» Activists raise nearly $200,000 to save an Orlando abortion clinic fined by the state

The Orlando grass-roots group of abortion rights activists, SWAN, has met and surpassed their fundraising goal to help save a local abortion clinic fined by the state over a restrictive, 24-hour waiting period law. Earlier this month, state health regulators fined the Center of Orlando for Women (one of just two abortion clinics in the city) $193,000 for alleged violations of a 2015 law that had been blocked by the courts until last spring. SWAN volunteers, who help protect patients from anti-abortion protesters outside of the clinic, launched a fundraiser to help the clinic cover the exorbitant cost (the clinic’s attorney had previously warned a $193k fine could put the clinic out of business). As of Sunday, Aug. 27, the group had crowdfunded the whole $193,000 — and then some, reaching over $197,000 by the following morning. “This was a TREMENDOUS FEAT and every single person who donated, all 5.5k of you, share in this success,” the group shared in a social media post. “EVERYONE stepped up to say #NOMORECLOSEDCLINICS.”

» Disney district firefighters

who supported DeSantis’ takeover of Reedy Creek now criticize move to eliminate perks

The chairman of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, a special district formerly known as Reedy Creek, last week defended a move to eliminate perks that provided access for district employees and their families to Disney World parks. During a special district meeting, two district firefighters and a retired firefighter questioned the decision, which is effectively the latest twist in the Reedy Creek DeSantis-versus-Disney debacle. The firefighters said that the park-related benefits were long viewed as an incentive to work for Reedy Creek, sharing that when the district changed hands, firefighters supported the move because they were “being stonewalled” by former district leaders and that “we were told that our jobs and our benefits were safe.” But district board Chairman Martin Garcia said the policy discriminated in favor of one business in the district over others. Also, he said the park-related benefits weren’t equitably used by employees and that the policy could be illegal. As a compromise, Garcia said the district is considering a measure to “gross up” all employee wages by $1,425.

» DeSantis-appointed Disney chief Glen Gilzean resigns from ethics commission

After being called out publicly, Glen Gilzean stepped down as chairman of the Florida Commission on Ethics last week — a position he maintained after accepting a $400,0000-a-year job as administrator of a revamped special district that includes Walt Disney World properties. A commission lawyer had said it would be “inconsistent” with state law for Gilzean to maintain his position as administrator of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District while serving on the commission. Gilzean was first appointed to an unpaid seat on the commission in 2019 and was reappointed by DeSantis in 2022. In May, Gilzean was appointed as administrator of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (formerly known as Reedy Creek). In a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office, Gilzean said after reviewing the matter with legal counsel, “prudence dictates that I discontinue serving in one of the two positions. Therefore, I respectfully tender my resignation from the Florida Commission on Ethics, effective immediately.” His resignation comes a week after the Florida Bulldog first reported Gilzean’s conflict of interest. The Bulldog’s ongoing and detailed coverage of the situation as it unfolded is worth a read.

» Court rejects UCF students’ lawsuits over early COVID-19 campus shutdown

Adding to a series of similar rulings across the state, an appeals court last Friday rejected two lawsuits alleging the University of Central Florida should be required to refund money to students because of a campus shutdown early in the COVID-19 pandemic. A panel of the 6th District Court of Appeal turned down arguments that UCF breached contracts by not providing on-campus services funded by student fees. Friday’s decisions only gave a detailed explanation of one student plaintiff’s case, saying a circuit judge dismissed it based on sovereign immunity, a legal concept that helps shield government agencies from liability. The UCF lawsuits were among numerous cases filed against colleges and universities in Florida and across the country after campuses were temporarily shut down because of the pandemic, forcing students to find alternate housing and take classes remotely. Many of the lawsuits have focused on seeking refunds of fees that students paid for such things as transportation, health-care and athletic services that were not provided because of the shutdowns.

» Florida approves harsh penalties for college employees who violate new anti-trans bathroom law

Florida public colleges will be required to update policies on restrooms and changing rooms to have separate facilities “based on biological sex at birth,” under a new rule approved by the State Board of Education that essentially makes it harder for trans employees to simply exist and work in public colleges. Under the rule, which also applies to campus housing, college restrooms and changing facilities must be “designated for exclusive use by males or females,” or unisex restrooms or changing facilities must be available. The measure calls for colleges to establish disciplinary procedures for administrators and instructional employees who violate the rule. The disciplinary actions could include verbal warnings, written reprimands and suspensions without pay. Two documented violations by faculty could result in termination. The LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Florida slammed the rule as part of what the group called an escalation of “anti-LGBTQ attacks.” The Florida Department of Education claims it’s part of a larger effort to “continue safeguarding” students. The rule stems from a law (HB 1521) approved by the Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis in May, which supporters dubbed the “Safety in Private Spaces Act” but LGBTQ-rights advocates labeled as discriminatory.

» Citizens, Florida’s home insurance of last resort, ordered to trim rate hikes Regulators have ordered the state-backed Citizens Property Insurance Corp. to revamp — and trim — its proposed rate increases. Amid explosive growth in its number of policies, Citizens this year asked the Office of Insurance Regulation for approval of an overall 13.3 percent rate increase, with 12 percent hikes for “multi-peril” policies on primary residences. A 12 percent increase would be the maximum allowed this year for those policies under a state law that limits how much Citizens can raise premiums. Florida Insurance Commissioner Michael Yaworsky signed an order last week that took issue with this. The order, posted on the state Office of Insurance Regulation website, directed Citizens to “calculate new, reduced, overall average statewide rate increases for the rate filings” covered by the order. Citizens officials contend rate increases are needed, in part, because Citizens broadly charges lower rates than private insurers. Citizens originally proposed rate increases to take effect Nov. 1 but later changed the date to Dec. 9. The Office of Insurance Regulation agreed with the change. Their order gave Citizens 30 days to revamp the rate proposal.

Orange County school district reaches impasse with teachers union over salary talks and working conditions

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER

Just weeks into the new school year, the Orange County school district has declared an impasse with the local teachers union, calling for a third party to step in to mediate talks over salaries and working conditions.

Both parties are battling it out over a labor contract covering about 14,000 educators in the Orange County school system. After two months, they’re struggling to reach an agreement on issues like pay that are reopened for discussion each year.

Needless to say, it’s a stressful time in public education: Florida educators are facing new, divisive policies governing what books they can have in their classrooms, what they can teach and their bathroom usage, all while grappling with an ongoing teacher shortage as well as a new state law that threatens the very existence of their union.

Union president Clinton McCracken, a former middle school art teacher at Howard Middle School, says this latest move by the district doesn’t help.“Morale is certainly affected by all combined together,” McCracken told Orlando Weekly

The union president criticized Orange County Public Schools in a statement released last Wednesday, sharing that the district has refused to meet educators’ demands for equitable pay raises for longtime teachers, addressing safety and maintenance issues in schools, and ensuring teachers’ health insurance costs don’t go through the roof, among other issues.

McCracken hopped on the phone with Orlando Weekly briefly last week to discuss the impasse, in between calls from the superintendent and teachers at two Orange County schools — Westpointe Elementary and MetroWest Elementary — experiencing emergency bathroom and sewage issues.

