2022
meeting
billy.
B
Yeah,
I
make
a
motion
to
adopt
the
or
approve
the
accept
the
minutes
from
august.
If
there's
a
second,
we
can
discuss
it.
Any
corrections,
et
cetera.
A
A
A
Any
opposed,
or
with
abstaining,
okay,
good
we're
moving
on
I'm
gonna
try
to
share.
D
A
Can
you
see
that
okay
yep
great,
let
me
get
rid
of
all
my
thousand
tabs
okay,
so
up
first,
is
the
various
reports
from
the
officers
boards
and
standing
committee,
starting
with
the
co-chairs.
A
I
the
first
is
the
pirate's
quarterly
meaning,
and
that
would
be
mine
area
report
on.
We
have
a
doodle
poll
out
there
to
determine
some
times
that
work
for
us.
The
first
round
of
the
suggestions
from
the
pirates
did
not
work
for
anyone
on
our
committee,
our
commission,
so
they
asked
us
to
propose
some
times
and
dates
plea
I
just
resent
that
link
this
afternoon.
So
I'll
keep
it
open
until
tomorrow
afternoon,
and
we.
A
So
far,
it's
billy
lenny,
myself
and
kathy
have
responded
and
richard,
so
we
may
just
move
ahead
to
get
that
going.
I
do
want
to
remind
everyone.
The
way
these
meetings
will
be
structured
is
that
every
time
we
meet,
which
should
be
quarterly
any
commissioner
can
attend.
You
don't
have
to
be
part
of
a
committee
or
anything
like
that.
So
if
we
get
it
scheduled
and
you
decide
you'd
like
to
be
there-
that's
fine
just.
We
just
need
to
know
ahead
of
time
any
questions
on
that
or
comments
feedback.
A
Okay,
it's
important
that
we
try
to
get
this
in,
so
we
can
have
another
meeting
in
december
before
they
go
to
florida
because
we'll
lose
some
attendees.
So
I
you
know,
even
if
you
can't
be
there
just
please
fill
out
the
doodle
to.
Let
me
know
that
you
can't
be
there,
but
you're
interested
and
I'll
follow
up
with
an
email
tomorrow.
A
Okay,
any
all
right.
Moving
on
protect
trans
youth
update.
A
Also
me
monday
was
the
first
protect
trans
youth
day
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
we
believe
it's
the
first
anywhere
ever
and
that
it's
the
the
proclamation
which
I
just
sent
to
you
by
email
was
drafted
and
directed
by
the
committee
of
three
lgbtq
youth,
including
the
trans
youth,
and
it's
pretty
impressive,
and
they
I
asked
them
about
it,
and
they
said
they
wanted
me
to
tell
you
that
they
would
really
want
you
to
read
it
and
they
would
like
people
to
respond,
whether
that's
a
message
or
a
note,
or
something
or
just
simply
picking
up
one
of
the
things
they
suggested
and
running
with
it.
A
A
Well,
you'll
have
to
respond
to
me
and
I'll
share
it
with
them,
because
we
are
protecting
their
identity.
You
can.
You
could
also
send
it
to
lenny,
he
he
is
knows
who
they
are
and
has
access
to
them
as
well,
we're
being
very
cautious
about
safety
because
of
the
experiences
of
the
o'donnell
caller
family.
A
What
happened
in
court
last
week
and
then
also
the
so-called
rally
by
transphobic
extremists,
who
were
in
pittsburgh
on
friday
so
and
the
youth
are
also
aware
of
all
that
I
wanted
to
be
careful,
so
I
also
sent
you
a
clip
of
the.
I
took
a
video
of
their
little
comments
after
the
proclamation
was
made,
it's
very
it's
very
beautiful.
So
if
you
can't
read
the
proclamation
at
least
watch
the
video
and
and
if
you'd
like
to
be
in
touch
with
them
directly,
I
can
ask
them.
A
Billy
you,
you
have
your
clearances,
so
that
would
be
okay.
So
we're
trying
to
be
that
careful.
Just
it's
just
sad
dative
thing
so,
but.
A
The
this
is,
you
know,
a
situation
that
has
spawned
a
movement
and
it's
it's
pretty
beautiful.
We,
the
court
cases,
are
proceeding.
A
There's
this
legal
maneuver
that
I
had
never
heard
of
until
this
summer
called
a
protection
from
intimidation
order
which
is
similar
to
a
pfa
but
closer
to
what
you
might
call
restraining
order,
except
that
it
only
applies
for
adults
in
cases
of
sexual
violence
and
for
minor
youth
when
the
adult
is
not
part
of
their
family.
A
So
they
would
not
have
a
pfa,
and
it's
a
shame
that
we
haven't
known
about
this
before,
because
I
can
imagine
lots
and
lots
of
ways
that
could
have
been
helpful
to
people
in
our
community
at
various
times
and
so
hugh
lane
is
leading
the
legal
situation
there.
So
hopefully,
once
their
specific
cases
resolved
we'll
be
able
to
maybe
get
some
feedback
on
how
that
legal,
maneuver
works
and
what
it
entails.
A
Essentially,
what
it's
going
to
do
is
mean
that
the
neighbor
cannot
have
any
contact
with
anyone
living
in
the
household
with
kiwan,
which
is
an
amazing
level
of
protection,
because
any
move
like
to
talk
to
her
brothers-
or
you
know,
parents
or
something
would
be
perceived
as
an
attempt
to
intimidate
her
and
that
would
violate
the
court
order.
Isn't
that
awesome?
I
mean
it's
horrible
that
people
need
that,
but
it's
a
great
tool
that
we
should
have
so.
C
A
Yeah
sarah,
do
you
have
any
thoughts
on
that
on
what
nick
might
be
able
to
do
to
make
that
information
available.
A
Okay,
well,
we'll
definitely
do
something
along
those
lines.
So
you
know
at
this
point
if
anyone
wants
a
sign
we're
up
to,
we
have
now
ordered
950
signs
which,
since
the
middle
of
june,
and
not
all
them
underground,
of
course,
because
they
haven't
all
been
even
been
printed
yet,
but
we
definitely
have
us
distributed
more
than
700.
A
billy.
I
hope
that
yours
were
received.
There's
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that.
Apparently
they
thought
you
were
a
corporate
entity
which
was
sort
of
amusing
to
me.
We
have
stickers
now
and
we
are
moving
into
the
area
of
pens.
The
idea
is
to
get
this
messaging
in
front
of
healthcare
providers.
A
I
consulted
a
lot
of
folks
about
what
would
be
the
best
tool
to
use
in
a
healthcare
setting
and
a
really
good
pen
that
doesn't
break
and
just
simply
has
that
same
logo
on
it
seems
to
be
the
you
know
what
the
consensus
is.
So
you
know
we're
moving
forward
with
that
and
feel
free
to.
You
know
if
you
have
any
questions
right
now.
If
you
want
to
know
more
about
what's
happening,
there
was
some
concerns
about
why
we
had
the
proclamation
issued
in
a
private
ceremony.
A
It
really
was
about
safety
both
in
terms
of
covid
and
in
terms
of
what
the
youth
felt
comfortable
with
they
did
not
want
a
lot
of
people
that
they
didn't
know
or
have
any
connection
to,
and
we
had
to
respect
their
comfort
of
course.
So
there
was,
it
wasn't
an
attempt
to
keep
anyone
else.
Lenny
was
there,
you
have
any
thoughts,
lenny.
