My name is Sue Kerr and I plan to keep on blogging. I know, I know. This comes as a great shock and will undoubtably send tidal waves plowing through the Burghosphere.

Wow. Big 24 hours. My story about Diane Gramley and the Allegheny County Anti-Discrimination Legislation was picked up by several national sites and my domain expires! Can you believe that luck? My “guy” is on it, though. And thanks to all of my wonderful blogging friends in Pittsburgh who sent me assorted “creative” messages informing […]

Diane Gramley, self-proclaimed spokesperson of the Pennsylvania hatefest known as the AFA and resident of Venango County, is bringing her show on the road to Allegheny County in Southwestern Pennsylvania to challenge legislation that would prohibit discrimination on the basis of classes including sexual orientation, gender identity and gender […]
I received word that three members of Allegheny County Council have withdrawn their support of the legislation that would extend anti-discrimination protections on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender presentation. You can bet the rightwing and the AFA of PA are getting people to make calls and had something to do with […]
