ouched by the kindness of Muslim neighbors after his boyfriend was killed in the San Bernardino terrorist attack last month, Ryan Reyes became an unplanned spokesman against religious intolerance.
On Tuesday he'll take his message to Washington, where he’ll sit in the balcony at the State of the Union address, a guest of President Obama.
For Reyes, it will be a moment with potential for healing — for himself and, he hopes, the country.
"If we ostracize people, they can't help us," Reyes said in an interview with The Times. "If we embrace, we can all help each other. I'm hoping this can unify us as a nation."
Near Reyes in the balcony, a seat will be left open for his boyfriend, Daniel Kaufman, and the hundreds of other people who have died from gun violence over the last year.

Given the sheer volume of muslim terrorism in the US since 9-11, it s going to take a complete purge of all facets of government and media before we can adequately protect this country. From the underwear bomber to Fort Hood, to Time Square and OKC, any sane person would deduce that islam is harmful to our national health. But these morons double down on apology and appeasement..

He didn't get shot and wasn't at the center but he'll get fawned over.
Exactly! You cannot make peace with someone who wants you dead! And Mr Homosexual would be killed with his boyfriend if he went to Saudi Arabia, Syria or Afghanistan - after both were used as girls by the muslim fighters.
He can sing “Give Peace a Chance!”, but the other side will give him pieces instead.
Let one of the Benghazi parents do the response to the speech
Typo??
I'm sure he's used to being used.
Probably Hispanic, too. Reyes.
“Boyfriend’s” name Kaufman. Is that Jewish?
There ya go. Now, if only they’d have been “married” and adopted a minority baby but can’t hit all the hot buttons.
I worked with a gay guy when I lived in CA, and we became friends. One time he told me he was going to a palestinian protest, and I told him that those people considered people like him useful idiots and they would kill him as soon as they could . He thought about it and didn’t go.
