Tons of blog posts in the queersosphere about the highlights of 2011 for the LGBTQ community. Let’s start with a list from Mara Keisling, Executive Direct of The National Center for Transgender Equality. These are 14 Reasons that Made 2011 Great for Trans People. The list includes at least 19 municipal/state actions that protect trans […]
This is just too good/bad for anything other than a direct quote. The candidates for Chief Executive from both parties were meeting with the Executive Women's Council of Greater Pittsburgh yesterday. Let's set aside whether they were addressing ladies, women or girls. Actually, let's not. What kind of campaigh staff doesn't review this with a […]
A few days ago, Ginny Montanez came out as a Republican on her very popular blog, That's Church. But this Sunday while reading an article about the Port Authority service cuts that went into effect today, I was first shocked to see the 67J was cut, because I assumed that was a pretty profitable and […]
LGBT champion, State Representative Dan Frankel penned a letter to the Post-Gazette urging Western Pennsylvania to support Onorato because he's the better choice on LGBT issues. The cruz of his arguement is that Corbett thinks existing anti-discrimination protections on the statewide level are fine and has no intention of expanding them. Onorato has stated he […]
Step back, naysayers. It appears we have a race. According to poll data released today, Sestak LEADS the race, 46-45. You can put Pennsylvania Senate back in the toss up category. Joe Sestak leads Pat Toomey 46-45 in our newest poll of the race, erasing the 9 point deficit he had in an August PPP […]
The PG has it here. The Senate on Thursday approved a multibillion-dollar package of tax breaks and government-backed loans for small businesses, as Democrats sought to use the muscle of their majorities to pursue a congressional agenda that would make their case for retaining House and Senate control this fall. After surmounting months of Republican […]
Addendum: This is irony. There is no such thing as a swipe button. I officially think we should elect Dan Onorato as Governor. He has my blessing. (Also irony in case that doesn't translate from written word.)
What a tough year for Joe Sestak and Dan Onorato. Philly and Pittsburgh Pride are on the same days. Onorato made the good call to attend Pittsburgh's event, but Sestak is in Philly. Sestak is sending a surrogate to Pgh, but I think it might speak volumes as to whom he sends. As I said […]
You know I love the man called Potter. His awesomeness is exceeded only by his 27 Facebook fans. 😉 Still, he recently gave some pinkwashing props to the Onorato campaign that made me sigh. From Slagheap: In other news, you may have already known this– word went out a couple days ago — but county […]
The City Paper's own Lauren Daley was front and center at the very first meeting of the Allegheny County Human Relations Commission. Sadly, the 8 AM start meant I had to be at work and could not be part of this historic moment. However, the man called Potter has the scoop over at Slagheap. Front and […]
