As per usual Americana, we “celebrated” the holiday by breakfasting at a local eatery (yes, Hoi Polloi) and then going retail at Staples, Target, Best Buy and Giant Eagle. I tried to muster up some sympathy for laborers, but the customer service experiences at the Cedar Avenue Giant Eagle are very trying.  Sigh.  When it comes […]

The debut episode just aired to viewers of GayLifeTV and OutOnline.  The “official” Sister ShOUT page will be up in a few days so you can see the podcast.  It was a lot of fun and thanks to a very organized team, pretty smoothy.  Smoothiness. 🙂  I have a few links for you. Queer Events […]

Last night, Ledcat and I met with our producer – David from Gay Life TV and OutOnline.com.  We made some slight adjustments to the show — launch time is now 7 PM, instead of 6:30 PM (make a note!).  He gave us some background into the foray into gay online television and we ran down […]

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 […]

Its all the buzz at Lesbian Central — Ledcat and I are launching a VODcast (videocast) this coming weekend in partnership with OUTonline and GayLife TV. 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 […]

This weekend brings sad news to the LGBTQ community among many others as we learned of the death of long time ACLU advocate, Larry Frankel. 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, […]
