Go in Guns Blazing, HR 3071

Yesterday, The Bilerico Project asked people to bombard House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office with requests to more forward on House Resolution 3017 (aka. HR 3017 or ENDA). This bill would effectively end workplace discrimination of gays and lesbians. Representative Barney Frank introduced the bill last year and has been introducing such legislation since [...]

Why not have equality?

I was asked to create a blog post for today that deals with my thoughts or feelings on stopping discrimination at the state level.  I wholeheartedly agree that the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is not meant to be a place to dump discriminatory legislation to ban same-sex marriage.  The state’s Senate Judiciary Committee [...]

Joe Hoeffel for PA Governor?

At Podcamp Pittsburgh 4, I just got to meet and speak with Joe Hoeffel who will be running for the governor’s office in Pennsylvania.  He is running as a progressive Democratic candidate.  I’m not sure what that totally means, but am interested in seeing where he stands on LGBT issues.  An aide told me that [...]

Give us a place to talk...

With Podcamp Pittsburgh 4 looming over us, I get reminded of what people really want.  They want to make money on their podcast or blog.  At least that point is out in the open.  There are some other things that you won’t learn at Podcamp which reminds of us why we’re there.  The thing people [...]

Pittsburgh: It ain

I may be a little behind the curve on this, but I thought that I would join the bandwagon and write a post about the G-20 summit that was just in Pittsburgh.  I found it interesting that many of the foreign leaders that visited the city were expecting a smoky, sooty town with poor air [...]

Reminder: Protest Tomorrow in PGH

The Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents has continuing coverage on the protest rally tomorrow, Saturday, January 10.  Unfortunately, I am not able to attend due to my health.  The joys of trigeminal neuralgia in the winter preclude me from the procedings.  The escalation of pain is often set off by extreme cold and mine seems to be [...]

Other Priorities

This country has had some rather lame and shallow things on its mind for the last 18-24 months.  Most of the media has been engrossed in the 2008 Presidential Election.  Compared to the recent financial situation it now appears to be one large pissing contest between two large (or not so large) dicks.  How could [...]

It’s Main AVENUE!

What the hell is this “Main Street” thing that the “liberal” media keeps talking about?  I don’t know about you, but my hometown of Warren, Pennsylvania does not have a Main Street.  We have a Main Avenue.  I feel slighted with being called Main Street.  It’s bullshit.  Please, call me middle class.  At least that’s [...]

PodCamp Pittsburgh Warm-up

Well, the countdown to my favorite yearly event is upon us.  PodCamp Pittsburgh 3 is October 17-19 and is a great weekend of FREE events.  I did quite a bit to help out in organizing the event up until my illness got the better of me.  I’m right now working on a session that I [...]
