Hey, can we do one more election post-mortem? (I know, I know.) Since last week’s elections, a lot of progressives have been taking victory laps: Phew! Well, that’s over. We did re-elect a president more LGBTQ-friendly than any U.S. president in history—even if we (and his own vice president) had to drag him there, sometimes. […]
Let me preface by sharing that Washington votes by mail so that referendum decision won’t be finalized for a few days. But last night was breathtaking in that fact that marriage equality had three solid wins. In Maryland, voters approved a referendum on the marriage equality law passed by the State Legislature 52-48%. Maine approved […]

It is always worth repeating this mantra – we can be fired based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. The Post-Gazette took some time to do this. In nearly 70% of the state, there is no protection. Your boss can fire you for being gay. Your landlord can refuse to renew your lease. […]
Earlier in the week, I was asked by a member of the local media to comment on how LGBT issues are playing out in this election. I gave it quite a bit of thought, but in the end I opted not to contribute. Why? Well, I could have pulled something out of the air about […]
At least in my opinion, Biden slaughtered Ryan. Ryan is smart, a good talker and knows the data. He just doesn’t have a plan to defend – only talking points. Even he looked embarrassed and frustrated. The only time he seemed at ease was answering the question most pertinent to the LGBT community – the […]
Where and how we provide basic support to our homeless neighbor is a NIMBY battle dating back to the day of separate entrances and so forth. And the recent failure on the part of City residents to embrace their most vulnerable neighbors reflects the fact that the private safety net is a total illusion and […]
