Gay attorney sues law firm

By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Alfred W. Zaher, a longtime partner at the Blank Rome law firm, filed suit last week, alleging he was pressured to leave the firm due to its homophobic work environment.

Zaher was a partner at Blank Rome between 2006-14, specializing in intellectual-property rights. The firm, which is headquartered in Center City, has about 540 attorneys serving clients throughout the world.

In a 25-page complaint, Zaher claims his days at the firm became numbered after he organized an LGBT-equity event attended by 70 attorneys at the firm’s Center City office.

The event allegedly wasn’t appreciated

by Blank Rome chairman and managing partner Alan J. Hoffman. “[B]ased upon his apparent disdain for Zaher’s open advocacy for gay rights in the legal community, Hoffman often made unfounded and disrespectful comments in open meetings of firm attorneys, dispar-

aging Zaher’s mannerisms and dress, and Hoffman displayed strong discontent and disapproval when Zaher organized and held a meeting of approximately 70 LGBT attorneys,” the complaint alleges.

After the LGBT event, things went decidedly south for Zaher, the suit states.

Two Blank Rome attorneys participated in a scheme to “steal” Zaher’s clients by conveying that Zaher had “ethical issues” and intended to leave the firm, according to Zaher’s complaint.

Attorneys Timothy D. Pescanye and Matthew A. Homyk are named as defendants in Zaher’s complaint, along with Hoffman.

Zaher maintains he had no intention of leaving the firm when misinformation about his supposed departure was conveyed to clients.

During his eight years at Blank Rome, Zaher attracted numerous clients and amassed considerable wealth for the firm, according to his complaint.

Zaher voluntarily left the firm in July 2014 due to its allegedly hostile work environment and curPAGE 9

The silence was nearly deafening — punctuated by Kathryn Knott’s quiet crying into a tissue, picked up by a microphone at the defense table — as the several-dozen assembled in Courtroom 304 of the Criminal Justice Center Monday afternoon waited for Common Pleas Judge Roxanne Covington to speak.

After several painstaking minutes, Covington looked up.

“You can’t unring a bell that has been rung,” she said slowly, adding after another pause, “If you put a nail in a wall, there remains a hole. That’s what happened in this incident.”

Covington said sentencing guidelines require her to consider the defendant’s history, character and if there is an understanding of the gravity of the crimes committed, the latter of which proved to be a sticking point for the judge.

“There is a lack of appreciation for the seriousness of this crime,” she said, looking at Knott.

The judge proceeded to sentence Knott to five-10 months in prison: one-two months each for simple assault and conspiracy to commit simple assault, and three-six months for reckless endangerment.

After the first sentence, Knott covered her mouth and slumped forward, visibly shaking. Her mother, Carol Knott, attempted to approach the defense table to comfort her as the judge continued reading the sentence, but was held back by sheriffs.

Four sheriffs lined the wall during the proceeding, customary during a sentencing hearing that could result in an immediate prison sentence.

Knott’s attorney, Louis Busico, asked the judge to allow Knott to report to prison at a later date, a request the PAGE 12

Public defenders sought in Gayborhood murder case

By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com The 27-year-old homeless man accused of killing a psychiatrist in a Gayborhood hotel may have two public defenders representing him at his next court appearance.

Manuel Baez currently is retaining private-practice attorney Paul Michael Dimaio, according to court records. It’s not clear what motivated the

change in representation. Dimaio did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Philadelphia Municipal Judge David C. Shuter presided over a Feb. 10 preliminary hearing for Baez, which was ultimately continued.

Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore asked for a Feb. 16 status hearing to assure public defenders could be appointed. She recommended Francis Carmen and Susan Ricci because they had previously worked with Baez, whose last known address was in Bethlehem.

Trans woman of color to deliver keynote at youth conference

By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com A formerly incarcerated black transgender activist will serve as keynote speaker for the fifth-annual Pennsylvania Youth Action Conference, the Pennsylvania Youth Congress announced Feb. 9.

