Nutter joins marriageequality mayors

NJ may get first out Supreme Court justice

By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com

Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie moved to make the state’s top court more diverse this week, nominating two new justices — an Asian American and an openly gay African American. Christie announced Monday he was nominating Phillip Kwon and Bruce Harris, the out Republican mayor of Chatham, for two open seats on the New Jersey Supreme Court. The New Jersey Senate needs to confirm both nominees. If approved, New Jersey would have its first gay and/or Asian-American Supreme Court justices. Kwon is the state’s First Assistant Attorney General, and Harris has helmed city government in the North Jersey town since November in an election that was in itself historic: He is believed to be the first and only out, black Republican mayor in the nation. Harris, an attorney with Greenberg Traurig, would be the state’s third African-American justice and would join a group of just six other openly LGBT individuals who serve on state-level supreme courts throughout the nation. He was joined by his partner during Christie’s press conference to announce the nominations this week. Christie heralded the momentous nature of the nominations. “While these two men have stellar résumés and are respected throughout the legal communities for what they have accomplished as lawyers, these nominations are historic for another reason,” the governor said. “Not only do their different backgrounds and career paths bring distinctive and important perspectives PAGE 21

MAKING A SPLASH: Members of LGBT swimming organization Philadelphia Fins Aquatic Club took part in the annual fundraising Postal Swim Jan. 22 at Friends Select School, which raised money for the club and The Attic Youth Center. The 20 members swam as many laps as possible in the time limit, and supporters pledged money for each lap swam. The amount raised has not yet been finalized, but Fins board president Jan Elsasser said the organization was hoping to surpass last year’s total of $3,800. Photo: Patrick Hagerty

A coalition of more than 100 mayors from cities across the nation have come out in support of marriage equality, including Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter. Nutter was among a dozen city leaders who took part in a press conference to announce the creation of Mayors for the Freedom to Marry last Friday in Washington, D.C. The original group was about 80 strong but the effort gained the support of more mayors, who were taking part in the 80th annual U.S. Conference of Mayors, over the weekend. The issue has been on the agenda of the Conference since 2009, when the organization voted in favor of a resolution calling for marriage equality. The latest initiative was crafted in partnership with LGBT agency Freedom to Marry, whose national campaign director, Marc Solomon, noted that “marriage is on the march in towns and cities across the nation, and these mayors will play an important role in advancing the cause.” Joining Nutter are Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan, Erie Mayor Joe Sinnot, and Chad Goerner and Cory Booker, of Princeton

and Newark, N.J., respectively. Coalition members all signed on to a statement that expresses support for same-sex marriage and a commitment to pursuing equality for their constituents. “We stand for the freedom to marry because it enhances the economic competitiveness of our communities, improves the lives of families that call our cities home and is simply the right thing to do,” the statement reads. “We look forward to working to build an America where all people can share in the love and commitment of marriage with the person with whom they share their life.” The coalition is chaired by New York City’s Mike Bloomberg, Boston’s Thomas Menino, Houston’s Annise Parker, San Diego’s Jerry Sanders and Los Angeles’ Antonio Villaraigosa. Nutter joined a handful of the mayors who took the podium at the press conference to explain their reasoning for supporting marriage equality. PAGE 6

NJ Senate committee passes marriage bill, Christie calls for referendum By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com The same day that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was professing that he would veto a marriage-equality bill, the state Senate put the measure one step closer to his desk. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 8-4 Tuesday to advance a proposal that would legalize same-sex marriage in the Garden State. The bill, which moved forward on a partyline vote, will now come before the full Senate Feb. 13. Marriage equality has been given top priority by state legislators this session, who introduced it as the first bill of the year in both the Senate and Assembly.

The measure was defeated on the Senate floor last session after a 7-6 Judiciary Committee vote, but supporters say they have acquired new “yes” votes, including from Senate President Stephen Sweeney. An Assembly committee vote has not yet been scheduled. This week’s committee vote followed three hours of public testimony, in which supporters and opponents argued for and against the merits of marriage equality. In his address to fellow legislators, Assemblyman Reed Gusciora, the openly gay prime sponsor of the marriage-equality bill, defended the measure against religious opponents and emphasized that it includes a religious exemption, even though marPAGE 21

The William Way LGBT Community Center announced it would build a partnership with The Attic Youth Center as part of its goals for 2012, and brought on five board members for new terms at the William Way’s annual meeting Jan. 21 at 1315 Spruce St. The center’s membership elected four new board members and appointed a board member at the meeting. Current board members Leon King II and Steve Brando were reelected to twoyear terms, while Tricia Dressel and Rudy Flesher were elected as new board members for two-year terms. The four replaced outgoing board members Deb Francesco, Matt O’Malley, Eric Ashton and Joseph Dougherty. Brando was named the new secretary for the board, replacing O’Malley. The new board then appointed Jocelyn Block to a two-year term. There are currently 14 members on the William Way LGBT Community Center’s Board with one vacant seat. Members with ongoing terms include cochairs Stephanie Gross and Jeff Sotland, treasurer Ann Butchart, Ted Greenberg, Amber Hikes, Adam Hymans, Moira Mulroney, Brad Richards and Laurie Ward. Chris Bartlett, the center’s executive director, reported the successes in 2010 and 2011, including the renovation and expansion of the facilities (such as an ADA-compliant bathroom), increasing the visibility of programs and services throughout the region and creating two new successful fundraising events — Homecoming in June and IndiGogo in October. Other achievements included expanded programming for seniors and hiring two full-time employees: executive assistant Paul Blore and director of development

Michael Pomante. Bartlett also reported on the center’s short-term and long-term goals and strategies for the next five years. The center’s strategies include leveraging the center’s space and location to have a highly visible presence, partnering with other organizations to extend the center’s offerings and reaching beyond the LGBT communities for support and engagement. Bartlett also outlined five goals for the center: to foster strong, vibrant LGBT communities; provide a continuum of services to meet unique LGBT needs; undertake a capital campaign to renovate the center into a state-of-the-art facility, internally and externally; establish a sustainable business model; and build a strategic alliance with The Attic Youth Center. Butchart reported on the center’s finances, relaying that the center reported revenue of $861,150 for fiscal year 2011. Building income accounted for $138,175, events for $62,509, individual donations for $515,242, grants for $92,000, programs and miscellaneous for $9,239 and $43,985 was released from restriction. Expenses for the center in 2011 were reported at $651,113. Building expenses accounted for $63,851, general operating costs for $112,613, marketing and fundraising for $37,128, personnel expenses for $418,361 and program expenses totaled $19,160. The 2012 budget anticipates $772,655 in income, planning for $121,580 in building income, $110,925 in event income, $278,520 in individual donations, $251,150 in grants, $7,480 from programs and miscellaneous and $3,000 released from restriction. The 2012 budget also plans for $772,655 in expenses, including $89,335 in building costs, $96,370 for general operating costs, $43,200 for marketing and fundraising, PAGE 21

see circumstances where there is a connection between the child-welfare system and lingering discrimination against gays and lesbians that can end up hurting the child,” Levick said. Juvenile justice has been one of the cornerstones of SPLC, Levick said. The agency advocates on behalf of youth, the poor, immigrants and the LGBT community, among other marginalized groups. “SPLC really started because of the civilrights movement,” Levik said. “It was initially established to address issues of racial justice and poverty in the South. Over the past more than 40 years, it’s continued to evolve and reexamine legal arenas in which the human rights and civil rights of people are directly affected, and the LGBT area is one where we know this is still happening. SPLC correctly views LGBT rights as a civil-rights concern and recognizes that, as an organization, they have the skills, resources and expertise to try to bring to bear change in this area.” SPLC’s LGBT-focused work has run the gamut from a suit challenging “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” to the monitoring of antigay hate groups. Recently, the organization has directed

increased attention to the issue of antiLGBT bullying in schools — this past year taking legal action against a school that sought to prevent two girls from participating in a school event as a couple, as well as against a Minnesota school district plagued by LGBT youth suicides that it says has failed to adequately address anti-LGBT bullying. “I think [SPLC’s] entrée into that case sparked their broader interest in looking at these issues with young people, particularly in states in the South, where there are so many instances of bullying are where LGBT youth are particularly vulnerable,” Levick said. “The consequences can be devastating, so this is one issue SPLC really wants to pay attention to.” SPLC’s LGBT agenda will be one of the areas Levick will address during her Ethical Society discussion, which is free and open to the public. “SPLC is an extraordinary organization and has a very broad agenda with respect to racial justice, civil rights and poverty, and they have a message that I’m very happy to carry to the Ethical Society,” she said.

