Straight into Gay America

sigh. I seem to be doing that a lot lately.

This is from the Soulforce newsletter.

Straight into Gay America hits the road on June 14.

Rev. Lars Clausen is an ELCA Lutheran pastor who holds the Guinness World Record for traveling 9,136 miles on a unicycle in all 50 states. On June 14, 2005, Rev. Clausen will launch a new unicycle tour called Straight into Gay America.

The 1,000 mile tour begins in Burlington, Vermont. Near the end of the trip, Rev. Clausen will ride into Lynchburg, Virginia where he will worship at Jerry Falwell's church along with Mel White and Gary Nixon.

Rev. Clausen will attempt to get beyond the religious and political polarization surrounding GLBT issues in America today. He hopes the vulnerability and hospitality of the unicycle will allow him to get closer to the everyday life of gay people.
