Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents was established in December 2005 as an outgrowth from various radio appearances founder Sue Kerr made as Pittsburgh’s “unofficial lesbian correspondent.” Her original intent was to promote the positive things happening in Pittsburgh’s LGBTQ community — specifically focusing on media coverage and the letters to the editor submitted to regional papers.
She quickly became one of the city’s most well-known political bloggers for her rigorous exposure of LGBTQ issues. She attributes being labeled as a political blogger to the fact that simply living as an openly LGBTQ person, especially in socially conservative Southwestern Pennsylvania, is a political act. Saying something about it is an entirely new level of political.
Sue was born and raised in Pittsburgh, technically in West Mifflin right next to Century III Mall – may she rest in peace. She received her BA in Political Science from Marymount University and an MSW from the University of Pittsburgh. She is a fierce believer in the intersection of social justice and LGBTQ advocacy.
