"We were alarmed to learn of what was written on the sign. Dr. Stacy Lane is a well-respected physician providing much needed medical care to our community.

The Delta Foundation of Pittsburgh is an organization "dedicated to improving the quality of life for and visibility of the LGBT community," according to their Facebook page.