“Enough is enough,” McCracken said.“We cannot agree to a deal that devalues veteran teachers, imposes huge health insurance

increases, and ignores school safety concerns.”

Air conditioning issues in schools have been at the forefront of this, said McCracken, amid record-breaking heat in Florida.

The Orange County Classroom Teachers Association, representing 14,000 educators in public schools, wants the district to come up with a tracking system so teachers can at least keep tabs on work orders they submit. The district, per the union, rejected this.

The Orange CTA, affiliated with larger state and national labor unions, is also fighting to keep teachers from leaving in droves, deserting the school district of over 200,000 students.

Each year, the labor union reopens salary talks with the school district, and this year, as in years past, one of the most contentious issues on the table is ensuring equitable pay for teachers with seniority.

The union ties this call to action to students, whose education they say is directly affected by seasoned teachers leaving the profession and potentially unqualified professionals stepping in to fill the vacancies in their wake.

State law isn’t very friendly on this subject. Florida governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis likes to point to the highly publicized bonuses his administration throws at educators (while throwing their unions under the bus).

But, even with a demand from DeSantis to raise minimum teacher pay to $47,500, Florida still ranks near dead-last in average teacher pay (which is different from starting salary), and state law limits the raises that longtime teachers on continuing contracts can receive compared to educators on annual contracts.

Union leaders (not just in Orange County) say this leaves behind teachers with decades of experience. Some make little more than colleagues who are brand-new to the profession.

The difference in Orange County, according to McCracken, is

that other school districts in Florida, such as Broward and Osceola Counties, have addressed this by using a percentage algorithm for raises based on experience.

A spokesperson for the Orange County school district declined to answer specific questions from Orlando Weekly, but directed us to a webpage where the district claims they’re unable to do a percentage increase, citing the Florida Department of Education’s adherence to state statutes.

McCracken pushed back on this.

“Other districts are currently paying percentages to their employees and have been doing it for years,” he said. “Those pay structures have been approved by the Department of Education, so it’s concerning that in Orange County, [they] continue to say, ‘Well, it’s not allowed according to statute.’”

The district’s offer does include a $1,375 minimum cost-of-living adjustment (with higher raises for “effective” or “highly effective” educators), plus lump-sum “retention” supplements for teachers with at least five years on the job.

McCracken says it’s not good enough.

“Teachers are having difficulty paying their bills on a teacher salary, and many are leaving the profession because of it,” he said. “Many are also taking in roommates because they can’t afford their rent. They can’t afford to live in the neighborhood where they teach. … We have several people who have left the county, moved out of the county, because they can’t afford to live here.”

The union’s also calling on the district to compensate teachers for work performed outside the required workday, to give teachers more planning time, and to declare Juneteenth (June 19) an official OCPS holiday. “It says something about what our district stands for,” said McCracken.

The last major grievance is healthcare costs. After three years of staving off healthcare premium increases, the district says “changes” to existing health plans are necessary due to inflationary pressures.

That doesn’t sit well with the union, which demanded the district refrain from increasing healthcare costs: “There are proactive things that they could be doing where they wouldn’t have to be pushing these costs onto teachers, who are already underpaid.”

Representatives of the school district “walked away” from negotiations with the teachers union last Wednesday, according to McCracken, declaring an impasse for the second time in three years.

Usually, when this happens, the case goes to a special magistrate with the Public Employees Relations Commission, who will hear arguments from both sides and issue their own recommendation. If both sides don’t agree to it, then it goes to the school board for a public hearing.

Hillsborough County teachers union went through the same lengthy process over their contract for the last school year, concerning different salary issues — and declared victory in March.

Here in Orange County, McCracken says teachers are “still weighing our options.”

One of three things could happen: The district could come back to the bargaining table, the case could go to the special magistrate, or it could go directly to the county school board, which has several union-friendly allies.

If teachers didn’t have a union at all, the district’s proposal would simply be imposed on teachers. McCracken sees a silver lining in this struggle, as frustrating as the process might be, in that at least there’s a chance for the union to fight on behalf of teachers. Impasse, he admitted is “not a quick process,” adding, “We’re encouraging the district to come back to the table.”

Landlords can’t legally discriminate against people with housing vouchers in Orange County, but they do it anyway — and thanks to a lack of enforcement, it goes largely unchecked

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER

Discriminating against renters based on their use of government rental assistance to pay for housing is a problem that plays out nationally, with disproportionate effects on women and people of color. This form of discrimination can be direct (“We don’t accept vouchers”) or indirect (“You just wouldn’t be comfortable here”).

There’s no federal or state law in Florida that prohibits it, although a handful of city and county governments, including Orange County, have taken a stand against it. Earlier this year, Orange County adopted new fair housing protections that prohibit local landlords and property managers from discriminating against people who use government assistance to pay rent. You’re not obligated to accept tenants on government assistance, but you also can’t flat-out reject them on account of that either.

Orlando Weekly has found, however, that a number of real estate companies continue to do so, blatantly flouting the county’s fair housing protections by declining to accept Section 8 tenants. Section 8, also known as the Housing Choice Voucher program,

is a form of federal rental assistance that subsidizes housing for low-income renters by directly paying landlords.

Under Orange County’s fair housing law, it’s unlawful to reject tenants based on any lawful source of income, which includes Section 8 as well as income from a job, alimony, child support, retirement benefits, and vouchers for low-income veterans. The policy also prohibits restricting a Section 8 tenant’s housing options in any way, or discouraging them from renting on account of where their rent money comes from.

Not everyone’s gotten the memo.

As of publication, Orlando Weekly identified over two dozen discriminatory listings on Zillow, Realtor.com, and Apartments. com, offering some variation of “No Section 8.”

Most were listed by real estate companies or individual realtors. A handful were listed by individual property owners.

When questioned about these listings, the county’s Office of Tenant Services, tasked with addressing issues of tenant and landlord rights, didn’t confirm they’d look into it.

Instead, Orlando Weekly was told the office doesn’t have the resources to do anything about it.

“Unfortunately, the office does not have the staff available to sweep the online listings,” Amy Michaels, the office’s administrator, told Orlando Weekly in an emailed statement, sidestepping a phone interview.

Established in March of this year, the office today has three staff members: one person who goes out into the community to provide education and outreach on fair housing laws, and two staffers who take calls and emails and provide case management.

Operating on a budget of less than $1 million, the office is empowered to answer questions about tenants’ rights and to field complaints from residents within 90 days of any alleged discriminatory action. If there’s evidence to suggest discrimination did occur, they can then pass those along to the county’s housing division for further investigation.

But this highlights a catch: Their enforcement relies chiefly upon a complaint process initiated by tenants, who thereby become responsible for reporting discriminatory behavior.

Even more, the burden of proof (evidence to support the allegation of discrimination) also rests on the complainant. Meaning, if you don’t have verifiable evidence to support your allegation, you don’t really have a case.

Unsurprisingly, in the five months their office has been open, Michaels confirmed they haven’t received a single verified complaint of discrimination from a Section 8 tenant.

