🎶 Alison Moyet lit up Portland’s Crystal Ballroom on May 14! 🎤 Ezra and I were blown away—her voice was 🔥 and the reimagined classics from her Key album were mesmerizing. 40 years in, and she’s still a powerhouse. What a night! 💃🕺 #AlisonMoyet #KeyTour2025 #PortlandVibes

Hands off our rights!
My first protest in the West—definitely not the last. Showed up loud, proud, and unafraid at today’s Hands Off rally in Vancouver, WA. Fired up and ready for more.

When you eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion you are left with H.I.S.

Homogeneity,
Inequity,
Segregation
- a society that upholds sameness, injustice, and exclusion.

From a frigid 28° to a fair 48°, the day unfolded beautifully—frost to warmth, light to brilliance. Ending with this radiant colored twilight.

These seventeen days of winter sun have been a gift. From frost-kissed mornings to resplendent sunsets, each day has been a quiet wonder. This morning’s view on the river was no exception.

Next Sunday, I finally get to meet Bishop Cedrick Bridgeforth—a leader I deeply admire. We share so much: age, a Southern upbringing, a journey of faith as gay men. I can’t wait to show him what we’re building in this little rural church. Join us on YouTube for the live stream! #UMC #FaithInAction
