My name is Sarah and I am excited to announce that I am the newest Correspondent. I hope to provide a witty and insightful look into how I view the world. So, bear with me and feel free to comment at will Thanks
My brain is really tired so I'm giving this my best shot. First, the follow up from the White House DADT protest yesterday. The protestors have been released and preliminary reports on how the transwomen and transmen were treated in the jail system are additional sadness related to this entire issue. Additional reasons for outrage. […]
I don't like political surrogates. This came up at the Steel City Stonewall Democrats meeting tonight with regard to PrideFest. I suggested allowing only elected officials to speak which didn't go over very well. However, I can tell you from last year, the decision to allow people with no name recognition to speak on behalf […]
Did you hear about the protest in DC where six members of our Armed Forces chained themselves to the White House gates to protest Don't Ask, Don't Tell? http://gay.americablog.com/2010/04/6-military-vets-handcuff-selves-to.html http://www.pamshouseblend.com/diary/15889/breaking-getequal-military-veterans-including-autumn-sandeen-chain-themselves-to-wh-fence Some disagree with these tactics, but I suspect that we will continue to hear more from these folks … AMEN!

The reputation of the Pittsburgh Steelers likely took another hit today with the news that Steely McBeam, the team's official mascot, has been accused of sexual assault in an incident late last night at a downtown […]
The Post-Gazette reprinted a piece from the New York Times on what amounts to a gay college fair in Greenwich Village. All this is good news for the young gay applicant. Of course, being gay does not lend an advantage, and the embrace is not universal inside admissions offices, and out. While much of the […]
The unofficial whip count is in my left column (you can click the buttons to see the House and Senate). Have you identified one person to contact House Reps Jason Altmire or Kathy Dahlkemper yet? Those are the PA folks we need to fuss about. Alternatively, have you called you WV friends and asked them […]
We've reported before on legislation introduced by State Representative Phyllis Mundy to create a “Children in Foster Care Act” to identify and protect rights of our most vulnerable children. The significant problem with this legislation is the need to strip protections for LGBT children out to ensure passage. Representative Phyllis Mundy of Luzerne County says […]
