View Article  Steelers = Girly-Men in Gold? PG Fashion Editor Weighs In

In another stunning display of how desperate Pittsburgh media outlets are for any Steeler oriented story, the Post-Gazette's very own fashion editor LaMont Jones evaluates the "manliness" of the Steelers' gold pants.

Apparently, the Steeler Nation is aghast at the thought that our hometown heros could be perceived as "girly men" in gold.  Their alternative? 


Ditch the "gold" pants in favor of black, the other half of the Steelers' official team colors. Maybe add a tuxedo-style gold stripe down the outer legs for some pizzazz.

Yes, LaMont, because a bit of pizzazz will definitely quell any suspicions about their manliness. 

Dispelling any questions over his own manliness, LaMont goes on to wonder if black pants would make the Steelers look top heavy and voice his concern about the waddle-factor of the current bunchy gold material.

But the best of all is the last sentence ..


But for anyone who questions the manliness of the Steelers in yellow-as-gold pants, seeing the likes of Antwaan Randle El, Troy Polamalu and James Farrior stride off the field like victorious gladiators in a Roman amphitheater should be sufficient to put any concerns to rest.

Yes, that does it for me.

View Article  The Loss of a Champion - God Speed Coretta Scott King

Across the blogosphere, Coretta Scott King's legacy is evident particularly with respect to her longtime support of LGBT civil rights. 

We here at Lesbian Central - Pittsburgh are saddened to lose a woman we both admire and revere for her work on behalf of all human beings.  God be with you, Coretta.

View Article  Does Joe Paterno also hate lesbians?

I found this little tidbit while idly surfing the net (and not watching the State of the Union address) on Women's Hoops Blog 

It would seem that our revered football coach has been a longtime defender of Portland's hate-policies. 


 Joe Pa, then and now the most beloved and powerful figure at the school, refused to disavow Rene's policy and refused to say whether he'd kick a gay player off his football team.

Perhaps Joe hasn't considered that gay football players probably won't have to content with cute little girls knocking on their doors ...

 


Portland and Paterno both apparently opposed the efforts to ban orientation discrimination. Lipsyte reported in June of '91: "In recent interviews on the subject, Penn State staff and faculty members are guarded, seemingly fearful of incurring the athletic department's wrath."


 

Another fine example of good sportsman like conduct.  Think about all this when you send your daughter off to college -- if she's a dyke, she's not welcome at Penn State.  If she's not, she's fair game for the football team. 

 

Disgusting.

 

 

 

View Article  BlogActive.com Ramps Up the Culture War

GLBT activist Mike Rogers has significantly ramped up the gay response to the culture wars with this latest posting on blogactive.com   I fully support Mike's tactics of outing the closeted hypocrites whose actions harm our community. It is not a popular opinion, but a world in which a black gay man can openly toil for Rick Santorum is a world that needs some serious bitch slapping. 


Senator...

This post will be read by thousands and thousands of people... It's directed at ONE person.
Mr. Senator:

Tomorrow you will be faced with a vote that may have the longest aftereffects of any other you have cast in your Senate career.

Tomorrow you will decide if your political position is worth more than doing what is right for others like you. For others like you, Mr. Senator, who engage in oral sex with other men. (Although, Mr. Senator, most of us don't do in the bathrooms of Union Station!) Your fake marriage, by the way, will NOT protect you from the truth being told on this blog.

How does this blog decide who to report on? It's simple. We report on hypocrites. In this case, hypocrites who vote against the gay and lesbian community while engaging in gay sex themselves*.

When you cast that vote, Mr. Senator, represent your own...it's the least you could do.
