Pgh Lesbian Correspondents

Welcome to the current edition of our new feature  – a signal boost to the efforts of our #AMPLIFY contributors to strengthen our communities. Our first posts were well received!

This list is not all-inclusive or comprehensive, but we’ll do our best to share the items our contributors ask us to promote. If you’d like to submit an item (and you are a contributor to the project), please email us pghlesbian @ gmail dot com.

Of course, if you would like to avail yourself of this promotional resource, you simply need to contribute your story to the AMPLIFY Q&A. It takes about 30 minutes.

We REALLY want to include YOUR events in future editions.
