The Newark city school district redacted this photo from the high school yearbook after labeling it “illicit” even though the book featured multiple heterosexual kissing couples. So the district blacked it out. After a brouhaha erupted, the school district offered to provide an “unredacted” version to anyone who wanted it. Huh. Elizabeth Edwards supports gay […]
This past week, this photo appeared in the Post-Gazette commemorating the vote to keep same-sex marriage legal in Massachusetts. It is not available online, but Mozarti at PghGay.com found it (h/t). From well-known member of the LGBTQ community Barry Ralph comes this letter to the editor: As a gay senior citizen, I never thought […]
Three years ago, the Post-Gazette's Ervin Dyer wrote a half page story on the growth of PrideFest. Two years ago, Caitlin Clearly wrote a short, vapid piece about gay flash. Last year, Anita Srikameswaran wrote a thoughtful story about Governor Rendell's participation in PrideFest and the issue of gay marriage. This year? PrideFest merits a […]
Quick post about 2007 PrideFest. Luke showed up. Point for him. Then during his speech, he said something to the effect that as a 27 year old mayor he, like gay people, understands what it is like not to be accepted. No exact quote because I almost choked and dropped my pen. I asked around and […]
This week, the man who is slowly creeping up the list of men the lesbians love (McIntire, Peduto, Dayvoe, Lamb and Norman) takes us down the rainbow brick road and shows us that things just might be a little better. Chris Potter of The City Paper writes … Pittsburgh will have a lot to celebrate […]

A press conference was held in the capitol to announce the bill’s introduction. […]
Luke Ravenstahl acted like a fool and lied to the public. Sad, but predictable. Hundreds of words have piled up around the Burghosphere calling him to task for his shameless disregard for truth (and his job). Meanwhile, five children in Larimer were killed in a horrible house fire. Someone blamed a non-existent teenage babysitter. Now it […]
Caught a story in the PG this morning stating the Peduto won't retract his accusations that the Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) is responsible for vandalizing several Shadyside businesses. Peduto claims they fit the profile, given recent acts of vandalism at a military recruiting station and Carnegie Mellon University. The most recent acts were tied to […]
The boy who would be Mayor President is making us feel guilty for upsetting his mama. According to the Post-Gazette's front page propaganda, er, article, the Mayor laughs in the face of those who would mock him. His sainted mother, however, weeps as we merrily make up awful crap about her son. Ha! Then there are […]
For those following the saga of my contact with the Allegheny County Democratic Committee … I spoke directly with Tiffany at the ACDC yesterday morning. She clarified the names and contact information for my committefolks. I asked her what their duties are and explained that I've never had any political contact with them (no contact at […]
