Dan Frankel says we need to vote for Onorato
LGBT champion, State Representative Dan Frankel penned a letter to the Post-Gazette urging Western Pennsylvania to support Onorato because he's the better choice on LGBT issues. The cruz of his arguement is that Corbett thinks existing anti-discrimination protections on the statewide level are fine and has no intention of expanding them. Onorato has stated he […]
The Big Gay 2010 Political Wrap Up …
I got nothing. You can vote Team Democrat and hope for the best. Or you can vote for the best commercial. Or the candidates least likely to have to defend themselves from being labeled a witch. I tried to write a thoughtful analysis, but the only person I have any respect for is Joe Sestak. […]
LGBTQ folks rally to reelect Congressman Patrick Murphy – PA
Congressman Murphy is possibly the only candidate in the entire nation that has the backing of the entire gay community, from Beltway insiders to jailed activists. He's been on the frontlines about repealing DADT and makes no apologies. If you've been paying attention to LGBT politics, you're most likely aware that the rift between Gay, […]
PA Senate Race – a dead heat?
Step back, naysayers. It appears we have a race. According to poll data released today, Sestak LEADS the race, 46-45. You can put Pennsylvania Senate back in the toss up category. Joe Sestak leads Pat Toomey 46-45 in our newest poll of the race, erasing the 9 point deficit he had in an August PPP […]
Star Struck?
This morning, Ledcat and I toddled down to Millvale to try out their incarnation of Pamela's Diner. I expected to be thrilled and amazed by yummy strawberry pancakes, but turns out it took a chair to slay me. Michelle Obama's chair. Well, she doesn't *own* the chair. She sat in it. When she stopped by […]
I find myself longing for Guy Costa …
As reported in today's Rich Lord article, the attitude of Public Works Director Robert Kaczorowski pretty much exemplifies the worst type of entitlement so many public <ahem> servants exhibit. The piece is on the official report on how to make things better if we have another snowmageddon. Mr. Kaczorowski didn't even read it, but is quick […]
PA Rep Tim Solobay – defends himself from Harrisburg “trash”
I was pleased that Representative Tim Solobay used quick thinking to defend himself in an attempted mugging in Harrisburg. I'm glad some of the suspects are in custody and no one was injured. It is a good story of an individual using the resources at hand to get help. Being a former athlete didn't hurt. […]
Rift in the LGBTQ Community
From Congress.org comes this insightful analysis on what the looming failure to repeal DADT says about activism within the national LGBTQ community. The grassroots folks are calling for more accountability from Gay, Inc. perhaps to form a more cohesive and inclusive strategy to getting *something* accomplished? Personally, I think stripping away the veneer of cooperation […]
Progressive Revolt
Is it possible that after the Dems are slaughtered in November, us “dissatisfied” progressives will revolt in Tea Party style and wrest control of our party away from capitulating milquetoasts? Did I even spell that correctly? Do I care enough to check? No. I just want to find some hope in the future and some […]