D.A. office to release 911 transcript — transcribed by PGN The District Attorney’s office this week sent an email to the Police Advisory Commission stating that it has located a transcript of 911 recordings in its possession that was made by a PGN reporter. The Jan. 23 email from Todd M. Mosser, chief of litigation for the D.A., also stated that no additional 911 recordings have been located, other than those transcribed by the reporter. According to Mosser’s email, the PGN transcript is stored separately from the D.A.’s Morris file, thus it wasn’t included in a batch of Morris documents supplied to the PAC last month. This reporter transcribed Morris 911 recordings from a cassette tape that was leaked by a former police official in 2004. The transcript was submitted as an exhibit in PGN’s Rightto-Know request for additional Morris 911 recordings from the D.A.’s office. Last week, PGN’s request was listed for oral arguments in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, but a date hasn’t been set. Mosser’s email doesn’t clarify why the

request is pending in court if the D.A.’s office only has Morris 911 recordings transcribed by a PGN reporter. At their Jan. 23 public meeting, PAC members agreed unanimously to ask Mosser for a copy of the PGN transcript. “After we receive the transcript, we’ll decide our next move,” said PAC member Ronda B. Goldfein, who was elected chair of the PAC at the meeting. Morris was a transgender woman found with a fatal head wound in 2003 shortly after receiving a courtesy ride from Philadelphia police. She died two days later, on Dec. 24, 2002, from complications due to a fractured skull. The homicide remains unsolved, and the PAC is reviewing the incident for possible police misconduct. Before issuing a report, PAC members are seeking all Morris investigative records in the D.A.’s possession, with the exception of internal office memos. ■

NY-based Sabel Scities takes Miss’d America By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com

Glitter was flying Saturday night as the Miss’d America competition took over Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall. After a night of competition and camp, Sabel Scities was crowned queen in the drag competition that is meant to parody the mainstream Miss America contest. Scities, portrayed by Timothy Byars of Sunnyside, N.Y., began her drag career seven years ago and also holds the title of Miss Fire Island 2010. She beat out 13 other contestants — the largest pool of con-

tenders in the pageant’s history. About 1,300 supporters turned out for the charity pageant, about 100 more than last year’s show. Fundraising, which will benefit philanthropic efforts of the Greater Atlantic City GLBT Alliance and the Schultz-Hill Scholarship Foundation, had not been tallied by press time. The evening was emceed by Carson Kressley, who took over from former longtime host Sandy Beach, who was ousted by organizers last year as they pursued national exposure. Alliance president Larry Sieg said Kressley’s presence, as well as the inclusion of drag performer

Martha Wash, “brought the pageant to another level.” Sieg said it was “one of the most successful pageants we’ve ever had. It was an incredible event, and the change in format by focusing more on the pageantry, while still having a high-quality production, really helped.” Organizers are already looking ahead to next year’s show, which Sieg said could be held in the fall, to avoid weather complications and allow for outdoor events. At this year’s show, Scities wowed the judges with routines that included a fur-lined swimsuit and a Courtney Love impression, which she said “got the judges’

attention in a unique way that they may not have seen before.” Scities delivered winning performances despite limited mobility due to a recent injury. Also in the winner’s circle was Victoria Porkchop Parker, whose Miss Piggy bathing suit was a big hit with the audience and judges, in second place, and Bootsie LeFaris in third. While the pageant was full of laughs, the Miss’d America title is a distinction Scities said she will use to affect change for younger generations of the LGBT community.

“My main goal is to reach out and strengthen a bond between Miss’d America and the queer youth,” she said. “Title holders and decent people, for that matter, are not just flowers that pop out of the ground; we need guidance and nurturing and positive atmospheres to thrive and grow in. If I had the support at 14 that I had at 17, I probably would have had a lot more confidence and been more comfortable with coming out and into my own personality. I want to contribute to any organization that believes in the same.” ■

PGN EDITORIAL

Creep of the Week

D’Anne Witkowski

Patrick Wooden

Editorial

Taking progress for granted Gays certainly had some visibility this week, marking progress, continued challenges and events taken for granted (but are significant nonetheless). Under progress, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie nominated an openly gay African-American Republican to the state Supreme Court. This is significant, particularly in a state where a pending marriage-equality lawsuit will likely make it to the Supreme Court. This latest suit argues that the state’s civilunion law — and the lack of “marriage” — does not fulfill the Supreme Court’s 2006 ruling to grant same-sex couples rights equivalent to marriage. That said, Christie’s nomination is a safe one on this issue: The court already ruled in favor of providing same-sex couples with equitable rights. Adding a gay voice isn’t likely to radically change the outcome of that vote. This isn’t to say that Christie is the largest friend — or foe — of the LGBT community in New Jersey. While he backed the state’s tough bullying bill last year, he also promised to veto the pending marriage-equality bill and said it should be on the ballot in the fall. In stating that he’d rather have the issue go to referendum, he also drew ire with this: “People would have been happy to have referendum on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets in the South.” Perhaps he doesn’t fully understand the events of the Civil Rights Movement, and that the public wasn’t in favor of equal rights for African Americans: A voter referendum wouldn’t have given equal rights. (Nor is it appropriate for the majority to vote

on the rights of minorities.) Assembly speaker Sheila Oliver called it “unfathomable” and an “insult” to suggest a referendum would have been the better course, adding: “It took legislative action to bring justice to all Americans, just as legislative action is the right way to bring marriage equality to all New Jerseyans.” Under events now taken for granted was President Obama’s use of the word “gay” in the State of the Union address. This is the third time Obama has directly referenced gays in the annual address, each time referring to the repeal of the ban on openly gay servicemembers in the military. In 2010, Obama promised to repeal the ban; in 2011, he promised to enact the repeal Congress had passed the month prior. In his 2012 address, Obama said it doesn’t matter if you are “black or white, Asian or Latino, conservative or liberal, gay or straight” when you are on a military mission — reinforcing that gays and lesbians can now serve openly and calling for Congress to work together. Also, First Lady Michelle Obama invited two lesbians to sit with her and Dr. Biden during the State of the Union address — but it’s not the first time she has hosted LGBTs. Though some might discount the Obamas’ inclusion of gays and lesbians as commonplace and, therefore, insignificant, it’s worth noting that Obama is the first president to say “gay” in his State of the Union address. While the LGBT community has made progress, until full equality is achieved, it’s too early to take any of it for granted. ■

Holy shit. And I mean that literally. Because Patrick Wooden is both a pastor and a man whose imagination is wildly scatological, at least when it comes to the gays. Wooden is a North Carolina pastor and an outspoken — to say the least — critic of LGBT rights. The American Family Association, National Organization for Marriage and the Family Research Council all consider Wooden a good pal. In an interview with antigay chattering heads Peter LaBarbera and Matt Barber on their “Americans for Truth Hour” radio show, Wooden made clear that he thinks gays are basically full of it. “The God of the Bible made the human sperm, the God of the Bible designed it and it was not designed to be emptied into an area that is filled with feces, there is nothing for it to germinate with, it will most certainly mean the extinction of the human race,” Wooden said. Hope you weren’t eating when you read that. But don’t worry. It gets worse. “My belief is that if the medical community would just step forward and just would share with the American people what happens to the male anus, the problems that homosexuals have with their rectums, the damage that is done, the operations that are needed to sew up their bodies if you will, and how many of the men don’t even give these stitches time to heal before they are back out there practicing that wicked behavior,” he continued. “Some are bleeders, men who are not turned off by ingesting the feces of other men.”