E
I
mean
I'll
just
echo
what
you
said:
sue
about
the
the
kids
statements
like
I
mean
that
was
that
was
really
powerful
and
I
mean
they
they,
the
the
par
the
proclamation.
While
long
is
well
worth
reading
and
everybody
should,
but
what
the
kids
had
to
say
about
their
own
experiences
and
their
own
feelings
about
feeling,
valued
and
seen
you
know
through
the
city
proclamation
was.
It
was
really
moving.
C
A
I
would
like
to
thank
and
lenny
and
then
devin
brown's
leadership
in
bringing
pps
staff
to
the
event.
One
of
the
youth
did
not
have
family,
who
could
be
there
in
a
supportive
role,
and
so
they
were
surrounded
by
supportive
adults
from
their
everyday
life
and
who
were
supportive
and
knew
the
other
youth
as
well
too.
A
So
it
was,
and
I
had
spoken
to
the
fathers
who
were
able
to
be
there
and
they
made
a
lot
of
effort
to
go
up
to
the
other
youth
and
do
some
dad
stuff
with
them
and
to
just
you
know-
and
it
was
just
it
was
wonderful
to
see
how
many
people
turned
out
and
then
in
their
their,
and
I
want
to
also
tell
you
the
comfort
in
suites
on
the
north
shore.
It's
a
brand
new
space.
Oh
my
god.
A
It's
so
nice,
the
vet,
the
room
we
were
in
and
then
there's
like
a
terrace
and
you
could
look
out
over
the
city.
I
would
never
have
expected
that
from
the
north
shore
or
the
comfort
inn,
and
so
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
to
see
that
so
that's
a
venue.
We
should
keep
in
mind
if
we
need
to
do
something
moving
forward.
They
were
wonderful.
A
It
was
beautiful,
it'd
be
great
to
watch
the
fireworks
from
up
there.
I
think
so.
Okay,
so
we'll
move
it
on
to
lgbtq
liaison
with
the
pittsburgh
police
department.
It
has
maria.
Is
she
here?
No.
A
Okay,
well
we'll
just
to
revisit
this
issue.
This
is
a
concern
that
I
brought
up
actually
commander.
Eric
holmes
has
been
the
liaison
for
many
years,
and
him
was
himself
an
out
gay
man
and
he
left
the
city.
He
went
to
a
different
police
force,
and
so
I
had
asked
that
commander
stand
directly,
appoint
some
acting
commanders
dan
guthrie
and
ricky
employ
someone
from
within
the
police
department
to
serve
in
this
role,
at
least
in
an
interim
status.
A
Until
there's,
a
new
chief
maria
had
made
some
comments
about
filling
this
role
through
the
department
of
public
safety,
which
I
think
would
be
fantastic,
but
it
doesn't
address
the
need
for
there
to
be
an
actual
police
officer.
They
have
access
to
a
lot
of
information
that
no
civilian
can
access,
not
the
mayor
director
of
public
safety,
no
one
and
in
cases
like
the
o'donnell
collar
situation,
if
somebody
had
brought
it
to
their
attention
months
ago,
they
could
have
pulled
up
the
pieces
and
we
could
have
gotten
involved
sooner.
A
So
I
think
we
we
really
should
push
for
that.
It's
not
hiring
anyone.
It's
just
you
know,
assigning
a
command
staff
person
to
they
don't
have
to
be
part
of
our
community.
They
just
have
to
be
culturally
competent.
So
personally,
I
think
that
that's
really
necessary
and
that
we
should
go
right
to
commander
stan
gregory
and
ask
him
for
that.
But
I
don't
I
don't
know
how
you
all
feel
about
that.
B
Well,
I
think
we
should
do
that.
I
think
that
is
clearly
in
our
role.
I
mean
we,
we
exist
to
make
recommendations
to
council
and
city
agencies
and
the
mayor
regarding
things
that
affect
lgbtqia
persons,
and
we
should
do
this.
A
Would
it
be
appropriate,
then,
for
the
co-chairs
to
you
know,
you
know
collectively
send
a
request
to
acting
commander
stan
stan
grecky
with
this
request.
Obviously
we
can't
force
him
to
do
anything
but
are.
G
A
For
that
is
a
very
good
idea,
because
I'm
not
exactly
sure
what
that
position
did
under
previous
administration.
So
perhaps
we
should
have
some
back
and
forth
by
email
from
anyone
who's
interested
to
put
that
together.
A
Everyone
comfortable
with
taking
that
up
by
email,
just
sit
back
just
lay
out
some
general
expectations
and
then
not
not
that
it
would
require
a
vote
because
we're
not
formalizing
that
until
they
make
the
decision,
I
guess
is
that
a
good
plan,
okay,.
G
A
Can't
see
any
of
you
at
all,
so
if
all
right
well,
then,
you
know
and.
B
If
why
don't
we
do
this?
The
the
have
the
commissioners
have
the
time
from
now
until
the
the
fourth
of
october,
which
is
the
day
before
next
executive
board
executive
committee
meeting
and
then
have
an
opportunity
for
input
on
what
would
go
into
a
request
from
the
a
co-chair
or
the
co-chairs
to
to
the
police
leader
and
and
then
you
would
have
that
in
input.
B
The
the
co-chairs
are
empowered
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
commission,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
the
commissioners
to
have
their
input
prior
to
a
letter
sent.
But
then
it
could
be
done.
You
know
quickly
and
would
be
done
before
the
next
regular
meeting,
rather
than
dragging
it
for
a
month.
Okay,.
A
I
think
that's
a
good
idea,
so
everyone
who
has
thoughts
on
this,
please
email
them
to
us,
the
co-chairs
at
least
or
the
executive
committee
by
before
the
4th
of
october,
and
we
will
take
it
from
there.
I
do
want
to
remind
you
that
if
you
see
a
structural
piece
in
the
city
hierarchy,
where
you
think
that
we
should
have
something
similar
make
similar
recommendations,
you
know,
please
feel
free
to
bring
that
up.
That's
our
role!
So
all
right!
H
I
am,
I
do
not
have
much
an
update
here.
I
built
from
my
understanding.
The
last
part
of
the
correspondence
was
that
the
administrative
assistant
for
felicity
was
going
to
reach
back
out
to
us
to
schedule
something
with
the
main
group,
and
then
I
know
that
and
then
in
that
effort
also
getting
something
scheduled
with
the
mayor.
But
I
have
not
followed
up
on
that
since
they
said
they
would
circle
back
with
us
for
some
potential
dates.
So.
A
So
we
asked
for
this
meeting
almost
a
year
ago
in
october,
when
their
transition
team
was
loosely
forming
before
the
primary,
the
general
election.
But-
and
we
had
our
meeting
in
december.
C
C
I
think
I
don't
know
if
the
communication
has
gotten
lost,
or
he
just
needs
to
be.
We
have
to
be
a
little
bit
more
aggressive
in
setting
this
up,
and
that
could
be
a
question
for
maria
also,
so
he
is
aware,
through
me
at
least
that
we
do
want
to
meet
with
him.
H
So
that
would
be
a
little
concerning
to
me
richard,
because
we
yeah
yeah,
because
phillip
so
I
mean
it
was
a
whole
thing.
But
we
went
back
and
forth
with
the
administrative
system
to
get
this
scheduled
and
then
the
dates.
