Jonathan Rauch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the Washington Nationals' righthanded relief pitcher and the tallest player in the history of major league baseball, see Jon Rauch.

Jonathan Rauch is a gay[1], Jewish, author, journalist and activist, born 1960 in Phoenix, Arizona. After graduating from Yale University, Rauch worked at the Winston-Salem Journal in North Carolina, for the National Journal magazine, and finally as a freelance writer.

Currently a senior writer and biweekly columnist for the National Journal, a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly and Reason, and a writer-in-residence at the Brookings Institution, Rauch is also the author of five books.

A critic of U.S. government public policy in general, and specifically in its relation to homosexuals, Rauch has pursued gay-related topics as an openly gay author since 1991 when he spoke out against hate-crime laws in the National Journal, and is an avid proponent of same-sex marriage.

Rauch is also well known for an article he wrote in The Atlantic Monthly, March 2003, entitled "Caring for Your Introvert: The habits and needs of a little-understood group". In this article, Rauch described his own experiences as an introvert, and how being an introvert impacted his own life. For many introverts, his piece became a long sought after explanation of their own personality traits. Rauch's original article has drawn more traffic to The Atlantic Monthly site than any other article.[2]
