Seriously. The GLCC is exploring a new program to provide safer sex educational tools and resources. This arose from a recent presentation to a class of medical students where it became apparent that the students were not familiar with certain sex toys, suggesting that they would not be in a position to educate their patients.

Today brought sad news to, well, me and many other individuals in the LGBTQ community. First, came word that one of the godfathers of Pittsburgh's modern queer community had passed away at the age of 60. Randy Forrester (I'll insert the obit when it is published tomorrow) has been hailed for man things: founding Persad […]
Well, he finally has something to say about attempts to amend the PA Constitution. “If I were in the state legislature, I would oppose it, Obama said.

Philadelphia's bar crawl was covered by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. I haven't seen anything about Pittsburgh's bar crawl. Did it even register? Is there any PA politician that could make a believable bar crawl […]
This is a good letter. When Obama starts his explanation on opposing gay marriage, he uses the phrase “I”m a Christian.” Is he fueling the myth that being gay and being Christian are mutually exclusive? This taps into my deep concern that the modern politician is forced into Christians versus LGBTQ community position. Guess who loses? […]
Melissa Etheridge is going to Philly, Reading and Columbus, Ohio, but not Pittsburgh. I hear she just doesn't sell well here. Very sad. Now that Melissa caught your eye, read on please. Equality Advocates PA wants to build on the great turnout of gays and gay allies to the Pittsburgh hearing on SB […]
800+ people have forwarded this information to me. Steel City Stonewall, the Gertrude Stein Club and Hillary Clinton for President are bringing back Queer as Folk to Liberty Avenue. There's a pub crawl Saturday night and a cocktail hour Sunday afternoon. Sharon Gless, Robert Gant and Michelle Clunie are the guests of honor. I have […]
