I've created a Twitter “list” of Pgh regional and statewide elected officials and politicians using Twitter. You can find it here: http://twitter.com/PghLesbian24/politicians-pgh-and-pa So far, I've identified 53 pol-tweeps. The vast majority are members of the State House of Representatives. From Pittsburgh, the pickings are a bit slim. You can find Pgh City Councilmembers (and members-elect) […]
The PG's Karamagi Rujumba took a well-placed stab at explaining the complicated Human Relations ordinance due for a vote tonight before the Allegheny County Council. Best of all, he quotes a person of faith who isn't a bigot. My apologies to the bigots out there who missed the opportunity to spew the hatred, but your […]
UPDATE: New information has been coming in from various sources. Allegedly, Drozd and Macy are not going to vote for this. Finnerty is a maybe (412) 350-6540 mfinnerty@alleghenycounty.us. He represents District 4 (Crafton, Robinson, Bridgeville, McKees Rocks). Also, another member of County Council may be threatening not to show up which could derail a majority. […]
My head has been spinning. In between trying to get some work done, I was flipping through my Blackberry to keep up with the breaking news on federal events. The LGBTQ community is getting mightily angry with the Obama administration and it looks as if, as Pam Spaulding puts it, the queer ATM might be […]
So, heck yeah, I’m still a little sore. Thanks for asking. I actually did pretty well until my last trip down the narrow flight of stairs at work. Thankfully, my wrists and fingers are fine so I can blog away. How about someone saw my Twitter updates about the Steel City Dems endorsement meeting and asked […]
It is important that you stay in the loop to keep the pressure on our County Council to pass a good version of this ordinance. You know the turnout for the hearing was good. You know that the ordinance was referred back to committee for further consideration and no date has been set for a […]
I am disappointed. It has been more than 72 hours since John Eichelberger of the Pennsylvania State Senate uttered his hateful comment that he is “allowing” gay persons to exist. Everyone knows. This hits to my blog post and the one at 2 Political Junkies are filled with visitors from all sorts of chambers and governmental […]
Remarks before Allegheny County Council by PittsburghCity Councilman Bruce A. Kraus regarding Bill 4201-08 *********************************************************************** Good afternoon and thank you for providing me this platform to address you on this most critical issue of equal rights for all, and special rights for none. I would like to begin my testimony by thanking my Councilwoman, and […]
It is twenty minutes past 8:00 PM. Adam says the room is half full. Interesting. I can add some commentary here. It appears the pro-ordinance folks really outnumber the anti-folks. Here are some thoughts from Adam. Loads of people out in support. Also loads out against. Of those opposed 98% made purely religious arguments. It […]
Patricia Weaver Pa family institute. Against! Consequences. Religious schools might not be able to discominate. Photographers might not be able to discriminate. Physicians might not be able to discriminate. Catholics might not be able to discriminate. Also, I'm now going to mischaracterize the law and break the 9th commandment. <Diane Gramley and Tony Perkins kin. […]