We
only
had
a
few
dates
that
were
pretty
like
not
far
in
advance
and
then
when
we
did
try
to
schedule
with
the
group,
then
it
became
this
whole
thing
and
even
that
wasn't
technically
with
the
mayor.
H
C
I
think
he
has
a
lot
on
his
plate
right
now,
because
he's
trying
to
meet
with
all
the
neighborhoods
and
listening
to
their
concerns,
but
this
is
something
that
was
promised
that
we
need
to
keep
him
to
have
this
commitment
to
meet
with
us
at
least
once
the
full
commission
have
has
the
executive
committee
met
with
him
at
all?
C
A
The
the
back
and
forth
with
the
planning
seemed
to
be
like
almost
like
a
gatekeeping
thing
that
we
had
to
go
through
the
deputy
chief
of
staff
to
have
that
meaning
first
then,
to
have
a
meeting
with
the
mayor,
which
seems
very
since
75
of
the
people
on
this
commission
know
the
mayor
by
first
name
it.
It
seems
like
a
lot
of
hoops
to
jump
through,
especially
because
we
you
know,
I
think
we
should
remember
the
mayor's
agreed
to
this
in
december.
A
C
But
jake
wheatley
was
also
with
him,
and
the
mayor
also
did
have
an
assistant
who
was
taking
notes
of
all
of
our
concerns.
Just
you
know,
for
as
a
business
district,
so
that
was
you
know
within
the
notes
she
was
taken.
So
hopefully
this
is
one
of
his
priorities
to
to
understand
that
commissions
need
to
be
listened
to.
B
A
H
Her
yeah,
I
think
it's
within
our
right
yeah.
I
think
that
I
think
that
makes
sense.
A
H
Yeah
I
yeah,
I
can
take
the
lead
on
reaching
out
to
them
and
then
I'll
keep
you
all.
Then
do
we
in
terms
of
this
meeting
would
it
I
don't
know
if
it'll
be
helpful
to
talk
about
you
know
what
is
there
a
general
goal
we
want
out
of
it
or
what's
exactly
our
intentions
behind
it,.
C
I
think
we
should
formulate
questions
very
specific,
so
we
get
right
to
the
point
and
let
him
understand
that
there's
a
reason
why
we
want
to
talk
to
him.
A
A
I
believe
we
should
report
out
to
the
mayor
on
what
we've
accomplished
really
since
we
began,
but
particularly
this
year,
and
we
really
need
to
talk
about
the
budget,
our
staff
person,
our
designated
liaison,
I
mean
there's
some
some
pretty
serious
issues
for
us
to.
I
Yes-
and
so
you
know-
you
mentioned
the
budget,
so
I
don't
really
have
any
updates.
This
is
guillermo
treasurer.
I
don't
really
have
any
updates
for
the
budget
for
the
same
reasons,
because
we
just
need
to
have
that
kind
of
level
of
engagement
with
his
office
of
whoever
is
going
to
be
the
liaison
that
sydney
is
on.
I
I
also
think
it's
very
important
that
in
all
the
meetings
we
always
have
a
person
from
the
city,
whether
or
not
the
designated
person
can
attend
or
not,
they
can
have
somebody
who
can
represent
them,
but
I
think
it's
important.
We
do
have
a
person
from
the
city.
You
meet
every
name.
A
Okay,
so
how
about
we
kick
this
back
to
the
executive
committee
and
for
marcus
to
follow
up
on
trying
to
get
the
meeting
set
up,
and
then
we
can
also
start
discussing
what
we
want
to
just
our
agenda
sounds
like
a
good
plan
to
everyone.
I
don't
know
if
that's
official
robert's
language,
but.
A
We
were
talking
the
other
day
about
every
time
we
talk
about
something
to
do
with
mayor
guinea.
It
always
leads
into
this
budget
issue
where
we
just
keep
going
in
circles,
because
we
don't
have
any
answers,
and
I
want
to
stop
very
quickly
though,
and
go
to
billy
on
the
secretary's
report
and
then
come
back
to
the
budget
issue
under
treasurer's
report.
Billy,
do
you?
Are
you
prepared
to.
B
Yeah,
it's
pretty
simple,
and
this
is
one
thing:
we've
had
some
practice
at,
so
this
is
easy.
We
have
a
the
officers
positions
have
year
long
terms
and
they
run
from
january
through
december,
and
so
in
in
december
annually.
There
is
a
selection
process
for
the
officers
of
the
commission.
We
have
six
officer
positions,
three
co-chairs
treasurer
secretary
and
outreach
coordinator
and
those
those
terms
expire
at
the
end
of
december.
So
in
december
we
would
elect,
perhaps
re-elect
six
commissioners
to
to
those
positions.
B
So
in
november,
at
in
november,
there
would
need
to
be
a
nomination.
B
An
election
committee
formed
of
two
or
three
at
the
most
would
be
needed,
commissioners,
who
are
ready
to
to
do
the
process
in
december,
but
also
are
available,
who
are
not
interested
in
officer
positions
and
are
available
to
other
commissioners
to
answer
questions
or
talk
about
the
the
roles
of
the
the
commissioners,
so
that
someone
who
might
seek
a
commission
officer
position
would
not
only
need
would
not
necessarily
go
to
one
of
the
current
officers,
particularly
if
they're
going
to
challenge
them,
but
not
that
this
is
a
highly
competitive
group,
but
the
the
process
is:
is
there
to
certainly
accommodate
you
know
the
most
considerate
methods
to
select
leadership
so
that
that's?
B
This
is
just
an
announcement
that
that
happens
annually
and
that
and
that
people
interested
if
they're
thinking
about
it.
They
now
have
some
good
notice
to
think
about
it
and
it
this
report
will
be
in
the
minutes.
Also,
so
persons
who
are
not
here
can
read
them.
B
There
are
no
term
limits
in
our
bylaws
the
what
limits
someone
to
a
certain
number
of
terms
is
voting.
If
you're
voted
out,
then
your
term
is
limited,
so
there
are
no.
A
an
officer
can
run
again
for
the
same
position
for
a
second
or
third
or
fourth
term.
There
is
no.
There
are
no
term
limits
in
our
bylaws.
A
Billy,
guillermo
and
myself
are
in
our
third
term,
although
the
first
term
was
partial,
denise
and
marcus
are
filling
out
and
sarah
are
filling
out
vacated
terms,
so
that
doesn't
really
matter
because
there's
no
limit
on
how
many
times
you
can
do
that.
But
just
for
clarity,
because
marcus
was
on
the
executive
committee
and
then
he
moved
into
a
different
role
on
the
executive
committee.
So.
E
B
A
You
are
the
master
of
the
side
room
or
whatever,
what
what
do
they
call
it
when
they
move
your.
A
F
You
know
my
my
personal
opinion
is
that
I
feel
like
we're
just
getting
started.
I
think
we
need
to
just,
in
my
opinion,
stay
as
is
for
another
year.
F
A
Well,
thank
you
both
for
vote
of
confidence
in
all
of
us.
That's
that's
very
important.
I
do
want
to
encourage,
though
anyone
who
is
interested
to
please
consider
because
someone
may
not
run
again
so
if
we
may
have
some
vacancies,
I'm
not
being
vague
on
purpose.
I
just
don't
know
who's
gonna
run
and
who's.
Not
so
all
right,
so
can
we
move
on
everyone?
Okay,
on
this
topic,
all
right,
so
let's
get
back
to
the
budget
so
billy
did
you
get
a
call
about
this.