This might be due to a broader lack of awareness about the new policy. But it’s also difficult to figure out how to file a complaint in the first place.

The Office of Tenant Services, a “one-stop shop” for landlords and tenants, lists three resources on its website to report housing discrimination: the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Florida Commission on Human Relations, and the City of Orlando Human Relations Commission.

Problem is, none of those three agencies are empowered to investigate Section 8 discrimination complaints, because there’s no state or federal law prohibiting it.

This leaves tenants with the option of initiating a lawsuit on their own. Mitchell Glasser, manager of the county’s housing division (which also fields complaints), told Orlando Weekly that if their agency can’t reach a resolution with the landlord over a discrimination complaint, the tenant has the right to take it to civil court.

‘We cannot give renters a false sense of security’

Some rental platforms, like Zillow, have taken a proactive approach towards promoting nondiscrimination policies on listings to help raise awareness among tenants and landlords. A company spokesperson told Orlando Weekly that Zillow is “committed to ensuring consumers can find a home free of discrimination or bias.”

They add local legal protections to their rental listings. Notably, however, the platform does not include “source of income” as a protected category on Orange County listings. This isn’t an oversight.

Will Lemke, Zillow’s communications manager, said this was a recent change, and it’s largely due to confusion around a new state law (HB 1417) that dissolved dozens of local housing laws across the state, including Orange County’s Tenant Bill of Rights and Fair Notice ordinance, which had required a minimum of 60 days’ notice from landlords of any lease termination or any rent increase of more than 5%.

“After the passage of HB 1417 in Florida, we made the determination that we cannot give prospective renters a false sense of security by informing them they have legal protections against source of income discrimination while the enforceability of the local protections are in doubt,” Lemke told Orlando Weekly in an emailed statement.

The state law’s passage was celebrated by pro-landlord groups like the Florida Realtors, and supported by the Florida Apartment Association, a major industry group whose local affiliates have lobbied elected officials against source of income discrimination policies across the state.

Both groups also sued Orange County last year over a rent control referendum, and donate generously to the campaign funds of local and state politicians on both sides of the aisle.

As of a result of the law, Zillow has opted to err on the side of caution.

After all, there are other communities in Florida that have had to repeal their source of income anti-discrimination protections as a result of the law, which preempts all local regulations of residential tenancies to the state.

It’s only because of a very wonky technicality that the Orange County government has not.

But if you’re on a Zillow listing, you wouldn’t know it.

‘No Section 8’ bias persists

While there’s no federal law prohibiting landlords from rejecting tenants based on their use of Section 8, about a dozen states — not including Florida — have opted to fill in the gap by enacting their own statewide source of income nondiscrimination protections. So have over 75 cities and counties nationwide.

That includes Orange County, a rapidly growing area of Central

Florida whose economy relies on the labor of a largely low-wage hospitality and tourism workforce.

Still, empowered by ignorance or blatant disregard for the county’s fair housing laws, real estate companies — and some individual listers — have continued to list rentals online that are explicitly discriminatory.

Homevest Management, a property management company based in Orlando, has at least two rental listings online that state: “WE DO NOT ACCEPT SECTION 8.”

Another five discriminatory listings from Homevest, discovered by Orlando Weekly earlier this month, have since gone off-market (Orlando’s rental market is red-hot, after all).

The company did not return our emailed request for comment on whether they’re aware that language on their listings violates local fair housing law.

Another two discriminatory listings (“No Section 8”) were posted by a company called RealSource Property Management LLC, which is well aware of Orange County’s anti-discrimination policy.

It’s posted on their website, along with the county’s now-defunct Tenant Bill of Rights ordinance.

Prior to July 1, when the new state preemption law took effect, that ordinance required most landlords to provide a “Notice of Tenant Rights” to Orange County renters ahead of move-in, among other things. Now, thanks to that new state law, it’s no longer enforceable.

Then there are some companies, like Orlando Property and Realty Management, that are less direct, and simply clarify in their listings that their properties are “not approved” or “not eligible” for Section 8.

This is a reference to a mandatory inspection that’s required by agencies that distribute vouchers to make sure that housing units for Section 8 tenants meet basic health and safety standards.

People with Section 8 vouchers are allowed to rent any unit on the private market they want, as long as they can afford to pay their share of the rent — between 30% and 40% of their monthly income.

But the rental unit also needs to be safe. The government (bless its heart) wants to avoid knowingly subsidizing slum conditions for people who are already economically marginalized.

Jorge Acosta Palmer, a local housing attorney with Community Legal Services who works with Section 8 tenants, said claiming a property “is not approved” for the Section 8 program should be cause for concern.

“If they haven’t been approved by Section 8, that usually means that they are not complying with the housing quality standards,” Acosta Palmer told Orlando Weekly.

“That alone is a major red flag.”

He admits it’s also likely they’re just trying to find some way to discourage Section 8 tenants without coming right out and saying so.

“It’s just another way for them to try to circumvent the discrimination,” he said.

Daniel Teles, a housing research associate for the Metropolitan Housing and Communities Policy Center at the Urban Institute, got the same impression.

“It seems more likely to me that they’re saying that to scare people off than they’re saying, ‘We have substandard units,’” he told Orlando Weekly

Not all of the listings Orlando Weekly flagged were posted by established real estate companies.

A handful were listed by individuals, whose listings might exist in something of a legal gray area.

That’s because there’s an exception in the county’s fair housing policy for property owners who want to rent a single room and for those who don’t own more than three homes.

However, if they use a real estate management company, agent,

listing or similar service to manage, lease or market the units, Glasser clarified, “the exception will not apply.”

The bias is not always obvious

If you’re not exempted from the county’s fair housing law, explicitly stating you don’t accept Section 8 online is “a pretty straightforward violation,” says Acosta Palmer.

You can screenshot the ad, he said, and present it as evidence of discriminatory behavior.

But there are also less discernible (and documentable) ways that landlords can discriminate against Section 8 tenants, without just coming right out and saying so.

Landlords sometimes find other creative, possibly morally questionable, ways to price tenants out. For instance: Adding junk fees on top of the total rental cost. Charging Section 8 tenants higher rent than others for a unit. Screening tenants’ credit scores. Or listing a minimum income requirement that excludes a tenant’s rent voucher.

Most local tenants on Section 8 are working adults with families who make at or around minimum wage, said a supervisor overseeing Orange County’s voucher program in an interview with Orlando Weekly in January. Minimum wage in Florida is $11 per hour for non-tipped workers, or roughly $22,880 annually working full-time, which isn’t nearly enough to afford even a one-bedroom unit in Orange County. Average rent has shot up over 30% since early 2020. Homelessness and eviction rates have also increased following the end of pandemic-era eviction moratoriums.

A majority of Section 8 vouchers in Orange County — 75% — are saved for those making at or below 30% of the area median income, equal to $18,450 for an individual or $26,350 for a family of four.

Historically, voucher recipients have had a harder time finding landlords to accept their vouchers, particularly in areas with low poverty and crime, due to stigma and landlords’ frustration with the bureaucracy of the program.

