Bil at Bilerico has a great write up on this annual battle. Yes, the Salvation Army does good work. But so do the Boy Scouts. Both openly discriminate against LGBTQ children and adults, including employees. Since 1986 the Salvation Army has engaged in five major assaults on the LGBT community’s civil rights and attempted to […]
Thursday, December 1, 2011 marks World AIDS Day World AIDS Day is held on 1 December each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever […]
Interactions between members of the LGBTQ community and the Pittsburgh Police can be fraught with complexity, whether it be a domestic call or sorting out the potential for what would be classified as a hate crime. Let me state here that crimes based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression are not recognized as […]
Complacency about HIV and AIDS will prove deadly. Wednesday December 1 is World AIDS Day and Pittsburgh groups are banding together to ensure the region does not take a sigh of relief on this issue. People are still dying. People are living with medical advancements, but face barriers to the lives we take for granted. […]

It was an honor to be invited back and this year we'll incorporate live tweeting @PghLesbian24 and @Ledcat. And don't forget to support […]
The Post-Gazette has a lovely description of a (somewhat) authentic Hungarian wedding which took place in Duquesne over the weekend at the Hungarian Reformed Church. The bride's brother is a member of the LGBT community who recently relocated out of state. Here's the interesting part: Church leaders said they are hoping that groups not ordinarily […]
The news for LGBT youth in Tel Aviv is atrocious. During a gathering of LGBT youth, a shooting has killed three people. Be thankful for the work of the GLCC, Persad and GLSEN to create safe spaces for our youth. Just imagine discovering your child identifies as queer in the midst of this carnage. So sad. […]
