Keep up the momentum:  Boycott Prop 8 Supporter right here in Pittsburgh

There's been a lot of chatter about pushing back against those who financially supported the Yes on Proposition 8 initiative to show that the LGBTQ community will not have our rights ripped away and then blindly spend our $$ to fill the coffers of those who did the ripping. LGBT organizers have been posting lists […]

Jim Quinn: “Gay Sex Produces AIDS”

Ah, Jim Quinn.  He has no problems with gays, except for our impact on health insurance premiums what with all the AIDS generating sex we have and our attempts to “muddy the waters” by wanting to get married.    GLAAD is calling on all homosexuals to urge Clear Channel Communications to sanction Quinn.

Recently in the Burghosphere …

It seems that three popular blogs have decided to close up shop.  You probably read something about in the PG a few weeks ago.  I've peeked at the commentary and heard some of the reasoning.  I can appreciate that folks want to invest their time and energies into something more personally fulfilling.  I can also […]

Pittsburgh Lesbian & Gay Film Society prepares for festival

I love that we have this cool film festival every year and always feel bad for missing most of the films.  I think we managed to get to two last year.  We did not like the after-party at the Cheesecake Factory so I think we'll skip that this year.  It must be very hard to […]

Update from Steel City Stonewall

Some news from our friends at Steel City.  Two ways for you to get involved. A movie night at Cattivo and a Bonfire.  How fun is that!  I haven't done a bonfire in years and years.  Ironically, I was moaning to Lance about the events all being in smoking venues.  Lo and behold, an actual […]

Sassy Marie’s, The Tribune Review, and Smash … the Lesbians Sum It Up

Wow … lots to share. First, we had one of the most delish meals in a long time this weekend at Sassy Marie's on the Northside.  Seriously.  The Cajun pasta I had was super reminiscent of my years in Louisiana.  They made the most delicious version of kettle chips with blue cheese and scallions.  And […]
