HRC 100 for LGBTQ+ inclusivity reflects policies not experience By Lily Alexander @llilyalexander
Albuquerque received a score of 100 on LGBTQ+ inclusivity in laws, policies and services from the Human Rights Campaign, however the rating does not entirely reflect the experiences of Queer people in Albuquerque. The annual HRC Municipal Equality Index (MEI) Scorecard evaluates non-discrimination laws, city employers, city services, law enforcement and leadership on LGBTQ+ equality. It equally accounts for inclusivity related to sexual orientation and gender identity. For the second year, the HRC gave Albuquerque maximum points in each category for 2023. Marshall Martinez – executive director of Equality New Mexico (EQNM), a statewide LGBTQ+ organization – said he agrees with the rating, but said it does not fully represent what it is like to be Queer in Albuquerque. “Just because the city has all of the right policies in place and is
doing the right things in terms of non-discrimination doesn’t mean that people who live in Albuquerque don’t still experience discrimination or oppression in some way,” Martinez said. Madison Otero, co-chair of Juniper Reimagined, a Queer and transgender student alliance at the University of New Mexico, said she understood why Albuquerque would be given a 100 policy-wise, but brought up imperfections in the city and University’s culture. “Last year, there were a lot of protests for Turning Point and speakers brought to campus. Prior semesters they had a really transphobic speaker, but (that’s) not law-related,” Otero said. “You can’t really expect (that) because all the laws are there that (also) means everybody’s totally cool with everything.” The HRC sends a draft of the MEI to EQNM and the City each year, providing an opportunity for the entities to respond if they feel measurements are inaccurate, Martinez said. The EQNM does not impact the final rating, but can influence the HRC’s research. If Martinez had input in the
categories the MEI assessed, he said he would add more measurements around law enforcement – given the disproportionate policing – arresting and prosecution of LGBTQ+ people nationwide. In 2021, the Prison Policy Initiative analyzed a year of National Survey on Drug Use and Health data and found that gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals were 2.25 times more likely to be arrested than heterosexual individuals. “When the vast majority of people who interact with law enforcement are afraid for their lives, what does that feel like for trans women of color? For Queer people who already are over-policed and harassed?” Martinez said. The HRC’s 2023 MEI Report notes that “many states obtaining 100 scores on the MEI can’t promise 100 score experiences for its residents. The experience for Queer folks in Albuquerque, Hunter Teubner — Juniper Reimagined Communications Officer — said, can range greatly. “(Albuquerque’s) definitely not safe for everyone, especially the unhoused members of our community,” Teubner said. “But I’d

say for the most part, there is a lot here for us and the general vibe of the community – at least UNM – is very accepting.” The HRC rated a total of 506 cities in the United States in 2023 – 129 of which received scores of 100. This is nine more than received perfect scores in 2022. The average score in 2023 was 71; five cities received a score of zero, according to the MEI report. “We have to remember that LGBTQ people are Black and Brown. They are women. They’re people
who live in poverty. They’re people who lack health care access, and this measures one set of things, but it does not paint the entire picture of what the experience is for LGBTQ people,” Martinez said.
Palestinians have been displaced, according to Al Jazeera. In October, Al Jazeera reported Gaza faced severe shortages of basic necessities and a lack of access to humanitarian aid due to the ongoing war with Israel. On Dec. 15, Israel announced they would temporarily reopen an access point, Al Jazeera reported. The existing strength of the relations of the Queer and Black Indigenous — People of Color (BI-POC) centered biking collectives in Albuquerque like Cosmic Cycles and StoryRiders — provided them the tools to organize together to bike for a cease-fire, Esparza said. “It feels (like a) really important call to do through biking, which has historically been a sport dominated by white people and white men, and it’s a big deal that the people who are putting this on across the country are primarily led by BI-POC cyclists,” Esparza said. The functionality of a bike allows it to be a tool for access and mutual aid efforts. Co-organizer Landis Pulido discussed the various ways a bike can be used with a basket or pull a cart and how it is an affordable mode of transportation, referring to Freewheel Mobile Aid in Albuquerque — a mutal aid group that distributes necessities to unhoused folks weekly. The way biking collectives can
serve as mutual aid — community-based support and resources — goes beyond the functionality as well, Pulido said, as it also provides a space for folks to come together in a community to honor the earth. “Think about movement, and moving our bodies, moving our Spirit, moving our breath, as part of our collective medicines to take care of each other. Even more so during these times that we’re witnessing genocide across these lands, across these waters,” Pulido said. Ongoing action in solidarity with Palestine is important to keep the war prevelent in people’s minds, Alheli Caton-Garcia said — a cyclist and community activist who attended the bike ride. Organizing around common interests like biking, Caton-Garcia said, can both increase attendance and allow for the formation of lasting community relationships. “It’s important to show up and continue to disrupt things and make everyone aware that this is still happening. I’m sure that people know, but continue to spread awareness. It’s important that all people on all occupied lands receive liberation and get justice. Real justice,” Caton-Garcia said. The ride was attended by individuals of all generations. Caton-Garcia, who rode with her father, said attending actions with family can allow for intergene-
rational activism to occur and to best address the issues people of all ages face. “With an intergenerational modality — if you live in that way — you can get liberation not only for the young children but the parents, grandparents, great grandparents and continue to make sure that we are collectively – not just as a community, but as a family – engaging in efforts to liberate one another,” Caton-Garcia said. Showing up in solidarity with a movement can exist in many ways, Pulido and Esparza said. The goal of the ride was to continue to form a community, create spaces for collective resistance and show support to Palestinian people. “Solidarity can look like biking, can be through conversations, going to solidarity actions, having writing sessions, being able to even sit with water and prayer, and in connection to the multitude of survival and resilience across these lands and to our people,” Pulido said. “Even more so, knowing that Palestine is here with us and we’re here with them.”

