The Calm in the Storm

When a prominent pastor from North Carolina argued that gays and lesbians should be rounded up and put behind an electrified fence to die out, Kathy LeMay refused to be poisoned by his words and others like them. Called "the calm in the storm" of the fight for gay rights, she urges her audiences to dispel their anger - right as it may be - and instead focus on empowering themselves and other marginalized individuals. "It's not what people say to you but how you respond to them that defines who you are," she says. Heralding this hopeful and humanitarian message, she insists that the gay community has an obligation to promote all human rights - not simply gay rights - and ought to use its social and political leverage to do so.
