I have studied the Religious Right movement and its right-wing political allies for more than two decades, and written extensively about marriage equality, religious liberty, and other conflicts at the intersection of religion and LGBT issues. I have been cited as an expert in national publications including the New Yorker, New York Times, Washington Post, and USA Today, and have appeared on national broadcast outlets including MSNBC and National Public Radio. As a senior fellow at People For the American Way, I contribute to PFAW's Right Wing Watch blog as well as to longer reports analyzing conservative movement strategies. As an associate editor for online magazine Religion Dispatches, I write a weekly column on global developments on religion and LGBT issues. I authored a chapter on the relationship between the Religious Right and Tea Party movements that appears in "Steep: The Precipitous Rise of the Tea Party," which was published by the University of California Press in 2012.My writing on religion, politics, and LGBT issues has also appeared at The American Prospect, The Public Eye magazine, Salon, Alternet, and Rewire.As a freelance writer, editor, and communications strategist with more than 20 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, I provide quick-turnaround writing and editing, including speeches and op-eds, materials for lobbying campaigns, and in-depth research and analysis for progressive foundations and advocacy organizations.
