Lots of LGBTQ love from the City Paper. I know the man called Potter loves a letter to the editor and he has one today from Steel City Stonewall President, Dana Elmendorf. She believes the paper unfairly described Onorato's LGBTQ support. Potter disagrees. Go read for yourself. Speaking of Bloomfield, the City Paper provided coverage […]
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. […]
Marriage equality dealt another blow in New Jersey when the NJ Senate votes down the bill. Please, please don't let this issue drive PA in 2010. Please. The Mayor plans to introduce rules which would expand his “zero tolerance” approach to domestic violence to the entire City workforce, not just the police. One of my main […]
Found this on the Post-Gazette website: A hidden bias comes to light Social psychologists Hartmut Blank and Amy Hendren at the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom set up an experiment in which 240 people were approached on the street and asked if they could spare 10 pence for a parking meter. In some […]
I can't remember exactly when I started reading Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents but it couldn't have been too long after its inception because I had already added it to 2 Political Junkies' blogroll just a little over three months from its birth. So why did we choose to add a blog that centered on LGBT issues […]
Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents blog for a trail blazing fourth year anniversary on the Pittsburgh blogosphere! I am humbled and truly honored to provide my perspective on Sue Kerr and her blog's dramatic impact on our community and our continued battle for greater equality. Many of you may know me as the Independent […]
Well, well, well. It has been quite a week for us here at Lesbian Central as we get ready to celebrate our 4th anniversary on Tuesday. First, the always surprising Mr. Potter singled out our blog and Maria of 2 Political Junkies for “shout outs” of sorts in his Christmas Eve summary of gifts he's […]
Man, am I in trouble. In between the festivities, I spent time on the phone and email trying to verify the KDKA report on Hlavac on which I reported yesterday. No other media outlet picked up the story which has led a few folks to ask me if I accurately reported on the KDKA story. […]
Women in Pittsburgh are rightfully angered by the Ravenstahl Administration's bumbling on the domestic violence charges against Sgt Eugene Hlavac who stands accused of a charge of simple assault for punching his ex-girlfriend in the face hard enough to dislocate her jaw. In 2007, Ravenstahl and his team of top brass pledged a zero-tolerance policy […]
Ah, the price we citizens pay for the might of the FOP. Sgt Hlavac is in the news again for dislocating the jaw of his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child. He claims he was defending himself. Hmmm. Potter at the City Paper. After outrage greeted Hlavac's promotions, Ravenstahl pledged that a new domestic-violence […]
