I spoke with a representative from the Pirates today who tactfully told me that a breakdown in communication blocked the 2008 event, but plans are well underway to organize an official Pride Night during June of 2009. He was very candid about wanting to connect with LGBT baseball fans. Officials from the local Pridefest organizing […]
HB 300 is making decent progress. By the slimmest of margins, a House panel has approved Rep. Dan Frankel's bill to ban discrimination in housing and jobs against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. The State Government Committee voted today by a margin of 12 to 11 — Democrats in favor and Republicans opposed — […]
“Simple fairness,” proclaim the editors of the Post-Gazette in their somewhat disappointing endorsement for the statewide bill. I expected to see a bit of a mention that this legislation does not pit gay rights versus religious rights, a very necessary caveat since the Post-Gazette's coverage of similar legislation on the County level did not really […]

We apologize for that.” I cannot verify this as the apology does not appear to be published […]
Just a simple FYI. Tune into WAMO 860 AM at 5 PM Monday afternoon for the return of the Lynn Cullen show.
The Post-Gazette is reporting that State Representative Dan Frankel has introduced legislation to expand civil protections to include the LGBTQ community across the state. He's built up a stronger base of support so things look possible this time around.
Netroots Nation is coming to Pittsburgh August 13-16, 2009. Here's the call for proposals. In the next 12 months, we'll be working together more than ever to push progressive policy into legislation.

Let me just say this. If HB 300 becomes law and our community gains statewide civil protections in the areas of housing, employment and public accomodation, it will be a good thing.
