Judges mull convictions in Milano case

By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com A three-judge panel of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals spent 45 minutes this week pondering whether to void convictions in the Anthony Milano murder case.

In December 1987, Frank R. Chester and Richard R. Laird murdered Milano after escorting him out of a Bucks County tavern and kidnapping him to a nearby wooded area.

Upon their arrival, Chester kicked and pushed Milano. Then Laird hacked out Milano’s throat with a box cutter, according to court records.

Milano was gay, and prosecutors declared it an antigay hate crime, though there were no hate-crime protections in place for the LGBT community.

In 1988, Chester and Laird were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. But Chester’s first-degree murder conviction was voided in 2011, due to improper jury instructions by the trial judge.

Now Chester wants his remaining convictions voided — including second-degree murder and kidnapping — on the basis that his trial attorney had a conflict of interest.

Chester’s trial attorney, Thomas F. Edwards Jr., denies having a conflict of interest in the case.

Last year, U.S. District Judge C. Darnell Jones 2d rejected Chester’s claim, but Chester appealed to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

On Jan. 13, Judges Thomas L. Ambro, Thomas M. Hardiman and Kent A. Jordan heard arguments from both sides.

Jules Epstein, an attorney for Chester, said Edwards’ life was in “absolute colPAGE 17

A North Philadelphia lesbian was shot in broad daylight Tuesday morning while on her way to work.

Kim Jones, 56, was shot in the head at 9:30 a.m. while she was standing on the corner of 12th and Jefferson streets near Temple University, waiting to take the bus to work, police said.

The gunman came up behind Jones, who was wearing headphones, and shot her point-blank in the back of the head.

Investigators believe Jones was targeted, but a motive had not been announced as of presstime.

Center announces new top position at annual meeting

By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com Last Saturday the William Way LGBT Community Center held its annual meeting to discuss the organization’s future and goals heading into 2015.

Among the business addressed at the meeting was the promotion of Candice Thompson from director of center services to chief operating officer, a position in which she will be responsible for all the internal operations of the center.

“I feel really excited to be a part of the center’s growth,” Thompson said. “I am celebrating my 10-year anniversary with the center in April, which is amazing to me, so I bring all of that organization history and insight to this new role.”

The position was created to allow the executive director to focus on external relations and fundraising, while the COO manages the internal operations, according to Thompson.

“This is the first time the center will have a COO, so I am really excited to make it a successful, smart investment of resources,” she said.

“This position will help the center grow more rapidly and I’m excited to be a part of that. It’s going to be a great year at the center and I’m looking forward to both the challenges and successes that are ahead.”

“It’s a very exciting year for us, in addition to the 40th anniversary of the center,” added executive director Chris Bartlett. “We are doing a lot of projects that are going to move the center forward.”

Court date scheduled in Williams case A pre-trial status conference in the homicide case of trans woman Diamond Williams has been scheduled for later this month, according to court records.

Charles N. Sargent is accused of stabbing Williams to death, then dismembering her body with an ax. Sargent allegedly told police he invited Williams to his Strawberry Mansion residence during the early-morning hours of July 14, 2013.

According to Sargent’s statement, he stabbed Williams in self-defense, after she demanded a pre-arranged payment of $40 for performing oral sex, which he says he refused to pay because she had a penis.

A pre-trial status conference is set for 9 a.m. Jan. 21 in Courtroom 1105 of the Criminal Justice Center, 1301 Filbert St. Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner will preside.

In an affidavit filed with the court, Sargent quoted extenPAGE 3

Benefit for victim of Gayborhood attack

By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com The Gayborhood is rallying behind the victim of a recent attack who, due to his injuries, is unable to return to work while he recovers.

Tabu Lounge & Sports Bar will host a benefit for Sam Sierra at 9 p.m. Jan. 24, with entertainment from some of Philly’s favorite talent, including Lascivious Jane and members of Liberty City Drag Kings & Burlseque, Aeryanah Von Moi, Ladie Geisha, Tasker Morris and members of the Dumpsta Players.

The $8 cover includes a free drink, with 100 percent of the door fees going directly to Sierra’s recovery and medical expenses.

The event will also feature a 50/50 raffle, drink specials and an array of door prizes, courtesy of community donors.

Sierra, a doorman at Tabu, was attacked at 2:40 a.m. Dec. 27. He and Tabu manager Joe Beese were headed towards Jefferson Station to catch a train back to their Fishtown homes. After stopping to urinate in front of the Mitchell & Ness sporting-goods store on 12th Street, Sierra was approached by three males and two females, and a verbal altercation ensued.

The group began to walk away, but two

of the males turned back and physically assaulted Sierra, knocking him unconscious for several minutes despite Beese’s attempts to fend off the attackers.

Sierra was released from Temple University Hospital after a week of being treated for brain injuries and seizures. He is not able to work while he recovers from his injuries.

Sierra, who is gay, does not remember if any of the assailants made homophobic or anti-LGBT remarks.

Police are still searching for suspects and no arrests have been made.

One of the attackers is described as a white male of Middle-Eastern or Indian descent, in his 20s, between 6 feet and 6-foot-2, approximately 280 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a beard and mustache, wearing a black jacket with a gold zipper and dark black jeans.

The second is described as a white male in his 20s, between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot8, approximately 140 pounds, with light brown hair in a long ponytail, wearing a black leather jacket with multiple zippers and blue jeans.

Anyone with information about the suspects is asked to call Detective Andracchio at Central Detective Division, 215-6863093. n

Trans woman wanted in connection with stabbing

By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com Two people beat and stabbed a man in a Center City fast-food restaurant last Wednesday night, and police believe one of the culprits is transgender.

According to the police report, the 21-year-old victim was sitting inside Wendy’s at 11th and Walnut streets around 8:30 p.m. when the two assailants approached him. A verbal altercation ensued, possibly over the victim’s cell phone that was on the table, which then escalated into physical violence.

The assault was captured on video and showed the victim and the two assailants struggling in the middle of the restauNEWS BRIEFING from page 2

rant. According to Officer Little, a police spokesperson, the victim was stabbed in the chest and in the right side of his body with a box cutter by the first suspect, who was described as a black male with a dark complexion, in his mid-20s and approximately 5-foot-8.

The complainant was also punched twice in the right eye by the second suspect, described as a mid-20s black transgender woman wearing a black wig and purple beret and approximately 6-foot-5.

Officer Little said the wound to the victim’s chest was superficial and his eye was bruised and swollen.

As of presstime, no arrests had been made. n Jones filed suit against the city in 2013, seeking in excess of $50,000 in damages.

The officer claims a supervisor outed him throughout the department, which triggered pervasive harassment and discrimination.

But the city contends that Jones’ lawsuit is meritless and seeks its dismissal.

Oral arguments in the dispute are set for 10 a.m. Jan. 28 in Room 232 of City Hall.

Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge Linda A. Carpenter is scheduled to preside.

If Jones’ complaint isn’t dismissed, a non-jury trial is expected in September, according to court records. n

First same-sex couple to wed aboard Love Train

By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com Each year, the City of Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program organizes the wedding of a couple on the Love Train, which takes participants past its “Love Letter” murals in West Philadelphia.

The event, now it its fifth — and potentially final — year, will for the first time ever feature the wedding of a same-sex couple.

“Since we first conducted the Love Train five years ago we have wanted to celebrate marriage equality by holding a same-sex wedding aboard the train,” said Mural Arts executive director Jane Golden, noting that heterosexual couples had wed aboard the train in the past. “In fact, we didn’t want to repeat a wedding unless it was a gay wedding and that wasn’t legal yet.”

But, with Pennsylvania legalizing same-sex marriage in May, Golden said, the wedding planning took off.

“Now that it is [legal], we are thrilled to be able to bring marriage equality to the Love Train in 2015! And we’re still looking for that special couple to tie the knot aboard the train.”

Mural Arts and PGN are currently seeking applications from local same-sex couples to be the main participants in the Feb. 8 event.

The marriage will be performed by the Hon. Daniel J. Anders, Philadelphia’s first openly gay male judge, and will be followed by a reception at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel. The winning couple will receive 25 tickets for family and friends. An additional limited number of tickets

will be sold to the public.

The Love Train is a privately chartered, slowspeed, guided ride amid the 50 “Love Letter” rooftop murals along the Market-Frankford SEPTA line in West Philadelphia.

The murals were painted by world-renowned street artist Stephen “ESPO” Powers in direct response to the Market Street closure — which took years longer than expected, and forced many minority-owned businesses to close their doors, according to Brian Campbell, executive assistant to Golden and former project manager for the Love Letter project.

“Steve had the idea to send a multi-layered ‘love letter’ to the city, and West Philadelphia,” Campbell said. “They’re like little Valentine’s messages in Powers’ signature quirky, day-today style.”

Some of the murals in the series are only visible from the train. Others can be seen from ground level.

The “Love Letter” tour is available year-round — mostly on weekends — but the special Love Train event will only be held noon-3 p.m. Feb. 8.

