Mummers meeting with LGBT community By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Mummers leadership has spent the last week meeting with LGBT leaders to discuss the nuances of the LGBT community and how to “punch up” in satire to avoid maligning a traditionally oppressed group. There are also plans in the “embryonic stage” for a review process, so Mummers leaders can see each brigade’s planned performance before the annual parade to celebrate the New Year. Brigades have not previously revealed their routines in advance. “The intention is to be self-policing,” said George Badey, Mummers spokesman, “but in an appropriate way by reaching out to the right people for feedback.” Mummers leaders have met with Nellie Fitzpatrick, director of the Philadelphia Office of LGBT Affairs; Rue Landau, executive director of the city Commission on

Equality PA to organize around issues, not regions

Human Relations; and Mark Segal, publisher of PGN. “We had a really good meeting. We are all going toward the same goal: Have a good parade and be more inclusive,” said Badey, who noted that Mummers leaders first met with each other on New Year’s Day to discuss the LGBT issues at the parade. Finnegan New Year Brigade performed a skit that included the Aerosmith song “Dude (Looks Like a Lady)” and signs that compared Caitlyn Jenner’s Wheaties cereal box to a box of Froot Loops. A member of the brigade can be heard shouting “F— the gays” in a video posted to YouTube. Around the same time as the Finnegan performance, other Mummers wearing patriotic colors and face paint allegedly assaulted a 28-yearold gay man, James Holtz, after calling him a faggot. “We don’t want to cause trouble like this,” Badey said, noting the Finnegan marcher shouting obscenities has PAGE 2

PAT doubles grantmaking program

In its second grantmaking cycle, Philly AIDS Thrift dispersed about $146K to 17 local organizations, who will use the funds for targeted HIV/AIDS and LGBT programs. By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com

By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Equality Pennsylvania, the state’s top LGBT advocacy organization, is hiring to fill two new positions: youth organizer and racial-justice organizer. “We’re shifting from regional organizers to constituency organizers,” said Levana Layendecker, spokeswoman for the organization. The change took effect at the beginning of the year. “In our work, we weren’t having as much engagement as we felt we should with people who were 18-25 or people of color,” she said, noting Equality Pennsylvania has specific organizers for faith and transgender issues. The four people previously employed as PAGE 15

In the second year of its grantmaking program, Philly AIDS Thrift more than doubled the amount of money it distributed and the number of organizations it funded. The thrift store distributed about $146,000 to 17 organizations this week, up from about $70,000 given to eight organizations last year. “Just from people buying $5 shirts and digging in the dollar bin and $3 DVDs and a $1 CD, by this time next month, Philly AIDS Thrift will have given away $1.5 million,” said Michael Byrne, newly elected president of the PAT board. Several-dozen people attended the Jan. 19 ceremony for grantees at Philly AIDS Thrift @ Giovanni’s Room in the Gayborhood.

“It’s stunning,” Byrne said. Philly AIDS Thrift also gives $20,000 a month to the AIDS Fund, which it distributes to local organizations through its grantmaking process. The grantees said they planned to use their funds for nutrition and social programs along with HIV testing and prevention efforts. Siloam and Congreso de Latinos Unidos are emphasizing farmers markets and community gardens, while AIDS Delaware will support its food pantry. The Mazzoni Center plans to fund its Ally Safe Schools program, and Camp Dreamcatcher in Kennett Square will provide scholarships for 15 kids who are infected or affected by HIV to attend a weeklong summer program. The Attic Youth Center will expand its HIV-prevention programs, while PAGE 15

News Briefing LGBT volunteers invited to serve meals and network Volunteers are invited to serve breakfast at Broad Street Ministry this weekend, then get to know one another over lunch at William Way LGBT Community Center. The event starts 10:45 a.m. Jan. 23 at Broad Street Ministry, 315 S. Broad St. People will serve meals until 1:45 p.m. through the church’s hospitality collaborative, which offers free meals to those in need. It’s organized by Repair the World, a Jewish nonprofit in West Philadelphia; the LGBTQ community at Broad Street Ministry; and Spectrum, a group for Jewish LGBT people in Philadelphia. After serving meals at the church, the volunteers will migrate to William Way, 1315 Spruce St., for lunch and discussion from 2-3:30 p.m. The lunch is open to all LGBT people regardless of whether they volunteered. Food scarcity in the LGBT community will be among the topics discussed. To register for the event, visit http://ow.ly/Xe1Tt.

Professional-readiness workshop for transgender people Equality Pennsylvania is hosting a free workshop for transgender people to share résumé-writing, interview and general professional tips. The event, called “Trans at Work,” takes place from 6-8 p.m. Jan. 26 at the Philadelphia Equality Pennsylvania office, 1211 Chestnut St., sixth floor. Advanced registration is not required. Kayden X Coleman, a local transgender activist who recently formed the mentorship group Loving My Trans* Body, will speak at the event. Discussions will include situations unique to the transgender community, such as disclosing gender identity at work. Attendees are also asked to bring any old professional clothes they are willing to donate. There

will be a professional clothing exchange at the event. Suggested items include slacks, dress skirts, button-up shirts and ties. — Paige Cooperstein

Volunteer for trans prisoners The first-annual Trans Prisoner Day of Action is set for Jan. 22, and Philly will do its part to mark the occasion. A-Space Anarchist Community Center, 4722 Baltimore Ave., will host a letter-writing session where volunteers can send a letter or artwork to a trans-identifying inmate. Hearts on a Wire will provide information about inmates, and Up Against the Law Legal Collective will stage a knowyour-rights training. Art supplies and postage will be provided. The event will take place from 4-8 p.m. To get involved, email cass. struggle@gmail.com and l.muthkimball@gmail.com. — Jen Colletta

Conshy’s legal-fees request remains pending A 2012 request by Conshohocken Borough Council for $18,000 from anti-LGBT activist James D. Schneller remains pending in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court. Schneller involved the borough in protracted litigation, due to his challenge of its 2011 LGBTinclusive antibias ordinance. Schneller’s efforts to nullify the ordinance were unsuccessful. Schneller, of Norristown, claims the ordinance violates his protected religious freedoms. In September 2012, the borough filed suit against Schneller, seeking $18,000 in reimbursement for its legal fees incurred while defending the ordinance. The borough’s request for $18,000 from Schneller remains pending before Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Thomas C. Branca. In an email, Schneller referred to the borough’s lawsuit as a “SLAPP,” which stands for a “strategic lawsuit against public participation.” Conshohocken borough solicitor Michael J. Savona said the borough isn’t actively pursuing the matter. “Neither party has made any

steps to move the matter forward,” Savona told PGN. “The borough has been preoccupied with a number of other more pressing issues, including the renovation of the new municipal building and relocating there.” Savona added: “Mr. Schneller can call [our lawsuit] what he likes. The borough sued him only to recover their costs, which were prompted by his frivolous litigation.”

Officer in homophobic encounter disciplined Philadelphia Police Officer Matthew Zagursky, who uttered anti-LGBT slurs during a traffic stop last year, has been disciplined for his behavior, a police spokesperson confirmed this week. But Officer Tanya Little said details of Zagurksy’s discipline won’t be released to the public “at this time.” A hidden camera caught Zagursky uttering “faggot” and other anti-LGBT slurs during a routine traffic stop. Zagursky also urged the motorist to purchase tickets to a police charity in order to avoid having his car towed. After a public outcry, Zagursky was placed on desk duty. In December, after an Internal Affairs Division investigation, Zagursky was cleared for active street-patrol duties in Northeast Philadelphia. The IAD report of the incident is inaccessible to the public. Zagursky’s annual salary is $64,495, according to city records.

