Remember the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)? Earlier in the week, I checked Facebook and discovered I had been invited to join a new group to push for an inclusive ENDA. Inclusive means sexual orientation and gender identity (and expression but whose counting?). Not the palatable, baby steps, throw out the scary genderqueer folks version. The […]
Big night. First, how about New Hampshire? Now six states offer marriage equality to their residents. Second, the Humane Society recycling fiasco gets increasingly snarled. Matted, perhaps? Read the article and tell me if you share my outrage that the local organizations are upset MORE about their lost profits than by the toxic destruction being […]
Not a lot to report on the local front. The dueling marriage equality bills are not generating the outpouring of letters to the editor we experienced in 2006 and 2008. Maybe you could write one? New Hampshire votes on marriage equality today. Check out the comments section to see (for once!) a constructive outcome to […]
Two upcoming movies sponsored by the Film Society.

Personally, I think this is more rhetoric from a President who once called himself a “fierce advocate” yet has backed off many issues that he has the power to address: Don't Ask, Don't Tell, federal benefits for domestic partners, etc. These Pride proclamations are a little more useless than the showcase of politicians who show […]

In another not-slanted-at-all story, the Tribune informs us that most Pennsylvania's prefer civil unions to marriage equality. Read for yourselves. A poll released this month by Muhlenberg College showed 61 percent of people in the state support civil unions, but 51 percent oppose gay marriage. Gay rights advocates note that support for civil unions increased […]

The Post-Gazette has the story on a recent decision by Westmoreland County Community College to extract two classes from their non-discrimination language. Since 2000, Westmoreland County Community College has published notices saying the school will not discriminate against individuals based on various circumstances, including their “sexual orientation” and “union membership.” But the school now says […]
