Democratic, Republican and Senate Leaders Remain Silent in the Face of Anti-Gay Rhetoric
I am disappointed. It has been more than 72 hours since John Eichelberger of the Pennsylvania State Senate uttered his hateful comment that he is “allowing” gay persons to exist. Everyone knows. This hits to my blog post and the one at 2 Political Junkies are filled with visitors from all sorts of chambers and governmental […]
City Paper publishes article on Council hearing (are you paying attention, PG?)
Melissa has the story at the City Paper. She covered the Allegheny County Council hearing on a proposed Human Rights Commission. She talked to pro-ordinance folks. She talked to anti-ordinance folks.

Google Groups is broken
I can't get to any of the groups I manage. There are dozens of help requests posted on the boards, but nothing from Google yet. Anyone have word? Also, I opened up today's PG and learned that check cashing places are regulated. Some dude in Monroeville broke the existing laws and is heading to jail. […]

Equality
I don't have much time to blog today. It was hard to find time to watch the inauguration and there's always work and laundry. More is happening with the Club Pittsburgh criminal investigation and new toxicology findings. Find that at KDKA Investigations. We are waiting for some more details to come out before commenting any further. I […]

Also worth watching. I'm not glued to the inaugural events, but I am curious as to how it shakes out for our community. I picked this up courtesy of Pam's House Blend.