Known in the community as “Mama,” Miss Major GriffinGracy participated in the Stonewall Rebellion and came out of Attica State Prison. She has fought for the rights of trans women of color for more than 40 years.

Miss Major is the first black keynote speaker for the conference and the third trans woman.

“She is a national treasure and an icon,” said Jason Landau Goodman, PYC executive director. “Certainly, she represents the values that we are fighting for in terms of holding up those who can be invisible or voiceless.”

The conference takes place April 8-10 at the University of Pennsylvania. Registration costs $35.

Miss Major was featured in a documentary about her activism, which came out in November coinciding with her retirement from the San Francisco-based Transgender Gender Variant Intersex Justice Project. A screening of “Major!” will take place immediately after the opening plenary.

Landau Goodman said Miss Major would also help young activists put their work in perspective.

“We very much cherish the relationships young activists and older activists have and should cultivate,” he said. “Having the elder perspective is important for us to understand the long-term effects of violence in community safety work.”

The conference will cover the future of community safety and its intersection with LGBT Pennsylvania, including topics from violence experienced by transgender individuals to criminal-justice reform.

“We are certainly prioritizing intersectionality and allyship with the Black Lives Matter movement,” Landau Goodman said.

“Absolutely, this has come increasingly to the forefront of the national spotlight. We’re looking forward to what we can do now.

We want to identify what we can do now as young people to affect change.”

‘Seven Deadly Sins’ theme slated for Attic fundraiser

By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com

ership initiatives at The Attic Youth Center, said Alyssa Mutryn, director of development.

“It’s our biggest show yet,” said Grishow-Schade, who said when they started three years ago there were 14 performers. “This has now become a two-act, 95-minute opus to young queer drag.”

“There are a few cornerstones we have that just keep growing and growing,” they said. “Drag, for me, it’s surprising that it’s still growing. I would’ve thought it would’ve hit its peak by now, that people are over ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ and things.”

Part of the reason the form stays fresh at The Attic comes from Grishow-Schade’s approach. The idea is that drag doesn’t

The Attic youth made a runway in less than a minute Tuesday night. Program specialist Loran Grishow-Schade sat crosslegged at one end with a smart phone, waiting to record a half-dozen queens who hadn’t yet received final critiques on their drag performances.

When “Collard Greens and Cornbread” by “American Idol” winner Fantasia started streaming, the youth who’s performing as Treyannah West crossed her arms over her chest, then sashayed down the runway with a foam plate in hand. She deposited the plate pointedly in the laps of several audience members and crawled through some choreography on the floor. Snaps filled the room at the end.

West is one of 19 young people who will perform in the sixth-annual drag show fundraiser called “Sweethearts and Red Hots” in honor of Valentine’s Day. It takes place 6 p.m.

Feb. 19 in the ballroom of the William Way LGBT Community Center, 1315 Spruce St. The theme is “Seven Deadly Sins.”

Tickets cost $10 in advance, $15 at the door, $20 for VIP front-row seats TREYANNAH WEST PERFORMS DURING A RECENT or $5 for those under 23. The “SWEETHEARTS AND RED HOTS” REHEARSAL money supports youth-leadPhoto: Paige Cooperstein

just have to be one gender dressing up as another. In the nine months they spend preparing for the show, they all talk about the ways in which drag can be problematic, dealing with issues of sexism, misogyny and misogynoir.

As Dalyla Mizani, youth director of the show, pointed out: “We’re all talent of color.”

Grishow-Schade noted that this year boasts a lot of younger queens who are finding their footing in drag.

“It’s unique in terms of what professional drag or the drag in the bar scene offers,” Mutryn said. “A lot of our youth can’t go to that anyway because they aren’t 21. It gives people an opportunity to view drag in a different way.”

“It’s cool because you see youth who are shy or not that outspoken,” she continued, “and then they do drag and you can tell they change. So it’s about drag, but it’s also about life and confidence.”