A
A
How
our
allotment
was
budgeted,
what
it
was
for
the
different
pieces
of
information
we've
had
and
he
was
going
to
get
some
information
for
us
on
in
terms
of
the
legislative
process
and
the
budgeting,
and
I
guess
I
haven't
heard
from
sweden
that
there's
not
a
response
yet,
but
there
are
city
councils
looking
into
that
to
try
to
clarify
for
us
what
actually
happened
with
the
budget,
and
we
asked
about
what's
going
to
be
in
the
budget
for
us
for
next
year,
which
is
something
we
need
to
discuss
as
a
group.
A
I
I
want
to
take
a
moment
here
to
just
remind
everyone
of
a
point
that
I
think
it's
really
important.
We
do
not
serve
just
the
mayor.
We
are
not
the
mayor's
advisory
committee,
we
serve
the
residents
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
lgbtqia
and
the
rest
of
them,
and
we
serve
two
branches
of
government
executive
and
the
legislative
or
the
administrative
and
the
legislative,
and
so
I
think
it's.
A
That
we
also
look
to
our
relationships
with
city
council
in
many
ways
this
is
a
really
good
one,
because
there's
problem
there's
a
breakdown
in
communication.
In
what
happened,
the
legislators
were
all
still
there
when
the
budget
was
approved
the
first
time
and
this
recent
year.
So
I
think
we
need
to
be
careful
and
that
we're
leaning
into
working
with
all
of
the
people
who
are
supposed
to
be
serving
us
as
we
fulfill
our
role
and
that's
not
just
the
mayor's
office,
no
disrespect
to
the
mayor
intended.
A
I
That's
okay.
We
just
gave
the
update
because
I
don't
have
any
other
updates
other
than
that
I
reach
out
to
maria
today
it
was
a
little
late,
but
I
was
trying
to
connect
with
her.
I
did
not
know
that
she
was
not
going
to
be
in
the
meeting,
so
I
you
know,
I
I
think
what
has
been
presented
by
sue.
I
A
We
we
also
need
to
talk
about
what
we
think
the
budget
should
be
for
the
next
year
and
what
are
we
looking
for?
There's
there's,
no
reason
we
can't
ask
for
what
we
think
is
needed,
not
that
we're
going
to
get
it
all,
but
we
we
part
of
our
responsibilities
to
advocate
so
we've
discussed
wanting
to
have
at
least
a
half-time
staff
person,
maybe
shared
with
the
gender
equity
commission.
A
I
Also
talk
about
allocation
for
events
in
marketing.
Obviously,
a
lot
of
that
on
social
media
inform
the
people
that
we
are.
You
know
what
the
commission
is
doing,
because
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
about
that.
So
that's.
I
think
I
think
a
lot
of
the
money
is
going
to
have
to
be
spent
in
these
areas
and
we
we
had
one
meeting
back
in
three
or
four
months
ago,
and
I
shared
that
preliminary
discussion
of
that
happened
between
sarah
and
I
in
and
we
I
can.
I
I
can
share
it
again
with
the
whole
group.
I
don't
have
it
right
now
in
front
of
me,
although
I
can
look
at
it.
If
you
give
me
some
time,
if
you
want
to
see
it
but
I'll
be
happy
to
share
with
you
again.
A
My
suggestion
would
be
that
we
take
some
time
in
our
october
meeting
to
talk
about
the
budget
when's
the
vote
on
the
on
the
budget.
A
So
we
probably
need
to
start
sooner
then.
Perhaps
we
need
a
budget
committee
to
make
some
recommendations
and
everyone
can
weigh
in
on
what
that
looks
like,
because
a
budget
is
a
wish
list
right.
When
you
propose
it,
it's
not.
We
don't
know
what
the
guaranteed
outcomes
will
be.
B
I
agree
with
that.
I
think
that
we
should
have
a
budget
committee
meeting
separate
from
our
regular
meeting
that
that
really
does
put
together
a
concrete
plan
on
that
when
we
do
have
access
to
the
funds
that
either
have
been
or
should
have
been,
and
certainly
will
be,
come
available
to
this
commission
that
we
begin
to
utilize
them
for
the
purposes
that
we
are
here
and
we
should
be
ready
for
that
when
it
happens,
because
I'm
expecting
that
it
may
happen,
you
know
in
the
in
the
coming
months.
B
Finally,
I
think
we
are
going
to
break
this
logjam
on
how
this
commission
has
been
supported
and
we
should
be
ready
for
it
so,
and
it's
also
more
appropriate
for
a
separate
committee
to
do
the
work
and
then
bring
the
results
of
that
work
to
a
regular
meeting.
Rather
than
doing
the
work
at
the
regular
meeting,
the
regular
meeting
adopts
or
rejects
what
committees
do
and-
and
we
should
do-
that
work
separately.
A
B
And
you
have
the
work
that
guillermo
led
already.
Yes,
the
initiative,
and
we
have
the
goals
that
you
know
denise
led
in
the
goal
setting.
So
the
combination
of
those
two
things
you
know
will
should
produce
some
things
that
we
want
to
to
get
done,
whether
it's
a
tangible
document
to
communicate
or
assistance
paying
for
assistance
with
a
website.
That
is
really
you
know
well-built
and
doing.
Although
the
city
should
do
that,
but
I'm
not
sure
they
would.
B
We
might
need
a
consultant
on
that,
but
whatever
it
is,
we
should
we
should
do
that
or
an
event
or
an
event,
a
an
event
where
the
community
can
actually
meet
us
and
that
we
can
listen
to
them
things
like
that,
but
whatever
they
are
with
the.
I
think
we
have
the
the
beginnings
of
solidifying
it.
You
know
tangible
things
that
that
would
cost
money
in
order
to
make
happen.
B
It's
sort
of
a
cornerstone
accomplishment
have
been
certainly
that
one
report
that
one
very
large
report
on
the
disparities
in
the
in
many
areas
based
on
gender
and
race
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
that
report
has
been
used
in
many
ways
to
support.
You
know
change
and
also
to
inform
citizens
of
pittsburgh
about
the
just
absolutely
terrible
situation
that
women
of
color
and
women
in
general
experience
in
pittsburgh
because
of
economic
disparities
in
others.
B
So
there
could
be
and
should
be
an
equivalent
at
some
point,
I
think
in
our
history
some
type
of
report,
where
we
really
do
have
a
broad
scope
picture
of
what
it
is,
what
it
means
to
be
queer
in
pittsburgh
and
what
that,
what
and
and
disaggregated
into
different
identities
too,
because
of
the
complexity
of
our
community,
because
something
like
that
has
you
know
great
longevity
in
terms
of
being
a
historical
marker
that
can
be
looked
back
on
and
and
measure
and
progress
can
be
measured
against.
B
You
know
the
school
of
social
work
does
tremendous
research
on
this
at
the
university
of
pittsburgh
and-
and
I
think
that
we
should
think
about
some
sort
of
you
know
keystone
document
like
that
for
our
commission
that
costs
money,
because
it
involves
you,
know
social
scientists
to
do
the
research.
B
I
Do
have
the
document
of
the
we
have
worked
on
so
far
on
my
screen.
If
you
like
me
to
share
it
with
you,
I
can
assault
you.
A
A
Do
that
there?
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
especially
for
denise,
to
plug
into
that,
because
she's
over
seeing
most
of
the
programming
that
we'll
be
doing
or
is
involved
informed
about
it.