Assault victim pursues damages from Voyeur Attorneys for Nicholas D. Forte last week reiterated their request for punitive damages from Voyeur Nightclub. On Dec. 10, 2013, Forte allegedly was assaulted outside Voyeur by Miguel Maldonado, a Voyeur bouncer, and Matthew Morris, a Voyeur patron. Forte’s injuries include a broken eye socket, a broken nose, a broken rib and multiple facial fractures. Maldonado and Morris were convicted of multiple offenses stemming from the incident and remain incarcerated in state prisons. Forte alleges that Morris and/or Maldonado were served alcoholic

beverages at Voyeur while visibly intoxicated, prior to assaulting Forte. He’s seeking compensatory and punitive damages from Voyeur in excess of $50,000. But attorneys for Voyeur say Forte hasn’t made a case for recklessness on the part of Voyeur, thus his request for punitive damages should be dismissed. In a Jan. 12 filing, attorneys for Forte said there’s an adequate basis for Forte to seek punitive damages from Voyeur. “The allegations in [Forte’s] complaint, when read as a whole, could arguably lead a jury to conclude that reckless behavior ensued,” the filing states. The filing also alleges Voyeur failed to warn patrons of dangerous conditions outside the nightclub, located at 1221 St. James St. The matter remains pending before Common Pleas Judge John M. Younge. As of presstime, Younge hadn’t ruled on Voyeur’s request for partial dismissal of Forte’s complaint.

Trial date set in gay-bashing civil case A 2017 trial date has been set in the civil case of Francis McGlinn, who reportedly was present during a September 2014 assault of two gay men in Center City. McGlinn wasn’t charged with any criminal wrongdoing stemming from the incident. But shortly after the incident, McGlinn lost his position as an assistant basketball coach at Archbishop Wood High School. Last year, McGlinn filed notice in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, stating that he intends to sue Archbishop Charles J. Chaput and Archdiocese spokesperson Kenneth A. Garvin for allegedly slandering him. McGlinn’s actual lawsuit detailing his allegations hasn’t been filed. A trial is tentatively set for 10 a.m. Oct. 2, 2017, in Courtroom 483 of City Hall, with Common Pleas Judge Younge presiding. In October, Phillip R. Williams and Kevin J. Harrigan pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges stemming from the incident and received probation. In December, a Philadelphia jury convicted Kathryn G. Knott of simple assault and related offenses. She awaits sentencing in February. n — Timothy Cwiek

been banned from the Mummers. Philadelphia police told PGN that no police report was filed for the alleged gay bashing. Badey said the Finnegan brigade did not intend to mock Jenner because she is transgender. “There should not be hurtful comments against a group that has traditionally not been treated well,” Badey said. “The attitude was they were spoofing Caitlyn Jenner and the Kardashian clan and all that. There was not an attempt to demean. I truly believe nobody in the brigade considered or thought about it because it wasn’t something they were attuned with.” Fitzpatrick said she feels optimistic about the future between Philadelphia and the Mummers. “People have come forward to say, ‘Look, I didn’t know this was offensive, but I do respect that it hurt people,’” she said. “My takeaway is, for being two weeks into the new year, there has been a tremendous amount of work done.” Fitzpatrick noted it’s important to differentiate between the Mummers as a whole, a group of thousands of people, and the leadership of the Mummers, who have been reaching out to the LGBT community. “To make the blanket statement that all Mummers are willing to learn is dangerous,” Fitzpatrick said. “It’s important to understand the true gravity of the work it’s going to take. What we’ve seen in the last two weeks is that the leadership of the Mummers — who’ve been very active for a very long time in this grand, expansive thing known as the Mummers — are willing to come to the table.” The presidents of the five traditional Mummers divisions issued a press release the night of the parade noting they would like to partner with the LGBT community on an LGBT fundraiser or equality-awareness event. “I cannot give definite plans of an exact community event or exact new rules and policies,” Fitzpatrick said. “Where we are right now is moving in a positive direction. It’s important to remember this is developing. I think there will be a lot of things happening throughout the year.” Fitzpatrick said the Mummers leaders might need help structuring guidelines for brigades to put on performances that create positive experiences for everyone who attends. “We want the city to know we are full partners in collaborating,” Badey said. n

PGN, local company to stage Valentine’s video contest By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com Valentine’s Day is about to get a little sweeter for one local couple. PGN is teaming up with local production company PersonalCast Studios to offer a free, professionally edited “Love Story,” showcasing personal interviews with the couple about their relationship. The Love Story is valued at $599. Interested couples should see entry information at the bottom of this story. PersonalCast is the recent brainchild of husband-and-wife team Jan Dickler and Susan Cohen-Dickler, whose Banyan Productions produced such series as “Trading Spaces,” “Ambush Makeover” and “A Wedding Story.” The couple, who lives in the Philly suburbs, said they found the reality-TV genre becoming increasingly contrived, prompting them to launch PersonalCast, which focuses on helping everyday people tell their authentic stories. “We saw the content of reality TV getting, as Jan calls it, ‘loud’; the stories are more manipulated. We enjoy authentic reality and we knew those stories are still out there,” Cohen-Dickler said. “Technology has come to the point

where everyone has it in their hands,” Dickler added. “We started years ago with lots of heavy equipment, but now nearly everybody has a smart phone with a camera. So we thought using that idea

SUSAN COHEN-DICKLER AND JAN DICKLER

is the next step in our journey of trying to focus on authentic reality.” PersonalCast produces its interview-based videos using either Skype or FaceTime — an approach that opens the company up to an international client base and allows the subjects to be filmed where they feel most comfortable. “When you’re on Skype or FaceTime

with an interviewer, it’s just moments until the nervousness falls away and it’s like you’re just having a conversation with a friend,” Cohen-Dickler said. “People are surprised at how comfortable they become.” Among its products is the Love Story, which fuses separate interviews with two people in a couple, who don’t see what their partners said until they get the finished product. The videos are produced in two half-hour sessions and then professionally edited, with photos and music suited to the couple’s tastes included. “We call it PersonalCast because we’re not producing stories for a huge audience; it’s just for these people and their family and friends, people they want to share their story with,” Cohen-Dickler said. “We give them the TV-production value but it’s the truth of their own stories. It’s like their own TV episode to a degree but it’s very personal, in their own media and it’s a lived experience for them.” PersonalCast has already finished a Love Story for a gay couple in Florida (http://ow.ly/XeZFX) and is in production on a story for a lesbian couple. The company also offers options like the Life Story, a chronicle of one per-

son’s life, the Short Story about a smaller moment and the True Story to allow loved ones to pay tribute to someone. Dickler said that, while reactions to the finished products have been overwhelmingly positive, the subjects are often just as grateful for the interview process itself. “The interview is almost like getting a massage because they’re just getting so much out there by having this comfortable conversation with a professional interviewer,” he said. “And it’s great for us because we know we’re capturing something that’s going to resonate down the road. If you look at your relationship and take a snapshot of it and then are able to look back and witness that in 10 or 20 years, that’s an amazing thing.” n PersonalCast will offer one free Love Story video to a reader of PGN and his or her partner. To enter, one person in the couple should answer the question, “At what moment did you know your partner was THE one for you?” Sappy, serious or funny — just tell us in fewer than 100 words why your love story deserves to be captured on this keepsake video. Email your statement to editor@epgn.com by midnight Feb. 7, and we’ll announce the winner just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Judge approves transparency in church sex-abuse case By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Attorneys for the family of a young man who died from a drug overdose — the result of years of substance addiction after a Catholic priest allegedly raped him — are praising a recent court order for transparency in the case. “It’s a new day in Philadelphia,” said Marci A. Hamilton, an attorney for the family of Sean P. McIlmail. McIlmail allegedly was molested by the Rev. Robert L. Brennan between 1998-2001, when McIlmail was a student at Resurrection of Our Lord Catholic School in Rhawnhurst. McIlmail died in 2013 at the age of 26 due to a drug overdose. The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office had previously charged Brennan with rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and related offenses, but dropped the charges shortly after McIlmail’s death. On Jan. 12, Common Pleas Judge Mark I. Bernstein denied