This year’s event is in collaboration with PGN, Wired 96.5 FM, Loews Philadelphia Hotel, Cakes by Maryellen, Yards Brewing Company, William Way LGBT Community Center and SEPTA. Interested couples should send their love stories to lovetrain2015@muralarts.org by Jan. 26.

LGBT day of service returns to philly

By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com The local LGBT and ally community will again celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with a day of service honoring his memory and that of another pioneering activist.

The MLK Day of Service, organized by the Team Bayard planning committee, returns Jan. 19 to William Way LGBT Community Center, 1315 Spruce St. Begun last year, the event includes an array of service projects focused on LGBT causes. The effort pays tribute to the late Bayard Rustin, a top advisor to King who is credited with organizing the March on Washington and who was gay.

About 60 people participated in the inaugural event, said committee co-chair SharRon Cooks, and organizers expect an even-larger crowd next week.

“We have everyone’s emails who participated last year so were able to do an email blast letting them know we’re doing it again, and we expect a lot of new volunteers to participate as well,” she said.

Volunteers will be able to choose among a number of projects: telephone banking for Equality Pennsylvania in support of the statewide LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination bill; a Gayborhood beautification project; painting the AIDS Library at Philadelphia FIGHT; serving a lunch to the residents of the John C. Anderson Apartments and completing apartment WWCC from page 1

gram goals include: growing the archives, stabilizing the center’s permanent art collection, creating new opportunities for community involvement in program creation, expanding senior programs, enhanced coalition-building around timely topics that affect LGBTs and allies, as well as celebrating the 40th anniversary of the organization.

“The center is also a major partner in the 50th-anniversary celebration of the Reminder marches on Independence Mall,” Bartlett noted. “We are going to have an incredible year of LGBT history at the birthplace of freedom.”

Bartlett attributes the continuing success of the center to its more-than 250 volunteers who help with the day-to-day operations.

“This year, there will be even more opportunities to volunteer,” he said.

Which is part of the center’s strategy to accomplish the goals listed above: get as many people through the doors as possible, Bartlett said.

The center also touted a number of accomplishments from last year.

Among the most praiseworthy were: the

repairs; and assisting Hearts on a Wire with a letter-writing campaign to inmates, among other efforts. Philadelphia AIDS Thrift will be accepting clothing donations at the center throughout the event, which runs from 12:30-4:30 p.m.. A number of community agencies will be present at the center, such as The Colours Organization, which will be offering safe-sex kits and HIV-prevention materials and conducting testing.

Cooks encouraged LGBTs and allies to get involved with the effort, in honor of the work of King, Rustin and countless others.

“Martin Luther King provided service not just to the African-American community but all communities, and he had a message of diversity and working together. And it was an African-American gay man who helped lead the March on Washington, and his story has just started coming to the forefront in the last few years; it’s so encouraging that a member of the LGBT community was so integrally involved in the march and in the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” she said. “So I think it’s good for people to participate for service reasons and also for historical reasons.”

Mazzoni Center elects new prez, leaders

By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com The board of directors of Mazzoni Center recently brought on new leadership and members.

Last month, the board elected Dr. Jimmy Ruiz president and attorney Jason Cohen vice president. Ruiz had served as vice president since 2011 and Cohen DR. JIMMY RUIZ as a board member since 2013. Bar owner Michael Weiss was elected secretary, and Wells Fargo Bank branch manager Christopher Pope was re-elected treasurer.

The board also brought on three new members: Dr. Marla Gold, Dorothy Mann and Kathleen Padilla.

Ruiz, 42, is an OB/GYN at Abington Memorial Hospital, where he has been employed since 1999, shortly after he earned his medical degree from Hahnemann University Hospital. He grew up in Staten Island and moved to the area in 1994 for medical school.

Ruiz said medicine was a career goal of his since childhood, although he initially intended to go into a different specialty.

“That actually was a surprise. I originally thought I was probably going to go into pediatrics or surgery,” he said. “I did not think OB/GYN, but I was exposed to it during medical school and it seemed like a great fit; everything else seemed to pale in comparison.”

Ruiz went to medical school with Dr. Robert Winn, who now serves as Mazzoni’s medical director, and was introduced to the organization in 2005 by his primary doctor, who sat on the agency’s board.

“He invited me to one of the fundraising events, and it was eye-opening,” Ruiz said.

“I had never heard of the organization, so it gave me exposure and I wanted to get involved.”

Ruiz formalized his relationship with Mazzoni in 2008 when he joined the board. During his time as a board member, one of the agency’s biggest moves was incorporating the legal-services department that used to be housed at Equality Pennsylvania into its own agency.

“I was relatively new to the board when we made the decision to incorporate legal services. I’m really in awe of how that has flourished,” he said. “One would think that we’re a traditional medical center, and what would we need a legal-services department for, but it has really made sense and everyone involved has helped push it forward to a point where I don’t know if I could picture Mazzoni Center without the legal component now. It’s such a complement to our other services.”

Ruiz said he was surprised, but honored, when a fellow board member nominated him for board vice president in 2011.

While not formally recognized as the succession plan, he said, the vice-president position is considered the stepping stone to the president role.

“I was honored by that opportunity,” he said.

The president term is officially two years, but Ruiz said it can be extended, as it was for the previous president.

Among his goals as president, Ruiz said, is to oversee the consolidation of Mazzoni’s services into one central location.

“It’s always been the vision of the board and of Nurit to try to find a new home for Mazzoni that would put all the services under one roof. So I would like to see us consolidate everything while I’m still seated as president.” n

Officer’s testimony renews hope in Morris case

This exhibition is a collaboration between the National Museum of American Jewish History and the Idelsohn Society for Musical Preservation.

For the past 12 years, an outstanding question in the Nizah Morris case has been whether Officer Elizabeth Skala was authorized to give a Center City “courtesy ride” to Morris.

Morris was very inebriated at the time, and Skala told investigators she wanted to take her home. Shortly after the ride, Morris was found by passing motorists at 16th and Walnut streets with a fractured skull.

The trans woman died two days later, on Dec. 24, 2002, and her homicide remains unsolved.

Last week, Skala testified in an unrelated DUI trial dating back to May 2002, seven months prior to the Morris incident. After refreshing her memory by reviewing police records, Skala testified that she received approval from a supervisor prior to making an arrest in the DUI case.

Skala’s ability to recall that detail offers hope that she’ll be able to similarly recall if a supervisor authorized the Morris courtesy ride.

It’s a key question, due to concerns that Morris’ head injury was caused by Skala and/or other responding officers, who then covered up the ride and subsequent homicide.

If it can be shown that a supervisor knew about the ride from its inception, concerns of an early cover-up attempt by responding officers would be negated.

On six separate occasions, beginning in January 2003, Skala gave testimony to investigators about the courtesy ride. On each occasion, Skala indicated that her decision to give the ride was made independently, without input from a supervisor.

In December 2006, Skala went so far as to tell the Police Advisory Commission that permission from a supervisor wasn’t needed, because the ride only spanned three blocks.

But her testimony is directly contradicted by a statement by Sgt. Michael Dougherty, who was Skala’s supervisor at the time of the Morris incident. In September 2003, Dougherty told the District Attorney’s

Out Law Only in

Office that Skala called him on her cell phone and asked for permission to give Morris a ride, which he granted.

The PAC members didn’t know about Dougherty’s statement when questioning Skala, and she’s never been publicly confronted about it.

But the conflicting statements were cited by the PAC in 2013, when it recommended state and federal probes of the Morris case.

Advocates for Morris say it’s not too late to ask Skala about Dougherty’s version of events, in light of her ability to recall details of the DUI incident, which occurred prior to Morris’ homicide.

Former state Rep. Babette Josephs is a member of the Justice for Nizah committee.

She said J4N seeks clarity on all aspects of the Morris case, including whether Dougherty gave permission for the courtesy ride.

“Nizah isn’t alive to tell her story,” Josephs told PGN. “At the very least, we’re entitled to know the police story. Did a supervisor give permission for the courtesy ride? The public has a right to know the answer to that important question.”

Resolving factual disputes about the ride would improve police-community relations, Josephs added.

“How can concerned citizens be engaged in effective police oversight, when we can’t even get this basic information?” she posed.

“Is the problem a lack of supervision over patrol officers? Or do the supervisors need training, because they’re giving permission for problematic activity?”

Last month, Josephs sent an email to D.A. Seth Williams, asking that he meet with a contingent of J4N members. As of presstime, Williams hadn’t replied.

“When Seth Williams ran for D.A., he agreed to help bring about transparency in the Nizah Morris case,” Josephs said. “So I’m hoping to hear from him in the near future.”

She said a meeting with Williams could facilitate transparency and accountability in the Morris case.

Numerous organizations have endorsed a state probe of the Morris case. But so far, Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane hasn’t agreed to initiate a probe. n

Philly LGBTQ community must come out in support of MLK D.A.R.E. March

Editorial

Freedom from fear The attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine last week was an assault on freedom of press, freedom of religion and freedom in general — but, rightfully so, the publication is not allowing fear to forego freedom.

