Just in: Today at 3:56pm Reply This is a message from Garden State Equality: This is huge. The New Jersey Civil Union Review Commission has completed its final report. In a unanimous vote, the Commission pronounces the civil union law a failure and recommends to Governor Corzine and the legislature that they enact a marriage […]
Well, I couldn't resist as we had to crawl back through the mountains to Pennsylvania in the dark. Brrrrr. However, we are safely home and have rounded up all the critters from their various “band camps” much to their delight. The boys are studiously not talking to us and Ana is sleeping off her weekend. The […]
The Post-Gazette editorial board comes out in favor of a Florida ruling that the state law banning LGBT adoption is unconstitutional. Let us take a moment to be grateful here in Pennsylvania that we are not fighting back a similar ban or another round of marriage amending garbage (not yet). Pennsylvania has 20,000+ children in […]
It has been a busy day in the big city for us. The Initiative is just … really cool sums it up best. The majority of yesterday's inconveniences were forgotten in the many small nifty things that we experienced today. I met Pam Spaulding and Autumn Sandeen from Pam's House Blend.

Here's an important upcoming meeting. Note that this is one day prior to the Mayor's mtg and an excellent opportunity to discuss nominations for the Advisory Council as well as any process issues. A planned agenda item is recruitment for Steel City. As I've said before, I think this is one of the most important […]
According to the City of Pittsburgh – Department of Personnel re: the Domestic Partner Registry signed into law June 2008: There are six partners that have applied for the registry. Out of the six, five are same sex and 1 is opposite sex. I assume she meant six sets of partners or six couples (12 […]
A representative from the Mayor's office will be meeting with representatives from various LGBT organizations and entities to discuss the composition of the new Advisory Council. While the Mayor's planning team has reached out to Leadership Pittsburgh, LP will not be playing any part in the formation of the council. That's regrettable as the process […]