At Tuesday’s rehearsal, the youth offered each other practical tips, like: removing a jacket should be done just off stage so the performer won’t slip on it; and performers shouldn’t spend too much time low to the floor because people in the back won’t be able to see.

After rehearsal, Mizani announced the roles in the finale, which will be a surprise to the audience. But she did reveal the full complement of queens will participate.

“I’m excited for people to see what they all bring,” she said. “Even though we have a theme, there’s a lot of different drag within this group.” n

40 years ago in PGN Committee formed to advocate local gay rights bill Adapted from reporting by Harry Langhorne After forming in December 1975, the Committee for a Gay Rights Bill began dividing advocacy responsibilities early in the new year. The group was pushing Philadelphia City Council to adopt a gayrights bill in 1976, after one was defeated the previous year.

Pam Hitchcock led recruiting and organizing for lobbyists from all districts of the city. Barbara Gittings prepared packets of information for the lobbyists.

Harry Langhorne, political reporter for PGN, had the responsibility of rewriting the gay-rights bill and finding sponsors in Council.

Alyce Morgan took on the role of liaison with the National Organization for Women, which is expected to provide major support for the new bill.

The committee formed in response to complaints that previous advocacy efforts for a gay-rights bill did not include enough lesbians and other interested groups.

State police admit entrapment of gay men Adapted from reporting by PGN staff In response to nearly five months of pressure from gay activists and the office of Gov. Milton Shapp, Pennsylvania State Police confirmed that “operations” were conducted to entrap and arrest gay men on a variety of sexually oriented charges at selected locations throughout the commonwealth.

The police made the statement through the state Department of Justice.

Police said Troop S, which patrolled interstate highways, claimed the procedures were meant to protect, rather than harass, gay men, who were “subject to

violence by local hoods who … hang out at certain locations favored by homosexuals,” usually at highway rest areas.

PGN obtained copies of internal memos that were made available to the governor’s Gay Task Force. In one from October 1975, Deputy Attorney General Glenn Gilman wrote, “It appears that for a period of time ending in August [1975], the majority of Troop S arrests for homosexual activities were initiated by members of the Pennsylvania State Police, and not by third parties.”

Troop S made 45 arrests from 1973 to August 1975, according to information from the DOJ provided to the Gay Task Force.

Gay activist Jerry Brennan of Harrisburg’s Gay Community Services called for a full-scale investigation of the state police by the DOJ. n — compiled by Paige Cooperstein

Steering committee forms for LGBT orgs across state

With marriage equality now the law of the land in Pennsylvania, our March 4 Wedding Issue will celebrate local couples who have, or are planning to, put a ring on it.

SEAT AT THE TABLE: Members of the newly formed Steering Committee gathered last month in Pittsburgh to address organizational priorities. Founder Jason Landau Goodman said the group, comprised of 20 directors of LGBT organizations from across Pennsylvania, is intended to build networks among LGBT communities and the agencies that serve them.

By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com

Email editor@epgn.com by Feb. 27 to have your announcement included.

Deja Lynn Alvarez felt a little skeptical as she headed to Pittsburgh the last weekend of January.

“You hear the word ‘committee’ all the time,” said Alvarez, director of Divine Light LGBTQ Wellness Center in North Philadelphia. “A lot of times, they don’t amount to anything.”

But, she said, she was “pleasantly surprised” by the time she spent with 19 other executive directors and leaders of LGBT organizations across the state. Jason Landau Goodman, founding executive director of Pennsylvania Youth Congress, spearheaded the organization of the steering committee, which is meant to “coalesce a statewide voice to help build stronger local communities,” he said.

Alvarez, who also works with the TransHealth Information Project at GALAEI: A Queer Latin@ Social Justice Organization, was the only representative from Philadelphia. Rachel Stevenson, founder of LGBTea Dances in Chester County, and Stephen Seufert, state director of Keystone Catholics in Bucks County, also attended.

