Stuff is going on . From Pam's House Blend …more on the role of the Human Rights Campaign and the repeal of DADT. Things are a bit strained. Sheesh. While admin officials say repeal is the way to go, the DOJ files briefs in legal cases. Ahhhh. LGBT Point of View thinks Code Pink has […]
The Steel City Stonewall Endorsement meeting was held Sunday afternoon on the Northshore. For a glimpse into “live” coverage, check out the hashtag PghGayPick. I was a little caught up in the 140 character frenzy because I wrote most of these tweets and can't interpret a few of them 🙂 Kudos to tweeps @Bram_R and @Maria_In_Pgh (who […]
The Steel City Stonewall Endorsement meeting is here, today and I'm pretty excited. How fare we've come since I was the lone blogger reporting from last year's event. This year we'll have a variety of instantaneous feedback via the various tweeps planning to attend (hashtag #PghGayPick) along with the usual bloggers. What's most exciting is […]

I have done you all a great disservice on this topic. Someone I trusted told me that Pittsburgh City Council never took a vote on domestic partner benefits and I took that person at their word. I went with the assumption that Onorato has never cast a vote on LGBT issues. I should have done my […]
I had never heard of him. I began following him on Twitter simply because he's a PA elected official. He's a somewhat frequent tweeter so he began catching my attention. Here's his website. Last night, he made a comment Speaker Pelosi that caught my attention: So I retweeted questioning if this is the kind of […]
Tonight, Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato addressed the Liberty City Democratic Club in Philadelphia (their chapter of Stonewall Democrats). A member asked him about the lack of domestic partner benefits in Allegheny County. This is what he reportedly said: He said that he's convened a commission and that he told the head of that […]
