There's a tendency on the right and in some left circles to look at Talarico as a guy that took whacky woke positions on trans people in 2020. But you talk to people in his church who know him well, this is always who he's been and it all flows from his faith.

Thank you for your work. This is encouraging. Critical for people of faith to speak up in support of trans people as a moral imperative and to be consistent with their faith. Not gonna happen on the right but a lotta fence sitting in the middle and left that can be changed. The tide can be turned.
