Jess Keith, right, watched the rally that she had inspired from the sidelines with her partner Melissa Darnell who had flown in from Palm Springs to be with Jess. seaQwa photo by Robin Evans Missoula Mayor John Engen can give a rousing stump speech. And he had for the crowd ready to hear a good one Monday night in Missoula. Well over 200 people had gathered at a downtown club in the early evening by the time Engen was introduced. The crowd had become dense enough in what is usually the Badlander's dance floor that the mayor couldn't make it to the stage. He started shouting from his place...

Missoula, Mont. -- On a clear, cold, sunny day, I walked this morning from Missoula's bus station to a motel on the opposite side of town. I've had to leave my apartment in Seattle for a couple of weeks while the building's management makes some long-overdue repairs. I'll stay for the duration at my sister's house in Butte.

It strikes us as strange that events way off in those little Baltic states of Europe can take on local significance, but with a homophobic preacher like Ken Hutcherson in our back yard, what happens there does indeed affect those of us here who care in some way about LGBTQ rights. We saw that last week when Hutcherson and his partners tried to bring to Lynnwood a group of like-minded homophobes. One of the invited guests of the conference (and we're not sure if he made it) was the Russian-speaking preacher Alexey Ledyaev who operates New Generation Church in Riga, Latvia. And that brings us...

A portrait of Satender Singh rests on his grandmother's table. Sacramento Bee photo by Kevin German Anti-gay American crusaders, including Redmond's Ken Hutcherson and Oregon's Scott Lively have celebrated the anti-gay energy brought to their movements by evangelical churches for Russian-speaking emigres from former Soviet republics. A recent assault in Sacramento shows the danger of that "energy" when misdirected. The death in Sacramento early this month of Satender Singh, a 26-year old immigrant from Fiji, has riled tensions there between the city's large Slavic immigrant...