Islamist extremists seemingly carried out the bloody attack — that ultimately left 17 people dead — because of the publication’s depictions of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. Instead of shirking controversy, however, the French magazine, which has a lengthy history of nonconformist content, returned to the presses after the attack with a caricature of Muhammad shedding a tear on its cover — a fitting tribute and statement.

The same courage in the face of oppression has been evinced for decades in the LGBT community.

From the picketers who marched outside of Independence Hall calling for LGBT reforms in 1965 to the crowds that refused to back down to police at the Stonewall Inn in 1969 to the demonstrators who risked arrest, attack and stigma calling for action on the HIV/AIDS crisis in 1980s and ’90s to the protesters who mobilized through the streets for marriage equality in recent years, our community knows how to respond to those who want to silence us.

That same spirit is integral to the continued progression of our community and society at large, yet perhaps the most effective way to continue moving forward is by embracing this principle on a microcosmic level — coming out to family, friends and co-workers; owning one’s HIV status; speaking out against restrictive policies and laws. Facing fears relating to our identity on a day-to-day basis alleviates stigma in our own perception and can also help us make strides toward lessening institutionalized discrimination. The more we as a community refuse to allow others who fear our identity to control our actions and attitudes, the freer we become — and the more freely those outside of our community can understand who we are.

The world stood with Charlie Hebdo this past week, and that solidarity will hopefully not be short-lived. Tragedy cuts across all barriers, making it a unifying force and one that ideally will build the foundation to continue fighting for freedom from fear. n

Since becoming a part of Philadelphia’s LGBTQ community, I have heard several LGBTQ community leaders describe Philly as the best city to be gay in America; the Human Rights Campaign gave the city a top score in its 2014 Municipal Equality Index. But there is still work to be done so long as LGBTQ Philadelphians are still subject to racist police practices, economic injustice and unfairly funded schools.

On Jan. 19, more than 10,000 people are expected to turn out for the Martin Luther King Day of Action, Resistance and Empowerment (MLK D.A.R.E.) March through Center City.

This march comes out of the movement to say black lives matter and that police and civilian murders of black people — including Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Renisha McBride, Tamir Rice, Akai Gurley, Islan Nettles, Philadelphians Brandon Tate-Brown and Diamond Williams, and many others — must stop. These issues are LGBTQ issues.

The LGBTQ community should be at this march.

The MLK D.A.R.E. March has three demands: First, an end to the use of “stop and frisk” and the creation of an Independent Police Review Board that is fully empowered and funded. Second, raising the minimum wage and the right to form unions. And third, fair funding for Pennsylvania public schools. Each of these demands is shaped with an eye toward dismantling systemic racism that continues to oppress and marginalize people of color across the city and the United States.

LGBTQ Philadelphians need to come out in support of these demands, because they affect every member of our community.

Marching on Martin Luther King Day is a time for us to speak out while centering the disproportionate impact of these issues on the black LGBTQ community.

When LGBTQ Philadelphians demand an end to “stop and frisk” and call for an Independent Police Review Board that is fully empowered and funded, we are speaking out against racist police practices in our community and nationwide. We are

standing with 48 percent of LGBT respondents to the National Coalition of AntiViolence Programs survey who reported experiencing police misconduct. We are demanding justice for the members of our community who experience homophobic, transphobic and racist violence at the hands of police.

When LGBTQ Philadelphians demand a $15-per-hour minimum wage and the right to form unions, we are standing with the 22 percent of our community living in poverty and the 15 percent of black LGB people and 28 percent of black transgender people who are unemployed.

When LGBTQ Philadelphians demand a fully funded, democratically controlled local school system, we are standing up for our youth who deserve a quality education in a safe environment.

We are demanding better resources for our LGBTQ youth who currently make up 15 percent of the population in the juvenile-justice system, despite only making up 5-7 percent of the general population.

When LGBTQ Philadelphians turn out for the MLK D.A.R.E. March, we are showing that we understand that justice for LGBTQ people cannot come without racial or economic justice.

The MLK D.A.R.E. March begins with a rally at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 19 at 440 N. Broad St. The march will kick off at 2 p.m. and head south to City Hall before turning down Market Street to Independence Mall, where it will end with a second rally.

Those who cannot march can meet up with the rally on Independence Mall at 3:30 p.m. For more information, visit www. facebook.com/ReclaimMLKPHL. If you are looking for other ways to support this work, consider donating to MLK D.A.R.E.’s Go Fund Me (www.gofundme. com/ReclaimMLKPHL), or encourage your organization to endorse the march by emailing MLKDAREPhilly@gmail.com. n

PERSONALITIES PGN

a salon owner, André Richard

The number of keys that hang from André Richard’s key ring is almost comical; dozens clang together as he hurries throughout the Gayborhood from one salon to the next, unlocking doors, opening closets, the weight of the keys doing nothing to slow him down.

Richard, 41, is the owner of three Gayborhood hair salons: André Richard Salon, ARS Lab and ARS Parlour, his latest venture.

Mirrored by the ever-growing weight of his key ring, Richard’s enterprises have been steadily, and organically, growing in the past few years — putting him on a career path he wouldn’t have envisioned for himself even a decade ago.

Richard, a native of Upper Darby, has long had a flair for style, hosting Halloween costume parties at his home as a child. As a teen, he got a job at a local gay bar and a Halloween drag show he performed in at the venue ignited his already-budding stylist passion.

But for many years, his day job was quite removed from the industry; until 2001, he worked as an IT professional for a Center City brokerage firm.

and bringing on new employees.

“I started by myself,” he said. “It was a lot of work getting it off the ground, and I planned to just work by myself. But then I won a few awards and started getting good reviews and it just kind of grew from there.

My assistants started to see clients of their own because I was busy and we all thrived off of one another’s creativity. I had no idea it would go this direction; it wasn’t the plan, it just kind of took me there. And once it was built, it was fun and exciting.”

André Richard Salon now houses nine stations.

In 2013, Richard returned to the Camac Center, 201 Camac St., to launch ARS Lab, which focuses on cutting-edge hair solutions, offered in an upscale, private space. And late last year, Richard opened the Parlour upstairs at the center, a cozy, boutique-style salon.

Richard’s salon group now employs 20 people.

He spends two days behind the chair, seeing about 16 clients per week.

When he’s not working on his own clients, Richard’s workload is steady but varied. Some days he’ll take inventory and order the products each salon needs, and the following day unpack and organize the shipment. His salons carry 10 product

But, after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Richard said he threw caution to the wind and decided to pursue his dream, enrolling in and earning his teacher’s license from Empire Beauty School.

“The whole world was falling apart in 2001, and I thought, I need to do what makes me happy,” Richard said.

He went on to become a hair and makeup artist for television shows and other ventures and, in 2007, opened his first salon.

His namesake business was originally located in a 200-square-foot space in Camac Center. But, after a few months, demand necessitated his moving the salon to its current location at 1218 Locust St.,

lines, and Richard ensures that his stylists are up-to-date with their education regarding each line. Other days he works on payroll or represents the businesses at functions and in media interviews.

But much of the time he’s jetting among the three salons, checking in on his staffers.

“I have to be sure that the staff has everything they need because you don’t want to let your staff down,” he said.

While he wants his employees to trust his oversight, entrusting his properties to his staff also takes a good amount of faith on his part.

“I have a lot of trust in my staff. You have to have good people in the jobs to do

that — everything from accounting people to cleaning to operations. I usually do three to five interviews before making a hire because I really want to make sure they’re the right fit.”

Richard joked that the personalities in the hair-stylist industry can make for challenging work environments, but that’s not the case with his businesses.

“I’m really lucky, I have a great team.

But this industry can be wild. Hairdressers are a little nuts, we are,” he laughed. “I think anyone who’s been in this industry long enough could agree. We’re artists and we have flexibility in our daily lives that a lot of jobs don’t have. My nightmare is that I hire someone and they don’t show up for work; if you’re not disciplined or professional, things can go in a totally different direction. It’s all about integrity.”

While he didn’t initially envision himself in such a position, Richard has become a teacher and mentor to many of his stylists, which he said has become one of the most prized aspects of his work.

“I love watching them grow. We had one stylist who was a lifeguard at the time and he said he could only give us a few hours but I took it because I needed the help. I watched him graduate school, get his license and one day I looked at him and said, ‘I’m busy, you have to do these people,’ and all of a sudden he was just soaring,” Richard said. “He’s moved on since, that’s a natural part of this industry, but watching them start and really climb up is just the best part.”

The salons have three levels of stylists — master, senior and stylists. Richard explained that the trio of businesses grew naturally in correlation to the diverse staff and client base.

“Last time I walked into Locust Street [André Richard Salon], I looked around and it was all younger, trendy staff and the clients were all people in their 20s, getting highlights — foils and long hair all the

way down the row. Then, [the Lab] is more private, quiet; we get news anchors, people who kind of want their own individualized experience here. And then the Parlour is kind of the middle ground between the two; it’s a little bigger than the Lab and allows for a little bit different of an artform. Our three levels of stylists attract so many people from different demographics, and these different spaces kind of grew naturally from that.”

