GLBT Insurance, Employment Protections and Advocacy Frustrations
I promised myself that I would not be blogging politically for the foreseeable future b/c my frustration with the state of LGBT advocacy in Western Pennsylvania is just off the scale. I have little objectivity b/c it is my actual life and livelihood and living conditions that have been cast aside in favor of bigger […]
Final Update on PA’s so-called Marriage Protection Amendment
Final nail in the coffin. For this round. Courtesy of Equality Advocates: The Pennsylvania legislature adjourned for its summer recess in the first week of July without any further action on the proposed Constitutional amendment, SB 1250. The legislation attempted to prohibit legal recognition of non-marital relationships in Pennsylvania including marriages of same-sex couples and […]
A little bit more on the GLCC
So I asked Vice-Chair, Kat Carrick, how the everyday Pittsburgh queer can help with the relocation of the GLCC. Rest assured the organization has been working for many months on this very issue — we all know they've planned to move even if we weren't aware of the impendingness of the whole situation.

He closes Lawrenceville Giant Eagle and now plans to run North Side Giant Eagle?
Giant Eagle entrepreneur Bill Bricker is quite the guy. He is closing the Giant Eagle in Lawrenceville because it isn't profitable and has purchased our corporate owned store on the North Side. Huh? The North Side store had to cost a pretty penny b/c corporate has invested a ton of money to make it well, […]
Good doggies!
Tonight, Ledcat and I moseyed up to Riverview Park for the first lesson in our outdoor dog training class. The goal is to help dogs learn to deal with distractions in public places. Since Xander and Deus are big scary dogs that bark at sources of fear, it seemed like a good idea. The class […]
