Sigh. PittGirl. She gets all the cool guys. Eric Heyl reads her blog AND sends her email. And uses queering as a verb. I was all sad and sighy for a few moments. No one from the Trib reads this blog and I make relentless references to them. Sigh. However, not all is lost for […]
You aren't that surprised are you? The Trib's editorial board clicked their heels and jumped into line with the right wingnuts clamoring about the House of Representative's extension of federal hate crime protections to the LGBT community. It passed 237 to 180 while a companion bill works its way through the Senate. W, of course, […]
I spent 90 minutes detailing what I deemed an historic event for Pittsburgh's LGBT community and the local Democratic Party. The party detailed it thusly (h/t Progress Pittsburgh): GLBT: A good crowd representing the GLBT community in the area met with a dozen candidates and discussed issues of concern within the community, raising health care […]
From Weds' PG “This is a congregation that has been dealing with these issues for years, long before I ever came on the scene,” Rev. Weaver said. “This congregation is concerned about the shift of the denomination away from biblical standards.” He believes that reports endorsed at last year's General Assembly weakened the church's commitment […]
I found this while cleaning out some boxes. Ok, while moving some boxes around the attic to make it look like I had cleaned them out. Maria convinced me to post it thinking you might get a kick out of it. That was senior year of college … November 1991. The inscription reads …”To a […]
This is really long, but read to the end for the outcomes. First, here are the Steel-City endorsements and here are those of the Gertrude Stein Club. Tonight Ledcat and I scurried home to let the dogs out and head over to Shadyside for an historic meeting — the first ever LGBT forum sponsored by […]

Darnell Jones II, Seamus McCaffery, Debra Todd, Christine Donohue, Ann E.

The absurd …a father is suing an Arkansas library because his sons “stumbled across” the Whole Lesbian Sex Book which disturbed them greatly. I believe the quote is that they had two sleepless nights at his house. Hmm … The ridiculous …Rudy Guiliani does a big and very public flipflop on civil unions. In case […]
This morning the PG published a letter from Mark Santucci of Ross who objects to the bias of the PG on gay marriage. The Post-Gazette needs to be more balanced in its story selections. The vast majority of people in Pennsylvania feel that marriage is only between one man and one woman. Traditional marriage, as understood […]
Does this mean Luke and Yarone have to take down the “No Gurls Allowed” signs from their wing of the City-County Building? Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, speaking to the crowd, said he had not made many female appointments since taking office, citing two additions, but pledged to “diversifying” city government wherever possible. “I want you […]