“We all kind of shared the same frustrations,” Alvarez said. “It didn’t feel like a bunch of organizations sitting down where everybody’s trying to get the same piece of the pie. We were trying to figure out how we could all eat from the whole pie and benefit the community.”

Landau Goodman said another steering committee meeting is expected to take

place this summer in central Pennsylvania.

Future meetings will help determine the mission of the group. Discussion at the first meeting included individual organization and personal visions; racial and economic-justice visions; transgender resources and community visions; and youth and elder community visions.

“It was incredibly productive and groundbreaking,” Landau Goodman said.

“This type of meeting has not happened for many decades in Pennsylvania.”

He noted the last time this many organizations met from across the state, it was for the Council for Sexual Minorities, established by Gov. Milton Shapp in 1976. That meeting will celebrate its 40th anniversary in April, though the group “whittled down” by the close of that decade.

Landau Goodman said the idea behind the steering committee is to develop meaningful relationships so local organizations routinely share information, provide oversight and encourage transparency and accountability in the work.

“No one group speaks for LGBT Pennsylvania,” he said. “There can be concern on the ground about how statewide LGBT organizations are operating. Local groups can challenge my organization just like they can challenge any other.”

Alvarez said the steering committee made her realize she had “kind of been living in a Philadelphia bubble.” She said she wants to expand her vision beyond the city.

“The more of us there are at the table, the louder our voice,” Alvarez said. n

More details emerge in former N.J. HEALTH AND WELLNESS DIRECTORY cop’s same-sex harassment case

By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Additional details are emerging in the sexual-harassment case filed by former Haddon Township, N.J., Police Officer Jason DeMent against his former supervisor, Chief Mark Cavallo.

DeMent, a 14-year veteran of the force, was terminated in October, allegedly due to his complaints about unwanted sexual advances by Cavallo.

Township officials also cut off health-care coverage for DeMent and his family, despite DeMent’s offer to contribute financially to its continuation.

In August, DeMent filed suit against Cavallo and the township, alleging wrongful termination, sexual harassment, retaliation and other unlawful activities.

A Jan. 31 legal filing by DeMent contains additional details to buttress his claim of sexual harassment by Cavallo.

In one alleged incident, when DeMent offered to do “anything” reasonable to keep his job despite a vision impairment, Cavallo allegedly responded by saying: “You look good. Come over here and let me hold you like a baby.”

During another incident, Cavallo allegedly placed his arm around DeMent, expressed his “love” for him and tried to kiss his neck. DeMent allegedly pushed Cavallo off of him to avoid additional unwanted touching.

On other occasions, Cavallo allegedly made comments of a sexual nature to DeMent, while raising his eyebrows, widening his eyes, and looking “up and down” at DeMent.

In a prior allegation, Cavallo propositioned DeMent by stating: “Do you want to lock the [office] door and pull the blinds down, baby?”

Other allegations against Cavallo include texting inappropriate messages to DeMent of a sexual nature; pinching DeMent’s upper leg as he passed by; telling DeMent he’s “cute,” “hot” and “handsome”; offering to “run away” with DeMent; asking DeMent to “talk dirty” to him; offering to co-habitate with DeMent; and asking DeMent to turn around so he could see his rear end.

In the Jan. 31 filing, DeMent also claims that another township police officer, “J.C.,” had a nonjob-related bicycle accident in August that required surgery. Since “J.C.” couldn’t go back on patrol, he was placed on “light duty,” a reasonable accommodation allegedly denied DeMent for his vision impairment.

At the time of his injury, “J.C.” didn’t provide township officials with a specific return-to-work date, according to DeMent’s filing.

DeMent claims he was treated differently than “J.C.,” because DeMent “blew the whistle” on Cavallo’s sexual harassment.

DeMent is seeking reinstatement to the police force, along with compensation for lost wages and benefits, emotional distress and other damages.

DeMent also alleges discrimination due to his vision impairment, known as Stargardt’s disease.

