Pgh Lesbian Correspondents

I hate poor customer service. Giant Eagle Mcintyre Square was horrible two weeks ago. I used the little form at the website to explain my displeasure. Two weeks later, nothing. If customer service doesn't respond to a customer service complaint well, I guess buiness must be good. Today, Ledcat and I tried to refill 2 […]

Always glad when the PG picks up gay-positive news. Homos are now legally getting married in Vermont.  Reports that 18 Christo-bigots swooned and rumors that 11 marriages have been irreparably damaged after witnessing married gay people kissing.  Registries are booming.  Good stuff.  Hello economic gain.  Pam's Lurleen has the story, too. **************************************** Two days of […]

September 2009 marks my debut article with Cue Pittsburgh, the region's newest LGBT publication.  A glossy magazine (think Whirl with more tiaras, fewer furs), Cue's success shows that Pittsburgh's community really is expanding in multiple directions.  I was asked to pen a piece about local florist and gourmet gift entrepreneur, K.S. Kennedy.  You've read my […]

It is called “sister shOUT!” and will be a mix of queer women's news, album and social media reviews, updates on events and activities as well as a whole […]

From the PG obiturary: Mr. Frankel, the legislative director for the Pennsylvania American Civil Liberties Union from 1992 through 2008, died last week. His body was found Friday on a […]

I brought this to your attention a year ago when Brian Prowel appealed a federal court anti-discrimination ruling that determined what he had experienced in his workplace was based on his sexual orientation, not gender stereotyping. Yesterday, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision and will allow Mr. Prowel to make his […]

Tune into OutOnline's Pridecast this weekend where I'll be sitting in with host Jason Lucarelli to bring a lesbian perspective to the show.  I'm planning to delve into the controversy surround South African female runner, Caster Semenya, who is being forced to undergo gender testing in the wake of accusations that she is, in fact, […]

The march on Friday 25 has not received permit. They appreciate commitment but need permit Believe they should get to one block away from Convention Center. ******************************* Sue Kerr Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents www.pghlesbian.com Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Teamsters showed up chanting because they are mad about Jim Ferlo. They cheered on the labor speakers and headed inside to look for Jim. “We are part of the City of Pittsburgh,” says a soccer mom. They want public meetings with feds to announce plans. They are in place but just withholding information. This promotes […]

I am lurking around picking up juicy tidbits. Caught Doug Shields on his way in to meet with Public Safety Director, Michael Huss. So he stopped to give KDKA an interview. He assures civil rights will be balanced with public safety. He also claims police are there to protect the G20 folks not crack down […]
