Fighting, winning, and won: Marriage Equality.

I love her post because it reframes the issue of how to vote. She asks her readers to consider how they want to be treated.

She also connects the two sides of Marriage together in a wonderful way.

Pittsburgh Debate Watch Party: Why Go?

I’ve received a ton of emails as well as Facebook invites about a debate watch party tonight at Cruze Bar. The party seems to be hosted by a number of persons and organizations, which provide fodder for some commentary. But right now, I want to focus on why it is useful for YOU to go. (and I believe it is)

Some action on the Pitt Trans discrimination complaint.

In the mean time, there is plenty of work that needs to be done. One of the reasons this seems so controversial is that most people don’t understand transgender or the issues trans persons face on a daily basis.

Gay groom, Grindr, and guys.

The Gay Groom has a blog post last week about Grindr, sparked by the comments, earlier this week, made by Paris Hilton. Honestly, I saw the headlines in my RSS reader about Hilton, and simply ignored them as there was too much else going on, with my partner having surgery, work being busy, and there being a plethora of stuff to be ready for the November election.

Can a Romney White House do the hard work of being President?

I haven’t commented about the recent flack over Romney’s attack against the Obama Administration, but Kevin Drum’s post prompts me to add some thoughts.
