This promises to be fun. Tonight, Ledcat and I are heading out to the annual Celebrate Life, Celebrate Art auction to benefit Persad Center. From there, we'll be liveblogging about the auction and the art and the people and all that good stuff. I have an official press perch near a stairwell somewhere from whence […]
Readers. Here's a bit of shameless pandering. I am searching high and low for raffle prize donations. Can you help? Any item large or small — a candle, a CD, a tee shirt or mug promoting your company/organization — all will be put to good use. My program is sponsoring one of Pittsburgh’s few vegetarian […]
(My mother-in-law gave me this tip at our Mother's Day lunch as it hasn't yet made the Pittsburgh papers.) From the Sharon Herald (largest paper near the college) comes word that John Gechter will be permitted to graduate with a GCC degree.

Grove City suspended 21 year old John Gechter for his gay porn career which he used to finance his college education. Gechter was due to graduate this year and begin graduate school in the fall. Gechter is appealing the decision, claiming that his work in the porn industry under an alias is not the school's concern. […]
[This post will remain at the top of the blog until the event ends.] One of the highlights of the year is the annual Celebrate Life, Celebrate Art auction to benefit Persad Center. Formerly known as Art for AIDS, this event is a masterful reminder of the continued urgency of this and other issues addressed […]
The City Paper has a nice, in-depth profile of Court of Common Please candidate Hugh McGough. Hugh is the first openly gay man to run a judicial race, but the article proposes a myriad of other reasons to support him based on experience and qualifications.
