Friday marks five years for us. Celebrate with us! Anniversaries can be tricky when you are in a relationship that has no legal status. There's the day we met, our first date, our first kiss, the day we became exclusive, the day we moved in together, or even the day we had our domestic partnership […]
City Council approved plans to create a domestic partner registry 7-1. Now we await the Mayor's signature. Here's the full PG story. On a personal note, Ledcat and I are one of five same-sex couples receiving domestic partner benefits through the City. Five. That underwhelms me. Five. Seriously? That would seem to warrant a second […]
I have been informed that individuals invited to the LGBT luncheon with Luke Ravenstahl are not being required to make a campaign contribution. They are invited to do so, as their discretion. I don't know all the ins and outs of these sort of invitations, so I'm going to take this information at its word. […]

What I cannot do for you, dear readers, is clarify if Mayor Ravenstahl has had a “Come to Jesus” […]
This is really long, but read to the end for the outcomes. First, here are the Steel-City endorsements and here are those of the Gertrude Stein Club. Tonight Ledcat and I scurried home to let the dogs out and head over to Shadyside for an historic meeting — the first ever LGBT forum sponsored by […]
Just received this announcement about an upcoming event sponsored by the Allegheny County Democratic Committee. Hmmm … here's my initial reaction. First, while well intentioned, I think focusing on “issues of concern” puts a bit of a negative spin on the dialogue. We aren't necessarily going to show up to whine. Perhaps just GLBT Issues […]