But township officials asked U.S. District Judge Robert B. Kugler to dismiss that claim. The request remained pending as of presstime.

Neither side had a comment for this story. n

Longer, London-themed event to raise funds for ActionAIDS

By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Locals are invited to dress like Londoners and enjoy three hours of small games of chance and cocktails. The fourth-annual Glamsino Royale fundraiser is an hour longer than usual this year to benefit ActionAIDS. “Everyone always has so much fun,” said Mark Hayes, general manager at Hotel Palomar, a Kimpton Hotel. “We said, ‘We can do this for another hour, absolutely.’”

The event takes place 6-9 p.m.

Feb. 18 at Hotel Palomar, 117 S. 17th St. Tickets cost $50.

The money supports operations of multiple services like med-

ical case managers and housing counselors, said Kevin Burns, executive director of ActionAIDS. “It fills in the gaps from government contracts,” he said.

Burns said about 30 tickets remain for sale, adding a soldout event would hold 200 guests.

People can play games on Palomar’s 24th floor and penthouse-level Burnham Ballroom.

Hayes said there are new games this year, including a wheel of chance, in addition to classics like roulette and craps.

Bartenders have also prepared some new cocktails, including a twist on the French 75 with gin and rosé. The silent auction will feature items like hotel stays in

cities across the Kimpton network.

Hayes said the ongoing relationship between the Palomar and ActionAIDS makes sense because they both have customized approaches.

“Their approach to individually focusing on their clients translates well with the personal approach that we have in hospitality,” Hayes said.

Burns agreed that the relationship benefits both organizations.

“Our focus is building a community of care and they’re part of that,” he said.

the Supreme Court to review his case.

Schneider claims he was charged outside the five-year statute of limitations because he was charged in 2010 and his alleged crime occurred in 2001.

The court is expected to announce whether it will review Schneider’s case later this month.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Justice Department had no comment for this update.

News Briefing No response from government in Supreme Court matter The U.S. Justice Department has declined to respond to an appeal filed in the U.S. Supreme Court by a Philadelphia-area attorney convicted of a sex-related offense.

Kenneth Schneider, a Philadelphia-area attorney who traveled with a 15-year-old boy to Russia with the intention of sexually abusing him, wants the high court to overturn his conviction.

A federal jury convicted Schneider in 2010, and his conviction was upheld by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals last year.

ing the crash.

The incident occurred at 9:21 p.m. May 12 in North Philadelphia. Eight passengers were killed, and more than 200 were injured.

The train had just entered the Frankford Junction curve at a speed of 106 mph, where the speed is restricted to 50 mph, when the locomotive and all seven passenger cars derailed. In June, the NTSB suspended Bostian’s locomotive-engineer certificate for operating the train at excessive speeds.

In his interviews, Bostian said he has a vague memory of slamming on the emergency brake around the time of the derailment.

He also recalled being concerned by a report that rocks were being thrown at trains, shortly before the incident.

Investigators said Bostian tested negative for drugs and alcohol after the crash, and he wasn’t talking on his cell phone during the derailment.

Bostian also told investigators he had Lasik surgery prior to the accident, resulting in an “unbelievable” improvement in his vision.

A final report by the NTSB is expected later this year.

Extension granted in prison case A magistrate judge has granted the federal government an additional 30 days to respond to the lawsuit filed by openly gay inmate Kenneth J. Houck.

In 2011, Houck was brutally assaulted by two other inmates while detained at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia.

Houck’s leg was broken in multiple places during the assault, and he continues to walk with a limp.

Last year, Houck filed suit against the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, seeking $1.8 million in damages.

Last week, U.S. Magistrate Judge Kathleen M. Tafoya granted the U.S. Justice Department an additional 30 days to respond to Houck’s suit.

In a Jan. 25 legal brief, Justice Department attorneys said they’re “diligently working” on the case, but need more time to file a formal response.

Houck is imprisoned for transporting child pornography. His scheduled release date is June 11, 2018.

