This is now a sticky post to remain at the top of the blog until Blog for Equality Day is Over. Read below for more current posts *************************************************************************************** Back in 2008, 14 Pittsburgh blogs participated in our first Blog for Equality event to speak out against the attempt by the Pennsylvania Senate to amend our […]
What a bizarre twist of events. Virginia does not include sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression as protected classes in the state's anti-discrimination laws.

I've been working on this project with other local LGBT social media users and really want to applaud the group for embracing these tools to support their mission. The job description is also attached to […]

He has the second highest number of Tweeps (400) and the second highest number of Facebook fans (1,565). The leading […]
It is pretty simple. Human rights. Not special rights. Not gay rights. Rights for human beings who are denied opportunities because we are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer. The Post-Gazette editorial board agrees. Similar laws are on the books in other Pennsylvania cities, but the protection it would afford individuals based on gender identity […]
Just received confirmation that City Councilman Bruce Kraus, Pittsburgh's first openly gay elected official, will be speaking at the rally on January 10 and addressing County Council on January 15.