“There are just many landlords that don’t want to take vouchers for a variety of reasons,” Martha Are, executive director of the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida, told Orlando Weekly earlier this year.“[They] don’t want to deal with the paperwork, don’t want to deal with the inspections, or would just rather rent to people who don’t have any of those strings attached.”

But housing advocates, including nonprofits like the Homeless Services Network, strive to destigmatize the program and to emphasize its benefits both for landlords and Section 8 tenants.

For starters, “You’re looking at guaranteed rent,” said housing attorney Acosta Palmer.

At least 70% of a Section 8 tenant’s rent comes directly from the government each month, consistently. The tenant, who’s also prescreened for eligibility, is responsible for covering the rest — and if they don’t, their voucher could be at stake.

Then there are the benefits of the program for low-income families and the community as a whole. Research suggests the program can help lift families out of poverty and reduce homelessness and housing instability — a problem associated with poorer social and economic outcomes for kids and adults.

But there’s more than just a moral argument, especially if you’re required by local or state law to accept vouchers.

“It makes the program less effective if people are allowed to just turn it down,” said Teles, who co-authored a report on the impact of source of income nondiscrimination laws for the Urban Institute, a nonprofit focused on social and economic policy research.

The goal of the program is to increase high-quality housing

opportunities for low-income families. Rejecting program participants is “a significant hindrance” to that, he added.

Enforcement systems lack teeth

While dozens of source of income discrimination laws have been enacted nationwide, actual enforcement of these policies has come under scrutiny. The Asbury Park Press reported in 2021 that housing discrimination toward Section 8 tenants in the state of New Jersey continued to occur largely unchecked, despite statewide anti-discrimination protections that had been in place since 2002.

A large part of that was tied to lackluster enforcement. While the state has a federally funded program that directs local agencies to conduct undercover “testing” in order to identify discriminatory landlords, reporting from the Asbury Park Press revealed that the state’s enforcement agency still lacked teeth.

As in Orange County, the state’s dedicated watchdog for housing discrimination also relied on a tenant-driven complaint process as their primary enforcement strategy.

Locally, the Office of Tenant Services confirmed they rely chiefly on complaints that come in from local residents. They don’t proactively search for evidence of discriminatory behavior.

Teles, with the Urban Institute, acknowledged that they don’t actually have good evidence yet on what makes a strong or weak enforcement system for these laws.

Nonetheless, he said that relying on tenants to take action “is problematic.”

He explained, “If you think about yourself as a tenant, do you really want to go through the process of reporting something and trying to then rent from somebody who doesn’t want to rent to you, when you could just look for a different place?”

Under the county’s fair housing law, enforcement officials have up to 100 days to investigate complaints of housing discrimination that come their way.

But voucher recipients, who can often spend several years on a waitlist just to get that rental assistance, only have 120 days to find a place to rent once they secure the voucher.

If they don’t find a place within that time frame, they risk losing the voucher.

“I think by the time the complaint is done, and any action or enforcement is taken, it’s likely going to be too late,” said Acosta Palmer, the local housing attorney.“They’re going to have to continue to look for housing anyway. So that’s part of the challenge.”

Looking forward

That’s why taking a proactive approach to enforcement, by snuffing out discriminatory behavior ahead of time or disincentivizing it, could “definitely” be helpful, said Acosta.

A relatively simple strategy to accomplish that aim, beyond education and outreach for landlords, could include conducting online sweeps of rental platforms like Zillow.

And it’s been done in Florida before. The administrative manager of Hillsborough County’s Consumer Protection Services division told public radio station WMNF last year that this was part of their fair housing enforcement strategy.

“There’s a reactive approach that we take in accepting complaints, and we’re also proactive in our outreach and looking for violations of this ordinance,” said Eric Olsen, in reference to a local tenants’ rights law.

When contacted by Orlando Weekly to seek clarification on this process, a Hillsborough County spokesperson declined to set up an interview, directing us to a webpage explaining that, thanks to the new state preemption law (HB 1417), the county is no longer able to enforce the ordinance referenced by Olsen.

But building an enforcement mechanism with teeth isn’t outside the realm of possibility. And occasionally, landlords do face penalties for violating the law. States like California and New York have filed landmark lawsuits over source of income discrimination in recent years. A watchdog group earlier this year sued 26 landlords and brokers in Newark and New Jersey, where source of income discrimination is prohibited. Last year, the District of Columbia Attorney General’s office also grabbed headlines for securing a $10 million settlement, the largest-ever civil penalty in a housing discrimination case, tied to a lawsuit brought by Section 8 voucher holders.

Teles acknowledged that publicity about enforcement was often “a bigger priority to these offices” in D.C. and New York, for example, than the severity of the enforcement action.

Still, publicizing enforcement actions, he added, can show the public that this issue is being taken seriously, and it could help deter future violations by landlords. A well-oiled system for enforcement, however, also requires sufficient funding, and there might also be a learning curve to consider.

“For tenants, for landlords, for counties, it’s something that was kind of an emerging issue,” said Acosta-Palmer, of tackling discriminatory practices towards Section 8 tenants.

Compared to forms of housing discrimination covered by federal and state laws, the blueprint available for enforcing Section 8 nondiscrimination is less clearly established.

If you’re a Section 8 tenant who’s searching for a unit in Orange County, Acosta Palmer emphasized that documenting everything — your interactions with landlords, realtors and property managers — “is key.” At the same time, he believes the burden shouldn’t rest solely on tenants to report discrimination, and that there can be more done to prevent it from happening in the first place.

“If the county were to make it more of a visible issue, and they were proactive with it, I think it would disincentivize landlords from implementing these practices.”

Much as

Imagine Performing Arts Center has revitalized its wing of the Oviedo Mall, New Generation Theatrical envisions their Fashion Square outpost might help rescue this oncerenowned retail hub from its zombiemall fate

After a double-decade run presenting Orlando’s annual Play-in-a-Day fundraiser — which brings together 10 teams of veteran and emerging theater artists to craft original shows in only 24 hours — recently relocated producer Beth Marshall returned from Colorado last weekend to formally hand the reins over to Clark Levi, who was just named “Best Hope for the Next Generation of Theater” in our 2023 Best of Orlando issue (no pressure, kid!). With this year’s theme being “rebirth,” it’s fitting that after bouncing from Orlando Shakes to Lake Howell to Oviedo, the event found a welcoming new home at Orlando Fringe’s ArtSpace on Church Street, formerly the Mad Cow Theatre.

Although Fringe’s new venue was able to host last Saturday’s sold-out performance (where writer Katie Thayer’s Good Morning took top honors), it simply isn’t large enough to also hold all of the necessary rehearsals for such an undertaking. Renaissance Theater graciously came to their assistance, but PIAD is far from the only Orlando show I’ve seen search for a place to prepare. And when large sections of the Lowndes Shakespeare Center are shut down over the next year for a much-needed overhaul

of the building’s ailing air-conditioning, the demand for affordable arts rehearsal space in the downtown area — already in scarce supply — is only bound to increase.

