I haven't been yet but all reports have been good. There's definitely things to do in Pittsburgh's LGBT community if you just look for them.

PG Review of Brokeback Mountain

by Sue on Fri 13 Jan 2006 07:27 AM EST

From today's paper. My favorite lines

Having seen "Brokeback Mountain," I can promise you two things: It's not a social contagion planted on the screen to infect America's youth, and the water-cooler comics who've been making all those gay-cowboy jokes without seeing the film are going to look really stupid on Monday morning.

Received this today from Steel City Stonewall Democrats

----- Original Message -----

From: Steel City Stonewall Democrats

Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 9:51 PM

Subject: Town Meeting: PA Constitutional Amendment

An amendment to the PA constitution has been proposed that would both limit marriage to one man and one woman and deny all unmarried partners a status "substantially equivalent" to marriage. The purpose of this meeting is to present what we currently know to the community, and begin to organize to defeat this amendment.

When: January 18, 2006
Where: GLCC in Squirrel Hill
Time: 7PM

Prior to this meeting, we urge interested people to take any or all of the following actions:
1) sign the petitions against the amendment being circulated by several volunteers or online at http://www.steel-city.org/marriagepetition.php

2) call your state legislator and urge them to *not* cosponsor the amendment. You can find the name and contact information for your legislator at http://www.legis.state.pa.us/

3) set up a visit with your legislator in his/her home office. Information on setting up a visit with your legislator can be found at http://www.center4civilrights.org/news/docs/set_up_meeting.doc

This meeting is organized by Steel City Stonewall Democrats, working with the ACLU of PA, the Center for Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights, and the Value All Families Coalition.
