Straight Into Gay America: My Unicycle Journey for Equal Rights

Last summer, Clausen unicycled 1,000 miles from Vermont to Virginia for equal rights, to discover everyday LGBT life, and to share the stories he encountered. From anti-gay preacher Jerry Falwell to the gay-rights directors of HRC, PFLAG, and Soulforce, Clausen's personal journey as a Lutheran pastor forced difficult choices between the exclusionary status quo of his church and the inclusive commitment of Jesus. People shared their lives with the Guinness World Record-holding pastor who, through roadside encounters and overnight stays, has crafted a story of everyday people living through the most polarizing political and religious battles of our times.
