I took a stroll around the auction. I'm awed by some of the artwork. A painting called “Dell's” caught my eye, but I didn't catch who created it. I think Persad is awsome and amazing. I donate to them through the United Way each year. I refer many, many people there for all sorts of […]
For the second year in a row, we are live blogging from Celebrate Life, Celebrate Art — Persad's annual art auction and reception. This is the final year the event will be held at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Oakland due to renovations at the museum. Next year they may be at the August […]
Just made my first visit to Police HQ. They have a silly little machine to gain entrance and not-so-loveable curmudgeon at the gate. He started the hell out of me by looming over while I was waiting for someone — anyone — to answer my button pushing. Not a good start. I almost dropped by Blackberry […]
President Obama will today nominate Elena Kagan to fill the impending vacancy on the Supreme Court. She has a bit of history with DADT that's worth reading about. More later.
It was nice to post “hey, I got an award” yesterday, but when I took a peek through the google searches I had a humbling reminder LGBT blogs are important … “lesbian support in Pittsburgh” “help for runaway gay kids” “lesbian support groups” “make lesbian friends in Pittsburgh” “gay partner abuse” I hope they found answers.
I was tremendously tickled to learn that the readers of the Keystone Alliance/Gaylife Newsletter have voted me “Lesbian of the Year” for 2010. I am in the company of my great colleagues and friends, including: So who are these fine folks? Together, The Keystone Alliance/GayLife Newsletter is a Multi-State, National Gay Organization. We raise […]
Saturday AM, the Arlen Specter campaign hosted an LGBT reception in Shadyside. Ledcat and I stopped by. We had a delightful conversation with Lt. Governor candidate Jonathan Saidal (read about him here) who is a bright, witty man. Put him in a room with State Senator Daylin Leach and you'd have a pretty erudite room […]
Ledcat and I are thrilled to have been invited back to live blog the fantastic “Celebrate Life, Celebrate Art” auction to benefit Persad Center. We had a lot of fun last year. It was an honor to be invited back and this year we'll incorporate live tweeting @PghLesbian24 and @Ledcat. And don't forget to support […]
and the PG has the story. Labor history is fascinating. Glad to see we'll get more labor herstory, too.
This was a lovely little piece to read this morning when I cracked open the Post-Gazette. A mother reflects on her reaction to her daughter's coming out …. not simply on how it made her (mom) feel, but what her (mom's) response meant for her daughter. The parent of a gay child can lose that child in […]