That’s exactly where executive producer Aaron Safer hopes that New Generation Theatrical’s new NGT Studio can step in and help the community. I recently made my first visit in many months to Colonial Drive’s moribund Fashion Square Mall, where Safer and philanthropy director Kristen Sheola led me on a work-in-progress tour of the 6,000-squarefoot space that they are transforming into a “comprehensive hub for theatrical creativity and production.”

Much as Imagine Performing Arts Center (previously Penguin Point) has revitalized its own wing of the Oviedo Mall, NGT envisions their new Fashion Square outpost — featuring a large dedicated rehearsal area, plus a fully equipped scenic workshop and production offices — might resurrect this downstairs dead end near Dillards and help rescue this oncerenowned retail hub from its zombie-mall fate.

Regular readers of this column will remember NGT for presenting local playwright Michael Knight’s original comedies Gothic Manor and Jesus: Origins, as well as productions of Neil LaBute’s Reasons to Be Pretty and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. So when I first learned that NGT had secured a significant storefront inside Fashion Square, I initially assumed that it would be used as a public performance space. Instead of holding ticketed events, it turns out that NGT is focusing their studio’s resources on something much less glamorous, but equally necessary: rehearsal and construction.

“It’s a creative hub, as opposed to a showcasing hub, [because] there’s not a lot of creative hubs that are accessible to actors that aren’t also theaters,” Safer explains. “A lot of times in the blocking out of availability of a theater, they prioritize renting to shows, so there’s not a place for theater companies to come in and just be like, ‘Hey, can we just rehearse for a couple

of weeks?’”

Even though most theater patrons will probably never see it, the inside of NGT Studio is large enough to hold two of Orlando’s popular black box stages, or the entirety of the Dr. Phillips Center’s 300-seat Pugh Theater’s performance space.

Safer says that gives enough elbow room to “allow people to create what they want to, and actually rehearse and build,” whether that means constructing a tiered wedding cake-shaped stage (as I spotted during my visit for NGT’s recent regional premiere of Joshua Harmon’s Significant Other) or crafting costumes and props using a full inventory of donated tools.

Prior to leasing their new space, NGT had staged the Addams Family musical at Fashion Square, and had initially only planned on a short-term rental.

“Then we got here, and we started using the space and we were like, ‘This is actually really great, what if we just made this our creative space?’” says Safer. “So we started an extended lease, and now we’re here through the end of 2024. … The management’s really cool, they’re really laid back. They’re just happy to have people back in the mall.”

“We have been trying to serve the community in a different way from the beginning,” Safer concludes, citing NGT’s $20 minimum wage and other pro-worker policies.

“So far, the feedback that we’ve gotten from our actors is all positive, [and] I feel like this is a safe space; they feel heard and seen, they feel creative, and they come out of their shells really quickly in this type of environment. So now we also want to extend that to the community, so that the community can [say] ‘We know NGT … they are a safe space, and I’d really like to rehearse my show in there.”

ROCK LOBSTERS

The Nauti Lobstah brings quality New England seafood and kitchen cred to Apopka

BY BAO LE-HUU

The first thing that a restaurant named “The Nauti Lobstah” signals is a focus on New England seafood. The second is that they probably misjudged their patience for the pathetic attempts at Boston accents the name would trigger from us Southerners.

Nevertheless, this Apopka eatery brings wicked legit Yankee chops to the area’s seafood game. Besides being a native New Englander, classically trained chef Mike Rumplik packs ample local cred from his 15 years as executive chef at Rosen Centre Hotel, along with previous stints at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, the Peabody Orlando and the Peabody Memphis.

Prior to becoming the Nauti Lobstah in December 2020, this spot was homey, Southernstyle seafood diner the Catfish Place for nearly

four decades. While they’ve respectfully kept some of the Catfish Place’s classic dishes on their menu for the longtime locals, the Lobstah is flexing its accomplished culinary muscle to make its own mark. Considering how bustling the place is now, it’s clear they’ve already become new darlings. And the reasons for that are many. While they offer a range of ocean bounty across main plates, sandwiches and appetizers, the emphasis is on shellfish. No purer way to dive in first than with raw East Coast oysters on the half shell (market price — on our visit, $14 per half dozen or $21 per dozen). The Virginia Blue Point oysters were large, sweet and, most importantly, fresh — all served traditionally with cocktail sauce, horseradish, lemon wedges and saltines. If raw’s not your thing, they also

offer them fried or casino style.

There are few New England dishes as iconic as clam chowder (spelled here as “chowdah,” of course), and Rumplik’s signature recipe ($8 for a cup, $10 for a bowl) makes most other versions of white chowder seem like bowls of hearty nothingness. With enough seasoning and herb notes to match the cream, the Lobstah’s chowder packs full, robust flavor.

Another outstanding shellfish appetizer is the steamed littleneck clams (market price — on our visit, $17), which are prepared classically in a rich, buttery white-wine broth punctuated by garlic, basil and bright tomato chunks, with grilled focaccia slices for dipping.

Even more casual starters like onion rings ($8) are done well as big, thick-cut onions in nicely crisp batter, served alongside dips of house-made horseradish cream sauce and ranch.

Regarding the namesake delicacy, there’s a range of lobster options here that go from prim tails to grand stuffed three-pounders. But they offer good whole lobster specials throughout the week (Tuesday-Wednesday, $25; ThursdaySaturday, $35; includes one side) that feature an entire one-pound boiled Maine lobster cooked just right and served with drawn butter and lemon wedges. We had ours with a side of their tasty and not overly creamed spinach.

Even more of this kitchen’s regional specialty is found in their New England lobster — OK, OK, lobstah — roll ($28). From the very sweet meat here and in the whole lobster, it’s clear they use primo product. The already succulent lobster chunks are made even more so with a dressing of rich but not smothering mayo that absolutely sings with fresh herbs and celery. The elevated mélange comes nestled in the buttery goodness of Bibb lettuce and lightly toasted New England brioche roll. Among the many options from which to choose your two included sides, definitely consider pairing this sandwich with the homemade potato chips, which are delicious on their own but absolutely next-level with their piquant cream dip.

While the dining room has been spiffed up, a rustic maritime theme still defines the ambience. But between the atmosphere and the menu alike, the coziness served up at the Nauti Lobstah belies the dramatic sea change that’s happened at this longtime seafood stand since they took over. With a new regional point of view, new level of cooking and noteworthy hospitality, the Nauti Lobstah is a perfect Nor’easter of quality and comfort.

NO ONE WANTS AN ALIEN?

Central Floridian death metal band Cynic in live Focus, 30 years later

BY MATTHEW MOYER

In the early 1990s metal underground, Tampa death metal was king. Bands like Obituary, Deicide and Malevolent Creation were ascendant. And then, in 1993, the young band Cynic released their seismic album Focus. It was a fearless, progressive odyssey with flawless and technical musicianship merged deftly with emotional vulnerability and just the right hint of DM-savagery. There was nothing like it at the time and, as such, it confused most everyone. on the industry side. The band would soldier on for years, blissfully undaunted and confident the times would catch up with them. They were right. In 2023, Focus is a touchstone of progressive metal that’s rooted in the heart rather than the head, influencing heavyweights like Meshuggah and Between the Buried and Me. This year’s remastered reissue of the album as ReFocus to mark its 30th anniversary reveals

ever more prismatic layers of soul and subtlety hitherto unheard. Now the band is on the road, marking that same milestone and playing Focus in full. Cynic frontperson and guiding light Paul Masvidal talked to Orlando Weekly about memories of Focus and grieving onstage for gone-too-soon friends and Cynic fulcrums Sean Reinert and Sean Malone.

