c/p at Pam's House Blend Surprise! Diane Gramley, self-proclaimed spokesperson of the Pennsylvania hatefest known as the AFA and resident of Venango County, is bringing her show on the road to Allegheny County in Southwestern Pennsylvania to challenge legislation that would prohibit discrimination on the basis of classes including sexual orientation, gender identity and gender […]
This came into my box today. How creative! What better way to do this than to raise $9,999.99 in support of Wingspan's work in the coming year, while sending a message directly to Mr. Stock that this money was raised because of his support for anti-LGBT ballot measures. If you make an online donation of […]
Clay Aiken came out. On the cover of People magazine. I know a lot of folks are rolling their eyes, but I've been thinking about all those middle aged ladies who like to listen to Clay. People tend to idealize their cultural heros, so I'm suspecting a lot of “Christian” wimmin are spinning him from scary […]
Solzhenitsyn died at age 89. Here's the AP obituary. I first read his novel “A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” when I was a 17 year old high school senior and it rocked my world. I had no clue about the larger connection to the Gulag and the Soviet Union or any other […]
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?

Proud papa Edward Walkowski of Brookline simply wants his lesbian daughter and her partner to have equal rights. Edward recognizes the true political agenda of the Amendment supporters: The political leaders pushing this amendment are […]
Today brought sad news to, well, me and many other individuals in the LGBTQ community. First, came word that one of the godfathers of Pittsburgh's modern queer community had passed away at the age of 60. Randy Forrester (I'll insert the obit when it is published tomorrow) has been hailed for man things: founding Persad […]
It is completely true. My innocent little email was rejected by the Steel City Media cyber guardians. I just wanted to ask Chris Potter a question. Rest assured, Potter was on it once I made the call. And once it became apparent that someone in marketing couldn't email her boyfriend … well, he was on […]
My good friend Cat Specter has photoshopped herself from girl-next-door-in-jaunty-beret to come-hither-girl-in-jaunty-beret. It is like watching Betty Crocker's image change in fast-forward. Sigh. Her obsession with the 'go girl attitude' has mellowed a bit, but she still comes across as a woman trying to hard to be relevant, witty and wise without breaking a nail. […]
Well, I am the suckiest lesbian correspondent ever. It is five hours post Luke/homo meeting and not a single one of my contacts has, well, contacted me. Meanwhile over at The Burgh Report, the Burgher has the scoop … wait for it … Luke now supports civil unions. Apparently, he was confused by the question. […]
