Western PA Round Up

Western PA Round Up

This is what caught my eye this morning … The military thinks we are stupid enough to accept a faux-relaxing of policies in lieu of real reform on Don't Ask, Don't Tell. You still aren't supposed to tell, but now if a third party tells on you — they aren't so quick to take action.  […]

Potter on Quinn: Gay Sex Unsanitary?

Just a quick nod to our friend, the wonderful Mr. Potter over at Slag Heap. In a gesture of bipartisan conciliation, I've been trying to find an upside for conservatives in all this, and I think I've found one, thanks to lefty media watchdog group Media Matters (motto: “We listen to Glenn Beck so you […]

Onorato's gay voting record: worse than we've been led to believe

I have done you all a great disservice on this topic. Someone I trusted told me that Pittsburgh City Council never took a vote on domestic partner benefits and I took that person at their word.  I went with the assumption that Onorato has never cast a vote on LGBT issues.  I should have done my […]