a request by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for a broad protective order in a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by McIlmail’s mother, Deborah. She attributes her son’s drug addiction to Brennan’s alleged molestation, and she’s seeking more than $50,000 in damages. In addition to the archdiocese, named defendants include Brennan and Msgr. William J. Lynn, who allegedly facilitated Brennan’s abuse of young boys. Attorneys for the archdiocese sought a wide-ranging protective order in the case, ostensibly to preclude improper pre-trial publicity. But attorneys for the McIlmail family argued the archdiocese has a pattern of trying to cover up sex abuse within its ranks. “The Archdiocese has taken a hardball-tactics approach to the few cases in statute, and lobbied incessantly to make sure no other victim would be able to sue,” Hamilton told PGN. “The archdiocese demands secrecy and confidentiality because the public would be shocked by its

treatment of victims in litigation. [Secrecy] is especially misplaced in this case, where the victim was a young man who passed away due to the stress of prosecuting Brennan — who the archdiocese knew was dangerous to children for 20 years before he sexually assaulted Sean.” Attorneys for the archdiocese had no comment for this story. Brennan, 77, has been stripped of his priestly duties and lives in Perryville, Md. Lynn, 65, is serving a three- to six-year prison term for child endangerment. In December, the state Superior Court ordered a new trial for Lynn. But the D.A.’s Office is appealing that ruling, and Lynn remains behind bars. In his one-page order, Bernstein said limited personal information such as Social-Security numbers can be redacted from materials filed with the court in the McIlmail case. “Judge Bernstein’s order is good for survivors and good for public safety,” Hamilton continued. “The PAGE 14

Surrogacy case appealed to PA top court By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com Actress and former talk-show personality Sherri Shepherd is asking Pennsylvania’s top court to overturn a lower-court ruling that validated gestational-surrogacy contracts, which was a boon for many same-sex parents. Shepherd, who co-hosted “The View” from 2007-14, has been locked in a legal dispute with ex-husband Lamar Sally over parenting rights of their son, born through a surrogate. After experiencing fertility problems, Shepherd and Sally entered into a gestational-surrogacy contract with a Pennsylvania carrier while they were still a couple. They split up during the pregnancy, and Shepherd has since sought to remove herself as the child’s mother from legal documents. She argued that the surrogate instead should be considered the boy’s mother. In November, the Pennsylvania Superior Court upheld a lower-court ruling that found that surrogacy agreements such as the one Shepherd and Sally entered into are enforce-

able; such documents typically address who the intended parents are, the surrogate’s payment and health-insurance costs and any contingency plans if issues arise. It was the first appellate decision in Pennsylvania to validate gestational-surrogacy contracts, which is especially important as the state lacks any statutes governing assisted-reproductive rights. “The only law we really have that gives lawyers guidance on this issue is case law,” Tiffany Palmer, partner at Jerner & Palmer, P.C., who represented Sally, told PGN at the time. “And up until this point, there was very little case law at all on the issue of surrogacy.” The appellate-court ruling validated a May finding by Montgomery County Orphans’ Court Judge Stanley Ott, who ruled that the contract Shepherd signed is enforceable and that she, not the surrogate, is the child’s mother. At that time, Shepherd became responsible for child-support payments. Shepherd now has to wait for the state Supreme Court to decide if it will hear the case. n

Trans veteran Donna Mae Stemmer buried with male name By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com The only person in the world who would have a pair of star-spangled, beaded bloomers was Donna Mae Stemmer, said Michael Byrne of his friend, the longtime City of Brotherly Love Softball League player and cheerleader who died of a heart attack in June. Stemmer was 82. Byrne inherited those bloomers while a number of Stemmer’s other fashions went to Philly AIDS Thrift. “She was a patriot,” Byrne said. “She was very proud to have defended her country.” Stemmer, a Korean War veteran, served in the U.S. Army for over 30 years. She reached the rank of lieutenant colonel and received 25 decorations, including the Distinguished Service Award and Commemorative Medal in 2008. Stemmer lies buried in Brigadier General William C. Doyle Memorial Cemetery for veterans in Wrightstown, N.J. But the name on her headstone reads “Donald R. Stemmer.” She had not legally changed her name. “That makes me very sad,” Byrne said. “I just think it’s a sin that her wishes were not able to be met.”

Last wishes In 2008, Stemmer lobbied Arlington National Cemetery to allow her headstone to reflect her female name and affiliation with the LGBT softball league. Arlington denied her request, she said. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the military policy that prevented gay people from serving openly, also prohibited LGBT references on military headstones, Phyllis B. White, an Arlington spokeswoman, told PGN at the time. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was repealed in 2010. The legal service name on the discharge document is what gives someone eligibility to be buried in Arlington, Steve Smith, spokesman for the cemetery, told PGN in December. He added that Arlington follows federal Department of Defense policy regarding veteran burials. The National Cemetery

Administration, which oversees cemeteries through the federal Department of Veterans Affairs, excluding Arlington, also has a policy to use the veteran’s legal name at the time of death on the headstone, said Jessica Schiefer, spokeswoman for the administration. She said LGBT references could be allowed in the space for “terms of endearment” on the marker. “We honor the veteran and/or the family’s wishes as to what their terms of endearment are,” Schiefer said. New Jersey burial Stemmer’s headstone at the New Jersey cemetery was approved by her next-of-kin, said Kryn P. Westhoven, spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, which manages the Doyle cemetery. “When the family requested a grave marker, they put down the name as Donald R. Stemmer,” Westhoven said. “Nothing was indicated for a name change to Donna. The funeral home also had the name as Donald.” Westhoven said the next-ofkin signature is illegible on cemetery records, but it was witnessed through proper channels at the time. He said the cemeteries under the purview of New Jersey Military and Veterans Affairs follow the rules from the federal VA. “As of right now, they have not given us guidance” in reference to transgender burials, he said. “They’re the ones that give the guidance, not only to the state cemeteries, like ours, which receives federal funding for burials, but they also control the federal cemeteries.” Eric Powell, acting director of the memorial programs service with the federal VA, said his sense is that there is no prohibition of burials for transgender veterans. “A veteran’s a veteran,” he said. “We will inter them in the cemetery of their choice.” Powell explained the procedure: When a veteran passes away, the family contacts the national scheduling office in St. Louis, Mo. That office goes through the eligibility check-

list by evaluating the veteran’s length of service, manner of discharge and any military honors. The family selects the cemetery, and practical arrangements for the burial can take place. Saving Stemmer’s fashions

This Fab Could for only

Many of Stemmer’s friends when did not know she was buried a minimu with a male name. Tom Brennan, founder of Philly AIDS Thrift, said he was surprised to hear about the headstone. He said Stemmer’s brother helped him coordinate the preservation of her glamorous fashion collection. There were hundreds of earrings, necklaces and bracelets, as Byrne recalled, as well as a mass of crinoline. Soon after Stemmer died, Brennan said, “One of her friends called and said, ‘Listen, I’m afraid this stuff is going to get thrown out.’” Brennan was put in touch with Stemmer’s brother by phone. He doesn’t remember the brother’s name, but said he lived out of state. “When he knew what we wanted to do, he was really helpful,” Brennan said. “He was hugely accommodating. He made keys to the house available. We had the run of the house for three days.” Stemmer lived in Pennsauken, N.J. Brennan remembered the steaming hot temperatures inside her house in mid-July, just a couple weeks after Stemmer was buried. Proper burials Transgender veterans do have a pathway to receive burials that recognize their gender identity, said Matt Thorn, interim executive director of OutServe-SLDN, a Washington-based advocacy organization for LGBT service members. “You can’t just tell them what you want,” Thorn said. “They have to make sure things line up from an administrative perspective.” He said the first thing a transgender veteran should request to change is the DD214 form, which is a one-page synopsis of the person’s time in service. The veteran should also submit

FIGHT debuts dental services By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Philadelphia FIGHT, an AIDSservice organization that recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, has another reason for excitement: A dental-services program launched this month. “It seemed to me they had every other kind of service for their clients,” said dentist Kari Hexem, who worked with FIGHT to build the dental program from scratch. “I do work very closely with the primary health-care providers at

