This nifty little pie chart from the Guardian is a great way to illustrate where our various states stand with regard to STATEWIDE equal rights. Brace yourself. Pennsylvania has nothing. Marriage – banned Hospital visitation – no clear cut rights Adoption – single parent adoption is legal (same sex adoption is not a law) Employment […]
Mark Critz is reputed to be a nice guy. But he’s no liberal, barely a moderate. So in this neck of the woods that usually means women and gays are screwed. Last night, freshman Congressman Huelskamp (R – Kansas) offered an amendment to the Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations legislation. The purpose? “None of the funds made available under […]
I am was so proud of KDKA. They had been very open to feedback from GLAAD on their coverage and did a nice job tonight covering the Obama story with less than one hour’s time to prep. The segments with actual political coverage were woefully inadequate. They went for sensational partisanship over the actual news. Reporter […]
http://youtu.be/qecdYEAby5I OBAMA: I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen […]
Now let’s be real … EVERYONE in Pittsburgh vacations on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. You can’t drive 5 miles without seeing the OBX window decal on at least one vehicle. In fact, on our last trip (2010) we discovered that our motel (we went quaint) had at least 7 different families from […]

No. But what can it mean?

Brian Sims tonight has won a decisive Democratic primary in his Philadelphia […]
From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: A transgendered couple from Cambria County with ties to the University of Pittsburgh have been subpoenaed to appear before a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh that is investigating the rash of bomb threats at Pitt. The couple, Seamus Johnston, 22, and Katherine Anne McCloskey, 56, said FBI agents visited their apartment […]
Today, we receive a lovely full color, multi photo Easter card from … M&Ms. Seriously. A Christian holiday card just a week after a full 8.5×11 color mailer and a color printed door knocker. I would laugh if his printing bill were more than $50,000. Then I would weep. httpv://youtu.be/U5-74QkzmGI
Name a current candidate for office and I’ll roll my eyes. I’m cynical that way, but seriously … ick. From lack of experience to criminal history to atrocious voting records, its just sigh after sigh. Well, there’s President Obama. I’m good to go there. News that the Department of Justice (DOJ in the twitterverse) will […]
