LGBT Volunteerism – Time to Step Forward

LGBT Volunteerism – Time to Step Forward

GLENDA is an amazing resource. I’ve participated both as a volunteer and as an organization using their talents. It is a locally grown treasure. I’m sad that they are in dire straights. I wish I had the time to make a commitment. The best I can do is to ask you to consider doing so. […]

Trevor Project Unveils PSA During GLEE

Trevor Project Unveils PSA During GLEE

Last night’s GLEE has my in tears for most of the show. The Valentine’s episode made me suspicious that there would be such a situation with Dave Karofsky, but the scene leading up to his attempt was heartwrenching. If you aren’t convinced about the impact of bullying of LGBT kids, I urge you to watch […]

The Civil Discourse of (Alleged) Religious Persecution

The Civil Discourse of (Alleged) Religious Persecution

I had somewhat modest hopes when I read the headline to Ruth Ann Dailey’s most recent column “A civil solution to same-sex marriage angst” Same sex marriage? Wow, that’s a big step forward from “gay marriage” and slightly more accurate if not as preferable as “marriage equality.” Ruth Ann, though, ensnared me in the quite […]

Sue on Bilerico – Infusing LGBT into BlogLocal

Pittsburgh is where it all began. I <3 Pittsburgh gave birth to the idea that a compilation of blogs could give someone a feel for the vibe, the pulse of a region. Hence, BlogLocal.  You’ll note that there are a lot of blogs from Pittsburgh, but many still to be entered. Such is the hazard […]

Cynthia Nixon is Entitled To Her Own Identity

Cynthia Nixon is Entitled To Her Own Identity

People. Shrieking and pulling apart Cynthia Nixon’s comments about bisexuality and gay is just tiresome. Relax. The world will not end because Cynthia Nixon has experienced and reacted to biphobia within the LGBTQ community. Guess what? We are biphobic. I can name at least a dozen women I know who have made repeated disparaging comments […]

Dallastown, PA GSA Attracts Critics, Supporters for Showing “Out in the Silence”

Seems like a former schoolboard member of the Dallastown School District is up in arms over a screening of “Out In The Silence” sponsored by the Dallastown Gay Straight Alliance.

Tell The Girl Scouts of Western PA That The LGBTQ Community & Allies Appreciate Their Support of ALL Girls – Buy ONE Extra Box of Cookies ($4.00)

I just posted the story about the 14 year old Girl Scout calling for a Girl Scout cookie boycott because the Girl Scouts permitted a transchild to enroll in a Brownie troop. So here’s my proposal. Let’s all buy ONE extra box ($4.00) and donate that box to the Gay & Lesbian Community Center of […]

Support Transgender Children; Buy Extra Girl Scout Cookies

Support Transgender Children; Buy Extra Girl Scout Cookies

Found this today on Facebook … A 14-year-old Girl Scout named Taylor is calling for a boycott of Girl Scout Cookies because the organization welcomes transgender children, World Net Daily reports. This became “an issue” after the Girl Scouts denied membership to a young transgender child and then reversed itself. I think you should buy TWICE […]