Richard said his salons draw a vast cross-section of the neighborhood — professionals, students, LGBTs and allies, with the client base about equally split among men and women.

“Everyone gets to play here,” he said.

“We’re really well-rounded.”

Richard’s salons are among a number serving the Gayborhood.

But, he said, he doesn’t see that as a negative.

“I couldn’t do 10 percent of all the people who come through this area every day.

There’s enough to go around. And if you’re professional, you’ll always do well,” he said. “When people say, ‘Oh my God, another salon opened,’ I say that it’s good.

We have a Jeweler’s Row and a Fabric Row, let’s have a Salon Row. I don’t feel like I’m trying to compete with anyone; I love to see what other people are doing, and I think there’s ways for us to emulate one another and remain individualized at the same time.”

While his three businesses keep him plenty busy — Richard joked he hasn’t seen a normal 9-to-5 day in years — he acknowledged he’s likely going to have to expand his venture again in the future. In keeping with his history of opening salons with distinct atmospheres, Richard said he’s eager to add a barbershop to his repertoire.

“I have a feeling that more salons will open. We’re an education-based salon so as long as we keep that, we’re not going to have any choice but to keep expanding,” he said. “I’m at a place right now where I do what’s right in front of me when it kind of reveals itself. I don’t know exactly what’s coming next, but we’ll see when we get there.”

was taken, none of which was disturbed,” said Homicide Capt. James Clark in a press conference Tuesday.

Officer Tanya Little, a police spokesperson, said investigators are aware that Jones, who married her partner last month, was a lesbian, and do not yet know if that could have played a role in her killing.

“Investigators have not ruled out anything at this point,” Little said.

The gunman is described as a heavyset black male wearing black clothing and carrying a black duffle bag. Investigators are reviewing video footage from SEPTA, Temple and city cameras to continue looking for clues.

“Someone knew her routine, knew she waited for the bus and waited for her,” Clark said in a press conference Tuesday.

“For whatever reason, she was targeted.”

lapse” during Chester’s trial, partly due to a DUI charge pending against him in Bucks County. He said Edwards’ pending DUI charge and other personal problems impeded his ability to zealously advocate for Chester.

“We’re not saying [Edwards] deliberately threw his client under the bus,” Epstein said. “But he didn’t give him undivided loyalty and the quality representation he deserved.”

Epstein said Edwards failed to properly screen jurors and failed to inform jurors of Laird’s extensive criminal background, among other oversights. Epstein also claimed that Jones made multiple factual and legal errors when rejecting Chester’s conflict-of-interest claim.

For example, Jones misquoted an

Jordan asked if Chester’s attorneys were blurring the lines that separate an attorney’s irrelevant personal problems from a bona-fide conflict of interest.

“How do you morph, ‘My life is a mess’ into a conflict of interest?” he posed.

“Aren’t you erasing the lines?”

Jordan also asked why Chester’s advocates didn’t run a criminal-background check on Edwards prior to 2000, if his life was in such obvious turmoil.

worked as program director of the Families and Schools Together initiative for the past seven years, said Jones was an exemplary employee.

“Extremely smart,” he said about her.

“Always thinking about how to address the challenges in her job.”

Jones’ work focused on providing parent education and support services to families of children in city schools to enhance academic success.

“She lived and breathed the children and families she worked with. When it came to the kids, she was everyone’s mother and grandmother,” Fair said.

“That’s what I will remember most about her. She was one of the most caring people that I met.”

Jones, who earned a master’s of business administration, had been divorced from her ex-husband for more than 25 years, and had two adult sons.

The city is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. n But Epstein said Bucks County officials lulled Chester’s advocates into complacency by making misleading statements about Edwards.

Of the three judges, Ambro appeared the most sympathetic to Chester’s claim.

He said Chester clearly had ineffective assistance of counsel during his 1988 trial. But Ambro stopped short of expressing agreement that Edwards had a conflict of interest, which is the claim before the judges.

Bucks County Chief of Appeals Stephen B. Harris argued that Edwards didn’t have a conflict of interest, and that Chester’s remaining convictions shouldn’t be disturbed.

He said Chester’s attorneys realize Edwards’ DUI charge didn’t pose a conflict, so they added irrelevant personal problems to bolster their case.

Jordan asked if prosecutors will re-try Chester for first-degree murder.

“We’ve got to go back and meet with the [Milano] family and police officers,” Harris replied. “We’ll discuss it with them and come up with a decision.”

Harris said the decision will be made after the court rules on whether Chester’s remaining convictions should be voided.

At the conclusion of the 45-minute hearing, Ambro said: “We’ll take the matter under advisement.”

A decision isn’t expected for several months.

Outside the courtroom, Harris expressed guarded optimism about the case.

“Mr. Chester’s attorneys are trying to put as much into the record as possible, in the hope that the full weight of it will influence the court,” Harris told PGN. “I don’t think that’s an effective strategy.”

Attorneys for Chester declined to comment for this story.

Chester, 46, and Laird, 51, remain on death row in state prisons. Laird’s bid for a new trial is pending in state Supreme Court. n

You say you want a resolution Resolutions are a dime a dozen this time of year — overused, clichéd, often empty.

The word “resolution,” however, means “a firm decision to do or not to do something” or “the act of finding an answer or solution to a conflict or problem.” LGBT older adults face significant health disparities and have historically been underserved by and/ or experienced discrimination by aging-services providers. As Pennsylvania ushers in a new gubernatorial administration in 2015, there is an unprecedented opportunity for resolution and advocacy for LGBT older adults in our communities.

“By the year 2020, the year of perfect vision, the old will outnumber the young.” — Maggie Kuhn, Gray Panthers founder Available statistics confirm Kuhn’s prognostication.

According to the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging’s report “Looking Ahead: Philadelphia’s Aging Population in 2015,” the number of people age 60 and older in Pennsylvania is expected to grow by 37 percent Megan — from 2.4 million in 2000 to 3.2 million in 2020.

The question is, will LGBT older adults be included in the count?

LGBT older adults remain a largely invisible population within aging services in Pennsylvania. Many older adults in our state rely on the aging-services network for a range of supports, including meals on wheels, senior-center programs and in-home services. Many LGBT older adults need and could benefit from these services.

However, little is known about whether or not LGBT older adults are actually utilizing them, because the Pennsylvania Department of Aging does not collect data regarding sexual orientation and gender identity.

In 2013, the New York State Office on Aging began asking LGBT-inclusive questions and collecting data within its aging-services network. As cities and states approach the statistical projections of 2020 at 21st-century speed, the reality is that state plans on aging across the country — but particularly in states such as Pennsylvania, which has one of the highest populations of adults over 60 — must adapt aging services to be more inclusive.

Aging-services providers are grappling with the challenge of serving a multi-generational “older adult” demographic. Many local organizations want to serve LGBT older adults and to do so respectfully and competently. However, local organizations also lack resources for training, outreach and program development to do so.

Without data, state and local resources cannot be targeted. Yet, that data cannot be collected until the state Department of Aging recognizes the need and includes collection of data regarding sexual orientation and gender identity throughout their systems. This is not a chicken or egg prop-

osition. We know that data collection is key.

We know that inclusion of these data points is a first step in this process. We know that with data and information flow resources and services.

The burden is not on the state or aging-services system alone. The LGBT community is in a position to impact how aging services will look in the future.

LGBT elders, and those who provide care and support for them, must demand to be counted. As a new generation ages, there is enormous potential to channel lifetimes of activism to impact what aging services will look like now and for future generations.

Older generations of LGBT individuals have often remained silent due to lifetimes of stigmatization and discrimination. The MetLife Study of LGBT Baby Boomers found that only 10 percent of those surveyed were fearful of discrimination and attributed this shift to the fact that, unlike the generation preceding them, Baby Boomers are an McCoy “activist generation,” less inclined to remain silent and more inclined to advocate for inclusive services.

Collecting data is a start, but then what?

The resolution to ask must not be an empty one. We must hold local and state service providers accountable for how that data is used. Advocacy is needed in Harrisburg, but it is also needed on the ground in Philadelphia’s neighborhoods. LGBT older adults’ voices need to be counted in senior centers, in adult day programs, in nursing homes.

LGBT communities have seen historic shifts in recent years. Advocacy to add a few questions to state-mandated forms may not be as glamorous as a Supreme Court victory. However, it is critical to creating a system that acknowledges the existence of LGBT elders. It has implications not just for those who are “old” but for LGBT individuals of all ages.

We are all aging.

We must demand to be counted, now and in the future.

This is not a resolution. This is resolution. n

The Also-Rans Abraham 20-1; Diaz 50-1; Gillen Out

I

n our last two editions we analyzed the mayoral candidacies of State Senator Anthony Williams and former City Solicitor Ken Trujillo — the frontrunners in our view. Today we review the back of the field. But we do so with an initial caveat. In 2007 Michael Nutter, by both conventional wisdom and public polling, entered the field in the “also ran” category. Anyone who has spent any time at a racetrack (and we confess we have) knows that horses can come from deep in the field to win in the backstretch.

