I am barely under the wire with this post, but I want to share this photo from a wknd gathering. T to T is sponsored by TransPride Pittsburgh. I am constantly telling, ahem, nagging folks at the GLCC to take photos. So not only was I pleased to receive this – I feel it vindicates […]

Click here for a complete list of all LGBTQ&A profiles. I met Jessi several years ago through her wife, Emilia. If I had to pick one person (aside from Ledcat) that I […]
I’m circulating a petition asking a local business owner to meet and discuss a situation where an employee used the word “tranny.” I’m encountering resistance from people who would prefer I not include the word “tranny” (even in quotes) because it offends them. It is vulgar. Or its so in their face. It is not […]
