So, my latest novel, co-written with the witty and wonderful Brendan Halpin, is nominated for a Rainbow Award.  Exciting news!

But not for someone who decided the LGBTQ subject of the novel and the award is enough to end our Facebook “friendship.”

Okay.  I wonder why this person friended me in the first place.  I love a Rainbow connection.  So I say to you, ex-friend, may you find freedom from judgement this season.  May you find the friends you need (elsewhere).  May your kids (if you have them) find love in the world with the person of their choice.  At the Passover seder tonight, our door is always open – for anyone, no matter their sexual orientation, race, or beliefs.  Even you, my friend.

And now, for something sweet!
