"I'm less than half way through [this Rolling Stone article about an extreme anti-gay environment fostered by evangelicals in Michele Bachmann's district].

"I was about to say that I read it as a parent, but that's only half true. I'm sitting at my desk, a middle aged man surrounded by professional colleagues who respect me, doing work that I love and feel good about, living the life I wanted, with my spouse and kids of my own who can't wait to read to me when I come home ... and I start reading about bullying and I'm so full of adrenaline that I can't sit still. I'll have to read this in three or four installments because it's triggering and I have to stop. I read it as a bullying victim, though I left public school more than twenty years ago.

"So ... that's what I have to say about bullying."

[When links to that article were first being passed around, a lot of my friends and acquaintences mentioned being unable to read it all the way through in one sitting. I should probably go read the last two thirds of it myself eventually.]