...a grassroots campaign does not take hold in the asphalt jungle of Philly mayoral politics.

Gillen Out. One horse that will not be in the field is Terry Gillen, former staffer for Mayor’s Nutter and Rendell, and the first to announce her candidacy. Earlier this month, Gillen established herself as the First-In-First-Out candidate when she bailed on the race. Gillen doubled down on her delusional candidacy, stating: “Even though we did really well in terms of fundraising, it was not enough” Gillen told the Daily News. Raising $225,000 in four months might be considered a good job for a state representative candidate; it is pathetic for a

mayoral candidate. Gillen’s final delusion — that she ran a “positive, grassroots, idea driven campaign” — begs her supporters and the rest of us to name one idea her campaign stood for. Gillen learned one lesson the hard way from stubbing her toes in the political pool — a grassroots campaign does not take hold in the asphalt jungle of Philly mayoral politics.

Nelson Diaz 50 – 1 While former Common Pleas Court Judge Nelson Diaz has yet to formally announce his candidacy for mayor, his unequivocal statement of his intent to do so in mid-January places him on the odds board, though the longest shot in the field.

His race seems to be predicated on the notion that, of the non-African-American candidates, only he can win Black votes, telling newswork.org’s Dave Davies, “Lynne is a great candidate, but she won’t be able to get black votes. Ken has done nothing in the black community, so he can’t get black votes.”

While we admire political candor in our candidates, this is hardly the inspiring vision we want out of our mayoral candidates. If indeed, the air in the crossover White vote room of the liberal wards will be sucked up by the other Latino-surnamed candidate in the field, Ken Trujillo, Diaz will need all the African-American votes he can get; we just don’t see him getting enough to make the difference.

Launching so late in the calendar compounds the problem for Diaz. While end-of-year campaign

finance reports have not been made public, it is believed that Williams and Trujillo will be well into six figures, if not seven. As the campaign limits are capped annually and not by campaign cycle, the 2014 contributors to each can now double down in 2015. Diaz has no such capability, having not fund-raised in 2014. Someone is going to have to implode in this field for Diaz to become competitive and, at this stage, we cannot see that happening.

Lynne Abraham: 25 - 1 As those who have followed our handicapping of this race, the first metric is, well, race. And for this reason alone, Abraham is a long shot. While the death penalty DA may win you a New York Times Magazine story and some votes in the White ethnic divisions of our city, it is fatal, so to speak, for a candidacy in the African-American community.

Her last competitive primary race for DA, against a woefully underfunded AfricanAmerican candidate, had her losing every African-American ward in the city. And that was two decades before Ferguson and Staten Island. If anything, the fact that there is only one African-American in the race makes her candidacy more improbable. Should she start to move in the polls, the African-American vote may move to coalesce against her.

The second metric — her political strengths, particularly among Jewish voters in Center City and the Northeast, will, we believe, be far outweighed by voters’ uneasiness with a campaign that seems to be backward looking and racially devisive. Mummers at her announcement followed by the stunt that had her in Darrell Clarke’s office with a letter demanding PGW hearings, tell us all we need to know about her campaign.

The third metric — money — may be a game changer for Abraham but only if she moves into a clear money advantage over Williams or Trujillo, which we do not believe will materialize.

Plymouth Whitemarsh Continued from page 12 down. We had to keep them offbalance through our defense, and hopefully wear them down some, though that seems to be almost ridiculous to say seeing how deep they can go. The issue is if we play a half-court game, their bigs will most likely prove to be too much over a 32-minute run. We also needed to shoot extremely well, and the first half was special, similar to what Temple did to Kansas last week. That opened up my eyes. There are also two other staples that have to happen if you even want a chance to compete with Chester, and that is to fight like crazy on the boards and handle their press. I thought we fought well on the boards, and, as far as pressure is concerned, we understood that we were basically playing ourselves, because that is what we do, so we were somewhat prepared. We take an awful lot of pride in how we pressure, and we needed to see for ourselves how well it would work against a team of their caliber.”

But 10-0, coach? Could you ever have imagined?

“I had a sense in the summer that we were capable of a good run,” said Donofrio. “It all depended on how the juniors developed. We are a very tight-knit team, and then, with the addition of Xavier, we had to sort of help him to learn our system and blend in with what is, basically, a band of brothers. Whenever you schedule a Friends Central or Chester you can’t be so brave as to think 10-0. Knowing our guard play, however, and the fact that we seem to traditionally be a team that has early season success, I sensed it was possible. Now the

2

challenge for the kids changes, because winning games against Chester and George Washington draws a lot of early attention our way. I’ve been fortunate enough to have coached a few teams that were in ‘frontrunner’ mode all season long. I hope our kids can keep their focus on the bigger picture with this and not let it take some of their edge. We don’t want these wins to be our biggest moments, of the season, as positive as it is.”

Donofrio added that after last year’s disappointing exit in the playoffs that all the team has worked on is mental preparation to make a deep run in the district and state tournaments. “We want to enjoy the journey along the way, but our goal is to win championships, and if we are the caliber of team I think we are in terms of character, we should know how to use this as fuel to propel us to another plateau in terms of performance, and not let it create a false sense of happiness and accomplishment,” he said.

The veteran coach, who has a state title under his belt, said that more than anything, this group is fun to coach because “these are great kids who are great teammates to each other and who represent our program and school with as much pride and humility as any I have ever had. They give each other everything they have in terms of commitment and energy. A coach can’t ask for more than that. They are year-round hoops junkies who make it fun, and they deserve success.”

Gift of Art New York producer/director brings musical production to Philly

by Sheila Simmons

D

ywayne Moody knows what it’s like to have a passion for performing but no outlet for it, and the pressure of looking out into the audience of a New York production, hopeful that the travel arrangements for out-of-town friends and family came through.

On Jan. 10 and 11, the Philadelphia native who has performed in such Broadway productions as “Dreamgirls” and “A Raisin in the Sun,” brought his reworked production of “Four Conversations” to his hometown.

“This is my gift to my mother,” he says.

“Four Conversations,” at the Arts Bank, at S. Broad and South streets, is the story of two married couples and a protégé of one of the women, all of whom have the appearance of successful lives but are haunted by feelings of “something missing,” which they share in personal journals.

The soulful musical ends with the 1974 LaBelle hit, “What Can I Do For You,” which opens with “People want true things or nothing at all.”

Moody came to theater by way of City Line Dinner Theatre, where he worked as a busboy.

“[Four Conversations] is a gift to my mother...”

“I have always been intrigued with entertainment. I always told my mother I wanted to be in the entertainment field,” says Moody, 52. Acting “really teaches you discipline, that you have to be totally focused. You have to know your character so well that if anything goes wrong, you don’t break character.”

But Moody — a producer, director, playwright and choreographer — first distinguished himself with dance, winning a scholarship with PHILADANCO! and later performing with the Lula Washington Los Angeles Contemporary Dance Company. He joined the Navy. And when stationed in San Diego and Los Angeles, he spent time in the dance studio and at-

tending auditions.

“Some got cast as dancers, some didn’t,” Moody says. “I couldn’t understand why, and started thinking ‘I can write.’ And I wrote my first screenplay.”

While a student at West Philadelphia High, an English teacher “saw something in my writing,” Moody recalls. After he joined the yearbook staff, that teacher helped him start, and become editor of, the high school newspaper.

In 2004, Moody moved to New York, where he wrote and produced “Lovin’ on the Low … the Downlow” and “Four Conversations,” at the Symphony Space.

While Philadelphia’s creative economy is growing, Moody says the black theater community in Philadelphia is small. Substantial numbers of Philadelphians travel to New York to audition for his productions, and vow to commute for rehearsals three times a week.

So now that his always supportive mother can’t easily travel to New York for productions, he’s happy to bring his talents home: “If I can take a little piece of my appreciation and give it back, that’s what I want to do.”

Plymouth Whitemarsh Is the Area’s Surprise Team Coach Donofrio cites team’s mental toughness

by Jeremy Treatman

T

he two biggest surprise teams in the area this year are George Washington and Plymouth Whitemarsh. Lo and behold, the two squads met Jan. 3 at Colonial Elementary School with only one loss combined. Both teams have monumental wins over Chester in Chester. For George Washington it was its first win ever over the Clippers. For PW, it was the second time the Colonials had pulled off the feat.

When it was over, Plymouth Whitemarsh (10-0) survived against the Eagles 69-67 in a thriller, full of lead changes and momentum breaking plays. PW remains the only suburban team in District 1 to be undefeated at this time. GW is 9-2.

