People show moral leadership in many ways. I have long admired Dolly Parton for her music, her connection to the people where she grew up, and her quiet moral leadership expressed simply as “God loves everybody.” When she was asked to write a song for the movie Transamerica, she decided she could not do so until she understood the struggles and journeys of transgender people–so she set out to do that. Her song, “Travelin’ Thru” is deeply compassionate and humanizing, in a world that so often denies our transgender siblings either. -Michael Tino (CLF)
