Walz

Veep Kamala Harris has chosen Minn. Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, and the Human Rights Campaign is over the lavender moon.

In an email today, HRC trumpeted how Walz, as a high-school history teacher and football coach in 1999, sponsored his school's first gay-straight alliance. The email goes on to list his considerable pro-LGBTQ efforts in Congress and as governor.

But honestly, HRC had me at the first point. A straight Midwestern football coach offers to serve as faculty adviser for his school's newly formed gay-straight alliance student group? How refreshing is that?

I should add that I'm available to write the musical.
