Pittsburgh and Target and Homophobia
It is hard to get as passionate about that. A poor decision making system, isn’t nearly as engaging, as thinking of the corporation as homophobic.

Target Protest in Pittsburgh Tomorrow
Received this from Keystone Progress: Remember last year when Target Corporation used its profits to support a political candidate who did not support basic human rights? The backlash was swift, as shoppers boycotted to tell Target they didn’t like the company spending its profits on politics that were not in line with its corporate values. Target responded to the uproar by implementing superficial changes to its political giving policy. But today it STILL continues its[Read More…]
The Pride Controversy
In my experience of being at Pride events for almost 30 years, there will be al sorts of folks at Pride and each has his or her own agenda, ideas, thoughts, feelings, desires and plans.
Is Sarah Palin Smarter than a Fifth Grader?No. Sarah Palin Has No Idea Who Paul Revere Was, Or What He Did
Could Sarah Palin be stupider? Yes, and she is stupider: She also claims Paul Revere’s “midnight ride” on the eve of the Revolutionary War has something to do with the U.S. Constitution’s second amendment — the Bill of Rights wouldn’t exist until 1789 and wouldn’t be ratified until the end of 1791 — another 16 years after Revere’s famous ride. Ugh, every time Sarah Palin speaks in public, the nation’s collective IQ drops another[Read More…]

I think that the mainstream Faith community will play a major role in today’s civil rights movement for LGBT Equality, and I believe people like Pastor Totty is at the lead. Here’s why I think she is a tremendous role model and leader in the fight for equality, and why I think the mainstream Faith community is so important.

Easton City Council Unanimously Passes Same Sex Partner Benefits; Had Bipartisan Support
I received this press release and am publishing it here. But also wanted to add a note. Cities, Counties and other municipalities across Pennsylvania are doing what the State should be doing: creating an environment where everyone feels safe at work, in regards to public accommodations, and housing. For almost 85% of Pennsylvanians, they can still be fired, denied housing, or public accommodations, simply because they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. This is unacceptable.[Read More…]
Redefining Homophobe
OK, I haven’t watched this new show, The Voice, although I have an idea what it is about- a bunch of singers hoping for a big break. So, I passed and didn’t comment when one of the judges made a homophobic tweet last week. But this- I can’t pass up.
