Courtesy of After 8 Pgh comes word that Dan Savage finally announces the definition of Saddlebacking. Hilarious. Savage's explanation here. Courtesy of PageOneQ comes word that schools might be able to kick out students (CHILDREN) who seem gay. Should be some comfort to Diane Gramley. Also a wake up call to those who don't associated youth gay […]
Angelle Guyette lives out the faith she believes by laying out an impassioned argument against those within her Christian community who hide behind hate, intolerance and fear toward the gay community. This lady pulls no punches. She trotted out into the cold to attend the Allegheny County Council hearing on the Human Rights Commission (apparently, […]
Womanist Musings has some data on the issue priorities of LGBT folks, and writes, “just like any other social grouping in the GLBT community, whiteness seeks to lead and make its issues primarily the focus for organizing.” (courtesy of Feministing). This is an issue we just tend to shy away from here in Pittsburgh. The […]
This looks like big fun. I've always wanted to learn how to ballroom dance. Getting dressed up and attending the Lambda Ball was a big thrill for me. I love when people design these things for same sex couples so that folks can be comfortable. I'd posit that a mixed-couple session should be the way […]
Check out the Post Gazette's new community forum. There are some bugs in the program, but it does make the paper more interactive. More reading to fit into my day. Sigh. Check it out: http://community.post-gazette.com/

The anti-discrimination bill before County Council (“Discrimination Bill Draws Large Crowd,” Jan. 16) has nothing to do with personal […]
I am disappointed. It has been more than 72 hours since John Eichelberger of the Pennsylvania State Senate uttered his hateful comment that he is “allowing” gay persons to exist. Everyone knows. This hits to my blog post and the one at 2 Political Junkies are filled with visitors from all sorts of chambers and governmental […]
Melissa has the story at the City Paper. She covered the Allegheny County Council hearing on a proposed Human Rights Commission. She talked to pro-ordinance folks. She talked to anti-ordinance folks. She considers multiple angles on the gay rights versus religious freedoms issues. All in all, she does a pretty good job covering the event. […]
I can't get to any of the groups I manage. There are dozens of help requests posted on the boards, but nothing from Google yet. Anyone have word? Also, I opened up today's PG and learned that check cashing places are regulated. Some dude in Monroeville broke the existing laws and is heading to jail. […]
