Although I'm disappointed, I think you'll find his instances of siding-with-LGTQ crowd as interesting as you'll find his instances of declining-to-side-with-the-LGBTQ crowd. And you'll find I don't defend him in every instance -- I would just hate if he got put up there with the Focus on the Family and the other villains.

Something to note, though. Good blogging.

Oh, yes. He votes well on certain issues. It is the visibility that causes the problems, not the votes.

Reverend Burgess is not a villain, just evidence that we have work to do and how important it is not to take Pgh politics for granted.

Burgess voted against the domestic partnership registry.... just sayin

I'm not a big fan of the registry anyway. Ledcat hasn't had any word of it and she's a City employee paying for dp bennies. Two years? I think the homophobic City culture is a lot bigger than one Council member and there is a lot of work to be done. Yes, a perfect picture iin the Pride Guide would have been nice but might blind us to the deep issues.
