Tribune Review: People prefer civil unions to gay marriage. Huh.

Tribune Review:  People prefer civil unions to gay marriage.  Huh.

In another not-slanted-at-all story, the Tribune informs us that most Pennsylvania's prefer civil unions to marriage equality. Read for yourselves. A poll released this month by Muhlenberg College showed 61 percent of people in the state support civil unions, but 51 percent oppose gay marriage. Gay rights advocates note that support for civil unions increased […]

Westmoreland Community Colleges removes sexual orientation from non-discrimination language

The Post-Gazette has the story on a recent decision by Westmoreland County Community College to extract two classes from their non-discrimination language.  Since 2000, Westmoreland County Community College has published notices saying the school will not discriminate against individuals based on various circumstances, including their “sexual orientation” and “union membership.” But the school now says […]

Another front-page story, explains how the train-wreck docudrama episode featuring pseudo-reality stars' failing marriage gained the TLC show its highest […]

Your editorial “Same Old, Same Old” (May 26) espouses the same old marginalization of the enormous societal debate on […]

Western Pennsylvania Humane Society fundraiser gone wrong

Western Pennsylvania Humane Society fundraiser gone wrong

The Western Pennsylvania Humane Society conducted an “e” cyling event to recycle electronic goods.  They partnered with a company called EarthEcycle.  I was perplexed as to how ecycling could be a fundraiser given that most companies charge consumers to dispose of electronic goods. I asked a few question and was promptly attacked by staff, volunteers […]

Outrage the Movie to Open in Pittsburgh

Outrage the Movie to Open in Pittsburgh

From fearless documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick (This Film is Not Yet Rated) comes a searing indictment of the hypocrisy of closeted politicians who actively campaign against the lesbian and gay community to which they covertly […]
