Word on the street is that this week's meeting of the Allegheny County Human Relations Commission should include a report from the County Personnel Department on health insurance options from the County's vendor. That should be a positive step forward. At the very least, Chief Executive Dan Onorato will have a clear plan on how […]
I have to give Ron Razete of Peace, Love and Little Donuts credit. His anti-gay bigotry was on display in the Post-Gazette, the Pgh City Paper, national blogs and the Urban Spoon and he didn't miss beat nor repent a single vile word he spewed. What did he say? Here are some excerpts from his now […]
Senator Arlen Specter invites our community to meet with him. He's having a private meeting with a few LGBTQ leaders and then a reception open to the general public. Sadly, media are not invited to the private meeting. The good thing is that they consider bloggers media so all four of us can pat ourselves […]
Hey, I know I've told you about this before … but I'm trying very hard to keep current a Twitter list of local and statewide politicians. This is a most excellent way to observe the politicians in their natural habitat! LOL. Seriously, such a great way to see what matters to them and make some […]
We like to keep up with local media coverage on LGBTQ issues, but things occasionally slip by us. The Tribune Review ran a little AP piece on world condemnation of a Papal comment linking homosexuality and pedophilia. “Many psychologists and psychiatrists have demonstrated that there is no relation between celibacy and pedophilia,” the Italian cardinal […]
If you have been sort of “meh” about immigration <ahem> reform in Arizona and/or international affairs that don't involve sporting events, you should take a quick read of this piece in today's Post-Gazette, reprinted from the New York Times. Not only is Uganda attempting to make gay advocacy illegal and potentially punish gay people with […]
Which words strike you from my posts? I used www.wordle.net to generate a one time snapshot of my most frequently used words. What do you think?
Keeping up with “breaking” news on an significant legislative issue is tough, but we don't have the luxury of overlooking the big picture, especially when there is an intersection with federal and state/local issues. There are two pressing federal issues -the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) and the passage of the Employment Nondiscriminaton […]
TMZ beat People magazine to the punch with the disclosure that country music's Chely Wright plans to come out this week as a lesbian. The 39-year-old singer scored a #1 country song back in 1999 with “Single White Female,” when she was named Academy of Country Music new artist of the year. Wright is the […]
Reports from the blogosphere indicate the White House may be trying to stall Congressional repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. OK, let me try to summarize this …. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates issued a letter vaguely warning Congress NOT to include repeal of DADT in the military appropriations bill because they need to keep […]
