From Monday’s Valley Independent, I learned that most of the high schools in the mid-Mon Valley believe they are being proactive on cyber-bullying. According to Charleroi Superintendent Dr. Brad Ferko. “I think technology is a great thing, but like everything, it has to be controlled,” he said. “We’ve (addressed) bullying and cyber safety at the PTA […]
From the AP today, I picked up an interesting little tidbit. Swedish research indicates that lesbians' brains react differently to sex hormones than the brains of straight women. In fact, lesbian reactions are similar to the reaction of heterosexual men; previous research indicates that the opposite is true for gay men – their reaction are […]
Thanks to the Post-Gazette, we now know to avoid Chocolate Celebrations and the Milkshake Factory on Southside. It is the family business of siblings Chris and Dana Edwards, both of whom are proud members of the Bush Administration.

For one thing, your legislator is home in your district for the next month. This is a good time to contact her/him in person AGAIN and […]
It has been one week since the Post-Gazette article on the Rene Portland debacle ran (Penn State's 'Mommy Coach' a bigot?) Given that women's hoops are fairly popular around here, I expected … well, something! Between the lesbians, the parents of high school players, the Pitt b-ball fans, and those who actively support the criminalization of […]
How could I not post this (Mike Tidmus blog)
Last night, we took a drive into Regent Square to hear singer/songwriter Eve Goodman perform at the Square Cafe. She's great. We heard about her performance through a local Queer Events email list and thought it sounded like a nice evening. So off we drove. It was well worth the $98.34 in gas (kidding). 🙂 Eve […]
From Raw Story comes news that Iraqi police accused a 14 year old child of corrupting the community because he had sex with men. His punishment was to be dragged from his family's home and shot more than 4 times. The child's name is Ahmed Khalil. According to international lgbt rights group OutRage! Ahmed, like too […]