FIGHT. Being able to work with the rest of the medical team is a nice benefit.” She said if she needs background information on her patients’ health to better serve their dental needs, it can be easily facilitated. The dental office opened Jan. 12 at 1233 Locust St. Services include oral health exams, digital X-rays, dental cleanings, gum treatments, fillings and dentures. Hexem said she can also provide referrals for root canals, crown and bridge work and oral surgery. The clinic has an affiliation with

the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, from which Hexem, 33, graduated last year. Hexem and her assistant are the only full-time staffers. They’re hoping to hire a second dentist by the summer. FIGHT dental services will also have Penn dental students on rotation at the clinic under faculty supervision. The clinic has seen 12 patients so far and referred about six for oral surgery elsewhere. Patients do not have to use FIGHT physicians as their primary medical providers. They will also be seen regardless

of HIV status or health insurance. There is a sliding scale for payment. Hexem had a background in public health before starting dental school. She said she hopes to create a “dental home” for people at FIGHT. “I hope patients don’t come to me only when they’re in pain, and I never see them again,” she said. “What I most enjoy as a clinician is really being a partner in developing a plan with patients so they can reach a point of stability with their

oral health.” Hexem knew she wanted to make a long-term investment in FIGHT after she first met Jane Shull, executive director of FIGHT. Between Hexem’s first and second year at dental school, she participated in a Penn community-health internship program called “Bridging the Gaps.” “I loved that [FIGHT] had an activist orientation in addition to being clinically excellent,” Hexem said. n

documentation of a legal name change. Each branch of the military has a review panel. It can take between six and 18 months to effect the record changes. “It’s not because of it being an LGBT issue,” Thorn said. “It’s more because they’re processing thousands of requests, anything you ever wanted changed on your formal paperwork.” But now that every branch of the service has dealt with LGBTspecific changes, Thorn said a precedent has been established for how to handle them efficiently. Thorn said OutServe worked with a transgender veteran who completed her paperwork

changes last year, so she can receive a burial in Arlington with her appropriate name. Thorn said it would be “very difficult” to make changes to a veteran’s burial posthumously. “You’d have to cite extraordinary circumstances,” he said. Overall, Thorn feels optimistic about the treatment of transgender service members. He noted a standalone transgender clinic opened last month at a VA clinic in Tucson, Ariz., and said the VA and Defense have “really been trying to make strides in transgender veteran care.” “We’re on the verge of open transgender service,” Thorn said. n

Creep of the Week

D’Anne Witkowski

Editorial

Demanding diversity Hollywood’s biggest night is under fire — and it’s long overdue. A photo collage of the 20 actors who received Academy Award nominations this month illustrates the issue well: All 20 are white. This was the second consecutive year where actors of color were completely shut out of the acting categories of the country’s most-respected entertainment-awards show. The development caused some big-name celebrities, like Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith, to back out of the show. Apart from pressing for recognition from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the backlash is generating needed conversation about the value of industry diversity year-round. As several actors have noted, Hollywood’s diversity problem is multifaceted. In terms of the Oscars and other awards shows, it appears that the gatekeepers, the industry insiders who identify nominees, are just as homogeneous as this year’s Academy Award picks. While it may sound like a cliché, having a “seat at the table” is an important step toward fair and accurate representation. It’s something that we in the LGBT community have learned: When members of our community are granted access to decision-making positions — boards, commissions or even elected office — our issues and interests are better-represented. Apart from ensuring representation at leadership levels, opportunities need to also be expanded for minority actors. So many of today’s leading films feature allwhite casts. Mixed-race casts and films featuring leading roles for people of color are needed; the talent is absolutely there, the opportunities just need to be opened up. In order for diversity and inclusion efforts to be successful, however, the commitment needs to be authentic — and not fueled by “tokenism.” We’ve seen countless occasions of LGBT characters being thrown into television shows or movies to simply have an LGBT character. Including a minority for the sake of saying you’ve included a minority isn’t enough. Diversity is about much more than minorities just existing in circles that have been traditionally dominated by the majority; it’s about people of all representations being well-rounded and active participants in that circle. We in the LGBT community know the systemic impact of a lack of leadership roles and recognition. But we also know how empowering and necessary a true commitment to diversity can be. n

walking a bright pink poodle — with a television screen embedded in it — as the other pretended to read a newspaper. They too wore skirted outfits: one in black and the other in red. I would later learn these were Klaus Nomi, a countertenor known for avantgarde musical performances, and Joey Arias, a cabaret singer and drag artist. I had by this point already gained a rudimentary idea of what being transgender was, though my knowledge was — to say the least — very limited, and focused largely on transsexuality. The notion that someone could wear an outfit like that, while still appearing male — and be celebrated — was mind-blowing. It was simply nothing I’d ever heard of back in ’79. Over the ensuing years, of course, my knowledge of all things trans grew by

leaps and bounds, as did my knowledge of Bowie. I went through a very heavy Ziggy Stardust period, decades after Bowie had hung up the platform books and pancake makeup, spending my idle hours poring over his lyrics and styles. At the time, I was hip-deep in my own gender transition, and took a lot of strength from listening to, among other things, Bowie’s many albums. “Life on Mars” gave me life, while “Rebel Rebel” gave me the power to make it out the other side. That coincided with when I first started to write for the Bay Area Reporter in 2000, and, needing a name for my column, I reached back to that moment in 1979, as Bowie sang the two-word chorus for “TVC-15:” “Transition/Transmission.” So “Transmissions” PAGE 15

My David Bowie Something magical happened in my life late in the evening of Dec. 14, 1979. For years by then, I was used to watching “Saturday Night Live” quietly into the wee hours in my parents’ front room. It was a ritual of mine from the first season and well into the show’s much leaner episodes of the 1980s. The guest this particular night was Martin Sheen, and while I can recall a couple of the comedy skits that night, they did not even remotely have the lasting impact that the musical guest would. Performing that night was David Bowie, who performed three tracks. Most point to his performance of “The Man Who Sold the World” as the highlight of the night, or perhaps his puppet-like performance of the then-current single “Boys Keep Swinging” as it. It was his first

track, however, that would forever change the mind of this kid living in the suburbs. I had heard of, and heard the music of, Bowie before that night. You could not avoid tracks like “Space Oddity” on the rock radio stations of the time. I enjoyed the song well enough, but it was just another tune blaring out of my yellow Panasonic Panapet. Bowie’s first performance that night was the song “TVC-15,” a sci-fi story about a man whose wife ended up trapped inside a holographic television set. At the time, though, I had no idea of the story behind the song; all I had was the spectacle unfolding on my television screen. Front and center was Bowie, who hit the microphone wearing a bluish-grey men’s-style top and matching A-line skirt, while one backup singer pantomimed

Instead, we tend to do what at a place where you don’t know anyone

On Being Well

and you’re not concerned about what they think, so you can relax. The key is to replace the negative or unwanted behavior with something else. Step two: Set your goals Another key area when it comes to behavior change is setting goals — and making sure they are reasonable, achievable and concrete. For me, it would be unreasonable to say, “I’m never going to eat chocolate again for the rest of my life.” I know that’s not going to happen. Similarly, setting a goal to lose 50 pounds in a month isn’t achievable (outside of gastric bypass surgery). Perhaps your overarching goal is something broad, like “I want to be healthier.” That sounds great, but what does it mean? Instead you could say, I want to sleep an extra hour a day, so I’ll go to bed an hour earlier. Or, I’m going to drink two more glasses of water each day, or walk a few hundred more steps every day — whatever suits your needs and your life. By breaking down a broader goal into tasks that are reasonable and achievable, you have items you can actually check off. I can’t necessarily lose five pounds every week, but I can go for a walk around the block, check that off and therefore feel closer to my “big picture” goal. Having a sense of progress is extremely helpful in sticking to your resolution, whatever it is. Step three: Be accountable Accountability is another important factor in behavior change. It doesn’t have to be negative accountability, like finding a personal trainer who’s going to yell at you. It could be someone posting on social media about their goals and activities or having a partner or friend who is highly supportive. Hearing someone else say,

