Allegheny Movement on Domestic Partner Benefits
The City Paper's own Lauren Daley was front and center at the very first meeting of the Allegheny County Human Relations Commission. Sadly, the 8 AM start meant I had to be at work and could not be part of this historic moment. However, the man called Potter has the scoop over at Slagheap. Front and […]
Joe Hoeffel Rally in Pittsburgh
You've probably picked up on the fact that I am supporting Joe Hoeffel in the primary race for the PA Governor's manse. I believe his vision and experience will translate into the leadership we need to move ahead as a Commonwealth, My support goes far beyond his solid stance on LGBTQ issues. I like what's […]
Be part of the solution
I read about this on Facebook … Want to pitch in and do your part to clean up the Gulf of Mexico oil spill? Get a haircut – and then donate your locks to Matter of Trust, a nonprofit group that uses hair to make mats and booms that can combat oil spills. The mats […]
Show us some Guv Luv
Speaking of Potter (he is always on my mind) … here's a great breakdown of the gubernatorial race. Note that this is a pithy snapshot on issues, not a comprehensive GOTV document. Speaking from the lesbian perspective, I think Joe Hoeffel has the most attractive disembodied head of the four.

It usually has three weekly runs, with participants meeting at the Columbus statue next to Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. It is good to see an article […]

I hope you were able to attend; we had a full house with 23 candidates or their representatives speaking. Following the evening, the full CRSD Board met to […]
Fayette County prison guard gender stereotyping suit settled
We first discussed this back in December 2009 when the Tribune Review reported on a federal lawsuit filed by a state prison guard in Fayette County. He claimed he was being harassed because he did not conform to gender expectations, including being too effeminate on the radio. (What does that even mean, asks the female […]
Could Allegheny County see movement on Domestic Partner benefits soon?
Word on the street is that this week's meeting of the Allegheny County Human Relations Commission should include a report from the County Personnel Department on health insurance options from the County's vendor. That should be a positive step forward. At the very least, Chief Executive Dan Onorato will have a clear plan on how […]
Wingnut Donutter pulls one over on LGBTQ community
I have to give Ron Razete of Peace, Love and Little Donuts credit. His anti-gay bigotry was on display in the Post-Gazette, the Pgh City Paper, national blogs and the Urban Spoon and he didn't miss beat nor repent a single vile word he spewed. What did he say? Here are some excerpts from his now […]
