A good piece from the City Paper on the development of a topical gel to reduce transmission, especially for anal penetration. Good to learn how much Pgh has invested in research. The article is much more succinct than I could be, but it is just important to remind ourselves that we cannot be passive when […]
My hair stylist, Susan Veraldi, owns and operates Veraldi Salon in Oakland. She just published her first book, Hair Peace which is available for sale. She also launched a blog, On The Fringe, which offers some pretty amusing insights into the daily life of a hair salon. I enjoy supporting a business that has been woman […]
Missed this in the Post-Gazette earlier in the week (I'd blame the search engine, but we've already been down that path). Like Mr. Franck, I was once the sort of earnest Christian whose judgment against sexual difference was formed according to what I thought were orthodox ideas about the Bible and Christian tradition. But I […]
I wrote this piece for Lez Get Real which includes the official statement from Chick-Fil-A corporate along with my analysis of what this whole sordid mess means for Pennsylvania. Thanks to Lez Get Real for the chance to bring a national audience to a regional/statewide issue. The story has gone viral and generated a lot […]

You can email your nominations as directed below. READER'S CHOICE AWARDS NEWS AND INFORMATION And as in the past […]
Did some tidying up of the blogrolls. If I missed something, let me know. Two blogs on the roll I “met” through Twitter … Burgh Baby and Einstein's Desk. I also updated a few links, deleted some that are no longer open for business and made some other tweeks.
This past week was the Fifth Anniversary for Sue Kerr and her Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents blog. Pittsburgh has seen a number of women leading with their voices online over these last several years. Maria Lupinacci has been blogging as one part of the duo of 2Political Junkies since 2004. 2005 saw the launch of Lindsay […]
Bram Reichbaum from The Pittsburgh Comet alerted me to an exchange between City Councilors Bruce Kraus and Ricky Burgess during the pension plan bailout meetings. According to Bram: Kraus: “I am neither a Republican, a racist nor am I rich.” Points out that Burgess never has supported gay lesbian & transgendered legislation and so doesn't […]
