Today is Ledcat's birthday and she gets to spend it at a dinner for my work. Wow! That's love, folks. Last night, I threw her a surprise party at Hoi Polloi on the Northside and it was awesome with a capital AWE. Jessica, Sandra, Daniel, Christopher and Julian did a great job prepping for the […]
What's good news for Californian queers may mean the battle over same-sex marriage heats up again in Pennsylvania as the anti-gay marriage amendment backers put on the pressure to revive that legislation. They argue that predictions of courts overruling state DOMA laws has come true and call the Pennsylvania House to gird their loins for […]
Wow … rumors abound on the recent closure of The Vault. I've had word from “the investors” claiming they closed for a few days because the staff resigned and new staff must be found. Will The Vault reopen or is this sort of like The Vault-lite with whipped cream and everything? Will the lesbian friendly […]
From CNN.com The California Supreme Court struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage Thursday, saying sexual orientation, like race or gender, “does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights.” In a 4-3 120-page ruling issue, the justices wrote that “responsibly to care for and raise children does not […]
Sad news … Brighton Height's The Vault closed its doors tonight for the final time. As we've mentioned before, the lesbians love this place. It had what we deemed a “lesbian friendly man-vibe.” I've probably been there a dozen times since last July and each was better than the last. I loved the hummus, the ice […]

The main sponsor, Sen. Michael Brubaker, R-Lancaster, said it had become clear to him that the bill would not pass in […]
Pennsylvania's most colorful Senator — and he would stand out brightly even in the gayest of gay communities — Vince Fumo is proposing to amend the, well, amendment legislation to outlaw divorce with a few exceptions. Mr. Fumo, who leaves the Senate on Nov. 30, said the stated goal of Senate Bill 1250 is to […]
The legislation passed in the Appropriations Committee 18 – 8. Four Democrats voted yes. Two Republicans voted no. So now the legislation moves toward a vote by the full Senate. Yes, that means more telephone calls. The “yes” votes (pro-Amendment) in SW PA are: John Pippy (R) Barry Stout (D) – Yikes! Mary Jo White […]
UPDATE: I made a call this morning to Fontana's office in Harrisburg. They are getting a ton of calls, going both directions. Similar reports from Costa's Harrisburg office. Keep it up. Sneak out for a cigarette break, even if you don't smoke, to make the call. I also heard that the rally is noisy. All good […]