“Wow, you look great,” or “We went out for two hours and you only had one beer!” can provide truly powerful reinforcement. The great thing about our recovery support groups is that people get to know each other. So when someone doesn’t show up for a month, the others can say, “Have you seen so-and-so? Where are they? We should give them a call.” There’s a built-in accountability to someone else, which is quite powerful. Another key concept we talk about in individual therapy as well as the recovery group is setting yourself up to succeed. This means changing whatever you are able to change in your environment to make things easier for you. So if you’re someone who uses drugs and wants to stop, it might be, Never go back to that neighborhood, if you can avoid it. Or, Don’t call those friends you know will get you in trouble. If a certain junk food is your weakness, you may need to keep it out of the house. One of the significant ways Mazzoni Center’s recovery groups differ from 12-step programs is that we don’t believe a relapse destroys progress you’ve already made. The same applies to a diet, or another resolution. Say you’ve gone 35 days clean, and then you use one day. In our view, you have 35 days clean — and now you’re back to your recovery. I believe behavior change is a journey, and a highly individual one. That’s why it’s so important to define your own resolutions. No one else can hand you a goal, or follow through for you. But finding support — from friends, family, partners or a recovery support group — can keep you moving in the right direction. n Lisa Richman, LCSW, is a therapist at Mazzoni Center.

40 years ago in PGN National survey finds pro-gay police departments Adapted from reporting by M. David Stein Five police departments across the country responded in a PGN survey that gay people should be evaluated as potential officers on the same basis as anyone else. PGN sent the survey to 25 city departments and 14 responded. The cities that took a liberal stance to allowing gay people to become police officers included Berkley, Palo Alto and Sunnyvale in California; Madison, Wisc.; and East Lansing, Mich. “We need no ordinance to force us to take this position,” said Wesley Pomeroy, Berkeley police chief. “It’s clearly within the subject of constitutional guarantees not to discriminate against gays. Beyond that, common decency demands that they be treated no differently than heterosexuals.” Stephen Naert, East Lansing police chief, quoted his city’s anti-discrimination ordinance, which explicitly protects homosexuals, in his survey response. Only one respondent was blatantly negative. Richard Rowan, police chief in St. Paul, Minn., said when his department’s testing procedures identify people with “abnormal tendencies,” “they are encouraged to seek employment elsewhere.”

it is to this day, thanks again to that one moment where Bowie opened my eyes to a world I never imagined existed. That he was in a blouse and skirt for his “SNL” performance was a bit of a lark, concocted after Arias and Nomi found their matching dresses on a preshow shopping spree. It wasn’t anywhere near the first time that Bowie would challenge gender, having started with cross-gender presentation on the covers for “Hunky Dory” and “The Man Who Sold The World.” He did these better for the arrival of one of his best-known personas, that of Ziggy Stardust. With a shock of bright red hair and a face full of makeup, his platform boot- and jumpsuit-wearing androgynous space alien trod into the heart of a generation of fans who felt out of place. He embodied the outsider — and doubly so for anyone who felt alienated due to their gender or sexuality. This continued into his Aladdin Sane character, with the now-iconic lightningbolt-across-the-eye makeup. Even to the

Rowan added he didn’t have information about the number of gay officers in his department. “I would hope that if we could develop that information, it would produce a zero result,” he said, noting St. Paul’s gayrights ordinance was passed against his department’s recommendation. Gay Media Project starts television series Adapted from reporting by PGN staff The Philadelphia-based Gay Media Project aired a half-hour television broadcast Dec. 13, 1975, that focused on society’s fears regarding lesbians and gay men. The show, called “Up Front,” aired on WPVI-TV, an ABC affiliate. As the first in a planned series, it was geared primarily toward a non-gay audience. It addressed the definition of homophobia, its psychological and social causes and what can be done to overcome it. Well-known gay activist Barbara Gittings and David Waldron from the Gay Media Project hosted. The show’s guests included Delores Klaich, author of “Woman Plus Woman,” and Dr. Charles Silverstein, a psychologist and founder of the Institute for Human Identity in New York City. n — compiled by Paige Cooperstein

end, Bowie seemed to exist in a place beyond traditional gender roles, or, more succinctly, in an identity that existed by his own rules. Bowie is gone now, taken from this planet on Jan. 10. He’s yet another victim of cancer, gone too soon from this place. In the wake of his passing, many have commented on how everyone has their “own” Bowie, much like how fans of the television series “Doctor Who” have a preferred actor for the eponymous lead character. I wish I could claim it was the androgynous Ziggy Stardust that started me off as a fan, with his golden moon disk and flaming red hair, as well as his fluid sexual and gender identities. For me, though, it will always be the Bowie who invaded my television set that December long ago. Godspeed, Starman. n Gwen Smith wishes she could have given him a hug.

regional organizers have either taken on new roles with the Harrisburg-based organization or left for outside opportunities, like Maureen Gray, who formerly led organizing efforts in the Lehigh Valley and Poconos. As part of a strategic-planning process undertaken last year by the board, Layendecker said, Equality Pennsylvania interviewed key LGBT leaders across the state and hosted a public online survey to get a sense of how state residents were reacting to their work. “The regional organizers did amazing work,” Layendecker said. “What our constituent-based organizers were able to do was explore other issue areas and take deep dives into health care specifically or mobi-

Layendecker said volunteers who were recruited through specific channels, like church groups, will continue working with the same point person for the organization. People involved in general advocacy efforts may meet new organizers and work with one or several. “We’re still committed to gaining discrimination protections for all LGBT people in Pennsylvania,” Layendecker said. “We believe this model will help us do that.

Haters Gonna Hate Mayor faces Right-wing wrath after cop shooting

he Right-wing blogosphere blew up on Mayor Kenney, and it was only his first week in office. Something tells us that the next four years are going to be like watching demolition derby: you know something bad is going to happen, but you just have to watch. The American Thinker led with this headline: “Philadelphia’s Mayor Jim Kenney declares the sky is green” then follows with this: “Okay, not quite. But Philadelphia’s new mayor, Jim Kenney, might as well have told yesterday’s press conference on yesterday’s attempted assassination of Officer Jesse Hartnett that the sky is green when he claimed that Islam had nothing to do with the assassination attempt. Americans believe that politicians often lie, but it is very rare for one to blatantly lie following presentation of the truth by a senior law enforcement official, only to be followed by yet another law enforcement official who reiterates the truth that contradicts the politician’s lie.”

Jim Kenney is really at his best when someone tries to push him around. Then, redstate.com reported on presidential contender Marco Rubio’s response: “The police chief stands up, says, ‘This was the guy. We arrested him. And he said he did it in the name of ISIS.’ And then, [Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney] gets up and says, ‘This has nothing to do with Islam and radical Islam.’

