Guest columnist Mary Grabar doesn't like new school curricula that teach kids coping skills. While opinining about this in the Tribune Review, she just can't resist a full body slam of GLSEN – the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network.

Save the Date: Sunday April 25 at 2 PM This is a fun event with good conversation and, of course, great desserts. It is really empowering to have two women taking the lead with a political event. The event is at 1343 Sharps Hill Road 15215. Following up on my previous post, this is a […]

The Post-Gazette has a lovely description of a (somewhat) authentic Hungarian wedding which took place in Duquesne over the weekend at the Hungarian Reformed Church. The bride's brother is a member of the LGBT community who recently relocated out of state. Here's the interesting part: Church leaders said they are hoping that groups not ordinarily […]
First, a link to the blog of Senator Daylin Leach, Daylinsights. He's taking on AG Tom Corbett. All of this is unnecessary. This lawsuit will proceed and the court’s decision will be binding on Pennsylvania with or without Mr. Corbett’s name on it, which begs the question of why he felt it necessary invest Pennsylvania […]
