I love The Big Bang Theory

I love The Big Bang Theory

I love the weirdest shows.  My newest fav is CBS's “The Big Bang Theory” starring that cute little dude from Roseanne (another fabu show).  It is a classic setup — two nerdy guys and the hottie definitely unnerdy chic living next door.  I expected little, but was mightily surprised at how freakin' awesome is the […]

Cat Specter, Cindy Sheehan and the Itty Bitty Titty Committee

It looks like I'll be viewing the “Itty Bitty Titty Committee” after all, assuming all goes well next Sunday.  So I should actually thank the woman who wrote her somewhat critical missive about lesbians supporting the Pittsburgh International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival.  She got me off my duff and, well, onto my duff in […]

Round Up …kids, politics, films and …lesbians

Round Up …kids, politics, films and …lesbians

The Post-Gazette has a nice story on the impact of Gay Straight Alliances (GSA's) on local youth.  My favorite quote: “Prejudice begins at home, but I truly believe people can be educated.” The City Paper's Melissa Meinzer explores what H.B. 1400 could mean for Pennsylvanians.  This legislation expands discrimination protections to sexual orientation, gender identity and […]

Nice to see Ellen DeGeneres spreading the hate and intolerance …

Nice to see Ellen DeGeneres spreading the hate and intolerance …

Oh my lord … I cannot believe that Ellen DeGeneres has gone from one of the coolest lesbians around to a whiny, spoiled celebrity brat who pouts on national television because she can't get her way.  DeGeneres and her partner adopted a dog from a rescue.  The dog didn't get along with their cats so DeGeneres […]

WDUQ = Editorial Independence? Are you kidding me?

WDUQ = Editorial Independence?  Are you kidding me?

Does anyone seriously believe that Duquesne University has an iota of credibility with regard to the editorial independence of WDUQ?  Seriously, now?  Anyone? Scott Hanley thinks reporting on their own capitulation to the big D somehow indicates independence.  Duquesne University should do what's in the best interest of the public and surrender the license for […]

Man threatens to shank dog and people think the police are the problem?

Man threatens to shank dog and people think the police are the problem?

I love Pittsburgh.  Only here could a jackass like Kenneth King get sympathy for threatening to “shank” a dog.  King, a resident of the Mexican War Streets, walked past a canine unit at the Cedar Avenue Sunoco.  The K-9 dog, Benny, barked at him. From inside the car. Mr. King responded to the bark. The man screamed […]

AFA of PA spinning hate on H.B. 1400 — what are you doing?

Give it up for Diane Gramley, prez and proponent of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania.  She works hard to get her message of hate and intolerance out into the Pennsylvania heartland , be it letter to the editor or press release. She's everywhere the homos should be. Are you? Gramley sent out this snarky […]

Most people like gays sayeth the polls; Duquesne University flips off Planned Parenthood

Most people like gays sayeth the polls; Duquesne University flips off Planned Parenthood

Here's some good news from the Post-Gazette's wonderful L.A. Johnson < is L.A.a man or woman? does it matter other than for my pronoun selection?> A majority of U.S. citizens support equal treatment for gay people, a recent Harris Interactive poll reports. About 56 percent of straight Americans 18 and older believe people should be […]
