From CNN.com The California Supreme Court struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage Thursday, saying sexual orientation, like race or gender, “does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights.” In a 4-3 120-page ruling issue, the justices wrote that “responsibly to care for and raise children does not […]
Sad news … Brighton Height's The Vault closed its doors tonight for the final time. As we've mentioned before, the lesbians love this place. It had what we deemed a “lesbian friendly man-vibe.” I've probably been there a dozen times since last July and each was better than the last. I loved the hummus, the ice […]
This isn't going to be the post you might expect from me. I am tired of watching families wail on television over the loss of a family member due to the police. I am very sorry for the loss to the family and can completely understand that in their grief, they need to blame someone. I […]
I saw it first at Delaware Online followed by the Post-Gazette. HARRISBURG — The state Senate this evening voted to table a bill that would have amended the state constitution to ban gay marriage. The main sponsor, Sen. Michael Brubaker, R-Lancaster, said it had become clear to him that the bill would not pass in […]
Pennsylvania's most colorful Senator — and he would stand out brightly even in the gayest of gay communities — Vince Fumo is proposing to amend the, well, amendment legislation to outlaw divorce with a few exceptions. Mr. Fumo, who leaves the Senate on Nov. 30, said the stated goal of Senate Bill 1250 is to […]
The legislation passed in the Appropriations Committee 18 – 8. Four Democrats voted yes. Two Republicans voted no. So now the legislation moves toward a vote by the full Senate. Yes, that means more telephone calls. The “yes” votes (pro-Amendment) in SW PA are: John Pippy (R) Barry Stout (D) – Yikes! Mary Jo White […]
UPDATE: I made a call this morning to Fontana's office in Harrisburg. They are getting a ton of calls, going both directions. Similar reports from Costa's Harrisburg office. Keep it up. Sneak out for a cigarette break, even if you don't smoke, to make the call. I also heard that the rally is noisy. All good […]
Wow, lots to catch up on … Monday, May 5, 2008 is the Rally in Harrisburg. Rally? The Rally Against the “Protection of Marriage” Amendment. Ledcat and I had hoped to attend, but fate (and work) conspired against us. Are you planning to attend? I'm hoping for an eyewitness account. Last week, there was a “highly […]
Always taking over with their wholegrain, crunchy goodness and all those eggplants! Actually, I'm really starting to dig vegetarian food when it is cooked by Jessica at Hoi Polloi. Or Ledcat. Or anyone but me. But still … does everything have to be vegetarian? What next — recycling bins at Wendys? I regret to say […]
Three letters in today's Post-Gazette, two for gay rights and one for gay oppression. Still no letters in the Tribune-Review. Proud papa Edward Walkowski of Brookline simply wants his lesbian daughter and her partner to have equal rights. Edward recognizes the true political agenda of the Amendment supporters: The political leaders pushing this amendment are […]
