The Post-Gazette published City Councilman Bruce Kraus' recent testimony on SB 1250 which would embed a definition of marriage into the PA Constitution.

Does the “Richard Simmons isn't a real man/is a girly she man” slur ever go out of style? Peter McKay is syndicated so I guess not.

Today brought sad news to, well, me and many other individuals in the LGBTQ community. First, came word that one of the godfathers of Pittsburgh's modern queer community had passed away at the age of 60. Randy Forrester (I'll insert the obit when it is published tomorrow) has been hailed for man things: founding Persad […]
Well, he finally has something to say about attempts to amend the PA Constitution. “If I were in the state legislature, I would oppose it, Obama said. Obama's silence on the proposed amendment to the state's constitution has proven worrisome to local gay rights groups who have largely thrown their support behind Hillary Clinton and […]
