If you use the Google blog search on the federal legislation known as ENDA (Employment Non Discrimination Act), you'll see a fair amount of information, outrage and distortion of facts on all sides of the debate. The truth is that there is a very real opportunity to pass federal legislation that would protect gay Americans […]
It is the second thing people ask me after making the requisite joke about her hair/makeup. Frankly, I'm amazed (read: disappointed) at how catty us feminists can be when it comes to the appearances of women who are Republican. But I digress. I don't care if Jane Orie is a lesbian. Stop foisting the unappealing […]
Quite a disturing tale from Mississippi …. you remember Constance McMillen who just wanted to take her girlfriend to the prom. Then came outrage, banishment, the ACLU, court cases, media frenzy … and a fake prom. Yes, the senior class held a “private prom” and sent Constance, her date and five special needs children to […]
I mean really … from Philly.com Gov. Rendell was among at least 30 governors to receive a letter this week from an extremist antigovernment group demanding that he resign or face being “removed from office,” according to officials in the Philadelphia office of the FBI. Rendell received the letter within the last 48 hours and […]

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 […]
This is what caught my eye this morning … The military thinks we are stupid enough to accept a faux-relaxing of policies in lieu of real reform on Don't Ask, Don't Tell. You still aren't supposed to tell, but now if a third party tells on you — they aren't so quick to take action. […]
Joe Hoeffel for Governor
