There's a guy who takes an evening bus to work to clean a City office building for a little more than minimum wage. He's a little afraid since the evening hours are anticipated to be the most confrontational. Since he's not a City employee or a unionized employee, he has no choice. His fear makes […]
So this big conference of progressive blogging folk is coming to town in August and I am working with the Lambda Foundation and the LGBT Blogging Initiative to organize a big ole gay welcome reception. Between the Warhol and Pegasus, a good time will be had by 2,000 people or more. I helped Lambda set […]
My head has been spinning. In between trying to get some work done, I was flipping through my Blackberry to keep up with the breaking news on federal events. The LGBTQ community is getting mightily angry with the Obama administration and it looks as if, as Pam Spaulding puts it, the queer ATM might be […]
Bill Peduto is asking you to turn off the lights from 8:30 – 9:30 tonight to help raise awareness about environmental issues. Can you do that? Can I? Ledcat is going out tonight so I am wondering if I can cheat by turning out my lights and using my laptop battery? Does that count?
Tonight, Ledcat and I stopped by Peduto's campaign event at the Schenley Ice Rink. My last visit was like 1987. It seems different. There was no skating in our party. We came, we mingled, we munched and we listened. Here's an old picture.
So, heck yeah, I’m still a little sore. Thanks for asking. I actually did pretty well until my last trip down the narrow flight of stairs at work. Thankfully, my wrists and fingers are fine so I can blog away. How about someone saw my Twitter updates about the Steel City Dems endorsement meeting and asked […]
It has been a tumultuous week here at Lesbian Central. Backstage drama, frontpage drama, workplace drama and I think I burned the back of my throat swallowing thai tea to be polite while waiting for my takeout. The ordinance is losing steam, my friends. We lost another co-sponsor, Bob Macy from my hometown area of […]
On Facebook. I love Facebook and have over 140 friends. I found Melissa Hart's page through a former LDI classmate, Monica Douglas, who is currently the Executive Director of the Republican Party of Allegheny County. It will be interesting to see what this new friendship means. I'm also friends with DeSantis and Mark (of course). Peduto […]
I promised myself that I would not be blogging politically for the foreseeable future b/c my frustration with the state of LGBT advocacy in Western Pennsylvania is just off the scale. I have little objectivity b/c it is my actual life and livelihood and living conditions that have been cast aside in favor of bigger […]
In honor of the Primary Pittsburgh Project, I'd like to take a few inches of this blog to review why I think this is a great place for the LGBTQ/gay/queer community. First, the City of Pittsburgh has codified our civil rights and civil protections. It is illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, […]
