I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there’s been a Bisexuality Awareness (or Bi Pride) Day since 1999. Then immediately chagrined that I hadn’t known that. You are likely familiar with the ongoing dialogue around identity and language – affectionately dubbed “the alphabet soup” debate. Is it LGBT, GLBT, LGBTQ, LGBTQI, etc? In the midst […]
More than 400 feminist authors, bloggers and academics have signed onto a campaign to speak out against transphobia and attacks on transgender people by other feminists. (Update: More than 500 people have now signed, as of the afternoon of Sept. 19.) “A Statement of Trans-Inclusive Feminism and Womanism” is signed by people from all corners […]
Hey hey hey. Exciting news. We are officially sponsoring a film in the 2013 ReelQ Lesbian and Gay Pittsburgh Film Festival. Our film is showing Saturday, October 12, 7 PM at the Harris. The festival kicks-off Friday night (a movie about Divine) and wraps up the following Saturay with a really fun film about a […]
The Post-Gazette has published a lovely piece from Rabbi Aaron B. Bisno, senior rabbi of Rodef Shalom Congregation in Squirrel Hill. We don’t like the government intruding into citizens’ personal lives, and we have a deeply ingrained sympathy for victims of prejudice, having so often been victims ourselves. As Rabbi Yoffie states, “We know from long […]
Friday night, our car was rear ended while we running some errands. No one was seriously hurt – it was just an accident. The car in front of us made a sudden right hand turn into a car dealership. We were able to stop, but the woman behind us was not. Most important, her son […]
This from Sports Illustrated. The Penguins’ Evgeni Malkin, arguably the biggest star who is not yet on the record, managed to skirt the issue, saying he didn’t feel comfortable discussing the topic because English isn’t his primary language. It made for a lousy dodge. After all, it doesn’t take a nuanced understanding to say “Yes, […]
The first time I heard Mary Gauthier sing was on WYEP (shocker, huh?) a few years before I met Ledcat. The Louisiana connection caught me right away. I was struck by her stoic interview in contrast with her raw music and lyrics. Gauthier is coming to Pittsburgh on Wednesday September 25, performing at Club Cafe […]
Seriously, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when I read this in the Post-Gazette letters to the editor: The people of this region spoke loud and clear of how they feel about gay marriage when we supported Chick-fil-A and stood in line for hours and wrapped around the building several times. The people […]
You may have heard that county singer Vince Gill went out to “see hate” when the WBC showed up at his recent concert to protest the fact that he and his wife, Amy Grant, are both divorced. Ahem. Gill was pretty amusing. So score 1 to him. Then there’s this. It is possibly […]
Maybe because it is my birthday (October 22) or maybe because the change of seasons made my happy, but I’ve always enjoyed “the fall” – autumn, especially as it played out in my imagination – a New England crisp, colorful, crinkly season. Usually, September was still pretty hot, October was iffy and suddenly it was […]
