You may have heard some rumblings that there's a ballot battle up in Maine.  Perhaps you wonder what its all about and what it means for Pittsburgh. Maine affords marriage equality to all residents.  This means same sex couples can marry and enjoy the privileges and rights associated with that institution, both legally and personally. […]

Busy day.  We stopped by the Mall to discover that I have a “proprietory” watch (Fossil) which translates into driving to Grove City to buy a watch band.  Not cool, Fossil.  Not cool.  I'm planning on wearing my pocketless culottes tomorrow so I can't even carry around my Blackberry as I galivant between offices.  Not […]

He brought it up first. I'll admit it was the elephant in the room and I was debating how to bring it up without going into accusatory mode.  Everyone talks about it.  His Steel City Stonewall Questionnaire is pretty darn good, but “it” lurks like the tell tale heart.  Or so it seems. But Independent […]

Four years ago, I added Laura to my AAA membership.  I called, shared her information – including our relationship status – and paid the additional fee (same process as my Dad adding my Mom to his account).  We've used repeatedly over the years; she's used it more oftenn than I for travel purposes.  So I […]

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I sat down to chat with Dok Harris in his DIY-themed campaign office in Oakland, hipply located under the former home of Phantom in the Attic comic store, but it sure wasn't a gentle reproof that I was slurping a Starbucks frappucino in lieu of a home-brewed […]

Story from the Washington City Paper.  I hear lots of complaints from local folks, especially women, about American Apparel's pretty sexist ads in the local City Paper.  This week, hooligans targeted a couple of local American Apparel stores over the stores’ prominent “Legalize Gay” T-Shirt displays. On Monday, a window at the Silver Spring location […]

Woke up a bit early this morning and had a nice surprise.  Ian Price of Friendship took the time to write in with his thoughts on the impact of the Pittsburgh LGBTQ Pride March. In the spirit of Pittsburgh's 250th anniversary, we stop and reflect on the great things Pittsburgh has achieved and on the […]

WJAC-TV from Altoona is apparently the first MSM outlet to cover Exist-gate.  Eichelberger issued a statement with a non-apology: The Keystone Progress has started an online petition demanding an apology from the senator. So far, 4,000 people have signed the petition. Eichelberger issued this statement to WJACTV.com: “This group is a politically active group that […]

I'll try to keep this updated because I think it is important that we keep tabs on how this outrageous comment strikes our elected officials, the media and so forth.  The debate itself has been heralded in the gay media as a great example of a straight elected official laying out the argument for marriage […]

US Representative Barney Frank has issued a call for cosponsors on legislation to provide employment protections based on sexual orientation, gender identify and gender expression (known as an inclusive ENDA). Your charge is to contact your US Representative – by Tuesday – and simply ask them to cosponsor the legislation.  You can do this by […]
