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.

We applaud the Pittsburgh City Council for paving the way to challenge transphobic denials of life-saving medical care and for standing against the growing trend of bills targeting the LGBTQIA+ community.
As anti-trans, anti-drag, and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric floods statehouses across the country, Pittsburgh is staking out a different path: one that centers dignity, self-determination, and mutual protection.
Pittsburgh City Council Passes Bills to Protect LGBTQ+ Pittsburghers
In a sweeping move to defend queer life in the face of escalating national attacks, Pittsburgh City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to pass three landmark ordinances that provide new legal protections to trans residents, LGBTQIA+ communities, and sex workers across the city. The legislation, spearheaded by Councilmember Barb Warwick and introduced during Pride Month, marks a significant shift in how Pittsburgh approaches queer safety; not just with symbolic gestures, but with enforceable law.

“Our mission statement is to affirm and celebrate LGBTQ identity through the unifying power of music,” said Douglas McIntyre, who became the group’s president in early 2023. “It’s hard for us to do that if we are sticking with this name that was developed to be less open about who we are.”
