It is only fitting that days after Amazon releases an “inclusive” commercial for their new Kindle, I am led to a series exploring the lives of transgender persons living on the brink (or deeply enmeshed in) poverty. The cause? Often related to their gender identity, especially in a fragile economy. “Transgender financial struggle: ‘How We […]
So, does it matter to you when advertisers incorporate LGBTQ identity into their commercials? This new ad for the Amazon Kindle has attracted a bit of attention because …… well, watch: I think it is perfectly fine and it is a sweet little twist on the traditional “guy hitting on married woman” meme. But let’s […]
(The array of divas included in the musical selection has a little bit of something for everyone!) Renaissance City Choirs to Showcase the Music of Elton John, Patti Labelle, Queen, Michael Jackson, and more at Upcoming Cabaret, So You Think You’re a Diva? Performances to take place at East Liberty Presbyterian Church onFriday, March 1st […]
I’m typically a fan of the multi-generational family “coming to America” novel. I think it may be all of the James Michener books I read in high school. So I had high hopes for this latest novel, A Good American by Alex George. While interesting, the novel lacks a sense of being grounded in reality […]
Things are always hopping at the Trib … lots and lots of letters submitted (and published) around LGBTQ topics. When last we checked, Rudy Gagliardi of Arnold was defending his stance that homosexuals can change their ways. And he’s not even the worst of the bigots! Five people wrote in to challenge Gagliardi’s point of […]
There is so much awesome green information available and I miss blogging about it. So because a greener lifestye is part of our lesbian household mantra (albeit slow to be fully adopted), I’m going to incoporate the topic into this blog. Each Wednesday, I’ll write about a green topic. Big, small, little, etc. And feel […]
My first visit to Verde Mexican Kitchen and Cantina in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood was for a “tweetup” bringing together 25+ local social media users. Because I was volunteering for the evening’s charity of choice, I stopped by early to eat dinner without feeling rushed. I loved it so much that I purchased a gift card and […]
You may have noticed that we added a “product review and promotion policies” page. We’ve been asked to do some reviews so we want to make sure everyone is on the same “page” (ha) before we launch those features. It did get me thinking about various events and activities we’ve been asked to attend or […]
Laurel from Pam’s House Blend takes a look at the Gallup poll results on the number of LGBTQ persons in each state. She questions if the data reflects actual disparities in the number of LGBTQ residents in the respective states OR the willingness to openly identify as LGBTQ in more repressive environments. Take a look […]
(Part 1, Part 2) One thing I probably should have made clearer from the outset: I don’t regard religion or even faith as a prerequisite to living a good live. I’ve met morally upstanding atheists and some really horrible people who also were professed Christians, Jews or Muslims. And I always regarded missionary work as […]
