Title: Straight Into Gay America
First published: July 18, 2006
Description: Last summer, Clausen unicycled 1,000 miles from Vermont to Virginia for equal rights, to discover everyday LGBT life, and to share the stories he encountered. From anti-gay preacher Jerry Falwell to the gay-rights directors of HRC, PFLAG, and Soulforce, Clausen's personal journey as a Lutheran pastor forced difficult choices between the exclusionary status quo of his church and the inclusive commitment of Jesus. People shared their lives with the Guinness World Record-holding pastor who, through roadside encounters and overnight stays, has crafted a story of everyday people living through the most polarizing political and religious battles of our times.
