    The thing that’s amazing is that Walz did these things in the 1990s, when it was still reasonably common to fire teachers for any kind of hint they might be gay. That takes real courage.

      I’m a person that regularly forgives people for “sins” committed in a time where what they were doing was considered normal by that time’s standards but regressive by today’s standards.

      Honestly, it just feels refreshing to have a guy that’s actually been pushing his ideals ahead of the status-quo and hasn’t shirked from being “too radical”.