“The Chester win (Dec. 29) put us on an emotional high, which was to be expected,” said Donofrio. “The problem with that,

of course, is that you have to play again, and as a coach you know that the unknown is whether your team is going to use that type of win to gather momentum or fall flat due to an emotional letdown. We are still very much evolving as a team, so playing George Washington immediately after Chester was a huge test. I wasn’t sure if we quite understood what level of physical and emotional energy it would take to come right back and play at that same high level, which is what makes the win very special and very important, even this early in the season, because we just proved to ourselves that we have a very strong will to win. We pushed through emotional flatness and overcame an eight-point deficit late, against a very tough, quick and talented team. It is a great win if for no other reason than it shows us we have some

serious depth in the area of mental tough- have as good of a shot as any team in the ness. In that way it holds as much value in postseason.” Donofrio said he was inspired the long run as the Chester win.” With the by Temple’s shocking rout of Kansas earlier win, Plymouth Whitemarsh takes the sixth this season as he prepped his team for Chesspot in our first area poll (see LCP Boys ter, always a state contending AAAA team Basketball Rankings) with a chance to rise. in District 1.

The Colonials actually had a strong season “I think it was actually fairly obvious last year but fell early in the district playoffs what we had to do against the Clippers,” and never even made the states. “We were he said. “Since our scoring is so guard young and inexperienced and failed to play oriented and we play a high energy, 85the game we needed to have success in the foot game it would be silly for us to all of postseason,” said Donofrio. “I had a strong a sudden get cautious and slow the game feeling this offseason that we could put Continued on page 2 things together and come together as a team to have a much better season.”

One major reason for that is the backcourt of Jimmy Murray and Andre Mitchell, two scholarship level student-athletes who have risen to the occasion at the end of both the Chester and George Washington wins.

“High school basketball is about guard play,” said Donofrio. “We have Here are our top-ranked teams at this juncture of the two three-year varsity guys in Murseason: ray and Mitchell who are at least 1.

the bearded Ladies go crazy with ‘Mommie Queerest’

By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com The Bearded Ladies Cabaret is enlisting the talents of local cabaret star Dito van Reigersberg for its latest fundraiser: a live musical, all-queer version of the cult classic film “Mommie Dearest,” Jan. 26 and Feb. 2 at The Wilma Theater.

“Mommie Queerest” turns the bat-crapcrazy drama into a camp opera, in which van Reigersberg — alter ego of drag star Martha Graham Cracker and co-founder of Pig Iron Theatre Company — and Bearded Ladies artistic director John Jarboe battle endlessly over who gets to portray the iconic unhinged and facecream-smeared Joan Crawford.

“It’s a camp opera using excerpts from the ‘Mommie Dearest’ film and some

relevant pop songs,” Jarboe said. “We put together a choir that will be singing behind Dito and myself. It’s pretty hilarious. All the audience members are going to get goodie bags with a wire hanger, hand sanitizer, a swimming cap and a small cardboard ax, so it will feel ‘Rocky Horror Picture’-esque.”

And exactly what kind of music goes well with maniacal narcissism and abuse?

“It’s more than one style,” Jarboe said.

“It’s about the juxtapositions of styles. It’s a romantic opera sound mixed with soul and funk.”

Oh, something with a good beat. We get it.

Aside from having the purpose of being a riotously good time, the show also explores the gay community’s fascination with the dark themes at the core of

“Mommie Dearest,” which wasn’t much of a critical or box-office success when it debuted in 1981, but went on to gain a sizable cult following.

“Mommie Dearest’ is a special story for gay men in particular,” Jarboe said. “We identify with the domineering abusive mother and the abused child at the same time. It’s the reason why it’s become a cult classic. I feel like the gay community has really embraced it. Joan Crawford has staying power. She’s fascinating. There’s this strange identification that certain generations, especially gay men, have with those characters that keeps drawing us in.

‘Mommie Queerest’ is about that identification and so I start out playing Joan, Dito plays Christina and then we switch roles partway through. Then the choir plays Joan Crawford and we play Christina and

then the audience plays Joan Crawford.

We keep passing the role back and forth throughout the show.”

Jarboe added that making the production all-queer only ups the entertainment value of the story.

“It’s already pretty queer,” he said of the original story. “It’s been appropriated by queer culture and we are inhabiting that fully and trying to manifest fully theatrically that identification that I am talking about. I think the scenes are relevant, this idea of putting us in that story and queer identification with those stories. YouTube has brought back a lot of old things, a recycling of queer imagery. So it’s in the air.”

“Mommie Queerest” is just the latest in a number of shows starring Jarboe and van Reigersberg. Jarboe PAGE 22

SharRon Cooks: Overcoming obstacles through community service “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”

— Martin Luther King, Jr. This week’s Portrait certainly exemplifies those words of the late great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Among her many community ventures, SharRon Cooks is the co-chair of Team Bayard, heading up the MLK Day of Service programs at William Way LGBT Community Center and around the city.

PGN: Where are you originally from?

SC: I was born in Camden and grew up in Pennsauken, N.J. We moved there when I was about 13. I came from a very — I won’t say strict — but traditional Christian home.

I was raised with very strong Christian morals and values. We went to church Monday through Sunday and I went to a private Christian academy. My grandparents, my aunt and uncle were very distinguished members of the church; in fact, my uncle helped found it. So most of my younger years were spent as a churchgoer. Lots of Bible study.

PGN: What denomination was it?

SC: It was actually nondenominational. At the time, the church was called Soul Searchers and now they’re called Gatekeepers. Back then, Admiral Wilson Boulevard, where they were located, was full of adult-entertainment bookstores and theaters and my family and the church were instrumental in getting them taken down.

PGN: Now they’re liquor stores!

SC: [Laughs] Yes, so you can see I had an interesting upbringing when it comes to religion. The family has always shaped what we do around service and giving back to others.

Many of them are missionaries and build schools in Africa, mostly in Kenya.

PGN: I understand that a lot of the homophobia spreading in Africa is because of some missionaries like Scott Lively. I’m hoping they’re not part of that.

SC: That’s in Uganda. In my experience with my family, it’s not like that. As long as they know a person gives back and is in service to others, that’s what’s important to them. Being respectful and staying true to the values that they instilled in me are the things that keep us together as a family.

Often there’s a lot of dissention with LGBT people who were raised in religious families and there was a period of adjustment with me too; we faced some challenges, but once they saw that I was in service and bettering myself through higher education, it changed our relationship and we became a family again.

It’s love and faith that keeps us together.

PGN: My extended family is very religious too but I think — in part from being mixed

racially — we’ve been pretty open and liberal for a few generations.

SC: Funny you should say that; my grandfather is biracial with light skin and gray eyes.

He married a brown-skinned woman but their kids came out very light. So people on that side of the family are all over the place: your complexion, my complexion. In fact, when I was born, my hair was blond and my eyes were blue. But I’ve always had a strong sense of being an African-American person and that’s how I’ve always identified. It was challenging in school. I’m not the lightest person in the African-American rainbow, but there were still some colorist issues in school and in society in general, even within the LGBT community.

PGN: So do you think being an openly LGBT person helped the religious factions in your family be more open-minded?

SC: My family respects the fact that I’m of service to the community, any community as long as I’m a contributing member of society in a valuable and purposeful way.

My sister is a lesbian and she just got married in September. In fact, she and her wife are expecting and the baby shower is today.

The non-religious side of the family were all there to support her, but the religious side didn’t participate in the wedding, they just don’t quite understand it yet. I think that, because of their beliefs, they have a very set idea of what sexuality and gender identity are and what they’re supposed to be.

air and catch it behind my back! I did well academically too.

PGN: What was a favorite band memory?

SC: When we competed for division championships at Giants Stadium and won. My parents were in the stands and they were so proud. I was easy to spot because I was the only African-American kid out there, with dyed blond hair. There was a long hallway leading onto the field and I’ll never forget waiting to go on to this gigantic field with bright lights in front of a huge audience. It was a wow moment! After we performed, we were standing holding hands waiting for the results and when we heard that we won, the place just erupted. It was a great experience.

I had a lot of fun. We got to travel all over for competitions but that was the best.

PGN: Where did you go after high school?

SC: The summer right before my senior year I started coming to Philadelphia with two friends who were familiar with the LGBT scene in town. It was a major awakening for

PGN: Now you have me confused: I thought that you said that because of your service, they accepted you.

SC: Because of my service they respect me.

There’s a difference.

PGN: Got it. How many siblings do you have?

SC: Two. My sister and a brother, who’s 14 years younger.

PGN: How was growing up in Pennsauken?

SC: It was great, we had the American dream: a five-bedroom house in the suburbs with a two-car garage. I’m very appreciative for it. Most people born in depressed urban areas never get out; they live there and die there for generations. My family sacrificed and worked very hard to give us the best opportunities they possibly could. For that, I’m immensely grateful. Because of it, I’m now in a position to be of service to others, to seek higher education and help my community.

PGN: What were some of your youthful activities outside of church?

