Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents is pleased to welcome our newest correspondent Shelly. We’ve known Shelly for several years — she is very active in the local LGBT community.

The Post-Gazette Editors have spoken — (emphasis mine) We applaud university President Graham Spanier for upping the penalty from the initially suggested and insultingly negligible one-game suspension to a $10,000 fine. Perhaps the punishment should have been more severe. Had she discriminated against a player on the basis of race or ethnicity, she'd likely […]
From Sunday's Post-Gazette, sports colunist Ron Cook calls for Rene Portland to be fired. What in the world is the Penn State administration thinking by allowing Portland to stay on as coach after its half-year internal investigation determined she created a “hostile, intimidating and offensive environment” for at least one of her players whom she […]
You know Rene Portland is not my favorite person. She is found guilty of discriminating against lesbians (or perceived lesbians) and Penn State gives her a little slap on the wrist.

Was a former Giants lineman denied access to the Super Bowl media center, game and parties because he is gay and HIV positive? The NFL says his sexual orientation and health status have nothing to do with it. Uh huh. Simmons, who played for the Giants from 1979-81 and Redskins in 1983, disclosed that […]
Big Gay Picture has a little update on anti-Rene Portland protests at Penn State women's basketball games … Here's a quote from Rene Portland that sums up the entire situation (and she is oblivious to the irony) “Can we just talk about basketball? You guys have tried for six goddamn months, excuse my language,” Portland […]
OK, disregard the trite football phrasology.. From our friends at Steel-City Stonewall Democrats, here's the skinny from social conservative Lynn Swann on gay marriage … Drum roll … while marriage is between a man and a woman, he does think private contracts should take care of us queers. With no governmental protections. Now for my […]