Does it get emotional when you’re performing Focus and also thinking of lost friends?

I have experienced intense emotions at times, baring my soul. Each show provides a new experience, and when I step on stage, I am unsure of what to expect, except for a deliberate transparency in the present moment. I allow myself to feel a range of emotions. When we first started touring Focus in Latin America last April, I struggled

7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 2 Conduit 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park conduitfl.com $25-$30

to make it through a few shows because I felt the intense and raw grief of their losses all over again. I felt completely vulnerable and exposed. My intention is to allow myself to break down and not try to put myself back together. This helps me connect with the audience in an authentic way that feels fair and reciprocal. The music helps me get back on my feet.

Is there hesitation to revisit albums or mark anniversaries, especially with a forward-facing album like Focus?

I am not a big fan of nostalgia and looking back. Even though Focus turned 30 this year, what lies beneath these tours is the gratitude I feel towards Sean Reinert and Sean Malone, and the beautiful work we were able to create together all those years with the fans. It is also an opportunity to share where we are now and find a way back into performing with an awesome band.

I saw Cynic back in the ’90s and what impressed me was this feeling of serene calm you all exuded that night. What was the onstage dynamic at that time for you?

It sounds like it was a good night, ha! I felt relaxed while playing the songs back then, and I still do now, three decades later. Despite the dynamic and turbulent swirl of notes and sounds, Cynic, for me, is for the most part driven by a sense of calmness at its core. The songs are lyrically focused on this vibe. Focus was born from a range of energies, from incredible tension to the intimate and serene spaces we created for ourselves as a means of survival.

When writing Focus, what were you all listening to and how were you encouraging and pushing each other?

As we delved deeper into playing our instruments, jazz and fusion resonated with us more deeply. We found inspiration in artists like John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Mahavishnu Orchestra and Allan Holdsworth. Cynic was always drawn to music that defied conventions and sounded innovative. We were young and dealing with the confusion of our own traumatic childhoods, but we found solace in each other through music. Music became a sanctuary where we could find strength and courage to navigate life on our own terms, with integrity and discipline. Above all else, we prioritized the music and were determined to be the best we could be. Much has changed, but much has also remained the same.

like human-robot intimacy. This is, after all, Evan Shafran we’re dealing with here.

All told, Dawn of the Technosexuals is a surrealist commentary piece that swirls and undulates with satire and freak spirit. It’s now out via Post*Records and streams everywhere.

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

The Handshakes: The Handshakes are new but the players are local legends. As members of outstanding rockabilly combo Skinny McGee & His Mayhem Makers, lead man Skinny McGee and harmonica virtuoso Chris Bell were some of the brightest stars during the original Will’s Pub era at Loch Haven. From their electrifying performances of that time, they’ve since held a deep and exalted place in the local hall of fame.

Now, they’ve teamed back up to become The Handshakes. There’s only been one song released so far, but new single “I’ll Ramble On” is a perfectly faithful slice of traditional, prerock & roll country, and the cowboy crooning suits Skinny very well. Go see some homegrown heroes in a fresh new light. (7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 2, Lil Indie’s, free)

DJ Icey, Stanton Warriors, DJ Magic Mike, Jimmy Joslin, DJ Sandy: England’s Stanton Warriors are certified nu-breaks stars and are beloved here in the original mecca of breaks. But with all due respect to our British brothers in beat, they’re simply the international cherry that tops a show that’s a solid-gold bass sundae of Orlando music legacy.

LOCAL RELEASES

The latest longtime ensemble player to finally step out solo is the very experimental Evan Shafran. Although he’s shown small glimpses of lead work with Bear Dream and Space Force, he’s primarily made a name for himself over the past couple decades as a drummer in bands like Danny Feedback, Happy Valley and, most recently, Tinnitus Rex.

The telling thing about these credits is that all of them are notable and none of them are normal. Although Shafran’s long been affiliated with some of Orlando’s weirdest, his just-released solo debut, Dawn of the Technosexuals, makes it immediately clear in no uncertain terms that he’s a power plant of oddity unto himself.

Written, performed and recorded all on his own, this 11-track album is the work of an art deviant left to his warped devices.

Dawn of the Technosexuals is a concept album that’s a companion piece to Nothing True Over the Moon, the 2022 art film Shafran did with Danny Feedback. Like that film, this album is out there. Musically, the album ranges wide in style but stays consistent in narcotic atmosphere.

There are slow creepers, day-tripping voyages, electronic rabbit holes, fried blues and outsider rock. Add in Shafran’s guttural delivery and it’s like the dark underbelly of your psyche speaking to you.

Topically, it’s a dystopian examination of humanity’s deepening relationship with technology, spiking the age-old theme with some very now references and unsettling extremities

DJs Icey, Jimmy Joslin and Sandy are all icons of the 1990s breaks boom. But Magic Mike is even more OG, predating that scene and laying the very foundation for Florida breaks by bridging hip-hop, Miami bass and electro in the late 1980s. This bright Orlando son is no less than a godfather of Florida breaks, a man instrumental in birthing a dance subgenre that would explode to such international profile that it likely influenced Stanton Warriors themselves. Go bask in the court of all this homegrown beat royalty and FEEL … THE … BASS. (7 p.m.

Sunday, Sept. 3, House of Blues, $25-$110)

Batushka, Swallow the Sun, Stormruler: Poland’s Batushka are another one of those bands that underwent an acrimonious schism that resulted in two different groups using the same name. So, for the record, the Batushka that’s coming here is the one led by vocalist Bartłomiej Krysiuk and not the one led by founder Krzysztof Drabikowski. If you know what I’m talking about, then this likely matters to you. If not, then you’ll fully enjoy the high theater of dudes in Eastern Orthodox priest robes and shrouded faces performing titanic black metal with the utmost drama. Opening will be Finnish death-doom band Swallow the Sun and St. Louis black metal dealers Stormruler. (6 p.m.

Tuesday, Sept. 5, Conduit, $25)

Will’s Pub 28th Anniversary

The venerable Mills 50 music venue celebrates triumphantly making it out of the 27 Club with a long weekend’s worth of musical celebrations marking 28 years. On Wednesday, Aug. 30, the Bikeriders Tour brings Ben Nichols of Americana band Lucero — a band that’s a personal touchstone for the “Will” in Will’s, Will Walker — along with Lulu and the Black Sheep. Thursday sees classic Orlando oddball heaviness from Gargamel! alongside avant-metallers Polkadot Cadaver and Flagman. For Friday night, Kaleigh Baker bops over from her usual home at Lil Indie’s to the Will’s stage bringing her dreamy ensemble, Someday Honey, along with Afrobeat hands Bengali 500. Saturday is sure to be a rager with M.A.C.E., Vegan Butcher, The Hamiltons, Teen Agers and the return of Panther Camp for one night only. Finally, Sunday is an appropriately nostalgic sendo with a 120 Minutes (the staple MTV 1990s alternative show) themed show. No performances confirmed yet, but if someone doesn’t cosplay as the gregariously odd VJ Matt Pinfield, we’ll fucking riot. That aside, many happy returns, you millennial.

