Just a silly comment: first you whine about how the ACDC unfairly assumes that you're going to whine ... then you start actually whining. Sometimes it's awful hard to please you gals.

BTW, there's an openly G candidate running for District 3 City Council, who has a legitimate shot of winning.

Note that I said "not necessarily show up to whine." I myself enjoy whining a great deal. Hence, a blog. :-)

Who is the candidate please?

Bruce Krauss. He's linked on my blogroll under "Our Gladiators"

Dear Sue,

So you won't find me on the ballot on May 15th. But
on Monday, you will find me moderating the "GLBT
Issues of Concern Forum" at the request of the
Allegheny County Democratic Party Primary Committee.

The Forum is Monday April 30, 2007 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
at Calvary Episcopal Church, Shady Avenue and Walnut
Street in Shadyside. Refreshments will be served.

All endorsed Democratic candidates running for local,
city and county-wide office have been invited to
discuss concerns and answer questions of LGBT citizens
and their supporters. The format will allow discussion
of any and all issues of importance to us -- including extending anti-discrimination laws beyond the borders of the City of Pittsburgh.

The local Democratic Party is breaking new ground by
reaching out to the LGBT community in this way. When
the candidates and elected officials come marching in,
it is crucial that YOU be there to be counted and
heard.

I hope to see you Monday.

Hugh McGough

Hugh,

Unfortunately, I cannot attend after all. Very disappointed am I, but I just cannot get out from under work commitments in time to make it to the event. Perhaps something will change by the end of the day. Fight the good fight!

Sue

How embarassing is it that Gertrude Stein DOESN'T endorse a candidate that is a long time PUBLIC LGBT advocate and a supporter of same-sex MARRIAGE equality rather than aheming about civil union? How could they NOT support Doug Shields for controller and endorse Lamb -- who has signed pledges to support the values of teh Catholic church?

If we shoot ourselves in the foot, we must deserve what the ACDP give us.