Biking collectives ride in support of Palestine

A banner that reads “Free Palestine” hangs between two trees at Robinson Park before the bike ride in solidarity with the Gaza Sunbirds on Saturday, Jan. 6.
By Maddie Pukite @maddogpukite With Palestinian flags attached to bikes and watermelon bandanas, a few dozen cyclists gathered in Robinson Park in support of a cease-fire in Gaza on Saturday, Jan 6. The group rode five miles to stand in solidarity with Palestine and to fundraise for the Gaza Sunbirds and the Middle East Children’s Alliance. The Gaza Sunbirds are a para-athletic cycling team that, since the war with Israel, has transitioned from cycling to providing aid and distributing resources to their community. Tannia Esparza,
a co-organizer, said the ride in Albuquerque was in response to a call by Native Women Ride for people across the nation to ride in solidarity with the Gaza Sunbirds. “We’re going to need places to ground us and to hold our collective grief, and we’re also going to need spaces like this where we can uplift each other and re-energize with hope, to move our bodies, to ground ourselves with the land that we’re a part of that sustains us and to build community with each other because it doesn’t stop at a ceasefire. The work is ongoing,” Esparza said. Since Oct. 7, the Gaza Ministry of Health has reported over 22 thousand Palestinian deaths, and since Oct. 13, more than a million

Get away with Getaway Adventures By Elizabeth Secor @esecor2003
Getaway Adventures – a program offered through the University of New Mexico Outdoor Adventure Center – provides students with the opportunity to further their learning through group trips around New Mexico and the country. Charles Gwinn, the OAC Operations Specialist, is in charge of the
Getaway Adventures program and said he strives to create a multi-layered experience. “These experiences allow students an affordable path to be active outdoors, learn a new skill, expand cultural knowledge and build community,” Gwinn said. This spring, there are 12 Getaway Adventures available from snowshoe summits to relaxing days spent at Ojo Santa Fe Spa. All except the “Arizona Adventure” are available to UNM students for under $100.

“Pricing has several factors that influence the final outcome. Students are given discounted rates compared to faculty, staff and community members,” Gwinn said. “I try to keep it as affordable as possible for students.” Most adventures have a group of about six to 10 participants, along with a waitlist in case a slot becomes available Gwinn said. After registering for an adventure, there is a preparation period for participants. “After registration, participants receive a letter outlining the trip
and any equipment (or) supplies,” Gwinn said. “Each trip has a required pre-trip meeting to go over logistics, meet fellow participants and guides, answer any questions and have gear fitted.” Red chilis appear on each adventure to indicate the skill and athletic difficulty they may pose for an individual. However, participants do not need to be exceptionally skilled or athletic for every adventure Gwinn said. The range of options available gives those who are interested the
chance to attend an adventure. “The Intergalactic Adventure, Turquoise Trail and Tinkertown Tour, as well as Arizona Adventure are good starting points for anyone looking to have a relaxing getaway,” Gwinn said. “They are all designed for any experience or fitness level.” Elizabeth Secor is a freelance reporter for the Daily Lobo.

