In ten days, Ledcat and I will celebrate our tenth anniversary. That’s a lot of years of love, tears, laughs, hugs and ice cream. We met at the Gay & Lesbian Community Center of Pittsburgh.

When Ariella Furman relocated to Pittsburgh two years ago, she heard one thing and observed another. People she met complained that there isn’t enough LGBTQ things to do in Pittsburgh. After some research, Ariella figured out the real problem – there isn’t enough information about the LGBTQ things to do in Pittsburgh. Her initial response […]
So perhaps you’ve noticed that we’ve recently added some advertising on our blog? Let me backup into blogger mentality. Two buzzwords in our community are “corporatization” and “sustainable model.” Coporatization is the (necessary) evil of patronage, sponsorships and so forth. There used to be a time when the ads in the pride guide were all […]
