I haven't done a “what's up with me” update. I've been lacking motivation to walk/exercise. I still hung in and got three workouts a week in, but last week I slid down to two. So today, I got out for a 3 mile walk right after breakfast so there would be no excuses. I have […]
One thing I like to do with this blog is examine local media coverage of LGBTQ issues. Both the Post-Gazette and the Tribune Review provide some coverage but it is tilting more frequently to reprints of national pieces (Washington Post, New York Times, etc). While we get exposure, we miss the local perspective. At least […]
It was brought to my attention that Panera Bread allegedly blocks my blog because it falls into the category of pornography and nudity. I say allegedly because I haven't tried for myself, not because I doubt the veracity of the report. I appreciate the feedback and will be investigating. So I'm going to try hitting […]

Last year, I set up a little widget on Facebook for this blog. I use it to push stories that are most interesting or relevant. At the same time, I set up a fan page for my friend's beagle rescue. Fast forward to January 2011. I have 222 fans. The beagles have 1700+ fans. LOL. There's […]
This is from the latest issue of The Advocate. I'm trying to find out what the Pride Theater Festival is. I googled and found some events in past years, but nothing current. If anyone has a lead, let me know. Perhaps they meant PrideFest? Pittsburgh got the following score: Pittsburgh ranks very well in some local […]
Got a heads up from our friends at End Bigotry in Venango County about a press release from the American Family Association of Pennsylvania that narrows in on US Congressman Barney Frank. In general, they are commenting on the need for Congress to move right. I say “they” loosely because this is mostly about Diane […]
