If you know me or you’ve been reading my blog regularly for the past 18 years, this will not surprise you. It was in 2007 that I first mentioned the appeal of Michael Lamb in this role. I do not always endorse. Please read on. My blog’s history with Mike Lamb goes back to the […]
Our previous update was in late February 2023. We’ve now published a total of 22 completed Q&As. In total, we connected with 32 candidates. Of those remaining, 1 has withdrawn, 1 won their special election, leaving 8 to get back to us. Of course, we are still willing to create Q&A’s for other candidates in […]
To date, Mike Lamb is the first and only candidate for County Chief Executive to respond to this Q&A. Others have requested, but not returned a completed Q&A yet. Make of that what you will. Housing is the most basic of human needs and rights. Affordable housing needs to be a priority for our next […]
Good, LGBTQ positive information for the May primary.

Council district 7 Nicholas Futules (D) Allegheny Co. Council district […]

One gay supporter confirmed the existance of the commission, but could not name its members. So I’ve tried another round of contacts with the […]
So, heck yeah, I’m still a little sore. Thanks for asking. I actually did pretty well until my last trip down the narrow flight of stairs at work. Thankfully, my wrists and fingers are fine so I can blog away. How about someone saw my Twitter updates about the Steel City Dems endorsement meeting and asked […]
It has been a tumultuous week here at Lesbian Central. Backstage drama, frontpage drama, workplace drama and I think I burned the back of my throat swallowing thai tea to be polite while waiting for my takeout. The ordinance is losing steam, my friends. We lost another co-sponsor, Bob Macy from my hometown area of […]
FURTHER UPDATE: If you wonder why campaign contributions matter, check out this PG article on the connection between contributions and City contracts. Transparency, my friends. Michael Lamb gets transparency. ************************************************************************************ UPDATE: In response to some community outrage (after 10 minutes), let me be clear that I am not suggesting any specific improprieties on the part […]
The Dyke March. Was. Awesome. I was very impressed with how well the ladies pulled off a switch from Oakland to the Downtown area. From our vantage, the event was smooth and made quite an impact on the multitude of downtowners watching us march past. I think the switch was good and added more visibility […]
