Pittsburgh Gay Democrats Endorse Hillary Clinton

Pittsburgh Gay Democrats Endorse Hillary Clinton

Steel City Stonewall Democrats have endorsed Hillary Clinton for President.  (That link won't be good forever — Steel City doesn't archive their “news” very effectively.)  Interestingly, the group includes a list of LGBT issues that paint Clinton and Obama pretty much neck and neck. So how did Hillary come out ahead?  What is it about Hillary […]

Cattivo and Dozen Bake Shop — Lesbians on the Town

Saturday night, we finally had a chance to stop by Cattivo for some conversation and dinner with our friends, Emilia and Jessi.  We braved the weather and headed for Lawrenceville where we were early enough to snag a good parking spot.  Cattivo is a fine place for a bar.  It was clean and the service […]

The GLCC Newsletter is Out

The GLCC Newsletter is Out

We received our current issue of the GLCC News this past week after what seems like a long hiatus.  Is it just me or has it been awhile?  Maybe its just me.  I really look forward to this connection with the Community Center.  The professional quality just keeps getting better and I really like that.

Myron Cope – the Lesbian Connection

Yoi.  Ledcat caught the story on her way out the door this morning.  God rest his soul.  There's a much loved family connection to Myron Cope.  My great-grandfather, Gil Remley, was the sports editor for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (and the business manager for the Homestead Grays).  Family lore has that he gave Myron his first […]

Lesbians MIA?

Lesbians MIA?

What a week.  I'm supposed to be on vacation.  So far, I've spent 8 hours in the ER with my grandma, 4 more hours in a skilled care facility (she's going to be fine).  I've had contractors zipping, sawing and hammering away for about 16 hours.  I spent 12 hours christening our new bathroom due […]

Queerty on Obama’s Gay Backers

Queerty on Obama’s Gay Backers

In honor of my new friend Kris Rust, here's a look at what some prominent queers are saying about their support for Obama.  It is an interesting read.  But note that all three interviewees are men.  I”m still looking for input from lesbian Obama supporters.
