Today's Post-Gazette has an interesting piece by a former intern about his identity as a Muslim-American. I've been thinking a bit as to how it might feel to be a Muslim in the United States TODAY and realize we've made almost no progress in terms of our religious bigotry and prejudice since September 2001. I have […]
Eh. http://www.pamshouseblend.com/diary/17195/the-politically-informed-attendees-at-glenn-becks-rally Scary stuff.
This is good news. Under PennDOT's old policy, to change the gender on their licenses or state ID cards, people had to prove they had sexual reassignment surgery.

Dan has also been an advocate for the LGBT community. He was in Pittsburgh courtesy of the Delta Foundation in […]
Last night, Ledcat and I caught the opening of “The Kids Are Allright,” the film about the kids of a lesbian couple seeking out their sperm donor. The movie was well made and much more about relationships with this one happening to be lesbian, than a lesbian movie. Annette Benning and Julianne Moore star and how […]
You may have heard by now of a recent incident where a local gay man was assaulted while waiting for a bus. The community responded with two rallies and a lot of discussion about interaction between the LGBT community and the police. This is an age old debate that requires self-examination on both sides and that […]