SC: I was into a lot. I was in the chess club and went to competitions. I did indoor guard and color guard. I played clarinet, saxophone and trumpet in band. I was in the flag line; I can still twirl a riffle or flag, throw it in the

me. I was always very open in high school and it was starting to get me in trouble. My hair was long and I wore make-up and I got suspended several times for using the girls’ bathroom, which is one of the reasons that, when I went to Community College of Philadelphia, I fought for gender-neutral bathrooms. But anyway, I’d never known that there was an LGBT community. I’d been so sheltered in the suburbs so that just getting off PATCO at 13th and Locust would make me catch my breath at seeing the big build-

ings and all the people and the energy of the city. It was a new world. I was a girl going to the clubs with two gay-identified men meeting all sorts of new friends. I got into the ball culture and traveled to New York and Baltimore and all over. It was exciting for a teenager and when it came time to go back to school in September, I was full-on dressing in full make-up and hair, nails done and wearing dresses, which did not go over well in Pennsauken High School. There were a lot of challenges that year. My parents were constantly being called to the school. The funny thing is that there was never a problem with other students. You would think there would have been some bullying or teasing but there wasn’t; the only people who had a problem with it were the teachers and administrators.

I finally dropped out because they made it so difficult. My parents had a hard time as well.

They may have had an easier time accepting it if I was gay-identified but the trans thing was harder to comprehend. I resemble my mother and she would say, “I don’t understand why you’re trying to look like me!” So I ran away to Philadelphia.

My parents tried to look for me but I hung out in places they wouldn’t find me. I was 18 and naïve, I had a lot of fun but also got into a lot of trouble. I did and was exposed to things that … I think the problem that my family had the most was my behavior. My experience was different from a lot of people I met. Many of them had never been close to their families, many had abusive parents. Some had been fending for themselves since they were 7 or 8 and been victimized in various ways.

They were kicked out of their homes whereas I ran away from a suburban home to lay on the floor of an abandoned building. I made that choice and my family didn’t understand. The emotion was, “We didn’t sacrifice so much to give you opportunities to have you on the streets acting like you have no education or culture or ethics.” It took me a long time to understand, OK, it’s not necessarily this that they’re upset about, it’s that my conduct was not what they worked so hard for. When we finally started to heal our relationship was when I let them know that I was ready to respect and honor the values and principles they raised me with and to appreciate the opportunities that they gave me that many people never got. They’ve always let me know that I was loved and no matter where I was they always kept in touch and sent care packages PAGE 26

Derby rolls into 10th season with some broad changes Philly Rollergirls are no more.

Welcome Philly Roller Derby. The organizational transformation begins this year with the announcement of the name switch to accommodate changes that are already occurring in the local league and in many other cities.

Roller derby is becoming completely gender-inclusive.

Yep. That’s right, guys. You can lace up and play now also. But I would strongly urge you to go to a match or two first to get a feel for what you might encounter. This ain’t no skating rink. You could probably get hurt watching.

Last week, Philly Roller Derby announced the decision to drop the gender-specific “girls” from the league’s namesake. Many of the skaters are in complete agreement and general manager Joe Salenetri proclaimed, “As our league and the sport of roller derby continue to grow, it has become evident that identifying as ‘roller girls’ may feel exclusionary to some in our community.” This shift comes as Philly Roller Derby celebrates its 10th year.

Regarding further changes and announcements, Salenetri said, “A name change is just one step in creating a welcoming and safe environment for all of our current and future members.”

He added that the recognizable Liberty Bell and skates logo would remain the same.

Information for this year’s schedule, tryouts and practice is not available yet, but will be posted at phillyrollerderby. com.

Rolling up their wings Philly Roller Derby members are chomping at the bit for their annual vegan wing bowl competition. Want to meet some of the players and maybe even win some money at the same time? The Vegan Wing Bowl has been set for 3 p.m. Jan. 31 at The Abbaye, 637 N. Third St. (As curious as vegan wings sound, I just had to try them last year and they really are pretty good!)

This year a second competition for bragging rights debuts: vegan pie-eating. I don’t know for sure what the primary filling is yet, but it should make for some pretty fun moments. Check photos from these combined events in Get Out and Play next month.

Fins in the water The Fins are starting 2015 much like they started 2014: with the annual Postal Swim to raise money for the organization and a selected nonprofit. Last year the money was split with the American Cancer Society in memory of recently deceased Fins member Dennis Clegg.

The premise is simple: Each swimmer completes as many laps as he/she can in a set time. Pledges can be made per lap for a specific swimmer, or a flat amount can be donated to the organization.

The fundraiser is from 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Jan. 25 at Friends Select School, 1651 Benjamin Franklin Parkway. If you would like to pledge to the team or an individual, forms are on the Fins’ website at philadelphiafins.org/postalswim.php. Better yet, join me that Sunday morning and cheer on your favorite Speedo-clad swimmer.

DODGING BALLS: The number of indoor-sport options for the LGBT community jumped by two this past week as Stonewall Sports Philadelphia began organized play of dodgeball and volleyball. Dodgeball began Jan. 11 at St. Paul’s Community Center, 1018 Wallace St., and volleyball served up the first games Jan. 13 at Parkway Center City High School, 540 N. 13th St. Each sport runs nine weeks. They are both part of Stonewall’s growing presence in Philadelphia, which might not yet be done expanding.

In Washington, D.C., where Stonewall birthed the kickball leagues, it also has leagues for bocce and darts. The two latest sports added to the Philadelphia lineup bring the number of unique sports and recreation groups to 20, an outstanding number of LGBT recreational groups for every preference; stonewallphilly.org.

and let me know I was always welcome to come back. They’ve always been very supportive through all my ups and downs.

PGN: What were some of the downs and when did you turn around?

SC: Oh, there were a lot of scary moments that made me question what the hell I was doing, being introduced to drugs and subsequent drug use and illegal behavior. I joined a house, which was kind of like a gang, and at first it was like, “We’re taking you in and giving you a place to stay, taking care of you,” but then you are asked to do things in return that weren’t in line with my morals and ethics. People who truly care about each other don’t ask people to do things that aren’t in their best interest. There were a few times when I was out there in situations with no one to have my back. I realized I needed to change something.

PGN: So speaking of that, let’s jump to present day and what you’re doing now. Are you still at Pierce?

SC: Well, before coming back to Philly I lived in Florida for a bit. I was introduced to erotic photography and modeling. I also traveled for several years as an adult-film entertainer. Then I did some fashion illustration and figure modeling for the Academy of Art University in California, which was an awesome experience, and then I started getting homesick. I flew back to Philadelphia and made it my home base but still did film work in California. I got into some trouble with substance abuse, but it ended up being a lifesaver because I had a neighbor who invited me to an AA meeting at William Way. I started going to the AA and CMA meetings and got clean. I realized I needed to turn things around and began volunteering at the center. I figured, what better way

to thank them for the services they provided for me? It was the spark for my community activism. Then in 2008, when we elected our first black president, I decided I needed to go back to school and do something more with my life. I got my GED, enrolled in Pierce Business College, changed my major umpteen times and then took a course taught by a psychologist named Abraham Maslow, which sparked my interest in human behavior, so I transferred to the Community College of Philadelphia. I took a philosophy course, Sex and Love, which I figured would be good after my experience in the adult-film industry. It completely revolutionized my life. I switched to liberal arts, I was an honors student, created the gay-straight alliance and lobbied for gender-neutral bathrooms. I got more responsibilities at the William Way Center and started doing workshops at the Trans-Health conference.

I really blossomed. My last five years have been all about my education and service to the community. You name it, I’ve probably volunteered there.

PGN: Who moved you during your volunteer work?

SC: Being at the front desk of the center, people come in who need something and it’s a great feeling to be able to provide it. I remember one woman who came in with two children. She had experienced domestic violence and needed help. She wasn’t a member of the LGBT community but she felt that the center could give her resources needed to keep her and her children safe. I knew I was giving real help to a person in need.

But for me, the staff has moved me the most by taking a chance on me and encouraging and supporting me, believing that everyone needs a second chance and trusting in me.

Because of that, I was able to be at that desk when that woman came in and be the first

face that she saw. I was in a position to help her and reduce her risk of harm.

PGN: What’s your organization, Making Our Lives Easier?

SC: I realized that there were gaps in services to some factions of our community.

We work to fill those gaps by providing resources and information. Knowledge is power and just a little of it can make an enormous difference. As president of the GSA, there were many people I met who were beginning to start journeys I’d already navigated. Whether it was transitioning or just discovering the LGBT community or school or just wanting to know how to get more involved, I’ve been there and can help. If an organization feels that they’re not reaching a certain demographic they want to reach out to, my company comes in to facilitate it. I’ve been in the trenches with the people they’re trying to reach. If there’s an employee trying to negotiate fairness or a grievance with an employer, I can help intervene. I’m in the process of developing a program to teach life skills and professional development, things to help people have a competitive edge in the job market, especially for those in the 25-35 age range that often fall between the cracks of youth and adult-service organizations.

PGN: I’m glad you’re stressing an educational component.

SC: Yes, I think that’s where a lot of our organizations fall short. You have so many young trans girls who haven’t developed the self-esteem they need or the professional and life skills needed to interact with the binary world. Some stale pizza and a token isn’t enough. I’m very passionate about that; we need to be doing more.

