Holiday Shopping and foursquare.com

Wow, first weekend in December and we've wrapped up most of our shopping.  I did about 30% online and the rest in local stores.  Of that, its a 50/50 split between small business shopping and chain store shopping.  I don't know what came over us.  We actually picked something up for the niece and nephew […]

Weekend Wrap Up

Weekend Wrap Up

At the Bill Peduto fundraiser, we ran into Kevin Acklin who told us how much fun it was to watch the “Do They Know Its Christmas” video — what a blast from the past.  What's happening in the blogosphere this weekend? Pam's House Blend weighs in on Tiger Woods (love the “zipper down brigade” comment), […]

New York, Catholic Church and North Versailles …

New York, Catholic Church and North Versailles …

I just haven't had a blogging frame of mind this week.  Things have been happening, though.  NY government voted “no” on marriage equality.  The Catholic Church says gays and transvestites will never enter the Kingdom of God. (h/t Pam's House Blend) In North Versailles, some jerk punched a Wal-Mart greeter in what is termed a […]

The Sakia Gunn Film Project and Pittsburgh

Last night, Ledcat and I attended the “People in Color” film series at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater in East Liberty.  We caught my first performance by Dreams of Hope which was simply mindblowing.  They really are a bright spot in the local LGBTQ community.  We bought their educational DVD which we'll hopefully be able to review […]

Affordable Health Care for (Some) Americans Act passes

Last night was a tough one.  We came home intending to watch a movie and I screwed it up by getting sucked into the debate on healthcare … we hit the front door about 20 minutes before the vote on the Stupak (Women are Stupid) Amendment that made abortion unfundable across the nation.  A few […]

It iS saTurDAY

So much to review and comment upon … the weeks just fly by these days.  I have become a devote of The Today Show.  I used to be an avid morning NPR listener, but one day I clicked on the television and Harry n Maggie won my heart.  I don't know why. Is it middle […]

Weekly Lesbian Round Up: Pittsburgh Style

Weekly Lesbian Round Up: Pittsburgh Style

This weekend boasts National Coming Out Day on Sunday, October 11, 2009. There's this big march you may have heard about … this is a great rallying cry in the video above.  The march has been contentious as has been much of the “gay agenda” as we grow and groups emerge and differing opinions take […]

“Ex-gay” ministries in Pittsburgh

In an earlier post, I mention the possibility of a Northside church hosting an ex-gay ministry. It caught my attention for two reasons. First, these ministries are horrificly damaging, condemned by the American Psychological Association and prey upon very vulnerable people who need support sorting out their identy, not coercion.  Pam's House Blend has a […]