Riot, Grrrl!

A couple of area activist groups are bringing to Orlando political education and a show in their latest call to action. The Sex Workers Outreach Program and Florida Access Network are hosting a concert and “draglesque” event downtown to benefit their mutual aid programs, and they’re calling on Orlando locals to show up to support and catch some top-shelf performances. Organizers intend the event — featuring performers Harlot Johannson, Aysia Black, Lulu Cavalli, with music from Stiletto — to integrate “radical educational components” on current issues of the day: anti-trans legislation in Florida, reproductive justice and sex workers’ rights. Want to know who you’re supporting? Florida Access Network is a nonprofit abortion fund that helps provide financial aid and practical support to people seeking abortion care. SWOP, meanwhile, is a national social justice organization that advocates for the rights and safety of sex workers. Time to riot, grrrl, indeed. 8 p.m., the Social, 54 N.

Dethklok, Babymetal

It’s oft been opined that metal musicians are, at their core, a wee bit cartoonish, but Dethklok turn that old saw up to 11. The animated metal supergroup, stars of Adult Swim show Metalocalypse, have crossed over into our reality for a summer tour. Dethklok IRL function on the Gorillaz model: bandleader joined by all-star collaborators to make the visions flesh. So the band will be helmed by show creator Brendon Small and legendary underground metal drummer Gene Hoglan (Death, Dark Angel). Dethklok have been quite, um, animated and busy this year, with the recent release of the film Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar, and two albums — the movie’s soundtrack and Dethalbum IV. For the tour, Dethklok are joined by guitarist Jason Richardson and equally OTT Japanese pop-metal outfit Babymetal. Despite fears that Babymetal had called it a day in 2021, the band are back and ready to start a “new chapter.” The theatrical Japanese headbangers deftly walk the line between kawaii and kvlt, and are a worthy match for the equally otherworldly co-headliners. 7 p.m., Orlando Amphitheater, 4603 W. Colonial Drive, orlandoamphitheater. com, $50-$225. —

COURTESY PHOTO

BY ROB BREZSNY

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo journalist Anthony Loyd has spent a lot of time in war zones, so it’s no surprise he has bleak views about human nature. He makes the following assertion: “We think we have freedom of choice, but really most of our actions are puny meanderings in the prison yard built by history and early experience.” I agree that our conditioning and routines prevent us from being fully liberated. But most of us have some capacity for responding to the raw truth of the moment and are not utterly bound by the habits of the past. At our worst, we have 20 percent access to freedom of choice. At our best, we have 70 percent. I believe you will be near the 70 percent levels in the coming weeks, dear Virgo.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libra poet T.S. Eliot wrote the iconic narrative poem “The Wasteland.” One part of the story takes place in a bar near closing time. Several times, the bartender calls out, “Hurry up, please — it’s time.” He wants the customers to finish their drinks and leave for the night. Now imagine I’m that bartender standing near you. I’m telling you, “Hurry up, please — it’s time.” What I mean is that you are in the climactic phase of your astrological cycle. You need to finish this chapter of your life story so you can move on to the next one. “Hurry up, please — it’s time” means you have a sacred duty to resolve, as best you can, every lingering confusion and mystery.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Addressing a lover, Scorpio poet Margaret Atwood says, “I would like to walk with you through that lucent wavering forest of bluegreen leaves with its watery sun & three moons, towards the cave where you must descend, towards your worst fear.” That is a bold declaration. Have you ever summoned such a deep devotion for a loved one? You will have more power and skill than usual to do that in the coming months. Whether you want to or not is a different question. But yes, you will be connected to dynamic magic that will make you a brave and valuable ally.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian theologian N.T. Wright writes, “The great challenge to self-knowledge is blind attachment to our virtues. It is hard to criticize what we think are our virtues. Although the spirit languishes without ideals, idealism can be the greatest danger.” In my view, that statement formulates a central Sagittarian challenge. On the one hand, you need to cultivate high ideals if you want to be exquisitely yourself. On the other hand, you must ensure your high ideals don’t become weapons you use to manipulate and harass others. Author Howard Bloom

adds more. “Watch out for the dark side of your own idealism and of your moral sense,” he writes. “Both come from our arsenal of natural instincts. And both easily degenerate into an excuse for attacks on others.” Now is a good time for you to ponder these issues.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn playwright and novelist Rose Franken said, “Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly.” That’s interesting, because many traditional astrologers say that Capricorns are the least likely zodiac sign to be silly. Speaking from personal experience, though, I have known members of your tribe to be goofy, nutty and silly when they feel comfortably in love. An old Capricorn girlfriend of mine delighted in playing and having wicked good fun. Wherever you rank in the annals of wacky Capricorns, I hope you will consider expressing these qualities in the coming weeks. Romance and intimacy will thrive if you do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As I work on writing new books, I often draw on inspirations that flow through me as I take long hikes. The vigorous exercise shakes loose visions and ideas that are not accessible as I sit in front of my computer. Aquarian novelist Charles Dickens was an adherent of this approach. At night, he liked to walk around London for miles, marveling at the story ideas that welled up in him. I recommend our strategy to you in the coming weeks, Aquarius. As you move your body, key revelations and enriching emotions will well up in you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The coming months will be an excellent time to build, discover and use metaphorical bridges. To get in the mood, brainstorm about every type of bridge you might need. How about a connecting link between your past and future? How about a nexus between a task you must do and a task you love to do? And maybe a conduit between two groups of allies that would then serve you even better than they already do? Your homework is to fantasize about three more exciting junctions, combinations or couplings.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Climate change is dramatically altering the Earth. People born today will experience three times as many floods and droughts as someone born in 1960, as well as seven times more heat waves. In urgent efforts to find a cure, scientists are generating outlandish proposals: planting mechanical trees, creating undersea walls to protect melting glaciers from warm ocean water, dimming the sun with airborne calcium carbonate, and covering Arctic ice with a layer of glass. In this spirit, I encourage you to incite unruly

