I’m a recent subscriber, and while I love the magazine generally, I have to express special admiration for Eric Siegel and Luna Anna Archey’s “Queers, alpacas and guns.” It often seems there is a consensus that certain communities can only find homes in either our urban or our rural spaces, but not both. This has never actually been true, and articles like this remind us that “blue vs. red” and other artificial divides can create rifts between communities that don’t need to exist. It’s always worth the effort to tell the stories that provide a truer narrative.
