No basic proctection for LGBT people (including discrimiation in the area of hotel accomodations) yet Pennsylvania markets itself to the LGBT community on LGBT websites. Don’t go to Pennsylvania – IT’S HOMOPHOBIC!!!!!

If a church is operating as a business and a political party, why should they be excluded.

In Ohio we were on the list until X Gov. Taft removed us. Gov. Strickland has not seen fit to put us back on the list. There is also an amendment added 4.5 years ago that makes it very clear that we are not valued or wanted. I now live in Maryland.

Pennsylvania is a largely rural and small town state with just a few big cities and some medium sized ones.

We’ll see what will eventually happen when PA finds itself surrounded by marriage equality in NY state and in NJ and civil unions in MD. All that will be left will be OH to the west of PA and tiny DE to PA’s southeast.

I once heard Pennsylvania described as “Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, with Alabama inbetween them”.

Chris, stop being sad. This state kicks ass. Get ahold of your House Delegates pronto. I made a trip to Harrisburg and met with six of them last month. I’ve also talked with a couple on the phone and written about twenty emails. HB300 will fail if they don’t hear from a lot of informed homos and trans folk.