So
I
think
that
guillermo
and
denise
and
lenny
are
a
good
team.
Lenny
could
flood
that
breakout
room
get
some
stacks
in
there.
A
A
F
You
know
so
one
thing
that
I
think
everybody
has
is
the
first
draft
of
a
social
media
policy
and
I
think
one
and
two,
I
think,
subjects
one
and
two
kind
of
go
hand
in
hand.
So,
after
a
lot
of
you
know,
research
and
reviewing
what
the
legal
opinion
is
with
the
city.
F
I
think
that
it's
just,
I
don't
think
we
have
the
manpower
to
man
this
thing
and
to
respond
appropriately,
and
I
personally
you
know
I
I
wouldn't
want
to
respond
in
a
way
that
was
negative
or
or
wrong.
A
F
F
No,
not
really
not
an
open
forum
so
where
people
are
interactive
and
we're
obligated
to
respond
and
we're
obligated
to
respond
in
a
specific
way,
and
I
I
think
it's
best
for
us
at
this
point
to
just
have
it
as
informational.
So
if
you
need
help
with
this,
here's
a
link,
you
know
and
and
being
a
page
where
to
provide.
F
A
This
to
clarify
for
everyone,
the
law
department
has
been
working
for
several
years
on
coming
up
with
a
universal
policy
for
all
commissions
and
it's
kind
of
been
ad
hoc.
Until
now
and
and
the
conversations
that
marcus
and
I
had
with
them,
they
pushed
them
to
take
more
direct
action
because
you
know
we
are
it's
very
free
speech
is
a
very
important
right
for
our
community
for
anyone,
and
it
is
definitely
going
to
be
time
consuming
to
manage
a
facebook
page,
no
matter
what
we
do,
even
if
it's
just
informational.
A
So
we
have
to
look
at.
C
Can
I
ask
a
quick
question,
of
course
somebody
from
the
community
wanted
to,
let's
say,
share
some
kind
of
post.
Would
we
have
a
moderator
that
would
approve
some
posting?
That
would
be
something
for
the
community.
F
A
We
also
talked
about
leaning
into
the
existing
resources,
something
I
said
I
would
do
is
put
a
complete
list
of
all
the
existing
facebook
groups,
where
people
can
interact
back
and
forth,
and
we
can
share
that
on
a
regular
basis
to
remind
people.
Here's
where
you
can
go
to
build
community.
Here's
where
you
can
go
to
have
the
kind
of
that
sort
of
chatty
experience
and
then
we're
not.
A
You
know
we
can
just
keep
adding
to
it
if,
as
new
groups
arise
and
we're
not
playing
favorites
we're
not
taking
picking,
you
know,
prioritizing
anyone's
group,
but
just
making
that
information
available.
F
You
know,
and
what
I
think
we
could
do
is
we
could
put
a
you
know,
a
content,
a
social
calendar,
and
you
know
we
could
populate
it.
I
could
populate
it
with
some.
You
know
articles
and
things
like
that.
Then,
if
there's
something
that
somebody
wants
to
add
to
it,
we
can
just
get
it
kind
of
in
in
the
rotation.
C
I
think
it's
important
that
the
community
actually
visit
the
facebook
page,
so
it
has
to
be
very
active.
I've
been
involved
with
organizations
where
they
have
not
changed
the
post
in
two
years
so
and
the
reason
we
want
this
to
be
visited
as
much
as
possible.
C
C
C
So
that's
why
I'm
moderate
monitoring
my
my.
I
cannot
say
that
word
monitoring
the
content
would
be
very
important
and
I
I
think
this
is
what
you're
talking
about,
but
I
also
want
to
have
some
kind
of
interactive.
A
A
So
I
think,
that's,
I
think,
that's
a
good
goal,
but
I
think
what
we
should
start
out
with
is
sharing
our
information
and
and
as
people
are
willing
to
step
up
and
assist
with
content
creation
and
moderation,
then
you
know
we
could
certainly
expand
it.
But.
C
A
Yeah,
I
don't
think
anything's
off
the
table,
but
we
just
have
the
joint
challenges
of
complying
with
our
role
as
a
governmental
body
and
all
these
pieces
that
we
have
to
comply
with
because
think
this
is
the
other
piece
richard
people
may
not
know
that
what
they
share
with
us
automatically
becomes
public
information
and
subject
to
the
the
sunshine
laws
or
freedom
of
information
act,
and
if
we
tell
them
after
they've
contacted
us,
they
can't
retract
it.
I
mean
it's
too
late,
so
we
have
to
be
careful
that
people
understand.
A
You
know
that
we
we're
not
creating
more
conflict
for
somebody
who's
in
a
stressful
or
you
know
terrible
situation
and
doesn't
necessarily
want
the
post
gazette
to
be
able
to
subpoena
their
their
email
to
us.
So.
C
So
I
think
there
needs
to
be
some
kind
of
disclaimer
on
the
facebook
page
saying.
C
A
You
know
you
know,
people
won't
re,
I
mean
once
I
don't.
Most
people
don't
realize
how
all
that
stuff
works
and
even
when
they
do
when
they're
upset
or
they're
looking
for
help
or
they're
stressed
or
anxious,
they're,
definitely
not
paying
attention
to
the
fine
point.
So
we
have
to.
They
have
to
kind
of
think
for
them
in
that
sense
and
make
sure
that
they're
not
putting
themselves
in
a
bad
position.
A
The
the
city's
policy
will
tell
us
everything
we
have
to
have
on
the
page
for.
C
A
A
Any
everyone
has
read
the
social
media
policy,
hopefully
that
you're
about
to
vote
on.
A
A
Any
abstentions,
I
say
I
too:
okay,
it's
past
unanimously.
Then
we
have
that
matter
of
the
social
media
policy.
Denise.
Do
you
want
to
pick
up
with
that?
The
larger
policy.
F
Yeah,
I
I
sent
out
a
revision
one
if
anybody
has
some
feedback,
I
I
pulled
a
dif
a
couple:
different
policies
from
different
organizations
that
I
felt
were
similar
to
ours
and
tried
to
condense
it
marcus.
Thank
you
for
the
help
that
you
gave
me
with
some
information
and-
and
you
know
I
think
it's
I
don't
think
it's
overboard
and
I
don't
think
it
doesn't
cover
the
important
part.
So
any
feedback
is
welcome.
E
Billy,
do
we
need
an
emotion
before
we
go
to
discussion.
B
Well,
I
think
that
that
all
depends
on
whether
denise
wants
to
adopt
this
tonight,
but
that
could
be
done
that
way,
because
it
could
also
just
be
moved
that
there
be
time
for
further
feedback
either
way.
I
mean
it's
fine
just
to
have
a
general
discussion
on
it
right
now.
It
depends
on
what
denise
wants
to
do.
Yeah.
B
Well,
I
have,
I
have
some
feedback
and
some
questions
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
it
being
634
and
doing
this.
So
I
regret
I
haven't
emailed
you
comments
on
it
earlier,
but.
F
Well
then,
let's
just
let's
just
get
some
feedback
and
we
can
do
it
next
time.
Okay,.
B
Then
let
me
you
know
I'll
just
you
know.