Men’s basketball: living legends show for New Mexico’s birthday game

Guard Donovan Dent (#2) bringing the ball up the court at the game against Wyoming at The Pit on Saturday, Jan. 6.
LOBO SPORTS By BillyJack Davidson @BillyJackDL This past Saturday, Jan. 6, the University of New Mexico men’s basketball defeated the Wyoming Cowboys 77-60. The game took place on the 112th anniversary of New Mexico’s statehood and living legends came to celebrate it with fans. Former Lobo and Los Angeles Laker Michael Cooper and former Laker Shaquille O’Neal were present at The Pit supporting the Lobos in their gold and red jerseys. The Pit felt electric even before the game started and kept growing as the game went on. The first half started off strong with Nelly Junior Joseph (#23) stealing a pass and securing the first points of the game. From then on, the Lobos explosiveness, led by Jaelen House (#10), brought a strong offense and defense presence. Both Dent’s and the team’s scrappiness led to a couple of clean steals and great ball movement throughout the match. They finished the half up with 17 points at 39-22. While House kept the Cowboys on their toes for the majority of the game, Donovan Dent (#2) kept the offensive on theirs. Dent finished the game with the longest court time at 31 minutes and led the team in scoring with 21 points.
After the game, Dent talked about how the team was able to recover from their loss against Colorado State on Tuesday, Jan 2. “The game was good after Tuesday. We just had to put it behind us and step up, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still have work to do moving forward,” Dent said. The second half saw the Cowboys attempt a comeback with players Mason Walters (#33), Akuel Kot (#13) and Cam Manyawu (#5) stepping up and making baskets. The Cowboys brought the score to 43-35, but the Lobos kept the lead by racking up foul after foul and making their free throws. The electricity the Lobo fans had at The Pit continued and turned into the crowd expressing their disappointment at some of the referee’s calls on fouls. But their disappointment would not last long as JT Toppin (#15) secured a two-handed dunk off a great pass from House. As the fourth quarter started off, the Cowboys took a timeout – wanting to stop the Lobos momentum as the lead began to grow to 53-44, but the Lobos had other plans. House came off the bench and secured himself a stylish behind-the-back layup; Tru Washington (#3) stole another pass and secured himself a basket back-to-back. Head Coach Richard Pitino talked about the energy that Washington creates for the team.
“That energy – making plays at the rim, getting steals. It’s good to have him healthy and back for sure. He does a great job at getting to the basket and taking those high percentage shots,” Pitino said. Both teams held onto their strengths and forged forward. By the second media timeout of the half, the score had reached 66-54 with the Lobos in the lead, and they kept their lead for the remainder of the game. House got one last chance to steal a pass and break away before the buzzer went off, ending the game 77-60. The Lobos now stand at 13-2 overall and 1-1 in conference play. They are 8-0 at home but will be going on the road to Reno where they’ll play against the University of Nevada on Tuesday, Jan. 9. They will be back in town Saturday, Jan. 13 where they play against San Diego State University. BillyJack Davidson is a beat reporter at the Daily Lobo.

