Received this via email: Thomas Merton Center August 17, 2009 Emergency Civil Liberties Meeting – Be There!!! We tried to keep our G20 protests peaceful. We applied for permits to create a framework for the many protesters from other areas to fit in peacefully and avoid chaos.Our permits were denied. Does that force us to act […]
Uploaded the photos from today's Kiss In at the Westin Hotel in Pittsburgh. About a dozen folks shows up, but unfortunately, I was the only local attendee. I kissed Jeff from Harrisburg! 🙂 He was drawn to my Steel City Stonewall shirt … Here's the link to the photos … http://www.pghlesbian.com/blog/PghKissIn
Is the Post-Gazette going to shut down during the G-20? Anyway, the State can commit $6.3 million to a two day summit in Pittsburgh and not a penny of it extends to protecting civil liberties. No wonder your elected officials don't care that your programs and services are about to run out of the money […]
You know I've been helping with this little shindig at the Warhol, known as the “Unofficial” Official After Party for NetRoots which I in turn dubbed the “Gay Immaculate Reception” when I learned Mr. Franco Harris was planning to attend. The party began at 9:30. We arrived about 9:45 and the place was holdin 150 […]
She was not pleased when I came out as a lesbian, until she realized I was getting an award (40 Under 40) and would be wearing a skirt to receive it. She came around and embraced Ledcat like another one of her grandkids. Same gifts every holiday. She even remembered her as her dementia increased, a […]
This afternoon I was a guest on the local podcast, PRIDEcast, sponsored by OUTonline. It was a lot of fun even though I was struggling with a cold. I had a brief flirtation with a radio career so I was fine with the banter although anxious about the camera. We chatted about a wide range […]
A Kiss In here in Pittsburgh? You must remember this A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh The fundamental things apply As time goes by And when two lovers woo They still say, “I love you” On that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time goes […]
Talk about delayed reactions. On July 1, Allegheny County Council passed the Countywide Non-Discrimination Ordinance. On August 11, the American Family Association of PA prez Diane Gramley's ridiculous screech was printed in the Post-Gazette. Not even worth quoting. She's completely on to our hidden agenda to forcibly convert the Boy Scouts and send men in […]
Busy day. We stopped by the Mall to discover that I have a “proprietory” watch (Fossil) which translates into driving to Grove City to buy a watch band. Not cool, Fossil. Not cool. I'm planning on wearing my pocketless culottes tomorrow so I can't even carry around my Blackberry as I galivant between offices. Not […]
you know where I was going with this one, right? It isn't a lack of queer news to report. HB 300 is still alive and kicking in committee, but the lack of a budget puts that squarely on the back burner. An inclusive-ENDA has been introduced in the House and Senate. Doyle, Specter and Casey […]
