I'm hoping we can add some great links to topics we discuss on our show..

Sunday, September 13 tune in for a lively discussion on the history of LGBT character and defining moments on broadcast television.  Our guest will be media maven and City Paper television critic Fran Monaghan.  Fran is THE Ms. Monongahela and one of the longest blogging bloggers in Pittsburgh. 

We'll also be discussing why it is taking so damn long for the Mayor to get the LGBT Advisory Committee up and running as well as the fate of the Propel Commission and the City's Ethics Commission.  They may literally be tucked into a City Hall closet until it is time to dust them off for PrideFest.  Let's hope otherwise!

The latest news on South African athlete Caster Semenya, facing intense scrutiny over her gender identity.

And more! 

Sneak Peak for Next Week:  What's the attraction of lesbians to the vegetarian lifestyle?  Our guests include local vegetarian Susan Veraldi and Kara Holsopple from the East End Food Co-Op with great tips on how to be green, sustainable and healthy.

There's a guy who takes an evening bus to work to clean a City office building for a little more than minimum wage.  He's a little afraid since the evening hours are anticipated to be the most confrontational.  Since he's not a City employee or a unionized employee, he has no choice.  His fear makes me sad. 

I just don't understand why our City leaders seem so immune to the economic realities people are facing.  Will Bill Peduto or Dan Gilman suffer without two days pay?  Maybe a little bit, but I bet they can still pay for their housing and groceries. 

I want protestors' civil rights protected, but I'd also like to see some action on the livelihood of folks making less than $30,000/year who work downtown.  Will Jim Motznik talk with their landlords about being late on the rent?  Is Theresa Smith going to drop off some goceries?  Might Darlene Harris negotiate with Duquesne Light and Equitable Gas to waive usage charges for 48 hours? 

Sigh.
