With little discussion, Pittsburgh City Council on Tuesday unanimously passed three bills intended to provide further safeguards to LGBTQ Pittsburghers. Councilor Barb Warwick introduced the bills at the end of June to extend more protections to the local queer community. Two of the bills were designed to de-emphasize enforcement of any future law restricting the LGBTQ community from participating in otherwise legal activities and design avenues for reporting medical discrimination. The first bill prohibits the withholding or denial of “elective medical care which would normally be provided to a person, but for that person’s real or perceived gender identity or expression.” For example, if a medical provider denied breast augmentation surgery to a trans patient on the basis of their gender identity, residents could report the provider to the city’s Commission on Human Relations. The second bill aims to pre-emptively shield the LGBTQ community against being barred from society by future federal legislation Situated in a pretty spot where the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers join, Pittsburgh is the second-largest city in Pennsylvania. It is a city historically known for two things – steel and bridges – of them throughout the city, in fact. But beyond being known as a city with a rich industrial heritage, it is also a metropolis known for being warm, welcoming, and progressive, and one that is very popular with the LGBTQ community. A Peek at Pittsburgh’s History Traditionally, Pittsburgh has been known as a steel town noun to titan Andrew Carnegie, and hub of the steel and coal mining industries. While Pittsburgh is certainly haughty of its prosperous industrial legacy, it is also confident of its role in United States history dating back to as drawn-out ago as the mids when it played an essential part in the French and Indian War, and later the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, where is served as an important underground railroad hub.