Woah. Where to even start? First of all, the claim that anal sex will bring about the extinction of the human race is a little hyperbolic. Just a tad. I mean, if somehow people all over the world, gay and straight and everything in between, stopped any other form of sex, then, sure, that might be an issue. But to even suggest that is going to happen takes a really big leap of faith and imagination. Then again, I think it’s pretty clear that Wooden’s imagination is very, well, active. “Bleeders” eating poo? Dude. I also really think that the key words in Wooden’s comments are “my belief.” It is his belief that the medical community should “step forward” and “share” this anal fiction with America. As if there’s some huge underground anus operation cabal no one is talking about. And speaking of “truth,” Wooden had more to spew: “If the truth was told, people would literally gag and no one would want to be in a lifestyle like that. Who wants to practice anything that is going to ultimately lead a grown man to about the time he’s in his 40s or 50s, or what not, having to wear a diaper or a butt plug just to be able to contain their bowels?” Wow, how do you even respond to that? I mean, besides having gay men with healthy butts send photographic evidence to Wooden. ■

The claim that anal sex will bring about the extinction of the human race is a little hyperbolic. Just a tad.

Letters and Feedback Museum: Labeling would be ‘disingenuous tokenism’ In the recent editorial, “There are no Gay Jews” (Jan. 20-26), Mark Segal asserts that the creators of the National Museum of American Jewish History should “bow their heads in shame” for “discrimination by censorship” because “something was missing. LGBT.” Segal writes that the Museum made a “shameful” error because he “didn’t find those four letters anywhere in the museum.” We appreciate that Mr. Segal chose to visit the Museum with his nephew and, as an institution organized around the theme of freedom, fully agree that the “struggle for equality deserves to become a reality” for all Americans. However, Mr. Segal’s assertion that the Museum “closeted” Jewish members of the LGBT community is inaccurate and misleading. It is not the Museum’s policy

to identify those represented in the core exhibition by a particular sexual identity (or, for that matter, any other identity, such as denominational affiliation) unless that identity is specifically relevant to their story, as in the case of Harvey Milk. We believe that labeling people purely for the sake of putting them in some sort of “identity bucket” — be it religious, sexual or racial — would be disingenuous tokenism and an inappropriate interpretive strategy for a Museum. But that in no way means that we ignore America’s Jewish LGBT community or LGBT Jews who have embraced Jewish identities even as they challenged Jewish traditions and observances. Our belief is that representation is not a matter of simply printing four letters on the wall, but of telling real human

stories of struggle, advocacy and achievement. Allow us to offer some examples of how LGBT Jews are represented in the Museum. Not only is Harvey Milk featured in the Museum, but he is explicitly celebrated for his pioneering advocacy of gay rights. In addition, the Museum’s second floor notes that “the 1960s witnessed the birth of the gay rights movement to grant civil rights to homosexuals” and features a haggadah entitled “A New Haggadah: Jewish Lesbian Seder,” as well as the 2004 wedding of two Brooklyn women who committed to one another in a traditional Jewish wedding celebration. “By century’s end,” the exhibition continues, “diversity had become the hallmark of American Jewish life.” The National Museum of American Jewish History explores Jewish life in

America over the course of 350 years. It is a sprawling narrative that highlights the diverse backgrounds, expectations and experiences of Jews who made their homes in this nation and celebrates the freedoms that made it possible for Jewish — and all — Americans to flourish. By illuminating and celebrating Americans’ shared history and ongoing encounters with the blessings, challenges and responsibilities of freedom, we aim to inspire in Jews and all peoples a sense of community and shared values. Like the nation in which we live, our Museum is an evolving, organic institution, and we expect the story we tell to evolve over time as well. We look forward to continuing to tell that evolving story and working side by side with the LGBT community to raise awareness of the stories we do tell in our exhibition PAGE 12

Yo u r e x p e r i e n c e a t t h e National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia is absolutely not representative of the Jewish community in Philadelphia. I am a community leader for Spectrum Philly, an organization for queer Jews in their 20s and 30s. In my time in Philadelphia, I have been embraced, as a queer Jew and as an organizer for this community, by The Jewish Graduate Student Network, The Collaborative, Tribe 12, Beth Ahavah, Rodeph Shalom, Kol Tzedek, Moishe House, The Jewish Exponent and Hillel of Greater Philadelphia. That is just in my personal experience. Anecdotally, I have heard many many more reports of inclusion and support within the Jewish community. I have never experienced any pushback or discrimination from the Jewish community I choose to partake in. I realize your headline was intended to be provocative and we both know there are, of course, many gay Jews. As a queer Jew, this community is such an important part of who I am, and I care deeply about equality within the Jewish and the LGBT-queer community. As an organizer, I am trying to learn more about the needs of my community. I would love to have more people involved in Spectrum Philly, but I’m having a tough time finding ones who are not already plugged into the Jewish organizations I’m involved in. Perhaps your experience at the museum is the perception many gay Jews have of the larger Jewish community who do not know about the outpouring of support we have received. This is to let you and all the queer Jews in Philadelphia know that we are here, and we’d love to meet you and welcome you into our community and into the Jewish community. ■ — Amanda Davis, community organizer, Spectrum Philly

While finding love on your morning commute to work or school might not be on your daily agenda, many Philadelphia-area love stories have started on the city’s rails, buses and trolleys — and this Valentine’s season, SEPTA wants to hear all of them, including those from same-sex couples. SEPTA Love Stories is a contest for all local couples who met their partners, or rekindled old love, aboard the transit system. Couples can submit their stories, along with accompanying photos and videos, online, and the entries that get the most votes from the public will be chosen for a Valentine’s Day weekend adventure. Top vote-getters will board a specially decorated “Love Train” that will follow the Mural Arts Program’s “Love Letters” display, followed by a champagne reception. Submissions and voting will be open until 11:59 p.m. Feb. 6. The contest, now in its third year, has

always been open to couples of all backgrounds, said SEPTA director of media relations Jerri Williams, but this is the first year that same-sex couples have submitted stories. “We’re excited because SEPTA serves all of Philadelphia, all of the five-county region, and we want to make sure all of our passengers and riders are part of everything we do,” she said. “We’re very happy that our gay and lesbian passengers feel comfortable sharing their love stories with us.” There were more than two-dozen stories so far posted on the site as of presstime that tell tales of dating, weddings and, for one lesbian couple, a recent adoption. Williams said SEPTA is eager for the contest to represent the diverse body of transit riders it serves. “We want to serve everyone equally and we’re very excited that we have couples sending us stories no matter their orientation, age, race. Love is all good.” To submit or vote on stories, visit www. septalovestories.org. ■

surmised that, if he were alive today, he would be a supporter of the community. “He believed in the equality of all people and believed that the United States is a democracy that guarantees equal rights under the Constitution, so I think he would be supportive of any rights being extended to gays that are extended to anyone else, including the right to marry,” he said. Naegle met Rustin in 1977 and the pair spent Rustin’s last decade together. By that time, Naegle said Rustin had accepted the fact that his name was not as recognizable as King’s.

number of personal photos and correspondence, some of which Naegle contributed. To fuel conversation among visitors, the exhibit will also feature a comment book asking guests what, if any, causes they would be willing to sacrifice for — to the point of arrest and incarceration. While the exhibit is a welcome tribute to Rustin’s life, its display should also illustrate to visitors the value of local-level activism — and the importance of authenticity in changing hearts and minds. “I think people, especially gay people, who grow up in small towns, can’t wait to get out and go to a city where they feel more comfortable, but it’s important for people to start getting involved and making a difference at home. That’s where Bayard got his start, right in West Chester,” Naegle said. “One of the most important things he used to say is that prejudice and bigotry largely come from ignorance and fear. People aren’t acquainted with other people or have certain notions about other people because they don’t have experience with that community. If he were alive today, he would urge gay people to come out of the closet and be open, be themselves and let their family members and friends know and understand who they are. That’s the best way to change ignorant, bigoted ideas people have about the gay community.” ■ “Bayard Rustin’s Local Roots” will open Feb. 2 at the Chester County Historical Society, 225 N. High St. in West Chester, and run through August. The exhibit will be open from 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday and is free with general admission. A reception will be held in early March to mark Rustin’s 100th birthday. For more information, visit www.chestercohistorical.org.

