In other Pride news, Gritty (who, even though I am a die-hard Pens fan, is still the best thing that we didn’t know we needed), did a great job at Philly Pride (and check out him waving the Philadelphia Pride flag)!
(Pennsylvania) Republicans are a disgrace, part I: screaming over the reading of a letter of a former homeless man because they want to slash the General Assistance Program.
(Pennsylvania) Republicans are a disgrace, part II: Congressman says he’s a person of color because he’s white.
And finally, as a palate cleanser, watch some T-Rexs run a race!

Let’s talk about gun control. Thankfully, America’s Best Christian, Betty Bowers is here to have the conversation:
In case you forgot, PA state Rep (from north of Pittsburgh, so not my elected official) Daryl Metcalfe is a bigoted, misogynistic,, racist waste of oxygen. He’s also been single handedly holding up the bills that would give me some equal rights in the Commonwealth.
Because as we’ve learned this week, the world can still be a scary and awful place. But we make it better each and every day by coming out and being more visible; and just by that act, reminding those around us that we’re humans. Just like you.
So if you are in a place where you can safely (physically, emotionally, financially, work-relatedly, yeah, I made that “word” up) come out, start with yourself, and work your way outward. You’ll feel better, I promise.
And to celebrate the 25th annual national coming out day, a day dedicated to LGBT visibility, a quick video. And yes, Randy Phillip’s still chokes me up a little bit, because we’re in a world where he had to ask his dad if he would still love him.
