Hey hey hey. Exciting news. We are officially sponsoring a film in the 2013 ReelQ Lesbian and Gay Pittsburgh Film Festival. Our film is showing Saturday, October 12, 7 PM at the Harris. The festival kicks-off Friday night (a movie about Divine) and wraps up the following Saturay with a really fun film about a […]
This from Sports Illustrated. The Penguins’ Evgeni Malkin, arguably the biggest star who is not yet on the record, managed to skirt the issue, saying he didn’t feel comfortable discussing the topic because English isn’t his primary language. It made for a lousy dodge. After all, it doesn’t take a nuanced understanding to say “Yes, […]
The first time I heard Mary Gauthier sing was on WYEP (shocker, huh?) a few years before I met Ledcat. The Louisiana connection caught me right away. I was struck by her stoic interview in contrast with her raw music and lyrics. Gauthier is coming to Pittsburgh on Wednesday September 25, performing at Club Cafe […]
So … guess what was found in the basement of the City-County Building? Yes, all of the Domestic Partner Registry affidavits. No copies kept anywhere else and they only went looking b/c someone (ahem) raised a stink. So now we have 16 days to complete the rest of the process. Things we’ve learned 1. Repositories […]
Labor Day was officially established by Congress in 1894. I’ve been thinking about its relevancy in today’s world – how does the FOP and the SEIU and Wal-Mart and UPMC tie together? So here are my thoughts on how Labor itself can help me understand. First, educate us. I’d love to attend a Labor […]
What a ridiculous question. How can you lose a registry? So a few days ago, we were informed that we have less than 5 weeks to comply with an “employee dependent verification” audit conducted by a third party contracted through the City (City Council and the Mayor approved of this, unanimously.) These audits are used […]
For a semi-lovely October Augut weekend, we had quite a nice time. Friday evening was super low-key as I was felled by my allergies and took a nap so we ended up watching “Orange is the New Black” and going to sleep early. Saturday was OUTrageous Bingo night. So off we went to Squirrel Hill for […]
Yesterday, I reported on the interesting (to me at least) situation of Facebook refusing my money to promote a pretty great picture of LGBTQ community leader, Rick Allison wearing a God Hates Jags shirt. I took the photo so I’m the best person to determine if its great, right? Facebook said “NO” and I filled […]
The folks at OutreachU, a local business supporting non-profits with tools for advocacy and outreach efforts, asked me to talk with them about the outreach successes in the LGBTQ community. Here’s my first video. To keep it “real” we were able to record the video in one of the offices at the Gay and Lesbian […]