Trial postponed in ICandy case A jury trial in an ICandy slipand-fall lawsuit has been postponed until March, due to scheduling conflicts.

Alina T. Zabroski says a fog-producing machine at ICandy contributed to unsafe conditions on the premises, causing her to fall on a stairway and sustain serious injuries.

The alleged incident occurred about 1:15 a.m. Nov. 23, 2013, at the popular LGBT nightclub, located at 254 S. 12th St. In September 2014, Zabroski filed suit against ICandy in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, seeking in excess of $50,000 in damages.

Efforts to settle have been unavailing, and the case initially was scheduled for a jury trial in February.

A jury trial has been rescheduled for March, though an exact trial date hasn’t been announced, according to court records.

LGBT businesses encouraged to participate in DNC The host committee for the Democratic National Convention is looking for an event-planning firm to organize three major events in Philadelphia the week before the July convention.

The welcoming events include a volunteer party July 21, an event for media and convention attendees July 23 and an event for delegates and Democratic Party officials July 24. Several thousand people are expected to attend each one.

Independence Business Alliance, the Philadelphia region’s LGBT chamber of commerce, is helping LGBT vendors prepare to submit their information to the host committee’s request for qualifications, which is due Feb. 17.

Selections will be made Feb. 29.

The event planner will be responsible for things like themes and décor, setup and takedown, providing entertainment and arranging food and beverage among other things, according to the DNC request for proposals.

To submit qualifications, visit www.phldnc.com/vendors. For help from the IBA, call 215-5570190.

The Royals will play the Manchester Monarchs from New Hampshire in the game, which is set to start at 7 p.m. It takes place at Santander Arena, 700 Penn St., Reading. Tickets cost $15, and a portion of the proceeds support Reading Pride’s social and educational programs.

To purchase tickets, visit www. royalshockey.com. Go to the “Group Central” tab and enter the code “ReadingPride.” Tickets will be available at the will-call counter before the game. For more information, contact Derrick Leshko at 610-898-7216.

Tax guide for LGBT people The National LGBTQ Task Force this month launched an income-tax preparation guide for LGBT people. The new resource is available to download by visiting www.queerourtaxes.org.

“LGBTQ people are disproportionally more likely to live at or below the poverty line,” Meghan Maury, criminal and economic justice director with the Task Force, said in a statement.

Maury added the goal is to help LGBT people get tax credits and deductions they may not know about. She said deductions are available for out-of-pocket costs related to transition care, including surgery. People may also claim credit for adoption-related expenses. n — Paige Cooperstein

Creep of the Week

D’Anne Witkowski

Louie Gohmert

Editorial

No winners here Kathryn Knott is in prison.

The trial is done, the verdict has been decided and the sentencing issued. While many LGBTs heralded the news that convicted gay basher Knott is behind bars, the courtroom resolution isn’t necessarily cause for celebration.

One individual has been taken to task for her role in the vicious 2014 attack that left a gay couple beaten. But there were more than a dozen other people involved in the incident, to varying degrees. While Knott is facing punishment for her participation, the underlying factors that allowed this chance encounter to escalate into what it became remain.

The machismo entitlement that enabled Kevin Harrigan to think he could disparage victim Zachary Hesse, setting off the melee in the first place, abounds in our society. The inclination toward snap judgment and physical violence, which Philip Williams exhibited when he mistakenly thought a female friend was struck, is visible in our schools and on our streets every day. The mob mentality that seemingly possessed Knott to get involved and throw a punch is nearly as frightening, and powerful, as the punches themselves.