B
Some
of
some
of
the
policies
seem
to
be
unclear
to
me
because
it
it
seemed
to
imply
that
if,
if
one
of
the
commissioners,
although
I'm
not
necessarily
against
you,
know,
being
well
behaved
in
in
all
areas
of
our
lives,
but
it
does
seem
that
some
of
this
some
some
of
this
seemed
to
extend
beyond
you
know,
just
commenting
or
just
you
know,
posting
something
on
commission,
social,
media
or
websites
or
when
we're
in
a
place
where
we're
acting
as
commissioner,
but
that
we
might
need
to
do
disclaimers
when
we're
just
on
our
own
social
media
page
and
I've.
B
So
I
don't
know
what
what
the
scope
of
it
always
is
it
also
in
section
four,
it
referred
to
the
anti-bullying
and
sexual
harassment
policies,
and
I
don't
know
specifically
what
those
documents
are
regarding
us
so
that
I
was
unsure
of
then
the
the
the
statement
on
on
page
two
of
three
near
the
top
not
represent
or
communicate
on
behalf
of
the
commission
in
public
domain,
without
prior
approval
from
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
that
that
seemed
to
be
an
odd
statement
to
me.
B
F
Why
don't?
Why
don't
we
just
reconvene,
because
I
I
there's
there's
a
let's:
let's,
we
could
set
up
a
time
or
we
can
go
through
this
because
there
was.
There
was
a
couple
policies
that
explained
why
they
were
written
that
way.
So
I
I
can.
I
can
go
and
go
over
that.
F
B
A
And
I
do
think
it's
important-
I
will
be
there
too,
because
there's
a
whole
rate
of
policy
about
our
personal
interactions,
our
personal,
the
way
that
we
present
ourselves
as
commissioners
in
our
official
capacity
and
then
the
content
that
we're
creating
on
behalf
of
the
commission.
So
I
saw
some
of
that
too,
and
I
was
a
little
bit
like
concerned
that
it's
become
it's
might
be
a
little
bit.
It
is
too
controlling,
I
think,
for
what
I
can
do
on
my
own
social
media,
because
I
serve
on
the
commission.
A
So
I'd
like
to
get
into
that
too.
F
Thought
the
same
thing
honestly
and
I,
but
I
would
again
I'm
not
a
policy
writer,
so
I
was
looking
at
as
many
examples
and
when
they
all
had
the
same
thing,
I
thought.
Well,
maybe
I
better
at
least
put
it
in
there,
so
yeah
I'll
set
something
up.
Whoever
wants
to
join
and.
A
A
Lot
on
your
plate,
but
like
please,
you
know,
maybe
set
some
time
aside
in
your
schedule
to
like
you
know,
read
through
these
different
things
that
are
part
of
our
shared
commitment
as
commissioners
to
to
be
aware
of
so
all
right.
Anything
else,
denise
is
that.
A
It's
important,
though,
and
we're
making
progress
on
this
that's
good.
The
next
is
the
municipal
ordinances
working
group,
which
is
surprise.
G
A
We
have
made
progress.
We
are
looking
at
doing
roughly
a
I'm
saying
two
hour,
but
it
probably
will
be
more
like
90
minutes,
plus
miscellaneous
chit
chat
online
training
on
the
topic
of
how
to
pass
administer
ordinance,
non-discrimination,
ordinance.
A
It
you
know
we're
going
to
focus
on
areas
around
here,
but
it
would
be
applicable
statewide
because
they
all
all
these
bodies,
whether
they're
a
municipality
or
a
city
or
whatever
they
all
have
the
same
rules
from
the
state.
So
we're
looking
at
october
26th.
A
That
is
when
our
two
anchors,
which
is
pittsburgh
pennsylvania,
youth
commission,
who
does
the
training,
will
be
available
and
then
billy
hillman
who
lived
this
and
I'm
not
laughing
and
jess.
I'm
because
I
really
think
seriously
that
you
know
that
billy
has
some
incredible
stories
to
help
us
remember
what
we
have
done
and
what
we
can
still
continue
to
do
and
going
back
30
40
years
in
this
regard,
so
they're
committed.
A
So
please
mark
your
calendars.
If
you're
free
that
night,
we
really
like
to
see
you
we're
working
on
bringing
in
other
speakers,
have
one
of
lenny's
co-workers
julie,
who
tried
unsuccessfully
to
get
this
sort
of
ordinance
passed
in
peters
township
and
is
going
to
talk
about
what
not
to
do
or
what
to
be
expected.
A
We're
really
hoping
to
come
out
of
this
with
a
good
like
plan
for
people
so
that
they
can
just
literally
go
back
to
their
own
community
and
get
the
ball
rolling
based
on
the
various
experiences
that
we
have.
So
this
is
incredibly
important
work.
A
There
was
just
an
article
this
week
in
the
penn
capital
star
about
how
pennsylvania
does
not
have
a
statewide
non-discrimination
ordinance
that
is
not
going
to
change
anytime
soon,
but
the
local
ordinances
can
really
be
impactful.
So,
if
anyone's
interested
in
getting
involved,
we're
going
to
need
a
couple
people
to
help
with,
like
that,
maybe
denise
you
could
help
with
us.
This
is
like
is
like
marcus
keeping
the
comments
and
the
attendees,
and
all
that
sort
of
thing
so-
and
I
did
want
to
ask
for
a
vote.
A
The
pennsylvania
youth
congress
has
asked
for
a
hundred
dollar
stipend
to
cover
being
there
virtually,
but
also
because
they
have
worked
on
this
prop.
You
know
this
presentation
and
they
will
be
providing
it
to
everybody.
A
So
I
think
that's
a
pretty
reasonable
amount
of
money
to
ask
so,
but
we
need
we
don't
really
have
a
policy
on
how
we
request
money.
So
I'm
gonna
ask
lenny,
would
you
mind
making
that
motion
since
I'm
chairing
that
we
authorize
a
hundred
dollars
for
that
purpose?.
E
I
make
a
motion
that
we
authorize
the
payment
of
a
hundred
dollars
to
the
pennsylvania
youth
congress
for
the
fee
of
our
ordinance
passing
training.
A
So
we're
gonna,
I've
asked
maria
just
in
a
broad
sense
like
how
do
we
get
money
that
whether
we
have
money
or
not
yeah?
But
I
already
spoke
with
bruce
about
this,
and
he
said
that
his
office
will
pay
the
hundred
dollars
if
we
can't
get
it
from
the
city,
because
my
concern
also
was
getting
it
in
a
timely
manner
for
these
students
you
know,
for
whatever
their
budget
is
so
and.
C
I
have
no
issue.
I
have
no
issue,
it's
just
that
as
a
formality.
We
need
to
know
for
the
future
that
this
is
one
of
the
budget
committee
will
look
at
this
and
say
this
is
a
reason
why
we
need
such
money.
A
Guillermo
is
this
something
that
you
could
bring
up
in
your
committee
to
both
in
terms
of
a
process
and
also
going
to
the
city
saying
we
really
need
to
know
now.
How
do
we
get
our
hundred
dollars?
Okay,
great,
I
know
the
city
can
take
three
four
months
to
pay
things.
So
I
really
hope
that's
not
the
case
here,
but
we
have
no
way
of
knowing
so
okay.
I
A
I
A
I
I
A
G
A
A
We'll
come
back
to
plumbing
billy
wrote
a
statement,
a
very
powerful
statement
about
monkey
pox.
Just
yesterday.
I
believe
we
had
the
first
fatality
in
the
united
states
from
monkey
pox
or
no
no
was
it
reinfection
and
then
fatality.
I
don't,
I
don't
know
the
specifics,
but
has
everyone
read
the
monkey
pop
statement.
