Your words here mean a great deal to me as do these: yes, I forgive you. I'd love to talk with you about where we can go from here; how our country can heal, how we can bring folks together to solve really big challenges. Will you send me an email via the "Contact Us" tab on the republicEn.org website? It would be awesome if this Reddit AMA could lead to something as powerful as two people being reconciled, peace being restored and way forward being found that could bring others along. Many, many thanks, Bob

Oh, no, we've had many moving toward acceptance. I just don't want to out anyone before they're ready to out themselves. They're out there. They're trying to figure a way forward. We need to show them support so that they can feel comfortable leading.

Great response below from oh_synap. I'd add this: at republicEn.org we're not for raising taxes either. We're for changing what we tax. Reduce taxes on income (something we want more of) and put a tax on emissions (something we want less of).

Life advice: Be about something that's big enough to be about.

Love. My son. His four sisters. His mother. A trip with the Science Committee to Antarctica to see the science there. Inspiration from an Christian Aussie climate scientist on another Science Committee trip.
