A message from longtime activist Jeanne Clark. Dear Friends, (please excuse the potty mouth – I'm too mad to be polite) Legislation in both DC and Harrisburg is moving that will put women's lives at risk. Cuts to all family planning funding. No abortion care in health insurance reform even if you pay it yourself. […]
Today was a good day. My friend Anne gifted me with a huge bag of gently used clothing. She's been following my weight loss saga and set aside items she thought I would like. It was very unexpected and very sweet. I have my eye on a plaid skirt for an upcoming date night. Now […]
I've always considered myself a compassionate person. From my days of campus service projects to my years in social service ministry right through my social work graduate degree to my various jobs, I always just took for granted that I had compassion for, well, everyone. It wasn't something I examined too closely and I rarely […]
I worked in City Council District 9 for nearly five years as a social worker, doing everything from financial literacy to recruiting foster parents. I worked on community projects, interacted with community leaders and watched East Liberty Station morph into The Village of Eastside.

From Lez Get Real, a tough to read post about bullying on college campuses. The Post-Gazette's Dennis Roddy makes an interesting career move. Bitch Media has the scoop on […]
There's an article in the Tribune Review referncing the decision of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church congregation to leave the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in favor of joining the North American Lutheran Church. The Evangelical Lutherans approve of ordaining gay ministers. Guess who doesn't? If you aren't familiar with the Scriptural battles over this […]
A nice editorial in the PG on the unacceptable plan to roll out the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell “slowly.” Delay will only foster uncertainty and resentment. Theoretically, gay servicemen and -women could still be dismissed under the old law while the new one is pending. The sooner this is completed, the better for […]
Information on this circulated on the gaydar yesterday. Thanks to LezGetReal for the video.
Does anyone else use LinkedIn.com? I joined a few years ago, but have found it newly compelling reading because of the livefeed of tweets and status updates. I'm not aware of any of my friends who have found a job this way, but it is lovely to have all of your information in one place. […]