“He was disappointed that he didn’t get credit for some of the work that he did and the demonstrations he organized, but I think he made his peace with it and was comfortable with it,” Naegle said. “The work was the most important thing to him. It wasn’t about establishing a public position for himself or to satisfy his ambition or ego — he cared about building a community and a movement.” Perhaps Rustin never sought recognition, but he will receive it in the upcoming exhibit at the Chester County Historical Society, which seeks to educate younger generations about the myriad contributions of the oft-unsung hometown hero. Ellen Endslow, director of collections/curator at the society, said the organization saw Rustin’s centennial as an opportunity to celebrate his life and the lessons that can be gleaned from his work. “We try to feature people from Chester County who have done things that have not only helped to influence local people but also the nation, and what other person could have made such a big influence on the nation than him?” Endslow posed. “The concept of equal opportunity is critical and sometimes you need to go the extra mile to make your point, and that’s what he did. When a person believes in something, they need to stand up for that, and I think that’s the most important thing we can learn from him.” Endslow noted that, unlike some collections that highlight artwork or other materials, this exhibit will primarily focus on Rustin’s ideas and thus will showcase original documents, manuscripts and a

Joseph Reale, a longtime employee of Macy’s and a frequent face in the Gayborhood, died Jan. 17 of a heart attack. He was 57. Reale was a resident of Mount Laurel, N.J., and managed the Lancôme counter at the Macy’s store in Moorestown, where he worked for more than two decades. Reale was a native of Riverside, N.J., and graduated from Riverside High School and later Rutgers University, where he majored in communication and liberal arts. He lived throughout South Jersey — in other locales like Cherry Hill and Delran — but visited Center City frequently for nights out at Gayborhood bars. Memorial cards handed out at his services earlier this week described a number of Reale’s traits — “a people person who always tried to do the right thing. Creative, smooth and classic. A striking presence, flawless appearance and well-tailored look. He had a passion to bring out the underlying beauty in others.” Ian Molish, Reale’s former partner, said his friend was in the ideal career. “He was an artist,” he said. “He could make anyone look great. He had such a talent for making people look good.” In addition to Macy’s, Reale had also worked in make-up departments at Bamberger’s, Wanamaker’s, Hecht’s and Strawbridge’s. Reale’s nameplates from his former employers were on display at his viewing this week.

JOSEPH REALE (CENTER)

Reale’s artistic talents were evidenced in his other hobbies, as he was a skilled drawer and painter, especially spongepaint works. He was also an avid gardener, a craft he inherited from his late father, and a talented singer. Former partner Michael Reale said he will remember his friend most for his gentle and generous nature. “Joe was a very, very kind man, a good man,” he said, noting that, after they separated, Reale became good friends with his current partner. “My current partner and Joe were the best of friends, he was that good of a person. He was just a sweet, kind person.” In addition to a wide circle of friends, Reale is survived by his mother, Frances, whom he cared for and who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. In lieu of flowers and memorial gifts, contributions can be made to his mother’s care through Sweeney Funeral Home, 337 Bridgeboro St., P.O. Box 234, Riverside, N.J. 08075. ■

Media Trail Washington has the votes for gay marriage The Advocate reports Washington now has enough votes to pass a marriage-equality bill in the state Senate, following a state senator’s announcement of her support Jan. 23 after hours of public hearings regarding the measure. Mary Margaret Haugen became the 25th member of the state senate, and the last vote needed to pass the bill, after scores of samesex marriage supporters told their stories in the state capital for more than two hours. The bill, first brought up by Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, is expected to easily pass in the House but was one vote short of passage in the Senate until Haugen announced her support this week. Haugen, a Democrat, cited her “very strong Christian beliefs” as part of the reason she supports marriage equality. Openly gay Sen. Ed Murray, a driving force behind the bill, said he hopes the bill will continue to cross partisan lines and attract the other four remaining members of the senate who have yet to announce their opinion regarding the measure. Of the undecideds, two are Republicans and two are Democrats. Lacey All, chair for Washington United for Marriage, said the senator’s decision was the result of those stories told by LGBT Washingtonians. Washington is poised to become the seventh state in the country, plus the District of Columbia, to allow same-sex marriage.

Couple files adoption suit The Chicago Tribune reports two lesbians who are raising three children filed a lawsuit Jan. 22 to overturn Michigan’s ban on adoption by unmarried couples. April DeBoer, with two adopted children, and Jayne Rowse, with one, are longtime partners and nurses who live together with their kids in suburban Detroit. But under state law, they can’t adopt them as a couple, an option available only to heterosexual married couples. “Jayne and I love our children as deeply as any other parent loves their kids,” DeBoer said in a statement. “We just want our children to have the same protections all other children have so that our kids know they can never be taken from either of us.” The lawsuit filed in federal court in Detroit claims the women’s civil rights are being violated. By adopting as a couple, DeBoer and Rowse would be confident

Philadelphia Gay News www.epgn.com Jan. 27 - Feb. 2, 2012

that the children would be cared for in case of death or another emergency, the lawsuit states. The lawsuit names Gov. Rick Snyder and Attorney Gen. Bill Schuette as defendants.

Mass. celebrates new transgender law The Boston Herald reports transgender people are celebrating a new state law that prohibits discrimination against them in employment, housing, insurance and credit. Gov. Deval Patrick told a crowded Statehouse ceremony on Jan. 19 that he was happy to approve the bill as a “matter of conscience” and to protect the rights and dignity of an estimated 33,000 transgender citizens in Massachusetts. The measure, approved by lawmakers in November, also extends the state’s hatecrime laws to cover transgender people. Attorney General Martha Coakley said her office was ready to enforce the new law, adding she hopes it won’t be necessary. While hailing the law, supporters said they would also continue pushing for equal access in public accommodations. Critics have suggested that might lead to a breakdown in privacy in single-gender facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms.

Md. gov. introduces same-sex marriage bill The Baltimore Sun reports Gov. Martin O’Malley introduced legislation Jan. 23 to legalize same-sex marriage in Maryland, presenting a bill to the General Assembly that aides said would offer broad protections for groups that would not want to perform or honor same-sex marriages. In an informal briefing with reporters, O’Malley said his bill would make religious protections “a little clearer” than they had been in last year’s version of the measure. He said he hoped the changes would lead to “additional support.” The language provided Jan. 23 made a few key changes, according to Raquel Guillory, a spokesperson for O’Malley. She said the bill extended legal protections to leaders of religious groups, while last year’s bill shielded only institutions. O’Malley said he was not sure if the changes would result in more delegates putting their names on the bill. O’Malley last year said he would sign a same-sex marriage bill if it passed the General Assembly, but he did not include such legislation in the administration’s package. This year, he has said he will lead the fight for the bill. Last year, a measure that sought to legalize same-sex marriage in Maryland cleared the state Senate but stalled in the House of Delegates. Leaders pulled the bill from the House floor when they realized they didn’t have the 71 votes needed for passage. ■ — compiled by Larry Nichols

3 convicted of antigay hate crime in Britain Three men were convicted Jan. 20 of distributing antigay leaflets in what prosecutors called a landmark case on the prosecution of hate crimes regarding sexual orientation. A jury found the men to have distributed leaflets calling for homosexuals to face the death penalty. Two others were acquitted of the same charge. “Everyone has a right to be protected by the law and we regard homophobic crimes, along with all hate crimes, as particularly serious because they undermine people’s right to feel safe,” said Sue Hemming, chief of Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service special crime division. She said in a statement that the leaflet showed a mannequin hanging from a noose and said gay people were destined to go to hell. One witness testified he felt he was being targeted and feared he would be burned, Hemming said. Ihjaz Ali, 42; Kabir Ahmed, 28; and Razwan Javed, 27, were found guilty in Derby Crown Court. Sentencing is set for Feb. 10. The men were prosecuted under a relatively new law that took effect in 2010, making it a crime to promote hatred based on sexual orientation.

