A "unique prism"

In the foyer of the House of Commons today, after a blitz of scrums and interview for the piece I was working on (which should be on Xtra.ca tomorrow - check back for me to post it here), one of the CBC reporters started chatting with me, asking which story I was on. When I told him, he said that my beat (being largely the GLBT angle) is a "unique prism" on these issues, and it's important that I'm covering them. That was pretty awesome to hear. Plus, having another journalist email me later and giving me props on the questions I asked for one of the scrums was also pretty cool.
