Planned Parenthood has confirmed that its Downtown Pittsburgh location will close Jan. 23 and its Greensburg location will close Saturday. The Bridgeville clinic closed its doors in December. It’s unclear how long the clinics will remain closed.

Nearly half a dozen registered nurses and certified nurse practitioners left the organization for other jobs over the last several months, according to Michael J. Gibson, communications director for Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania (PPWP).

Planned Parenthood will continue to offer telehealth services during the closures for prescriptions and referrals. But patients seeking exams, STI testing and other care will have to find other providers.

I should take taken a selfie because I wore a flag pole with the lgbt flag (🏳️‍🌈 this one) outside of the drag show in Pensacola and blocked all the street preacher signs. I had to dance to keep the flag waving and I ran across streets to make the flag wave.

It was a hilarious battle between protest of the drag queen and pro queen side. like the protestors actually came prepared. like they had carolers, megaphones, pamphlets, and signs. There was a hostile side and a side that was more gentle and promoting Christianity.

the side i was on with the pro drag show was me and another person just doing what we can and having some really unexpected allies just pop up, and actually getting a lot of love for carrying around the lbgt flag. I did my best to say that the drag show didn't get money from the government and simple the venue (it was an asspull at the time but I actually guess right), that my message to all the street preachers was that Jesus died for drag queens, and just dancing and smiling trying to come off as nice as possible to everyone.

the two unexpected allies that I remember were a motorcyclist revving his engine as loud as possible to the preacher with a hateful sign and a guy above the venue drowning out everyone including the preachers with his band equipment.

I did talk to one of the street preachers hoping it would only be about a good sandwich shop in p-cola, but it ended up with me telling them that I am gonna love drag queens and immigrants [like how Jesus intended us].

I'm not in the news coverage because i showed up as they left