Costa Rican LGBT-rights activist dies at 42 Abelardo Araya, one of the leading LGBTrights advocates in Latin America, has reportedly died of a heart attack. He was 42. Friends and relatives found Araya dead at his apartment on Jan. 19 after not hearing from him for a couple of days. Police have ruled out foul play and believe he died of a heart attack. Araya had recently spent a few weeks at a local hospital for ailments related to high blood pressure, heart problems and diabetes. Araya developed his thirst for activism while living in Ecuador in the 1990s. When he returned to Costa Rica in 1998, he became coordinator of a program offering support to parents and relatives of gay and lesbian children at the Latin American Health Prevention and Education Institute. He would later launch Movimiento Diversidad (the Diversity Movement), a nonprofit LGBT-rights organization that sought to increase the visibility of the Costa Rican LGBT community and increase its political power.

Marco Castillo, the organization’s attorney and a close friend of Araya, said that while members of the LGBT community already had begun to organize, Araya was the first person in Costa Rica to organize public LGBT conferences and offer invitations to media to cover the events. Araya had last appeared on Telenoticias 7 on Dec. 29 when he announced that members of the LGBT community would provide entertainment to the public during the endof-the-year bullfighting ceremonies, another way that Movimiento Diversidad sought to give the community a public face. One of Araya’s biggest political battles was promoting the legal recognition of same-sex partnership rights. In 2006, several legislative leaders sought his counsel in authoring a bill that would make civil unions legal for same-sex couples in Costa Rica. Several versions of the bill have been drafted but so far have failed to get much traction.

Ecuador appoints lesbian to cabinet A woman who led the charge to shut down clinics in Ecuador that promised to help “cure” homosexuality has been appointed the head of the South American country’s health ministry. To continue his pro-gay record, President Rafael Correa has announced that Carina Vance Mafla would join his cabinet as health minister. The previous health minister stepped down after it was clear that he was unable to solve the problems of the country’s troubled national health-care system. Officials with the LGBT organization Equal Rights Now (Igualdad de Derechos Ya!) commended Mafla’s appointment and said they hoped she would “pay attention to the distribution of HIV medications, create guidelines to prevent discrimination against LGBT individuals at hospitals and health centers and take action on shutting down illegal religious ‘clinics’ that promote ‘cures’ for homosexuality.” A network consisting of nearly 200 illegal so-called reparative therapy clinics was uncovered four years ago. Thirty were shut down by Correa’s government in September 2011 after pressure from activists including Mafla, and from Change.org and AllOut.org petitions directed at former health minister David Chiriboga Allnutt.

Ex-S. African pol: Ugandan bill daft The former president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, has criticized Uganda’s infamous antigay bill, saying it “doesn’t make sense” to intervene. Mbeki was taking questions at the Makerere Institute of Social Research in Kampala when he was asked about the draft legislation and, specifically, what he would say to its sponsor, the Daily Monitor reported.

NEWS PGN

The bill, introduced by MP David Bahati in 2009, was designed to strengthen Uganda’s already-harsh laws against homosexuality but was indefinitely dropped by lawmakers. In response to the question, Mbeki, who served as deputy president and president of South Africa following the abolition of apartheid, said: “I would say to the MP: Sexual preferences are a private matter. I don’t think it is a matter of the state to intervene. I mean what would you want? It doesn’t make sense at all. That is what I would say to the MP. What two consenting adults do is really not the matter of law.” Bahati said in response: “His excellency needs to read the bill and understand the spirit in which it was brought and the context in which we are talking about.” Clauses called for the death penalty for “aggravated” homosexuality, the offense of continuing to commit gay acts after one conviction. Those who fail to report gay incidents to police would be jailed. The bill received worldwide condemnation from countries, gay-rights advocates and human-rights groups. It languished after failing to be debated in early 2011, but was set to be revisited in the current legislative session.

Attack prompts call for hate-crime law An attack in Malta that left a 16-year-old lesbian with a fractured nose has prompted calls for the government to introduce hatecrime legislation to protect gays. The girl, referred to as Amy, said was sitting with her girlfriend on a park bench in the town of Hamrun when two young men attacked her. She said the men had called her and her girlfriend “twisted” before attacking them, leaving her with bruises and facial injuries. She said: “It was a horrible experience ... All of a sudden one of the boys picked me up and punched me in my eye ... He grabbed my breasts then head-butted my nose and threw me onto the ground, grabbed my hair and pulled me across the ground.” Two brothers have been arrested in connection with the incident. Maltese LGBT-rights advocates have

pointed out that Malta has no hate-crime legislation covering antigay attacks. The Malta Gay Rights Movement and Aditus, a human-rights organization, said in a statement: “In many countries, such an assault would be investigated as a hate crime but Malta has yet to extend hate crime legislation to include the grounds of homophobia and transphobia.” They added: “Trust in the police force is an essential factor in encouraging and enabling LGBT victims to come forward and report such crimes. For this reason, how the police react to this assault also has an effect on the reporting of other similar incidents. We therefore hope that charges will be brought against the perpetrators and that the assault is treated with the seriousness it deserves.” A spokesperson for Malta Gay Rights Movement said a 2003 study showed one in every 10 gay people on the islands are subjected to some form of violence because of his/her sexual orientation.

Colombian capital gets first trans public official Gustavo Petro, the mayor of Bogota, Colombia, has appointed the capital city’s first transgender public official. Tatiana Piñero will be the director of corporate management in the city’s Social Integration Department, working to guarantee Bogota’s citizens “the ability to exercise their rights, in conditions of equality.” Piñero praised Mayor Petro’s support of LGBT issues, calling him a “person who recognizes diversity, who respects and values people for their work, and not whether they are African, LGBT or indigenous.” For the past 13 years, Piñero has managed public resources at both the district and national levels.

and the director of the National Sex Education Centre, said Cuban Justice Minister Maria Esther Reus announced that it would be discussed in the assembly, and is on the agenda for 2012. “I am confident that the party conference [this month] will help explicitly define a policy that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, which in turn will help to dismantle prejudices that hinder its adoption,” she said. Castro made her comments when she was asked about the draft bill that seeks to modify the Cuban Family Code to legalize same-sex unions. She also stated on her blog that Cuba must facilitate “cultural changes” in society

to achieve “full justice” for LGBT people through educational and social programs and communication. Cuba’s Communist Party will gather on Jan. 28 for its first National Conference, where the legislative reform will be put to a vote. Mariela Castro, a sexologist, is famous in Cuba for her stance on full legal equality for LGBT people. Gay Pride parades are now happening regularly in Cuba, and the government recently started an anti-homophobia campaign. In 2008, the Cuban government approved state-sponsored sex-change operations for transgender people by ministerial decree. ■ — compiled by Larry Nichols

Joe Solmonese, president of Human Rights Campaign, welcomed the news. “We congratulate Bruce Harris on his nomination to the highest court in New Jersey and applaud Gov.

While Goldstein praised Christie for the nomination — and for his willingness to work with the LGBT community on other issues — he did note that this latest development likely hasn’t swayed the governor’s stance on the proposed marriage-equality bill, which Christie has pledged to veto. “I recognize, and caution everyone, that it would be unwise to read any change here in the governor’s position on marriage equality; he has said in past months and years that he would veto the bill, and we take him at his word,” Goldstein said. “But, right now, that doesn’t mean we should not give credit where credit is due.

