One coming-out in one small town can move the hearts of a lot of people for a long time after. Whenever I go home to Deer Lodge, Montana, and enjoy the acceptance -- or at least tolerance -- of a certain percentage of the population, I know that I owe it to a man named Jan Stewart. Deer Lodge is the 2nd oldest community in the state -- it goes back before the 1860s gold rush, before the mixed-blood ranchers who settled there in the 1850s, into the last days of the fur trade and the First Nation peoples living there in the valley. Jan made that history even more colorful.