‘This is ridiculous. This is absurd,’ Rubio added. ‘This is a radical person, living in United States, who became radicalized. This is the new face of the war on terror, and it is dangerous and we need to confront it and defeat it. I will not stop until we do.’” But the best commentary was reserved for Fox News Channel’s “Justice” host, Judge Jennine Pirro, whose head seemed near exploding: “Hey, Mayor Kenney, in case you forgot, Philadelphia is the place where the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Constitution was written. Its location is a symbol of freedom where Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell sit. Last I checked, the first Amendment reigns supreme. Who are you to tell me what the shooter’s motivations are?” “I don’t need you tell me how to think because you want to suck up to the Commander in Chief. How about you drop your liberal, ideological nonsense and stop apologizing and start focusing on those who are out to kill those in your department. I don’t know if you need to see an eye doctor, but the man is wearing Muslim garb, he has sworn allegiance to ISIS, he told the cops he did it for Allah and ISIS. His own mother says he’s a devout Muslim. Are you stupid?” He is anything but stupid, Ms. Pirro. In fact, Kenney’s statement concerning the shooting and Islam is nothing we haven’t heard from President Obama: “In no way shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you’ve seen on the screen. That is abhorrent. It’s just terrible and it does

LCP hopes our new mayor sees the positive aspects of social media platforms.

not represent this religion [Islam] in any way shape or form or any of its teachings,” he added. “This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers. It has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith.” As you will see, Jim Kenney is really at his best when someone tries to push him around. In an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer reviewing his first week in office, Kenney lashed back: “My comments, of course, set off the Trumpers, the Trumpettes, whoever they are, into this lathered-up frenzy of anger and nastiness and meanness. My recommendation to other public officials is: don’t read Twitter. It is just bad, vicious and cruel.” True, Twitter has never been kind to you, from the time you had to deal with it through a paid consultant, to the spat between you and former Nutter administration deputy Denise Peterkin-Bell over the city’s failed Olympics bid. Also true, Twitter can be vicious and cruel. But Mr. Mayor you can shine in the Twitterverse. Twitter rewards the clever and acerbic. It is how the next generation consumes news. Mr. Mayor. your city needs you to keep tweeting away. JAN. 17-24, 2016

Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine. The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale. All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale.

Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions. Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales conducted by him. Very truly yours, JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff City and County of Philadelphia

Philly DJ stars in new reality series By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Out radio personality and activist Casey Reed is making the jump from Philly’s airwaves to the small screen when she stars in the new reality-based comedy “Saturday Morning Fever,” premiering Jan. 27 on Fuse. The reality series follows the taping and behind-the-scenes action surrounding the long-running local dance show “Dancin’ On Air,” a precursor to more popular national shows like “Dance Party USA.” Reed is thrown into the mix as the host of “Dancin’ On Air.” “Saturday Morning Fever” shows how she motors through her job surrounded by a staff and show regulars who think appearing on the show is their ticket to bigger and better things. “I wouldn’t say I was exactly ‘cast,’” Reed said about landing the role. “Originally, ‘Dancin’ on Air’ reached out to the radio station where I was working at the time when they were doing their revival. They were looking for local radio personalities to host the show and my employer at the time was like, ‘You’re going to do the show whether you like it or not.’ So I had no idea what I was getting into. So it was all-encompassing and natural that when ‘Saturday Morning Fever’ got created and picked up by Fuse that I was a part of that.” Reed is candid about where a locally produced program like “Dancin’ on Air” fits in a world where its more famous counterparts have faded into obscu-

rity, which makes the behind-the-scenes of “Saturday Morning Fever” more entertaining to watch. “In all honesty, I don’t think that there is any demand for a ‘Dancin’ on Air’ show in the format that they are trying to do, like back in the 1980s, in today’s world,” Reed said. “I think that ‘Saturday Morning Fever’ would be quite the opposite because you get to see the making of a television show, whatever kind of show it is, and the realities of behind the scenes. As for ‘Dancin’ on Air’ itself, I don’t think there is any interest. You can’t even watch a 30-second YouTube video these days without being bored or wanting to see something else, let alone four minutes of people just dancing on screen.“

Reed added that, even though there are some similarities between being on radio and being on a television show, radio, for her, is more of a well-oiled machine. “With radio, we do a lot of our own [work],” she said. “I’m here doing the ‘Afternoon Drive’ in Philadelphia and I do the entire thing solo. I’m on the air. I’m taking calls. I’m recording and editing commercials. I’m doing it all and I’m on social media the entire time. It’s a one-person show typically. Going into shooting a TV show, there’s a ton of people involved. A lot more people are relying on you. At the same time I feel like, from my experience in

radio, for the most part I’ve been in a very professional environment. Everyone knows what they are supposed to do. Everyone has a job and we all do our job and we execute. Going into ‘Dancin’ on Air,’ it’s a complete hot mess. No one knows what they are doing. No one has a structure or a format of what is supposed to happen on the show. It’s like they are producing their first television show. I went to Temple [University] locally in Philadelphia and I can tell you my TV PAGE 18

Broadcast 101 class put on a 30-minute show in an hour and [‘Dancin’ On Air’] took five hours to do it. So it’s kind of a hot mess.” So we asked Reed is she was having fun on the TV show. “It depends on the day,” she said. Even though “Dancin’ On Air” is something of a dinosaur when it comes to TV shows, the dancers featured on the show still see it as a chance to get themselves to the next level. “I think that they are just trying to get a break, however possible,” Reed said. “And it is local. They don’t have to go to New York or L.A. to try and get that break. There is this local avenue to do so and they are just trying to capitalize on that. Whether that works or not is a different story.” Even without “Dancin’ on Air” or “Saturday Morning Fever,” Reed’s radio career is in very good shape. After making a name for herself on 96.5 FM, she resigned and took her talents to New York City’s 95.5 before returning to Philly last year as the host of Q102’s “Afternoon Drive.” “I was doing New York part-time. I commuted up there, which was fine. When I left 96.5, it was on my own accord. I needed a change. I had hit a glass ceiling. I would say that going up to New York was one of the best career moments of my life. The studio was overlooking Madison S q u a r e Garden. It gets no better than t h a t . Having that notch on my career belt was phenomenal. I get chills thinking about

it. But I’ve always been based out of Philadelphia. I’ve been here my entre life. I started interning actually at Q102 when I was at Temple. So I started in radio here. So to be back here and hosting the ‘Afternoon Drive,’ even though New York was wonderful, I couldn’t ask to be in a better place in terms of my career in my hometown.” Reed added that, in the age of social media, on-air personalities have much different responsibilities than they did when she started in the industry. “You used to have a four-hour show on the radio,” she said. “Now your show is 24 hours. You’re posting on Instagram and Twitter. Your show is nonstop. It really is a 24-7 job, as opposed to 10 years ago where it was like, ‘Yeah. Go to the station website.’ Now you are on every single social-media platform and blogging.” While radio is her primary passion, Reed said she wants to work on more television projects if the opportunities arise. “I would love to do more TV. There’s a lot of things to do on television, not just reality TV or hosting. I wouldn’t be crushed if that didn’t happen because I do have a successful radio career. I’m a hustler so I’m always looking for the next way to get my mortgage paid. It’s not about the fame for me. I want to live comfortably because I didn’t grow up that fortunate in South Philadelphia. So for me it’s about financial security and how I can do that and enjoy what I do at the same time.” n

Suzi Nash

Gato Espinel: Setting up shop in Northern Liberties Back in 2014, I interviewed hairstylist extraordinaire Marcos Matos; we spoke about his life, his work and his partner, Gato Espinel. The dynamic duo is about to have a baby — a brand-new venue called ME on 2nd Salon in Northern Liberties (ME being their last-name initials combined). PGN: So G-man, let’s jump in it. Tell me a little about yourself. GE: I’m originally from Quito, Ecuador, in South America. But I came to the states when I was very young. I had a hard-working mom and dad who wanted a better life for their eight kids. I’m the second-youngest. They had a lot of pride and gave me that motivation to make something of myself. PGN: What did your parents do? GE: My dad started out as a farmer but he was very smart and had a lot of heart and eventually got into the contracting business. Later, he owned his own dentistry [business] and then a hardware store. PGN: That’s a jump! GE: [Laughs] Yeah, he was great at starting businesses; not so great at keeping them open. He trusted people too much and got hit right and left with unscrupulous people who took advantage of him. PGN: He still must have been somewhat of a renaissance man to get so many different businesses started. GE: Yes, he always strived for a better life for his kids, something I didn’t understand as a child; we just wondered where dad was all the time, but now I know he was working three jobs to make sure we had food on the table. PGN: And with eight kids that’s a lot of work. GE: That is a lot of work. You don’t appreciate it until you’re older and it’s hard enough to take care of yourself. PGN: What’s a fun family memory? GE: One vivid memory comes to mind. When you have so many children, there’s not a lot of money. My dad was a businessman but his businesses were in Ecuador. When we came to the states, he didn’t have a dentistry or hardware store or anything like that. He did the best he could with very little English but it was tough. I remember he had an old white station wagon and we all — eight kids and two adults — packed in it to go to Great Adventure. Nowadays you have seats in the back that flip up, but back then it wasn’t heard of, so we were laying in the back like sardines. That was the event of the year! It was great to have the whole family together for an outing and we had so much fun. It was a great memory.

