You should read this. You can't SEE it because HBO did not carry this portion of the inaugural event — the part intended to pacify the homos — and, according to reports from on-the-scene bloggers, the microphone was turned off during a portion of it.

I can't let the man called Potter have all the blogging firsts. So I stayed up until 2:07 AM to post the Post-Gazette coverage of the hearing before Allegheny County Council. Here is the link.

Here are some thoughts from Adam. Loads of people out in support. Also loads out against. Of those opposed 98% made purely religious arguments. It […]
Patricia Weaver Pa family institute. Against! Consequences. Religious schools might not be able to discominate. Photographers might not be able to discriminate. Physicians might not be able to discriminate. Catholics might not be able to discriminate. Also, I'm now going to mischaracterize the law and break the 9th commandment. <Diane Gramley and Tony Perkins kin. […]
Kishore Jayakumar High school student. Supports. Talks about how hard it is to be out in high school. Says is issue for mental health of county's youth. Like milk speech in real life.