Pushing 19th-century gender boundaries By Gary M. Kramer PGN Contributor

“Albert Nobbs” gives actor Glenn Close — who also produced, co-wrote the screenplay and penned the closing song lyrics — a plum part as a woman who poses as a male butler in 19th-century Ireland. The story, which addresses gender roles of the Victorian era, is a pet project for Close. She won an Obie in 1982 for her performance as Nobbs in a stage version of George Moore’s short story. Close and Janet McTeer received Oscar nominations this week for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively. In a recent phone interview, Close paused to give her dog Bill, a mutt, a treat so she could talk about “Albert Nobbs.” Although the character was familiar to the actor, becoming the reserved Albert Nobbs provided a welcome change of pace after playing several over-the-top characters, ranging from Patty Hewes on TV’s “Damages” to Cruella de Vil in “101 Dalmatians,” and even Alex Forrest in “Fatal Attraction.” “Yeah, it was wonderful, really wonderful, to play Albert after doing Cruella and Patty,” Close recalled with a laugh. “I’ve had a run of really strong and really ‘out there’ women, so to go to someone very internal, it was a great challenge — very

fulfilling.” And the actor insisted that despite outward appearances, Albert Nobbs is a “she.” “I never think of Nobbs as a ‘he,’” Close said adamantly. “She puts on a disguise and looks out at the world with downcast eyes. Servants were not supposed to look people in the eye. They were supposed to face the wall when people passed by.” Albert’s reaction shots, as well as “her” look and voice, are the key to what makes Close’s performance so noteworthy. In one memorable scene, she appears wide-eyed when a stranger, Hubert Page (McTeer), with whom Albert shares a bed one night, reveals her breasts. Hubert illustrates that she is practicing the same gender deception as Nobbs, and the two women soon become friends. Other private moments feature Albert silently observing guests in the hotel hallways or during a costume party. At the mention of this latter scene, Close interjected to recount one of her favorite moments in the film, when the hotel doctor (played by Brendan Gleeson) says to her, “We’re disguised as ourselves.” “Little does he know!” Close says, with a laugh. She revealed that her inspiration for the character’s comportment and movement were based on Charlie Chaplin. “He’s of the human comedy, and there

should be aspects of comedy and sadness [to Nobbs]. His shoes are always too big and heavy, and his pants too long. That aspect is unconsciously comic. I was always very influenced by Laurel and Hardy and Emmett Kelly, that comic clown with Ringling Bros. Circus, when I was growing up.” As for Nobbs’ deep male voice, Close learned to develop her lower register by

working with a voice and dialect coach. She reflected back on something her William and Mary theater professor, Howard Scammon, taught her: “You can have as great a speaking range as you do a singing range.” She added, “But that’s tricky,” and indicated that she received notes from her coach about dialect and tone to make sure PAGE 24 she was consistently

at the right level. Tone is an important element in “Albert Nobbs.” The film, directed by Rodrigo Garcia (who has worked with Close twice before, on “Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her” and “Nine Lives”), is shot in a lovely, burnished style. There are brief flights of fantasy, along with serious episodes, as when an epidemic takes over the hotel. However, most of the drama stems from Nobbs hiding both her female identity and a cache of money she keeps concealed in her floorboards. A storyline has Joe (Aaron Johnson), an unemployed young man finagling a job at the hotel. He soon prompts his girlfriend Helen (Mia Wasikowska), a maid, to “walk out” with Albert to secure some of Albert’s money. Albert, however, is oblivious to the deception. She sees Helen as a potential partner for the tobacco shop she hopes to open. “Albert starts this dream of finding someone who can help her have a business with insufficient information,” Close explained about the subplot. “She’s lived in hotels

since she was 14 and doesn’t know anything. She models herself as the perfect Victorian gentleman, and tries to present herself as that, with her formal hat and umbrella. She knows nothing of human contact and intimacy. Albert is naïve. She’s not looking out with a furrowed brow, but with an ‘unknowingness.’” Albert’s naïveté is also evident in how she develops in her relationship with Hubert. Albert observes the closeness Hubert shares with her wife, Cathleen (Bronagh Gallagher), with a curious eye. In one scene, Albert wonders aloud if Hubert told Cathleen she was a woman before or after their wedding. Close offered this insight about the character’s perspective: “She’s worked for 30 years, and you think she would know more, but she doesn’t want to know more. It would jeopardize her secret. She tells Hubert she moved around — which is taken directly from the original story — because she was afraid of being found out.” While Albert and Hubert are both prac-

ticing deception, Joe is also passing himself off as someone he is not — pretending to be a boiler’s apprentice to get a job at the hotel. His interactions with the staff form the love triangle, which comes to a critical head. “I think Joe has an unbearable life,” Close acknowledged about the film’s key male character. “He is someone who is illiterate, and from an abusive background, with a vicious father.

Strong performances in ‘Nobbs’ compensate for narrative flaws The handsome period film “Albert Nobbs” opens with Albert (Glenn Close), a butler, seen from behind. He attends to his duties at Dublin’s Morrison hotel, where he is valued for his discretion. He practically makes himself invisible in the hallway when guests are acting wildly in front of him. Hiding is what Albert does best. “He” is disguising his gender — Albert is, in fact, female — to find steady work. Albert’s secret identity is discovered by a painter named Hubert Page (Janet McTeer), who stays overnight at the hotel. After learning of Albert’s female identity, Page agrees not to divulge his secret because “he” is employing the same gender deception. Meanwhile, Joe (Aaron Johnson), a strapping young man, dubiously lands a job at the hotel. He romances Helen (Mia Wasikowska), a comely young maid. Joe urges Helen to accept Albert’s invitation to “walk out” with him to secure some of Albert’s money. Albert, however, hopes his relationship with Helen will lead to her working in the shop Albert hopes to open. Oddly, and somewhat disappointingly, the film makes Albert’s interest in Helen less believable than her friendship with Hubert, who becomes Albert’s confidante and role model. “Albert Nobbs” makes the gender-equality issues interesting, but too much time is spent on

Albert’s wooing Helen. Her relationship with Hubert is much more exciting. An amusing scene, featuring both Albert and Hubert wearing dresses and running on a beach, shows the strong(er) bond between women-posing-as-men. The film also curiously addresses how these women — who transform their identities, often as a result of male abuse — work very hard to maintain their “male” identity and privilege. Their experiences are contrasted with two gaymale hotel guests who briefly, discreetly, share a secret intimacy. Although these episodes magnify the film’s points about queer sexuality and the perils of repression, they are erratically presented. The strong performances compensate for the film’s narrative flaws. Watching the tightly wound Close not express herself is where her performance is best. As Hubert, McTeer is fantastic, stealing every scene with her vigorous performance. It is actually more interesting to watch Hubert try to figure out Albert than watching Albert work out what makes Hubert tick. “Albert Nobbs” ends with an unexpectedly touching and suitable coda — one that conveys the messages on gender and power the film has expressed all along. However, by the time Hubert instructs Albert to “be who you are,” it feels like overkill. ■ — Gary M. Kramer

Suzi Nash

Michael Shelton: Sex, secrets and scandals I can resist anything but temptation. — Oscar Wilde, “Lady Windermere’s Fan” If there’s anyone who knows anything about temptation, obsessions and compulsions, it’s Michael Shelton, author of several books, including “Gay Men and Substance Abuse,” a self-help book for men with substance-abuse problems, and “Boy Crazy,” an examination of gay-male monogamy. He is Psychology Today’s expert on male sex and sexuality. His book “Secret Encounters” remains the only published book on the topic of sexual victimization in youth programs, and has received renewed interest in the aftermath of the Penn State scandal. Shelton has also served as camp director for Mountain Meadow, a camp for children of LGBT parents based in southern New Jersey. One of the few professionals in the country specializing in gay-male sex offenders, he is also a busy clinician working at several facilities in Philadelphia. A surprisingly light-hearted fellow, considering the weighty topics he deals with, the prolific writer spoke and laughed about his journey. PGN: Tell me about Michael Shelton. MS: I’m Philadelphia-born and raised and I have a younger sister. My mother was a homemaker and my father was an electrician. I’ve always loved writing; in fact my mother jests that I when I parted the womb, I had a pencil and paper in hand. PGN: Other than English, what was a favorite class? MS: Geez, I wish I had one, but it was always English for me. Other than that, I was not a happy student. PGN: Your first story? MS: I don’t remember exactly what it was about, but it was probably in the horror genre. I loved horror movies and was always writing scary little screenplays. The first book I remember reading was the novelization of “Night of the Living Dead.” Not sure what to think of that — not your typical toddler fare — but at least I was reading at a young age! PGN: Which family members had the greatest influence on you? MS: Three of my aunts — Alva, Betty and Lois — supported my writing from the time I was young. As soon as I entered their homes, they were ready with paper, pencil and the directive to “write a story.” Thinking back, it kept me occupied and out of trouble and their fawning over my juvenile efforts offered me lots of positive reinforcement. PGN: What were some of your extracurricular activities?