G
G
C
I
have
just
one
small
edit
in
the
statistic
section
to
change
american
indian
to
native
american
and
native
alaskan.
B
C
As
written
second,
with
the
edit
small
edit
as
amended
as
amended.
E
A
A
Okay,
great
we've
approved
this
statement.
We
will
distribute
it,
we
will
go
to
maria
and
ask
her
to
distribute
it
on
behalf
of
the
commission,.
B
A
It's
a
thing:
it's
a
thing
and
we
should
talk
about
monkey
pox,
probably
a
little
bit
more.
We
have
some
more.
You
know
in
time
as
a
the
impact
it's
happening
on
pittsburgh,
but
we
definitely
need
to
move
on
so.
Okay,
marcus.
Are
you
back.
A
Great,
then,
that
keeps
us
short
and
sweet
to
the
point.
So
we
can
move
on
we'll
talk
about
that
next
month.
How
to
connect
community
organizations
to
culturally
competent
lgbtqia
resources.
A
Our
role
as
a
facilitating
interactions
between
the
public
lgbtq
organizations
and
then
the
larger
community
and
guillermo
had
that
is
right.
Guillermo
brought
something
to
our
attention
about
a
request
that
he
had
received.
Do
you
want
to?
Can
you
do
like
two
or
three
minutes
on
that
caramel.
I
Yes
sure
we
are
trying
to
address
a
an
issue
in
has
come
out
in
the
hispanic
community.
We
respect
with
respect
to
teenage
members
of
the
community
where.
I
You
know
they're
trying
to
see
what
we
can
do,
how
they
can
get
advice
or
how
they
can
get
help
simply
because
in
our
culture
we
are
sometimes
people
are
coming
from
different
countries
that
grew
up
in
different
places
and
the
topic
of
being
lgbtq.
I
I
applause
may
be
interpreted
as
something
that
diabolic
or
something
from
that
is
not
right
to
address
it.
That
way
so,
and
so
we
would
like
to
be
able
to
do
something
to
to
that
effect,
whether
it's
going
to
have
some
kind
of
conversations
with
the
teenage
members
or
also
with
parents
at
a
community
level,
or
so
we
don't
know
yet,
but
so
that's
where
we
are
now.
A
So
the
question
for
us-
and
we
may
just
have
to
revisit
this
in
in
october-
is
how
we
make
referrals
when
we
have
a
specific
request
like
this.
A
A
Kathy
you're,
not
on
mute
there
you
go.
Certainly
you
know.
Many
of
the
groups
represented
on
the
commission
are
probably
could
weigh
in
on
some
of
this,
but
we
we.
So
we
need
to
address
the
specific
request
here,
as
well
as
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
make
referrals.
Unfortunately,
you
know
our
community
isn't
united.
A
I
don't
know
if
that's
unfortunate
or
not,
but
sometimes
you
know,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
fair
and
balanced
and
and
doing
our
job.
So
does
anybody
have
suggestions
on
the
resources
that
might
address
guillermo's,
specific
requests
around
cultural
competency
and
lgbtq
identity
within
the?
I
believe
you
said
hispanic
community
specifically,
I
don't
want
to
say
you
know,
use
a
different
term.
So
is
that
something
hugh
lane
can
work
on
or
do
you
have
those
tools
or.
D
I
think
that
that's
something
that
we
can
get
at
with
our
collaborators.
You
know
we
know
that
we
can't
do
everything,
and
so
we've
we've
established
some
partnerships
with
journey
and
casa,
specifically
in
the
syria
guillermo.
So
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
with
you
and
just
get
a
little
bit.
I
have
to
say
I'm
not
sure
exactly
exactly
how
to
refer
you
or
give
you
some
information,
but
I
know
that
there's
a
couple
of
programs
that
are
happening.
D
We
can
either
serve
as
a
connector
or
we
can
help
explain,
sort
of
how
we
run
programs
collaboratively
and
then
talk
about
arise
which
might
be
another
program.
That's
of
interest
for
youth
as
well,
who
it's
it's
largely
a
youth,
immigrant,
international
activity
and
and
subgroup
so
happy
to
provide
contact
there
and
while,
while
I'm
at
it,
I
thought
just
generally
sort
of
speaking
to
this
issue.
I
think
you
know.
D
So
I
think
my
recommendation
would
not
be
for
us
to
try
to
duplicate
I'm
not
saying
that
that's
what's
on
the
table,
but
I
would
not
recommend
that
we
try
to
duplicate
efforts
that
other
organizations
have
been
working
at
for
years,
but
simply
when
people
reach
out
to
us
as
a
point
of
referral
which
isn't
going
to
be
all
the
time
and
not
everyone
that
we
do
our
best
to
connect
with
one
another
to
find
as
many
resources
that
seem
like
they
would
be
a
good
fit
and
allow
that
person
choice
in
terms
of
like
what
might
make
the
most
sense
for
them,
based
on
whatever
factors
are
most
important
where
they
live.
D
I
Yes,
no
thank
you,
and
I
understand
that
it's
the
case,
and
you
know
we're
also
here
to
help
to
to
address
language
or
cultural
balance.
I
think
that
will
be
our
contribution,
hours
and
and
obviously
any
of
the
other
latino
organizations.
A
I
believe
that
our
concern
here
was
not
creating
a
resource
list
so
much
as
what
is
our
process.
When
someone
raises
something
I
think
internally,
it
would
be
perfectly
appropriate
to
throw
it
into
the
email
to
say
I'm
looking
for
like
in
gamer's
case,
just
as
just
because
it's
a
concrete
example
to
say
someone
asked
me
for
this:
does
anyone
have
any
suggestions
like
that's?
Okay
to
do
and
people
shouldn't
hold
back
because
that's
helping
people
in
the
community,
which
is
our?
A
Why
we're
here
so
and
then
looking
at
ways
when
we
received
inquiries,
maybe
through
our
email
or
facebook
or
just
privately,
you
know
the
o'donnell
caller
family
came
to
lenny's
attention
through
someone
that
he
knew
and
he
brought
it
to
us,
and
so
I
agree,
options
are
good
creating
yet
another
community
calendar
resource
list
is
not
a
great
deaf
person
which
leads
us
into
the
issue
of
lgbtqia
history
month
and
other
lgbtqia.
A
We're
talking
about
visibility
days,
awareness
days,
not
talking
about
creating
a
calendar
of
our
own,
like
creating
a
calendar
for
us
to
reference,
there's
so
many
visibility
days
that
we
thought
and
we've
just
created
a
new
one
with
protect
trans
youth.
In
so
we
could
potentially
create
a
google
calendar
and
plug
in
the
days
that
we
know
of
not
the
events,
not
not
fundraisers,
and
things
like
that.
But
actually,
like
do
people
know
that
there's
such
a
thing
as
pronouns
day
in
october
and
just
to
have
that
in
one
central
space.
A
There's
no,
we
don't
have
like
a
emotion
on
this
or
anything
right
now.
It's
just
more
of
a
general
new
topic
to
bring
up
october
is
so
packed
with
days
of
the
month.
I
can
tell
you
personally
that,
if
you're
curious
about
it,
I
just
go
to
wikipedia
and
type
in
lgbt
awareness
days
and
you'll
pull
up
an
international
calendar,
and
it's
wikipedia
you
know
it's.
It
has
its
pros
and
cons,
but
it
is
pretty
helpful,
but
october
is
just
jam-packed.
