Buried not on the front page comes news that Allegheny County Councilwoman Joan Cleary has resigned her seat with no explanation. Her replacement will be selected by the Dems on the Council and will include someone from Baldwin, Brentwood, Castle Shannon, Clairton, Jefferson Hills, Pleasant Hills, South Park, West Elizabeth, and Whitehall. Cleary was chair […]
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 […]
From Congress.org comes this insightful analysis on what the looming failure to repeal DADT says about activism within the national LGBTQ community. The grassroots folks are calling for more accountability from Gay, Inc. perhaps to form a more cohesive and inclusive strategy to getting *something* accomplished? Personally, I think stripping away the veneer of cooperation […]
Here it is: WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is chipping away at his long list of promises to gay voters but has yet to earn the full-throated backing of the reliably Democratic voting bloc. The Obama White House has accomplished more than any other on gay rights, yet has drawn sharp criticism from an unexpected […]
This was one of my favorite LGBTQ events of all time. It was joyful, fierce, unified and humbling to wind our way through Bloomfield yesterday afternoon. The event kicked off with a call to action from Dykes on Bikes founder, Miranda Vey. She uses the term “queer patriot” to describe the power within dykes and other […]

I saw this a few days ago on Facebook, but lost track of time posting. It was picked up by the Post-Gazette. We are all confused, meanwhile, about a state legislative race in Philadelphia, where one candidate has “outed” the other as straight. The incumbent, Rep. Babette Josephs, says her challenger in the Democratic primary, […]
Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 5, 2010 which will be the date of Pittsburgh's 5th Annual Dyke March. The location will still be in Oakland and organizers have fabulous plans for the ultimate grassroots picnic (get it?) and post-march party. What's is a dyke march? Dyke March is a mostly lesbian-led and inclusive gathering […]
Did I mention that Democracy for Pittsburgh has endorsed Joe Hoeffel? It is very interesting to read their rules for voting. You have to have been to two DFP meetups or attended two events since February 2009 (within the last year). I think that's a very reasonable way to avoid the endorsement vote being packed by […]
The boys decided they really had to visit the backyard at 6:30 AM so up I got. Now I'm coffee'd up and had the wonderful joy of listening to my neighbor laying on her horn for ten minutes to get her kids out of the door. Which brings me to the number one topic of […]
