Openly gay, newly minted intern Daniel Hernandez is credited with saving the life (LezGetReal) of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords when she was shot Saturday in Tucson, Arizona. Hernandez is a Junior at the University of Arizona and a member of the City of Tucson’s Commission on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. Follow the link for […]
Tomorrow, I'll try to process. Tonight, I just want to remind you the our President, Barack Obama, has asked all of America to join in a moment of silence Monday at 11 AM to commemorate all of the victims of the violence in Tucson, the survivors and deceased alike. “Tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. eastern standard […]
I missed this in the Trib Review. To be fair, the online edition is unclear whether it is a local piece or a reprint (there's a byline and a tagline). But “he” takes a closer look at the pursuit of the institute of marriage for the LGBTQ community in the context of “anti-marriage” movements of […]
The PG Community Forum is beginning to grow on me. Today, we find another pro-equality letter to the editor from Attorney Bruce Wilder of Downtown. Short, sweet and to the point and with an affirming message for same sex parenting. On the issue of “majorities,” please note that anti-miscegenation laws were struck down by the […]
This is a shameful admission, but I've never made it to Voluto until this morning. I pride myself on not being neighborhood bound, but we just never made it over here. This morning, I had some time to spend while Ledcat went to another commitment so I popped in and was delightfully surprised and incredibly […]
A good piece from the City Paper on the development of a topical gel to reduce transmission, especially for anal penetration. Good to learn how much Pgh has invested in research. The article is much more succinct than I could be, but it is just important to remind ourselves that we cannot be passive when […]
My hair stylist, Susan Veraldi, owns and operates Veraldi Salon in Oakland. She just published her first book, Hair Peace which is available for sale. She also launched a blog, On The Fringe, which offers some pretty amusing insights into the daily life of a hair salon. I enjoy supporting a business that has been woman […]
Missed this in the Post-Gazette earlier in the week (I'd blame the search engine, but we've already been down that path). Like Mr. Franck, I was once the sort of earnest Christian whose judgment against sexual difference was formed according to what I thought were orthodox ideas about the Bible and Christian tradition. But I […]
I wrote this piece for Lez Get Real which includes the official statement from Chick-Fil-A corporate along with my analysis of what this whole sordid mess means for Pennsylvania. Thanks to Lez Get Real for the chance to bring a national audience to a regional/statewide issue. The story has gone viral and generated a lot […]
From Good As You comes word that “Chick-Fil-A” has been de-listed as a corporate sponsor for the Pennsylvania Family Institutes upcoming marriages workshops. No word on whether is just a scrub of the marketing materials or a change in plans. Good As You also turned me onto Chick-Fil-A tweets …. here's the most recent evidence […]