PGN: Well, a good start is MLK Day. Tell me about what’s in store.

SC: It’s going to be great. Anne Aagenes got us started last year pairing up with Global Citizen 365 and this year Scott Drake and I are the coordinators. Team Bayard, named after Bayard Rustin, is the planning committee and there’s a lot in store.

Organizations like Philly AIDS Thrift, the Delta Phi Upsilon fraternity, Black Gay Men’s Leadership Council, The Sister Girls Choir, Out at Comcast and others will all work on projects. We’re going to be writing letters to incarcerated transgender and trans-variant people with Hearts on a Wire, volunteers will prepare and serve meals at the John C. Anderson building and help seniors with various tasks, we’ll be painting the AIDS Library and doing beautification projects around the Gayborhood. Colours is doing HIV outreach and Equality PA is doing phone banking. Lots of things for people to do, so I hope people will sign up. n To get involved in the MLK Day of Service, visit globalcitizen365.org or email teambayardphilly@gmail.com.

LGBT films, filmmakers take the screens at I-House

By Gary M. Kramer PGN Contributor In the coming weeks, International House is featuring several important — and, in some cases, rare — films by LGBT filmmakers.

From avant-garde and experimental shorts from the 1960s to an under-seen documentary from the 1980s to new and recent character studies, there is something for everyone this winter.

On Jan. 23, there will be a presentation of three short films made between 1965-68 by the late, great low-budget queer filmmaker George Kuchar: “Corruption of the Damned,” “Eclipse of the Sun Virgin” and “Knocturne.”

All three shorts display Kuchar’s campy, homemade aesthetic, which was typical of the underground film scene of the time.

“Eclipse of the Sun Virgin,” in particular, is kitschy, full of bright, saturated colors and shot in a bewitching, mock-melodramatic style.

On Jan. 24, I-House presents the Philadelphia premiere of “Stray Dogs,” the latest work by masterful out filmmaker Tsai Ming-Liang. This minimalist, at times spellbinding, drama concerns a father (Lee KangSheng, the filmmaker’s muse and coconspirator) who wants to provide for his two kids.

He earns money by holding an advertising sign on the street, and Ming-Liang shoots several lengthy, excruciating shots of him standing in the rain. The director, who uses water as a symbol for love in his films, makes this motif emotionally palpable here.

However, “Stray Dogs” does require extraordinary patience from viewers — espe-

cially during a sequence with a cabbage.

On Jan. 31, two back-to-back programs hosted by Jerry Tartaglia will celebrate the work of late queer performance artist and filmmaker Jack Smith.

Because Smith’s work was not available for preview, Tartaglia spoke about the filmmaker in a recent phone interview.

“Smith creates a magic, and it’s a magic of transformation. If a filmgoer is attentive and patient, and remains present and attentive with his films, they experience some of that magic,” he said.

The program includes “Midnight at the Plaster Foundation,” which Tartaglia explained “is the only complete [film] of one of Smith’s live performances. I will play live musical accompaniment using his vinyl LP collection. His whole aesthetic was to create an environment that is open to catastrophe.”

The “Gems, Clips and Shorts” segment of the program features rarely seen archival materials. Tartaglia chose these because “each one is a complete cinematic, visual idea. One is included because Tally Brown is in it and there are so few images of Brown.”

While Tartaglia acknowledged that Smith and his work were not well-received by the gay or art communities back when they were made, they remain interesting and important curios.

“For people who are looking for a literal message or positive comments about queer identity, they will have to work at interpreting this work in the context of history.”

This winter, International House is also honoring African-American cinematographer Bradford Young, who shot the films

JACK SMITH “Selma” and “A Most Violent Year,” which are currently in theaters. The tribute provides another opportunity to see his remarkable work in lesbian writer/director Dee Rees’ excellent 2011 coming-out story, “Pariah,” on Feb. 4.

In this landmark drama, Alike (Adepero Oduye) is a teenage lesbian who is out to her best friend, Laura (Pernell Walker), a butch high-school dropout, but almost no one else. Alike’s religious mother, Audrey (Kim Wayans), suspects her daughter is a lesbian — “I’m tired of [her] tomboy,” she laments ,and hopes her daughters will “change.”

Although Alike is anxious to explore her

sexuality, she is also afraid. A friendship that develops into a romance helps Alike express her true self — cautiously at first, and then completely. “Pariah” effectively represents this maturation visually as well. The film’s early scenes are hazy and blurry but over the course of Alike’s coming of age, they become sharper as she finds clarity. Young justly won a prize for cinematography at Sundance.

On Feb. 5, late gay filmmaker Howard Brookner’s 1983 documentary, “Burroughs,” will screen, commemorating its subject’s 101st birthday. An affectionate portrait of the famous Beat-era writer, the film opens with Burroughs’ appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” one of the many fascinating scenes in the film of him reading his work.

Brookner chronicles Burroughs visiting his childhood home in St. Louis, and reminiscing with his brother and son, as well as his Beat colleagues, like Allen Ginsberg. The interviews and photographs are seamlessly woven together, as stories are recounted about drugs, about Burroughs assembling his literary “cut ups” and the infamous “William Tell” stunt in Mexico, in which he accidentally shot his wife. “Burroughs” is a fine portrait for both fans of the author and those unfamiliar with his life and work.

And for anyone interested in seeing the film adaptation of Burroughs’ provocative novel, “Naked Lunch,” International House will be screening David Cronenberg’s 1991 film Feb. 13 as part of Exhumed Films’ Cronenberg Triple Feature.

The ‘Strip-N-Dip’ Trip Did you ever fantasize about taking a trip and just being a spa harlo? I mean literally every day — maybe twice a day or more — having every part of your overworked, super-stressed body made to feel as beautiful as Cleopatra herself? Every once in a while, doesn’t everyone need a “strip-n-dip” trip?

You’ve heard of the spa vacations. Almost every tourism office around the world wants us to come to their destination for the ultimate spa experience. The lure? Facials, massages, body scrubs, pedicures, manicures, hot tubs and saunas — each and every treatment promoted with a unique twist or that extra-special experience, a particular rock for that rock massage or the perfect men’s moisturizers for the face or even a concoction.

For my ultimate “strip-n-dip trip” I went to the home of the “must-do” spa trip, Vegas, baby! Vegas has arguably the largest concentration of over-the-top luxury spas designed for tourists, so it was time to check out the Strip’s most luxurious hotels: the new Delano, the Bellagio and Vdara (three of MGM’s LGBT-friendly Vegas resorts).

First things first. Spa trips should begin at 80 minutes! Skip the skimpy 50-minute

massage and splurge for the longer treatments. Most spa services in Las Vegas could be considered expensive but in reality they are a better overall value with the longer treatment, and you can chill all day in a luxurious respite from the energy of the Strip.

(Perfect if you have a late-night flight.)

Here are my top-four recommendations for a trip where you’ll flip and tip: ESPA at Vdara Hotel & Spa Start with a men’s radiance facial in overthe-top City Center at ESPA at Vdara Hotel & Spa. Peel the city stress right off your face. ESPA and Vdara forged a partnership between the lavish skin-care brand and the luxuriously chic all-suite hotel. Vdara’s 18,000-square-foot, two-level haven features 11 treatment rooms with three distinct relaxation lounges, a co-ed meditation room, sauna, eucalyptus steam rooms, hot plunges and heated lounge chairs.

BATHHOUSE Spa at Delano What gay traveler could resist a visit to the BATHHOUSE? Try something out of your normal Swedish massage and give your

entire body a treatment. The Anti-Aging Body Treatment is a full-salt body scrub made with salts (a bit messy, but your skin will be flawless) and a Red Rock Canyoninspired Red Mud Wrap. The wrap is accompanied by a relaxing scalp and neck massage. It’s like a three-part treatment. Much of BATHHOUSE Spa’s new menu infuses the soothing elements of locally sourced ingredients, including cacti and wildflowers, as well as other playful nods to the desert.

Spa Bellagio One of the coolest treatments on the Strip is the Deep Coconut Surrender Massage at Bellagio. It is a therapeutic muscle-work massage but instead of oils, warm coconut milk combined with warm stones make up this signature massage. For those working in an office, you will love that the treatment focuses on the back, neck and shoulders.

Shara Spa at the Cosmopolitan Vegas is about nightlife and fun, so when you need a bit of detoxification, try the Sahara Desert Aroma Therapy Massage. It uses a signature desert rose with a desert

ESPA mist and essential oils to relieve any remaining tension you brought with you.

The Afterglow One cannot live by spa alone! You do need evening entertainment — especially after the spas close. At any MGM resort you will find an incredible Cirque du Soleil performance.

The newest is “Michael Jackson ONE” at Mandalay Bay. The show is a not-to-miss spectacular dedicated to the King of Pop. It has an impressive mix of live music, MJ dance, Cirque acrobatics and 3D film and hologram technology that are showstoppers. n