PGN: What did you think you were going to be when you grew up? GE: Well, I grew up around beauty. My sister’s a hairdresser and aesthetician and I grew up around her. I always had a big interest in skin and hair. And for a hot second I thought that I wanted to be a stylist, but it wasn’t for me. Then I came to the age where I realized I needed to do something that would allow me to travel and see the world without costing me money. And that’s when I got into the hotel industry. At a young age I got hired by the Marriott and I loved it. I also realized that I’m a big foodie and went to culinary school. But I figured out quickly that it wasn’t what I really wanted. I love preparing food for friends or small personal events or parties, but the idea of pumping out 200 dinners of the same thing every day, that was not my thing. So, my field is restaurant and hotel management. I love it. I’ve worked with great chefs at some great companies. PGN: Is that what you’re doing now? GE: Yes, I work for Stephen Starr at Butcher & Singer and it’s great. But I also wanted to do something that would combine my skills in customer service and business with the knowledge that Marcos has from working in the beauty and hair business for so long. I also managed Brasil’s, the restaurant at Second and Chestnut.

PGN: And Ecuador. GE: Yes! [Laughs] Thank you for reminding me! My mom and dad came to the states when I was 1, so I don’t have any memories, but once I was old enough, they took the youngest and went back to Ecuador to retire; now they’re back. But for the 10 years they were there, I got to visit and it was incredible. The first time I visited, the plane arrived just as the sun was going down and as we approached I saw all these houses hanging from the cliffs. I was like, Oh my God! They look like they’re ready to fall! Are they going to fall? How are they hanging there? PGN: You are a self-proclaimed foodie. What’s the best meal you ever had, outside of Butcher & Singer? GE: Wow, there are so many. Probably the best was from Kevin Sbraga, who was the chef de cuisine at The Grill at the Ritz. He won Bravo TV’s “Top Chef,” and on top of being a great guy, he created the best flavors with everything he did. He elevated

PGN: Who did you tell first in the family? GE: I was smart enough to tell the person I knew would open up their mouth and tell everybody — which was my younger sister. I knew eventually the word would go out to everyone.

PGN: How long have you and Marcos been together? GE: We’ve been together for about 20 years. We met when we were young. People are always saying, “Someday I hope to meet someone I’m meant to be with.” Well, we did.

PGN: The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! GE: I know. From there I started at the Ritz Carlton and was there for 16 years.

PGN: What’s the farthest you’ve traveled? GE: I’ve been to Spain, California and Mexico.

PGN: Questions such as? GE: Things are not exactly as I was told. Many people take the Bible literally, word for word, and that’s just not so. The stories have been rewritten and switched around and have deeper meaning other than the surface message you read.

PGN: Are they close by? GE: Not too far, most of the family is in Connecticut.

PGN: I remember that place. Very popular. They had free salsa lessons. GE: Yes, I managed that and then I was the maître d’ at La Veranda with Roberta, the original owner, and at the same time I was still working at the Marriott. I really worked a lot.

PGN: You love to travel. What was your craziest adventure? GE: I think it was when we went to the Cayman Islands. They took us on a boat into the middle of the ocean. I was like, Wow, there’s nothing around us! Then they dropped anchor and said, “You can get off now.” I was like, What on earth? But it turned out that it was a special area where you could feed stingrays. So we jumped overboard in the middle of the ocean and amazingly the water only came up to our waists! They gave us some food and the stingrays started swimming up so we could feed them. Before you knew it there were a lot of them. They weren’t scared at all — I guess they were used to it — but it was a magical moment. Scary, but amazing.

was taught that it was wrong, that it was a demon, the devil inside of you, and I carried that in my head for some time. I had a really hard time coming out — until I educated myself about not just Christianity, but other religions as well. That opened up my eyes and got me questioning things. I believe that there’s a higher being helping me out, I can’t deny that, but I’m not devout like my mother.

home cooking. Jennifer Carroll was also on “Top Chef” and one of our chefs. She made the most delicious sauces you could imagine. To this day, I still think about them. PGN: When did you come out? GE: In my 20s. It was a rough experience for me. Typical Latin upbringing. I come from a very religious family; my mom especially was a very devout Catholic, Christian now. From a very young age, I

PGN: How did you meet? GE: It’s a long story but I’ll make it short. My job at the time was to open up new hotels; I’d just opened up the Marriott, the big one on Market Street, and was getting ready to leave and go to our New York property. Then, I saw Marcos at a club — Woody’s, of course. I didn’t meet him but I saw him across the room and right away I knew. It was his smile. But he was surrounded by lots Photo: Suzi Nash of admirers and I’m not the type to fight for someone’s attention so that was it. Then the next day a friend of mine invited me to Latin night at the 2/4 Club. I saw Marcos on the dance floor having fun and doing his thing and at the end of the night he walked past me and we exchanged smiles, nothing more. So the next night I told my friend, “Let’s see if we can find him.” We went bar hopping all night and nothing. Just as I was about to go home, she said, “There’s a new club that just opened, let’s just PAGE 26

After winning William Way LGBT Community Center’s annual juried-art exhibition, three local artists are now enjoying having their work showcased at the center. The “Hall, Kalinay & Reed” exhibition features the works of Ed Hall, Glynnis Reed and Aaron Kalinay through Feb. 26. Hall and Reed are displaying works that are digital in origin, while Hall specializes in fantastical illustrations and Reed uses photographic elements to create mixed-media compositions. Kalinay’s work combines paint on canvas with mixed-media elements. Reed said her contributions to the exhibition are from a photo series titled “Ascending Beauty.” “It’s an expanding collection of portraits of women and queer-identified individuals who have touched my life in their own way and have had an impact on me,” Reed said. “The photos are meant to honor and uplift these individuals, and show their strength and beauty and uniqueness.” Reed said she strives for each work to have multiple interpretations. “It’s not that I have one direct message,” she said. “It’s the culmination of multiple layers of ideas that I express, and the way that I create my art reinforces that idea because I work with photography and digital manipulations that have multiple images collaged together, [which] creates a sense of multiplicity. You get through the layers and take the work in and my hope is the viewer will also explore the layers in the meanings as well.” “I don’t always have the deepest meaning behind my artwork,” Hall noted. “But the particular pieces in this exhibition are varied in the way I approached them, emotionally, not style-wise.” Hall added that, even though he works as a freelance graphic designer, he hadn’t initially thought of submitting artwork for the competition that won him a spot on this exhibition. “I’ve done volunteer work for the William Way Center and they are a client of mine as a graphic designer,” he said. “They have this juried-arts show every year and I’ve always wanted to enter it but I never had the confidence to do it. This past one I got one piece in and it ended up winning.” Both Hall and Reed said the support of William Way is important to them as out artists. “I don’t know too many art galleries that focus primarily on the LGBT community,” Hall said. “So I think it’s nice that William Way, instead of just displaying any kind of art, is really focused on the community and the artwork that the community produces. It’s a great show-

case for people who would not often get the same attention from another gallery. A lot of work I see at the William Way is very unique in its approach and I think some of the bigger galleries would reject that.” Said Reed: “I feel like to get that kind of recognition for the specific work that I created was very validating because the image that I submitted was a portrait of a gender-queer friend of mine. I think it’s nice to have William Way as a space that feels welcoming and will embrace representations of that sort.” n The William Way LGBT Community Center presents “Hall, Kalinay & Reed” through Feb. 26 at 1315 Spruce St. For more information, call 215-732-2220.