This situation, above all else, starkly illustrated that these ills still plague our society — and are prevalent perhaps in the most unexpected circles. Few would have, unfortunately, anticipated that a group of affluent, well-dressed, welleducated 20-somethings from the suburbs would be slinging antigay slurs; this is the generation that is supposed to be unprecedentedly LGBT-friendly and accepting. But, when that group was taken out of its suburban enclave of homogeneity, imbibed on alcohol and found itself facing conflict, it fell back on the basest and easiest attack: disparaging one’s sexual orientation. That seed is still there — likely planted in elementary-school settings — that makes people think it’s the ultimate offense to humiliate an individual for being LGBT. Ideally, this case — and the widespread public condemnation for the defendants’ actions — has made a dent in that notion. But Knott’s sentence is just one small cog in the machine of societal acceptance and awareness of LGBT bias.

It was clear in the courtroom Monday afternoon that there were no winners in this case. Knott clung to her parents, crying and shaking, before she was taken away in handcuffs. Her best friend sat on the floor of the hallway outside the courtroom, crying with her head in her hands. Haught nervously read from his victim-impact statement and wiped away tears after Knott apologized to the victims. The couple and their families made a quiet beeline for the exit as soon as the sentence was read, understandably eager to put this long saga behind them.

There was little to celebrate, other than the close, for now, of this chapter of this very-public case.

But the issues remain. And the work remains. n

I think Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails said it best: “Bow down before the one you serve. You’re going to get what you deserve.”

And if you’re Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, you’re up in arms about the fact that the Supreme Court ruled that God doesn’t exist anymore — and since they’re the highest court in this land, well, they’re God now.

But what’s a Texas rep supposed to do with all that anger? Well, take to the airwaves before the Supreme Court takes those away, too!

On Jan. 22, as Right Wing Watch reported, Gohmert was interviewed on “The Joyce Kaufman Show,” a Florida radio program hosted by, duh, Kaufman, who calls herself “South Florida’s leading independent voice,” for whatever that’s worth.

She also seems to think of herself as quite the comedian. Her online bio states that she is “Divorced and remairried [sic], just like you …”

Apparently the gays have so ruined marriage that heterosexuals can’t even spell it anymore. Then it says, “Heterosexual, probably unlike you.”

Um, OK. I mean, she’s right that I’m not, but I also don’t think I’m her intended audience. Which leads me to believe that “heterosexual, probably unlike you” is supposed to be a joke. Because ha.

While the bulk of the interview is about Benghazi, at one point Kaufman suggests term limits for Supreme Court justices, saying that lifetime appointments prevent “any kind of honesty.”

Let me point out that term limits for Supreme Court justices is a popular idea in some Republican circles right now, especially since the court voted to let the gays get married.

Gohmert is on board with this idea.

“Last June was the biggie,” he said, referring to Obergefell vs. Hodges, the case that won marriage equality for all. He then rambles a bit about how, for 40 years the Supreme Court said that people can’t talk about God (not true), and then he goes on about Moses and Jesus and God and their view on marriage according to the Bible and/or a Chick Tract Gohmert got with his Halloween candy.

According to Gohmert, “The Supreme Court said, ‘You know, we told you you

couldn’t use God, now here’s the new line: We’re God. We are your God. Forget what God, Moses, Jesus ever said. We are your God now, the five of us in the majority. You do as we tell you.’”

I think it’s only fair in this new reality that Ruth Bader Ginsburg get to be Chief Goddess, am I right?

“And I’m telling you,” Gohmert continued, “that is a Supreme Court that is out of control.”

“Supreme Court Gone Wild: Spring Break” edition! Woo hoo! Everybody must worship our supreme beach bods! We rule!

But wait, what’s Gohmert talking about?

“Two of the justices were illegally participating in that decision because the law’s very clear: If there is even a question that could be raised about your impartiality,” he said, “you must disqualify yourself. We have two of them who had done same-sex marriages before they participated.”

Gomert is referring to Justices Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan, who did in fact preside over the weddings of same-sex couples. This doesn’t make them “disqualified,” but it does make them awesome.

I should point out that Justice Antonin Scalia has been very outspoken against LGBT rights, yet I don’t see Gohmert crying that Scalia didn’t recuse himself.