JT Toppin claims his Lobo fame
By Francesca Cicconetti @fran_cicconetti
JT Toppin has been named the Mountin West’s Freshman of the Week four times this season and was recently ranked at #12 in Andy Katz’s top freshmen. However, he said basketball wasn’t always his sport of choice. He started playing football but after watching basketball with his grandparents, he decided to switch it up. From Dallas, Texas, freshman forward for the Lobo basketball team, Toppin, has been making his mark at The Pit. With his ability to produce on both ends of the court, Toppin has a talent that is helping push the Lobos basketball ahead this season. Toppin has continued to excel on the court and work to make a name for himself. With 17 points and 11 rebounds at No. 13 Colorado State on Tuesday, Jan. 2, Toppin is the second Lobo freshman to get a double-double against a ranked opponent. Through the first 14 games of the season, he’s averaged 7.9 rebounds and has totaled 20 blocks, leading the team in both stats. He’s also had 19 steals while averaging 12.7 points per game. After Head Coach Richard Pi-
tino brought the Lobos to a 22-12 overall last season, he said it was important to recruit talent like Toppin to keep the team’s momentum going and do better this year. Pitino has high hopes for Toppin but knows that it is impossible to foresee what he will bring to the program as the weeks go on and the teams get more competitive. “I can’t predict the future certainly, but he’s been pretty impressive after we’ve played 14 games,” Pitino said. Two of the big reasons Toppin ultimately decided to join the University of New Mexico’s program were Pitino’s coaching style and how the Lobos play on the court. “I like Coach Pitino. He coaches like my high school coach; he keeps you accountable,” Toppin said. “I like the play style. They get the bigs involved.” Playing with Pitino also means getting to play in The Pit. With a seating capacity of 15,411, The Pit is a loud environment that is constantly packed with eager and excited New Mexican fans. That type of energy can make a player nervous, but Toppin said he has gotten past the nerves and embraced the roar of the fans. “The fans, they keep you going cause they’re so supportive,” Toppin said.
As a freshman in college and as a student athlete, burnout is almost inevitable, so it’s important to work to avert it or minimize the effects of it when it hits. Pitino said he has been keeping this in mind as the season drives on. “JT is certainly – production wise – phenomenal,” Pitino said. “He is still a freshman and it’s still extremely early in the season. Freshman tend to hit a wall so that’s one of the things we’ve got to be cognisant of certainly because he’s important to the team and we can’t have him hit that wall.” Toppin said he knows it’s important to keep his drive up as conference games will begin to demand more from him and the team as a whole. “I try to play the same every game, get rebounds, help my team and play with a high motor, and do everything to try to help the team win,” Toppin said. “Winning with my teammates – that’s the best part.” Francesca Cicconetti is a beat reporter at the Daily Lobo.

Review: The Iron Claw might be the feel-bad movie of the year, but it’s worth the heartache By Sadie Hopkins @DailyLobo In a cinematic climate that celebrates biopics as the few films that can reach commercial success, it is refreshing to see a biopic produced with passion and good intentions toward the subjects in question. “The Iron Claw” follows the Von Erich family – a clan of wrestlers rumored to have been “cursed” due to their history of tragic happenings. As a long-time wrestling fan, I couldn’t have been more thrilled to hear that A24 planned to produce this film, and it was worth the wait. Wrestling has often been a topic of great divide and was touched on in the film itself. Pam (Lily James) questions Kevin (Zac Efron) about the reality of the sport, making the film’s dramatic and intimate tone even more refreshing and effective. “The Iron Claw” presents the great successes and terrible tragedies that surrounded the family through Kevin’s perspective.
Writer and director Sean Durkin remained mostly faithful to the brothers’ stories. However, Durkin did alter the stories to be “less tragic” to ensure the movie’s completion, according to a review from the Los Angeles Times. Although I am saddened to know that the story of Chris Von Erich – the brother whose story was cut from the script – was not told in “The Iron Claw,” I do agree that another death would have made the film too tragic and may have even eliminated its rewatchability altogether. While those familiar with the Von Erichs likely knew what the film would entail, casual movie-goers may be shocked to watch a virtually untouchable, incredibly powerful family fall apart on screen. However, these tragedies were handled tastefully and artistically. The audience feels Kevin’s grief and pain as well as his dedicated resilience. The film’s two-hour runtime never feels dragged out or bloated; it allows the characters to be properly introduced and explored, and provides plenty of opportunities for creative and
brilliant cinematographer, Mátyás Erdély, to shine. Efron, though sometimes falling a bit short of the dramatic prowess required to fully envelop the audience in realistic grief, mostly provides a great portrayal of Kevin. Efron and his co-stars – Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, among many others – adopted incredible physiques reminiscent of the classic image of a professional wrestler. Each brother is given plenty of room to cement themselves as individuals; their performances take a dramatic turn away from loving and energetic brothers around the halfway point as things begin to look bleak for the family. Their relationships are rich and believable, the costume design is perfectly exaggerated and the sets invoke the smoky, gritty image of the era. “The Iron Claw” also features an incredible soundtrack, using artists such as Rush and Blue Öyster Cult to tie together a gorgeous picture of 1970s-1980s American wrestling. The film uses cyclical and call-back writing to tighten its
BOX LUNCH 95 SPECIAL $9
broad coverage, creating a familiar and intimate feel for the family and their story. “The Iron Claw’s” strength lies in its visuals, its dedicated actors and its well-rounded production. Although there are elements that could have been sharpened or polished, it is definitely worth the watch for wrestling and film fans alike.