I
think
there's
like
14
different
things
happening
in
in
that
month.
A
That
are
but
it's
great
it's
great
to
see
so
much
like
diversity
and
how
we
take
a
moment
to
celebrate
people.
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
we're
coming
up
next
week
on
bisexual
awareness
by
visibility
day
by
visibility
week
in
some
cases
it's
the
22nd,
I
believe,
22nd
23rd.
A
We
probably
should
make
a
little
statement
about
that.
It's
very
important
by
community
is
vastly
neglected
in
our
community,
not
just
pittsburgh
but
across
across
the
country
so
but
we'll
keep
moving,
because
we've
got
to
get
some
other
stuff
done
any
other.
Any
any
comments
on
that
question.
We
don't
have
a
movement
but
emotion,
okay,
local
legislative
policy,
update
on
anti-lgbtqia
actions
in
the
state
on
the
state
level.
A
There
are
still
three
active
pieces
of
legislation,
a
library
book
banning
bill,
a
don't
say,
gay
bill,
and
I'm
so
sorry
I
don't
have
the
third
one
at
the
tip
of
my
time.
No,
that
was
already
that.
A
Yeah,
that
was
the
only
one
that
was
vetoed
it,
it
passed
it
vetoed,
and
so
it's
dead.
The
session
ends
this
year,
so
they'll
have
to
start
over
in
january
with
the
new
newly
seated
members
of
the
general
assembly
in
the
pennsylvania
senate.
I'm
sure
all
of
these
will
be
back
and
you
know,
hopefully
we
could
be
prepared
to
engage
them.
We
are
seeing
school
districts.
Is
it?
Is
it?
Is
it
hempfield,
I
believe,
in
what
westmoreland
county
passed
a
policy
this
spring
after
the
governor
vetoed
this
bill?
A
That
would
change
their
basically,
you
can't
play
on
in
their
school,
so
they
would
not
allow
trans
kids
to
play
on
the
team
that
you
know
they
want
to
play
and
which
is
heinous,
and
my
my
contacts
at
p
flag
told
me
that
this
is
just
going
to
keep
happening
in
there,
especially
in
the
rural
community.
So
we
should
definitely
pay
attention
to
that,
and
maybe
it.
E
Is
it
is
permissible
by
the
piaa
rules?
The
pia
puts
this,
the
the
decisions
on
this
issue
to
the
individual
districts.
So
if
hampshire
were
to
pass
such
a
you
know
such
an
ordinance
or
yeah,
I
mean
such
a
restriction
they're
within
their
rights,
so.
A
Well,
I
understand
from
p
flag-
and
you
know
again-
I
haven't
looked
at
it
too
closely.
Is
that
the
way
the
league
rules
right
right
now,
it's
up
to
the
superintendent
or
the
principals
and
they're
making
decisions
based
on
the
realities
of
their
students,
as
they
do
with
other
things
that
they're
entrusted
to
do
this
is
the
school
board
making
a
general
policy
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
individual
needs
of
the
teams
or
the
or
the
players
themselves?
A
E
E
It
it's
going
to
be
up
to
every
individual
school
district,
how
you
know
how
they
set
their
athletic
rules.
But
if,
if
I
mean
if
it
is
a
district
that
permits
the
school
board
to
make
those
decisions,
then
yes
they
were.
They
are
within
their
rights
to
do
so
as
absurd,
as
that
may
be.
E
The
pia
has
really
punted
this
to
the
individual
districts,
and
I
mean
the
individual,
pia
districts
and
even
the
individual
school
districts
themselves,
and
even
I
mean
really
down
to
the
high
school
level,
or
I
I
guess
at
all
levels,
not
just
high
school
but
yeah.
I
mean
in
the
absence
of
an
of
a
law
that
is
going
to
prevent
districts
from
doing
that
which
we're
never
going
to
you
know
is
never
going
to
happen.
Yeah
I
mean
what
what
hempfield
did
is
scotia.
A
E
So
it
would
be
possible
for
the
pia
to
take
a
stand
right,
but
they
have
not
been
willing
to
do
so
so
far
and
don't
hold
your
breath.
G
A
We
so
what
we
also
have
to
pay
attention
to
is
what
impact
this
is
having
on
our
kids
and
like
what
what
is
there
something
we
could
do
to
bolster
them
or
or
offset
this,
or
you
know
I
don't
know
any
other
legislative
issues.
Billy.
Are
you
aware
of
anything?
I
know
we're
getting
close
we're
over.
Forgive
me
it's!
No!
A
No!
Okay!
That's
quick!
Okay!
Hispanic
heritage
month
starts
today
september,
15th
through
october
15th.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
acknowledge
that
all
these
announcements
are
going
to
drag
us
into
we're
not
going
to
have
enough
time
to
do
what
they
we
should
do
remembering
tony
silvestri.
A
We
also
had
other
deaths
of
voted
members
of
our
community
in
the
last
month.
It's
just
been
really
very
sad,
maggie
ritchie.
I
can't
think
of
their
names
off
the
top
of
my
head,
and
I
maybe
at
the
beginning
of
next
month
we
should
take
a
minute
to
just
you
know.
Tony
silvestri,
like
is
a
monumental
impact
in
our
community,
but
at
the
same
time,
so
are
those
other
people
who
deserve
the
attention
and
so
does
hispanic
heritage
month
and
we're
out
of
time.
A
So
I
don't
want
to
shortchange
anyone
so,
but
richard
is
that,
okay
with
you,
if
we
just
maybe
talk
about
that
in
october,.
C
Yes,
because
there
are
very
important
people
in
our
community
and
we
don't
want
to
skip
over
it
lightly,
right.
C
A
I
agree,
I
think,
maybe
we
need
to
look
at
how
we're
going
to
do
this
moving
forward
so
that
it's
respectful
but
yet
efficient
so
and
hispanic
heritage
month
goes
into
october.
Well,
the
chance
in
october
to
discuss
that.
I
think
it's
really
important,
given
the
comments
that
camera
brought
up
before
that
we
do
that.
Do
we
have
any
other
announcements?
A
No,
oh,
that
was
a
sign
that
we
should
leave
now
all
right.
Well,
it's
been
a
very
busy
meeting.
We
got
a
lot
done,
I'm
so
glad
that
we
had
this
time
together
and
I
hope
that
we'll
see
everybody
back
in
october
and
we'll
see
you
at
these
different
events,
and
you
know
I
really
appreciate
all
of
you
and
I
guess
I'll
see
you
in
email
any
other
comments
before
I
hit.
Oh
I'm
just
going
to
leave.
So
can
you.
A
E
C
This
is
the
50th
anniversary
of
his
passing.
G
F
A
A
This
is
so
great
to
learn
all
this
stuff.
I
I
really
wish
we
had
more
time
to
talk
about
it,
but
please
feel
free
to
email
all
of
us
with
information
you
know,
because
we
can
then
share
it
just
make
sure
we
know
that
we
can-
and
I
think
that's
really
important.
So
I
want
to
prepare
you
october.
22Nd
is
my
birthday,
so
I
will
be
accepting
lots
of
gifts
and
cat
food.
Please
and.
A
I'm
I'm
really
tired.
My
wife
isn't
here
to
reign
me
in
so
all
right,
I'm
gonna
go
good
night.
Everyone.
I
will
see
you
on
facebook
and
thanks
for
a
really
productive
meeting.