SPORTS PGN

You Can Play with the Flyers On Jan. 25, the Philadelphia Flyers will celebrate the NHL collaboration with national LGBTQ youth sports organization You Can Play during a regular-season game against the Boston Bruins. Event organizers hope to bring more awareness to the program and help put some money into the You Can Play coffers. The You Can Play Project was cofounded by Philadelphia Flyers scout Patrick Burke, former Colorado Avalanche executive Brian Kitts and Glenn Witman, who played college hockey and also founded GForce Sports. The partnership between NHL and You Can Play was announced in April 2013 and with it, the NHL became the first major American professional sports league to officially partner with an LGBT advocacy group on this scale.

“It is a powerful message of inclusion to have an entire sports organization, like our Flyers, stand up and declare that they are an organization that supports LGBT players, fans and staff.” At the time, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said, “Our motto is ‘Hockey is For Everyone,’ and our partnership with You Can Play certifies that position in a clear and

unequivocal way. While we believe that our actions in the past have shown our support for the LGBT community, we are delighted to reaffirm through this joint venture with the NHL Players’ Association that the official policy of the NHL is one of inclusion on the ice, in our locker rooms and in the stands.” The Flyers organization was originally contacted weeks ago by organizers at You Can Play about holding an awareness event at the arena. Sarah Fergus, manager of marketing communications for the Philadelphia Flyers, said the league is frequently approached by groups wishing to be part of a game. This will be the Flyers’ first team-up with You Can Play, although other NHL and college hockey teams have hosted similar events, as well as other local sports groups, like the Philadelphia Soul. “We’re very excited to be hosting the first You Can Play Night here in Philadelphia as a part of the NHL’s league-wide initiative,” said Fergus. “We immediately jumped at the opportunity to work with them.” As part of the LGBTQ-focused evening, there will be a special recognition of Mayor Kenney’s director of LGBT affairs, Nellie Fitzpatrick. “It is a powerful message of inclusion to have an entire sports organization, like our Flyers, stand up and declare that they are an organization that supports LGBT players, fans and staff,” Fitzpatrick said. “I am

incredibly grateful for the work of You Can Play and the Flyers, as well as my friends [You Can Play vice president of program development and community relations] Anna Aagenes and [GO! Athletes director of strategic initiatives] Nora Cothren for dedicating their work to ensuring that LGBT youth grow up knowing that no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity, they can play, cheer, participate and grow. I look forward to collaborating on further projects with You Can Play here in the city of Philadelphia.” Fitzpatrick added she is looking forward to networking with community members and allies at a pre-game gathering at 5:15 p.m. at the Cure Insurance Club inside the Wells Fargo Center. You Can Play and Flyers representatives will participate in the event. Aagenes noted that one of the primary goals for the Flyers-You Can Play partnership is to use this inaugural game as a springboard for future events. “We would like to make the event a yearly tradition,” she said. “The goal is to keep the involvement in the community after the game and throughout the year.” Tickets for the Jan. 25 game against the Boston Bruins that are purchased with the promo code FLYOUCANPLAY will have $5 of the ticket charges donated to You Can Play. Money raised helps support the organization’s video-outreach program,

which includes hundreds of videos available online. Ally groups who are supportive and encouraging to young LGBT athletes make many of the videos, but some feature out athletes as well. Go to PhiladelphiaFlyers.com/promocode for the special deal. For groups of 10 or more, contact steve_luongo@comcastspectacor.com. You Can Play will celebrate its four-year anniversary on March 4. Donations can be made directly to the organization at youcanplayproject.org.

Looking is free, but you can also donate in the name of your favorite Finner. It helps them raise money for the organization and a local nonprofit.

PORTRAIT from page 19

try that before we give up.” We went and there he was. The story is way longer but to make it short, we talked and danced and ended up closing the place. The conversation moved outside and two weeks later we moved in together. We haven’t left each other since. PGN: Wow! GE: Yes, it was meant to be. The first time he came over I told him to make himself comfortable and watch TV while I went to go wash up. I came back and he was watching the Cartoon Network! I love cartoons, but I probably wouldn’t have shown it right away. That’s when I knew he was a keeper. We have so much in common. PGN: What’s your favorite cartoon character? GE: Definitely Bugs Bunny. He’s a chameleon. He gets away with murder! PGN: One of my favorite cartoons is when Bugs becomes a hairdresser, the “monsters are such interesting people” scene. Speaking of interesting people, tell me about ME on 2nd Salon. GE: We’ve been wanting to open up our own place for a while. We owned a building at Second and Bainbridge, which was a big learning experience. We learned about city regulations and red tape, about the law and we learned a lot about bad tenants. We sold it and moved on and now we have this place. PGN: What are the best and worst parts of being a business owner? GE: The best part is watching something grow that you personally created. You start out with a shell and end up with a beautiful finished product and it’s like, Wow, we did this … together. It’s an awesome feeling knowing you did it your way and it looks the way you want. The worst thing is irresponsible people. You would think that people would show up on time and do the job they said they would but it doesn’t happen a lot. You really have to be on top of it. And that old saying, “You get what you pay for,” is

true. When you’re opening a new business, you want to make that budget stretch as much as possible, but in the end you find out it was worthwhile to spend the extra dollar and get it done right the first time. PGN: So what makes ME on 2nd Salon special? GE: The salon represents the best of me and Marcos; it is us. The person who helped us with the design has known us for years and knows us well, so it’s incorporated the color and wildness of Marcos with the classical, earthy style that represents me. So we have a salon that’s fashion-forward with a lot of energy and with the customer-service levels that you would find at a luxury hotel. You don’t just come in and sit there. It’s an experience. PGN: What else should I know about you? GE: I’m a big animal person. Ridiculously so. If the ship were sinking, my dogs would probably come first. I have two Welsh terriers, Zeus and Hercules. They’re like our children. One has allergies, so we’re constantly having to wipe his eyes, give him baths, make sure he has his medicine … PGN: Ha. I’ve heard of people having allergies to dogs, never the other way around. GE: Oh yes, he’s allergic to everything. We had him tested. PGN: So, what’s your favorite candy? GE: I like all sweets but M&Ms with peanuts is a favorite! PGN: What is an occupation you would not want to do? GE: Prison guard. I think that the negative atmosphere would be hard and would eventually change you.

FUN & PGN GAMES

Last time you cried? GE: It’s funny, we were just talking about this. I don’t cry. It’s a long story, but there are very thick walls you’d have to penetrate before I’d show that kind of emotion. I’m very protective of myself. I’ve been lucky that I’ve never lost anybody that I loved. The closest I came to feeling that pain was when my original terrier, Hera — mother of Zeus — died. She was in an accident. For the first time, I felt what it meant to lose something that you loved and it was an ugly feeling. And that was a dog, so I can’t imagine … I did lose a brother but I was too young to know him. He was 16 and went for a bike ride. He lost control and hit his head on a tree. When my dog died, I immediately called my parents and said, “How did you do it? How do you cope? I’m feeling this way and it was a dog. I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child.” Especially the way they lost him. When it happened, they took him to the hospital and the hospital made him wait. They made him wait and wait ’til he died from internal bleeding. These days, that would have been a massive lawsuit, but they didn’t know any better. They didn’t speak much English and trusted the doctors to do the right thing. PGN: That’s horrific. First boyfriend? GE: I was 20. I’ve only been in three relationships. The first was one of those “opposites attract,” but I learned quickly that opposites are not compatible. You need to have things in common, to like at least some of the same things, so you can go to the movies without fighting.

PGN: What zodiac sign are you? GE: Taurus. May 1.

PGN: Maybe it’s a Taurus thing; I don’t understand totally opposite couples like Mary Matalin and James Carville. How can you be with someone who disapproves of everything you believe in? GE: That’s what’s great about me and Marcos. We’re like the same person! n

PGN: That’s my mother’s birthday. I’m an April Taurus. I knew I liked you!

The recently opened SOUTH kitchen and jazz bar, 600 N. Broad St., is injecting a healthy dose of southern charm into our northern metropolis. Considering a few other wellknown local chefs and restaurants are doing the same, that is quite the undertaking.
