Yet more proof that I am gay, as if I needed it

I had a somewhat productive weekend. I was out for a brief bit gathering signatures on the petitions for Sen. Bob Casey and Barack Obama. After coming home, having dinner, and washing the dinner, I took a nap on the couch. I don’t usually recall my dreams (or at least I haven’t for a . . . → Read More: Yet more proof that I am gay, as if I needed it

Christine O’Donnell Ad – EPIC FAIL

Words fail me at how unbelievably bad this ad is. Christine O’Donnell decides to go with filming herself, wearing black against a spooky black background with blue nebulous swirls, and the first words out of her empty little head are “I am not a witch. I’m you!” (Hint, remember how well “I am . . . → Read More: Christine O’Donnell Ad – EPIC FAIL

O’Donnell makes light of witchcraft comment

Groan! Christine O’Donnell seems to be rather a whack job. First off, I believe that the more usual construction is “dabbled IN”,”not dabbled INTO”, okay?

More importantly, (and speaking as someone who has been pagan/a witch for going on 2 decades now), witches and Satanists are 2 completely different groups. These statements that O’Donnell . . . → Read More: O’Donnell makes light of witchcraft comment

Mistaken identity, maybe not so mistaken

After work tonight, I was doing some phone banking for a political campaign. I dialed the number for a woman who I am guessing was expecting someone else, because she vivaciously answered the phone with a “Hey there, girlfriend!” I smiled and explained that wasn’t exactly the first time I had been referred to . . . → Read More: Mistaken identity, maybe not so mistaken

A busy birthday

What a day! I went to the committee meeting for the Erie County Democratic Party this morning, which went pretty well. The Chair was kind enough to note my birthday, and there were 2 other birthdays in the room. The meeting was quite productive. I then went home and posted some upcoming events, including . . . → Read More: A busy birthday

Meeting with my State Rep

I just met with Rep. Flo Fabrizio, who is my representative in the Pennsylvania State Assembly about House Bill 745 (which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the hate crimes law that has already been in place for years) and House Bill 300 (which would add sexual orientation and gender identity/expression to . . . → Read More: Meeting with my State Rep

Election re-do went fairly well

I was more than a tad apprehensive tonight as the Erie County Democratic Party had to redo the election of officers because of an issue from the meeting last month. The meeting last month didn’t go so well, and I was worried about another 3 hours of excruciating agony. In general, I hate anything . . . → Read More: Election re-do went fairly well

Erie Public Affairs Institute: Different Perspectives—Common Interests

I took yesterday off to go to Erie Public Affairs Institute: Different Perspectives—Common Interests that was put on by the Nonprofit Partnership. About 370 people attended from a wide variety of local non-profits, as well as legislators and representatives from philanthropy-based organizations. It was all about cooperation and working together. I was very much . . . → Read More: Erie Public Affairs Institute: Different Perspectives—Common Interests

Candidate questionnaires going out!

I sort of panicked recently when I realized that we needed to get out the candidate questionnaires for the next issue of Erie Gay News. We have been doing a voters guide for the region so that folks can make informed decisions when they vote. We don’t endorse at all – we just put . . . → Read More: Candidate questionnaires going out!

A busy Monday

Don’t tell me I don’t know how to multi-task! I was home for lunch on Monday and was trying to get the envelopes and labels generated and set up for the folding of Erie Gay News this Thursday. (And I got notice earlier today that the order has shipped, so it looks like we . . . → Read More: A busy Monday
