Iraq and Shield: City Papers Homos It Up This Week

Iraq and Shield:  City Papers Homos It Up This Week

I love when there's good gay stuff in the City Paper.  It reminds me that journalists with actual journalistic street cred pay attention to our community and find us interesting and informative. I fully expected the paper to cover Doug Shields' showdown with Sally Kerns. I was kinda disappointed they gave Diane Gramley so many […]

PA Senate Judiciary Committee Votes OK on Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment

PA Senate Judiciary Committee Votes OK on Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment

Well, we lost this round.  Our local allies, Jay Costa and Wayne Fontana, voted no, but even with Republican Jane Earll they couldn't prevent the “marriage protection” amendment from being voted out of committee.  The legislation heads for the Appropriations Committee and then to the floor of the full Senate. Here's how the vote went down.  […]

I just had to share these two videos.  First, Ellen calls out Sally Kern for her comments.  Then, Ellen and Wanda Sykes (who i l-o-v-e) have a little chat.  Enjoy!    

Why an Anti-gay State Rep from Oklahoma matters to your average Pittsburgh Homo

Why an Anti-gay State Rep from Oklahoma matters to your average Pittsburgh Homo

You've probably heard the story.  2 Political Junkies broke it here in the Burghosphere.  To sum it up, Oklahoma Republican and State Rep Sally Kern made some inflammatory comments before a GOP audience, including the rather silly claim that homosexuals have taken over Pittsburgh City Government.   The rest of her comments are the same outrageous […]

Pittsburgh Gay Democrats Endorse Hillary Clinton

Pittsburgh Gay Democrats Endorse Hillary Clinton

Steel City Stonewall Democrats have endorsed Hillary Clinton for President.  (That link won't be good forever — Steel City doesn't archive their “news” very effectively.)  Interestingly, the group includes a list of LGBT issues that paint Clinton and Obama pretty much neck and neck. So how did Hillary come out ahead?  What is it about Hillary […]

Cattivo and Dozen Bake Shop — Lesbians on the Town

Saturday night, we finally had a chance to stop by Cattivo for some conversation and dinner with our friends, Emilia and Jessi.  We braved the weather and headed for Lawrenceville where we were early enough to snag a good parking spot.  Cattivo is a fine place for a bar.  It was clean and the service […]