and even unorthodox brainstorms to solve your personal dilemmas. Be wildly inventive and creative.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “When love is not madness, it is not love,” wrote Spanish author Pedro Calderon de la Barca. In my opinion, that’s naive, melodramatic nonsense! I will forgive him for his ignorance, since he worked as a soldier and celibate priest in the 17th century. The truth is that yes, love should have a touch of madness. But when it has more than a touch, it’s usually a fake kind of love: rooted in misunderstanding, immaturity, selfishness and lack of emotional intelligence. In accordance with astrological factors, I assign you Tauruses to be dynamic practitioners of genuine togetherness in the coming months: with hints of madness and wildness, yes, but mostly big helpings of mutual respect, smart compassion, tender care and a knack for dealing maturely with disagreements.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Iain S. Thomas writes, “There are two things everyone has. One is The Great Sadness and the other is How Weird I Really Am. But only some of us are brave enough to talk about them.” The coming weeks will be a favorable time to ripen your relationship with these two things, Gemini. You will have the extra gravitas necessary to understand how vital they are to your full humanity. You can also express and discuss them in meaningful ways with the people you trust.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A self-fulfilling prophecy happens when the expectations we embrace actually come to pass. We cling so devotedly to a belief about what will occur that we help generate its literal manifestation. This can be unfortunate if the anticipated outcome isn’t good for us. But it can be fortunate if the future we visualize upgrades our well-being. I invite you to ruminate on the negative and positive projections you’re now harboring. Then shed the former and reinforce the latter.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The holy book of the Zoroastrian religion describes a mythical mountain, Hara Berezaiti. It’s the geographic center of the universe. The sun hides behind it at night. Stars and planets revolve around it. All the world’s waters originate at its peak. Hara Berezaiti is so luminous and holy that no darkness can survive there, nor can the false gods abide. I would love for you to have your own version of Hara Berezaiti, Leo: a shining source of beauty and strength in your inner landscape. I invite you to use your imagination to create this sanctuary within you. Picture yourself having exciting, healing adventures there. Give it a name you love. Call on its invigorating presence when you need a sacred boost.

“JUST STAY PUT?”

BY DAN SAVAGE

Dear Readers: I’m off this week, so please enjoy this evergreen column from February 2011. If you’re wondering whether I’ve gotten any nicer over the past 12 years, this column is proof that I have. Enjoy! — Dan

I’ve written before, but I didn’t hear back from you — probably because my e-mail didn’t contain flogging or santorum or whatever. But I won’t be IGNORED, Dan. My question: I’m a 32-year-old woman. Second marriage, two kids: one kid with my ex and one with the man I cheated on my ex with (my current husband). My problem: A year ago, I found my “first love” on a social network. I’d been looking for him off and on for more than 16 years. This person was a jerk who left me for one of my friends back in high school. But he was and still is the love of my life. Always has been. Always will be. He is not married, has never been married, and has no children. We began an affair about seven months after finding each other. My marriage, my second marriage, had been rocky before this. My second husband, of three years, stopped having sex with me after I became pregnant, and this continued after our child was born. We tried counseling. It didn’t help. In no way am I using this as an excuse. I know what I’ve done is wrong. But I also have a pretty bad track record and have cheated on every man I’ve ever been with, except for my first love. This man, my first love, is the worst person in the world for me. Yet I’m in love with him. I have ALWAYS been in love with him. He wants me to leave my white-collar husband for him, a very blue-collar guy. I live in a nice home in the suburbs; my first love lives in a small apartment in the city. Five months after we began having sex with each other, my current husband found out. Instead of leaving me, he has turned into a different man: extremely loving and attentive. He says this experience has made him realize how much he loves me and that he doesn’t want to lose me.

My other problem: I didn’t begin this affair to get my second husband’s attention. I began it because I’m in love with my first love and always have been. My husband knows of my deep feelings for my “first.” I mention divorce often, but it falls on deaf ears. I want to do what is best for my kids — and that would be staying right where I am. But I feel my only chance for “true” love, if there is such a thing, is passing me by. I’ve never felt for anyone as I do for this man. Every man who has come into my life AFTER him knew about him and knew that if he ever came back for me, I was gone. This includes my current husband. Dan, pull out all the stops on this one, as you famously do, and please tell me what to do.

Serial Cheater In Love

I’ve read what you’ve written before, SCIL, but I didn’t respond because I didn’t have much to say to you and I still don’t. I had the same reaction reading your e-mail today that I had reading all the other e-mails you’ve sent. My reaction is a little selfish, and I’m a little embarrassed to share it with you. But you keep asking, SCIL, and so here it is: THIS BITCH CAN GET LEGALLY MARRIED AND I CAN’T?!?!

Sorry, sorry, sorry. That was cunty of me — nowhere near the level of compassionate professionalism that people expect of me — and so now I’m going to have to make amends by scrounging up some of that advice shit you’re after. But I’m going to offer you my advice on one condition: You don’t write to me ever again. OK!

You say you’ve cheated on every man you’ve ever been with, with the exception of your “first love,” SCIL, and you regard that as a sign your first love was your true love. But I see signs of circular reasoning/magical thinking — you’ve concluded that he must be the love of your life because you didn’t cheat on him, and you didn’t cheat on him because he’s the love of your life.

No. You didn’t cheat on him, SCIL, because you didn’t get around to it. You two broke up when you were 15 years old. If you’d been with him a little longer — another week, maybe two — you would’ve cheated on him like you’ve cheated on everybody else.

If you leave your current husband and break up your first child’s second home and your second child’s first home and go back to your first love, SCIL, it won’t be long before you get around to cheating on the love of your life, too. Because you’re a cheater.

You’re a habitual, serial cheater. You’re precisely the kind of person who shouldn’t make monogamous commitments. Or get married. Or have children.

So, what should you do? Stay? Go? Frankly, SCIL, I don’t give a fuck. Stay or go, it’s not going to make a fuck of a lot of difference. Your personal life is a mess, SCIL, and it always will be. Because, you see, wherever you go, there you are.

That said: If your current husband doesn’t mind being cheated on, if he can put up with your affairs and wants to put your children first, then I think you should stay with him for the sake of your kids. They deserve whatever stability and continuity you can scrounge up for them between infidelities.

Again, if you leave your current husband for the love of your life, SCIL, it won’t be long before you’re cheating on your third husband and preparing to uproot your kids a third/second time. I know it, you know it, everyone out there reading this knows it, even your current husband seems to know it.

So just stay put, OK?

[Postscript to Readers: SCIL held up her end of the bargain — she never sent me another letter again.]

My girlfriend of two years, my first real relationship, broke up with me a month ago. Although I felt like shit for most of that month, we somehow managed to struggle through

to a close friendship. I wouldn’t say I’m entirely over her, but I understand why it happened and that we won’t be getting back together. All in all, I’ve felt like we’ve both been pretty mature, and things are going well.

The complication: We still find each other attractive, and we work very well together sexually. So, she proposed an FWB arrangement, and I said yes. We laid down ground rules — we are not together, we are just friends who fuck, so no “I love you,” no commitments, no expectations — and we started having hot sex. Is this foolhardy? We both know that I’d prefer something more. So, the question remains: Should we keep fucking?

Can’t Recall Acronym Procedure

How are you going to feel when your ex-girlfriend/current-fuck-buddy finds a new boyfriend and ends your FWB arrangement? If you can honestly answer, “I’ll be happy for her,” then you can keep fucking her — but don’t forget to ask for your balls back when she dumps you that second time.

If you can’t say that and you decide to keep fucking the ex-girlfriend anyway, CRAP, you wouldn’t be the first lovesick dumpee who agreed an FWB arrangement with an ex in the most-likely-delusional-but-you-neverknow hope of getting back together. If the short-term rewards (all that hot sex) and the potential long-shot payoff (getting back together) make the risk seem worthwhile, then keep fucking.
