John DeBartola from the Keystone Alliance/Gaylife Newsletter wrote to the Trib earlier this month. He forecasts introduction of 4 pieces of pro-LGBTQ legislation: marriage, civil unions, hate crimed and non-discrimination legislation. Both [Senator] Leach and [Rep.] Cohen have agreed to submit their respective bills for marriage equality and civil unions on Feb 7. Rep. Dan […]
I missed this in the Trib Review. To be fair, the online edition is unclear whether it is a local piece or a reprint (there's a byline and a tagline). But “he” takes a closer look at the pursuit of the institute of marriage for the LGBTQ community in the context of “anti-marriage” movements of […]
I could make bad puns about the disgusting combo of a pickle on a chicken sandwich, but I'll let the article speak for itself. Take a look at an event scheduled for February 2011, co-sponsored by Chick-fil-A and the Pennsylvania Family Institute, the leading anti-gay group in the Keystone State and a group that has […]
Rob Rogers has a great cartoon on the recent pro-marriage equality court ruling. Not up to date on the California ruling? The Trib reprints a nice piece from the Washington Post on the ruling. This could end up at the Supreme Court level, but for now its nice to enjoy a victory. The Trib also […]
Dr. Jillian Weiss is someone I admire greatly. I've been in touch with her for months, trying my best to contribute to the passage of the Employment Non Discrimination Act on the federal level. I was part of the ground troops getting commitments from our local electeds and I've written about it quite a bit. So […]
I don't like being told what to do. I support Joe Hoeffel and I think an impressive turnout from the progressive base will help Sestak AND send a message that we are a force. I get that there are progressives who support other candidates and believe sincerely they are doing the right thing. Which they […]
Quite a disturing tale from Mississippi …. you remember Constance McMillen who just wanted to take her girlfriend to the prom. Then came outrage, banishment, the ACLU, court cases, media frenzy … and a fake prom. Yes, the senior class held a “private prom” and sent Constance, her date and five special needs children to […]
From the Philly Gay News … A Pennsylvania lawmaker is gathering legislative support for a bill that would make civil unions for same-sex couples a reality in the Keystone State. The measure, the first of its kind in the Pennsylvania legislature, is being spearheaded by Pennsylvania Rep. Mark Cohen (D-202nd Dist.). Cohen said he’s so […]
From Berks County comes word of a Pennsylvania lesbian couple stuck in legal limbo. They married in Massachusetts, but to obtain a Massachusetts divorce will need to reside there for one year. To get divorced in Pennsylvania, their marriage has to be legal in Pennsylvania which it is not. Thus, their divorce petition was turned […]
Pittsburgh's own Reverend Janet Edwards examines the decision of former Pittsburgher, now D.C.'s Archbishop Donad Wuerl to eliminate family benefits (including health care) for Catholic Charities. This came in response to the legalization of marriage equality in D.C. As we wrote last month, Reverend Edwards is now a regular contributor to the Washington Post blog, […]
