Bishop Lawrence Brandt said he intends to create a Diocesan Poverty Relief Fund to receive the money that formerly went to the Catholic Campaign for […]

Washinton Time ENDA EDITORIAL: Discrimination is necessary Subjecting kids to weirdos undermines standards of decency

Here's the link to the usual transphobic stupidity, although this headline is pretty awful. First-graders should not be forced into the classrooms of teachers undergoing sex changes. Religious broadcasters and faith-based summer camps should not be forced to hire cross-dressers. Women should not be forced to share bathrooms with people with male body parts who […]

ENDA and DADT

ENDA and DADT

My brain is really tired so I'm giving this my best shot. First, the follow up from the White House DADT protest yesterday.  The protestors have been released and preliminary reports on how the transwomen and transmen were treated in the jail system are additional sadness related to this entire issue.  Additional reasons for outrage.  […]

They may be a necessary evil …

I don't like political surrogates. This came up at the Steel City Stonewall Democrats meeting tonight with regard to PrideFest.  I suggested allowing only elected officials to speak which didn't go over very well.  However, I can tell you from last year, the decision to allow people with no name recognition to speak on behalf […]

Some folks went to DC and reminded us how to spell Pride.

Did you hear about the protest in DC where six members of our Armed Forces chained themselves to the White House gates to protest Don't Ask, Don't Tell?  http://gay.americablog.com/2010/04/6-military-vets-handcuff-selves-to.html http://www.pamshouseblend.com/diary/15889/breaking-getequal-military-veterans-including-autumn-sandeen-chain-themselves-to-wh-fence Some disagree with these tactics, but I suspect that we will continue to hear more from these folks … AMEN!

Because Rape is Funny if its GAY …

Because Rape is Funny if its GAY …

I saw this last week, but it is all over the place now and just thoroughly vulgar and disgusting.  The reputation of the Pittsburgh Steelers likely took another hit today with the news that Steely McBeam, the team's official mascot, has been accused of sexual assault in an incident late last night at a downtown […]

Gay- Friendly College Fair

Gay- Friendly College Fair

The Post-Gazette reprinted a piece from the New York Times on what amounts to a gay college fair in Greenwich Village. All this is good news for the young gay applicant. Of course, being gay does not lend an advantage, and the embrace is not universal inside admissions offices, and out. While much of the […]
