This is a video from my new show, Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.

In this video, I report on new developments in the struggle for equal human rights for LGBT Pennsylvanians, including the Democratic state Attorney General Kathleen Kane not defending the state marriage equality ban in a new court case, Montgomery County Register of Wills D. Bruce Hanes issuing marriage licenses to LGBT couples for the first time in Pennsylvania history, and the reasons they gave for doing what they did.

Stay tuned throughout this week for two more PA Headlines, including:

Bill Gray, US Congressman from PA Who Broke Down Racial Barriers in Washington, DC throughout the 1970's, Dies at 71

Voter ID Turnout Suppression Tactics on Trial (Again)

As well as The Breakdown, which this week will feature the second half of my exclusive interview with Sue Lyons, author of the resolution calling for a moratorium on fracking recently formally adopted as the official position of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party about fracking and her resolution.

All that plus Counterpoint PA's special homage to Keith Olbermann, the Worst Pennsylvanians of the Week!