MS: Still writing! [Laughs.] I was in the honors writing class. I wish I could give you a much more colorful or dramatic childhood, but it was pretty straightforward.

Unfortunately, when they’re coming in for counseling, it’s when they’re having problems, which is the worst time to try to open a relationship. It has to be steady and secure before even thinking about it.

PGN: Where did you go to school? MS: Hahnemann University, which was an incredible school. My senior year I did an internship and, in the middle of it, the program I was working with closed down. I was desperate to get another internship so I could graduate on time, and I hooked up with the Joseph J. Peters Institute in a program treating men who had been arrested or imprisoned for their sexual-behavior problems. I fell in love with the study and my life took a whole new direction.

PGN: You’ve been contacted about the Penn State scandal. Why is that? MS: I wrote the first book written about sexual activity in youth programs back in 2003; it’s called “Secret Encounters.” Because of the scandals at both Penn State and Syracuse, it has suddenly found a new audience.

PGN: What did you think you were going to do? MS: Chemical-dependency treatment, which I still do as well. I’m certified by the state, but I balance between writing, sexual-behavior problems and chemicaldependency work. Until that internship, it never would have occurred to me to work with men and sexual behavior. But I found the protocol for sexual-abuse treatment similar to the protocol for alcohol or drug abuse. Fortunately, they hired me when the internship was done. PGN: How did you get to be Psychology Today’s expert on male sex and sexuality? MS: Well, I’d written a few articles for them and they asked if I wanted to take on the mantle, so I said, “Hey, why not?” PGN: So, how to phrase this delicately ... What’s wrong with men? MS: [Laughs.] I don’t think there is a delicate way to phrase that. PGN: You look at guys like John Edwards, Mark Sanford and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods, Hugh Grant and Jude Law and think, Why can’t they keep it in their shorts? MS: Well, all I can say is that there are many men out there who are faithful and what you see in the news is a select group. PGN: I remember Oprah once asking a gay activist why it seemed gay men were so oversexed and promiscuous and he responded that all men have that proclivity, it’s just that straight guys have women to dampen it! MS: Correct. There is truth to that! But again, there are plenty of good, faithful men both gay and straight. PGN: What’s a random piece of advice? MS: The fourth book I wrote was called “Boy Crazy,” and it’s about gay men and monogamy. So I get a lot of gay couples coming in to ask about open relationships.

All the hoopla about background checks is fine, I applaud it, but remember the majority of the perpetrators are not going to be found in the system. They haven’t been, and probably won’t, get caught.

PGN: What are two things groups can do? MS: First, we have to realize that a program director can only be in one place at one time. Take a residential summer camp: The camp director has 80 acres and 60 PGN: What are some of the problems? staff members and 300 campers that he or MS: You don’t know who you’re hiring. she is overseeing while at the same time Most predators have not been caught so being in charge of all the organizational they can easily get through our wonderful things like ordering equipment, handling background checks and clearances.

I’ve learned ing sure all the staff are following the rules through personal experience in hiring and and are where they’re supposed to be at administrative programs that we need a any given time? Not very much, so the first much more comprehensive approach to step for any youth program is to train the front-line staff and make sure they’re invested in this. Most youth program staff members are typically between 18-22 [years old] and might not be even aware of the signs or what to do. Most of them are hard-pressed to believe that one of their friends or someone they know could be capable of molesting a child. So we have to open their eyes and say, “I don’t care how close you are to the person, if you see something suspicious you need to report it.” That was part of the problem with the Sandusky case: People saw things but couldn’t believe it actually was happening. The other thing you need to do is get the parents invested. They really need to talk with their kids before they go away about what is OK touch and what is not OK.

Follies organizes Marriage Equality benefit By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com

Love Lust Valentine’s Day is the annual day of love — a time for dinner, ﬂowers, chocolate, candlelight, gifts and ever ything else sexy and romantic! Be part of our Feb. 10 Love & Lust Issue and help our Philly lovebirds have a great Valentine’s Day!

The Five Minute Follies is uniting a wide range of performers for “The Marriage Equality Cabaret,” a benefit show for Freedom to Marry, Feb. 4 at The Rotunda. The show is the brainchild of actor, show organizer and emcee Michael Subvert (aka Michael Broussard). “It’s something I had been thinking about for a long time,” Subvert said. “I’m very much of an activist mindset and I think marriage equality is probably the most important human-rights issue going on in the country right now. I wanted to do something to help and I figured the best way I could help would be to use the talents I have, which is emceeing and producing variety shows, to raise money and give it to the people who know what to do to really help.” To that end, Five Minute Follies has put together a bill of performers from in and outside of the LGBT community, including Brotherly Love, a small ensemble of the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus; comedian Robb Coles; Philadelphia singer-songwriter Crystal Cheatham; singing duo The Lords of Liechtenstein; comedian Jess Carpenter;

local government issue,” Subvert said. “I think there’s a lot of local state organizations that are doing a great job, but we really need to look at approaching this from a national perspective. The issue of your rights as an American citizen shouldn’t be something that changes from state to state. You should have the same rights in Alabama as you have in Pennsylvania. As you cross borders, your marriage shouldn’t become irrelevant. That’s absurd. I also think that the Obama administration needs to approach this and make some very public statement about it and approach this as a national issue and a human-rights issue and deal with it.” Subvert added that while the issue of marriage equality is a serious one, the benefit show itself is going to be fun. “It’s not preachy,” he said. “It’s not lots of speeches about the issue. We’re certainly going to talk about the issue but we’re here to entertain and, through the entertainment,

singer Nathan Nolen Edwards and much more. “Some of the performers I already knew from previous shows,” he said. “A lot of them came through casting notices. Some are from the LGBT community and some are just people who care and want to support the issue. People were very excited about the idea of the show, so it wasn’t difficult to get people at all.” The are several organizations campaigning for marriage equality, but Subvert said Freedom to Marry is the ideal organization to support because it addresses the issue on a national level. “The reason I picked them over any other organization is because I consider marriage equality to be a national issue, not just a

Everybody has something to say.” “The Marriage Equality Cabaret” will be presented 8 p.m. Feb. 4 at The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut St. The cabaret is still seeking variety performers with something positive to say about marriage equality and who are willing to donate their talents. Singers, dancers, comics, magicians, improv groups, clowns, sideshow acts, storytellers and especially unusual and hardto-classify acts are welcome to inquire. To be considered, email video or audio of your act to michaelsubvert@msn.com. For more information about the Marriage Equality Cabaret, visit fiveminutefollies.com. ■

Cooper’s wines and dines in Manayunk By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com We have got to stop going to Manayunk, lest we fully give in to the charm of shiny rehabbed gentrification and move there. Strategically placed on Manayunk’s main drag, Cooper’s Wine Bar, 4365 Main St., is an almostalter-ego-like expansion of Jake’s Restaurant, which has been an area favorite since 1987. The establishments share a wall, a kitchen and chef Bruce Cooper, but Cooper’s exudes a more dimly lit, upscale charm compared to the bright, local artsheavy décor of Jake’s. And the menu does all it can to carry out that vision. First off, know that Cooper’s is serious about its wines: For every dish, there’s a first, second and third wine recommendation to accompany it, and staff will regale you about the origins of said wines if you are inclined to inquire. Given that the space lends itself well to intimate conversation, it’s no surprise that the small plates were, for the most part, something to talk about — finely crafted comforting dishes, even if at times they exercised a certain amount of restraint when they could have gone over the top. It’s easy to see why the lobster potato perogies ($12) are a house favor-

ite, delightfully crispy and savory. We expected the lobster to dominate, given how well the caramelized onion and brown butter sauce married themselves with the star of the dish, and we can’t argue with the results. The tuna tartare ($16) had some pleasantly unexpected flavors thanks to the inclusion of grapefruit and potato gaufrette. The portobello mushroom soup ($8) was hearty and satisfying. The grilled hangar steak ($14) brought the most thunder in the flavor department with a lovely chimichuri and safrito sauce. The only dish that truly fell short of expectations on the small-plates menu was the shrimp spring rolls ($12), which is a serious letdown considering how much people love shrimp and egg rolls. Marrying the two should be the easiest thing in the world, right? But once you got past the diabolically hot (ouch!) and crispy coating, it was soggy and unremarkable on the inside. We appreciated the sauces on the dish, a choice of either blackberry or apricot, but otherwise we felt like we could get better results from a street vendor for half the price. Things quickly got back on track when we sampled one of Cooper’s fine pizzas. The portobello mushroom and shallot pizza ($16) was thin and crispy with just

enough goat cheese, truffle oil and thyme to make it sing with flavor. (That’s saying something, considering how bored we have become with mushrooms of late.) Now we kind of want to go back and try all of their pizzas. Damn! The entrée dishes were solid as well. The panseared sea scallops ($26) were perfect, with welcome textures and flavors provided by red quinoa, shaved Brussels sprouts, apple, butternut squash and a cranberry gastrique. Cooper’s dessert menu obliterated our resolve to keep our New Year’s resolution, hitting us with our personal sweet kryptonite, key lime pie ($8). It would have been enough on its own, but the raspberryginger whipped cream and

crème anglaise really put it over the top. What’s worse (for our resolution), there were at least three or four other equally fun-sounding dessert items we would have been happy to try if key lime pie wasn’t in the equation. All in all, Cooper’s is a solid companion to Jake’s, and offers chef Cooper more opportunities to show off his widening range of skills. ■

PGN PROFILE PORTRAIT from page 25

with at least one of them, some unfortunate people with all three. Pornography. A lot of gay men think of it as a neutral influence, but we’re seeing more and more that it can be a negative influence on a relationship. And that’s not just for gay men. Substance abuse in our community is another big problem. Monogamy is the last issue. I find that many men after five years decide to open up their relationships and that can be really tricky to do. There’s a right way and right time and a wrong way and wrong time. PGN: And are you in a relationship? MS: Yes, I am. For 20 years! His name is Donald. PGN: And what does he do? MS: He was a teacher. We have quite a history. Ten years into our relationship, he was struck by a car that was involved in a police chase. His brother was killed and Donald suffered traumatic brain injury. So he went instantly from being a teacher to being unable to work due to his cognitive deficits. Thank God his personality stayed the same, but I went from being a partner to a caretaker for many years. Now he’s back on his feet, but the cognitive problems will be there forever. It’s been very interesting: Our lives are separated by the first 10 years and then everything after that. Which segues a little into something else I’ve been working on. For the two years we were going through rehab, the people couldn’t have been nicer or treated us with more respect, but nobody — nobody — mentioned our sex life. I assumed that maybe it was because they were uncomfortable because we were two men. But it always stayed in the back of my mind and years later, I started getting referrals for men coming home from the military. I did a little research and found that it wasn’t just us — that across the board, people don’t want to talk to disabled people about their sex lives. What happens when someone is mentally or physically disabled and how it affects their sex life is just an unspoken topic. But it really impacts their lives, especially since so many of the men coming home injured from war are young men. I’m working on a whole new series for Psychology Today about it. PGN: And when did you come out? MS: My coming-out story — well, I was a peripatetic young man. I left Philadelphia in 1986 to live in a commune in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia ... PGN: Wow, I haven’t heard that term for a while. MS: Yes, I lived there for a year with men and women from all over the world, particularly western Europeans. Gays and lesbians were replete there, so coming out was a non-event. After that, I did some globetrotting and then a year of volunteer work in California and Minnesota. By the time I returned to Philadelphia in my mid20s, I was out and haven’t looked back.

PGN: Some random questions ... Movie that makes you cry? MS: Well, moviegoing for me is not just a hobby, it’s an obsession. [Laughs.] If I don’t go to two to three movies a week, I go through withdrawal. And I don’t mean cheating and watching movies at home, I mean seeing them on the big screen in a theater. I’m a big sop, so I tear up very easily. We just went to see “Iron Lady” with Meryl Streep and I cried at that! PGN: So since you’re a film buff, favorite line or scene from a movie? MS: There is one particular scene in a movie that changed my entire perspective on film. In 1980, my friend and I waited outside the Orleans Eight movie theater until we spotted a seemingly pleasant older couple. We asked them to lie and pretend we were their children because the movie was rated R and we couldn’t buy our own tickets. They did, and we sat down for a matinee showing of “Dressed to Kill.” About 15 minutes into the film, a scene occurs in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art — by the way, it was actually filmed in the Philadelphia Museum of Art — in which Angie Dickinson plays a seductive game of cat-and-mouse with an enticing stranger throughout its hallways and passages. It’s a seven-minute scene without any dialogue. It was the first time I encountered film as an aesthetic medium. Thirty years later, I can still watch that scene and be mesmerized by it. PGN: Name a turning point in your life. MS: Five days after Donald’s accident, the doctor told me I should spend the night at the hospital because Donald wouldn’t make it through the night. He was wrong of course; we made it through that night and, 10 years later, Donald is still with us! PGN: What’s next? MS: I’ve been working with a lot of gay and lesbian parents. Because of the new conservative wave in the country, a lot of gay families are experiencing serious backlash. Here, we have supportive groups like Mountain Meadow, etc., but in the heartland, especially in the Bible Belt, it can be scary. I couldn’t imagine living like some of them have to do. Because many of the couples can’t be out, they have to collude with the children to hide the relationship. It sets up perilous dynamics. I had one lesbian couple, raising children, who have been together for 18 years and the son, who is now a teenager, is coming out as gay. The couple was terrified that their cover was going to be blown and they basically told the son, you need to stay in the closet for the sake and safety of the family. It’s been a real eye-opener for me. So that’s my latest book that I’m working on, “Family Pride: LGBT Families Thriving in Isolated, Unwelcoming and even Hostile Communities.” Look for it this summer! ■ To suggest a community member for “Family Portrait,” write to portraits05@aol.com.

SHERIFF'S SALE Properties to be sold by Jewell Williams, Sheriff on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, at 10:00 AM. (EST) Conditions of Sheriff’s Sale for JUDICIAL/FORECLOSURE SALE Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be immediately offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price. Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff. The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale. The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be a sum sufficient to pay all Sheriff’s costs including advertising, all taxes, water rents and municipal claims due to the City of Philadelphia. If there is no other bid price above the opening bid price, the property shall be sold by the auctioneer to the attorney on the writ at that price. The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly. No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of cash, certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County. The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudulent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the

SHERIFF'S SALE Sheriff Sale. 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. Prospective purchasers are directed to the Web site of the Philadelphia Bureau of Revision of Taxes, (BRT) “brtweb.phila.gov” for a fuller description of the properties listed. Properties can be looked up by the BRT number – which should be cross checked with the address. Prospective purchasers are also directed to the Room 154 City Hall, 215-686-1483 and to its website "philadox.phila.gov" and to its website at http://philadox.phila.gov where they can view the deed to each individual property and find the boundaries of the property. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE NATURE, LOCATION, CONDITION AND BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTIES THEY SEEK TO PURCHASE. The “BRT #” refers to a unique number assigned by the City Bureau of Revision of Taxes to each property in the City for the purpose of assessing it for taxes. This number can be used to obtain descriptive information about the property from the BRT website. Effective Date: July 7, 2006 NOTICE OF SCHEDULE OF DISTRIBUTION The Sheriff will file in his office, The Land Title Building, 100 South Broad Street, 5th Floor, a Schedule of Distribution Thirty (30) Days from the date of Real Estate sold on Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Distribution will be made in accordance with the Schedule unless exceptions are filed thereto within ten (10) days thereafter. N.B. - For the benefit of our nonprofessional readers who do not understand the meaning of the letters and figures following the defendant’s names, we make the following. EXPLANATION The name first appearing in each notice is that of the defendant in the writ whose property is being sold. All Writs are Writs of Executions. The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ.