Gohmert concludes that Obergefell is “an illegal decision, and it’s time to start impeaching judges and remove them from the Supreme Court.”

Supreme Court justices can, in fact, be impeached, but they have to have actually done something illegal, not just something Gohmert doesn’t like. So he’s welcome to sharpen his pitchfork and get the U.S. House to start impeachment proceedings.

Which I’m sure they’ll get to right after they’ve repealed Obamacare. n

“The Supreme Court said, ‘You know, we told you you couldn’t use God, now here’s the new line: We’re God. We are your God. Forget what God, Moses, Jesus ever said. We are your God now, the five of us in the majority. You do as we tell you.’”

Can you see the real me?

Every so often I like to take a step back from the issues of the day and spend a moment or two on what is known as “Transgender 101.” I know that not everyone who might casually wander across this column is transgender, or even may have the slightest glimmer of what it’s all about.

That said, I hope that everyone might get a little something out of this.

One of the most important things to understand about transgender people, beyond anything else, is this: When we live in our preferred gender identity, or opt to express gender in any manner of our choosing, we are being authentic to ourselves. You are seeing the person we really see ourselves as.

What you see then is our authentic selves, presented in a gender identity that feels right to us. We’re not trying to deceive. Indeed, it’s quite the opposite;

we’ve dropped the pretense of fitting into a gender identity that doesn’t fit us.

There are those out there, especially in the fights against public accommodations for trans people, who will tell you that it is a simple matter to identify as trans, and that allowing transgender people to use the restroom of their appropriate gender will open the floodgates for others to claim to be transgender in a bid to harm others.

To date, there are no truly credible examples of this happening in the fashion our foes would claim.

We have usually spent a significant portion of our lives coming to this conclusion. It is rare that we might come to such a decision without a fair amount of soul searching and introspection. Many of us will try anything else we can before we opt to transition. It’s just not a simple decision.

To the average non-transgender person,

the notion of changing his or her gender is a non-issue. They’re perfectly happy to remain what they were assigned at birth — usually due to the configuration of their genitalia — and have not felt any significant displeasure with their gender identity.

Such folks, they have always been a man or a woman and expect to be such for the rest of their lives. The issue of their gender is moot.

Indeed, even if they opt to appear as the opposite gender for, say, a film role such as Eddie Redmayne’s portrayal in “The Danish Girl,” they understand that this is simply a role they are portraying. They remain male or female, and — unlike the mangled story that is “The Danish Girl” — appearing as a gender opposite the one they identify with does not change their core gender identity.

own sense of gender and opt to apply it to trans people, assuming that trans folks have this same innate gender identity that corresponds with their primary sexual characteristics, and that they have somehow “gone astray” at best — or are attempting to deceive at worst.

In 2003, a largely discredited psychologist, J. Michael Bailey, released his equally discredited book, “The Man Who Would Be Queen.” In the book, Bailey discussed the theory of “autogynephilia,” developed by sexologist Ray Blanchard.

In Blanchard and Bailey’s world, transsexuality as we know it does not exist.

Instead, there are people who are “homosexual transsexuals,” who seek genital reconstruction to attract straight men into (presumably) gay relationships, and “autogynephiliac transsexuals,” who are sexually aroused at the idea PAGE 14

judge quickly, and cooly, shut down.

“She can surrender now,” the judge said, shuffling papers.

After being allowed to hug her parents, Knott was taken through a side door in handcuffs. She was transferred to Riverside Correctional Facility, the city’s only all-women’s prison, Monday evening.

In their own words Before handing down her sentence, Covington heard a number of presentations, including from victim Andrew Haught.

Haught and boyfriend Zachary Hesse were walking near 16th and Chancellor streets Sept. 11, 2014, when they encountered Knott and a large group of her friends. One of the men in the group, Kevin Harrigan, used an antigay slur toward the couple and shoved Hesse, prompting a tussle that escalated. Both Hesse and Haught were punched multiple times, with Haught suffering numerous facial fractures at the hands of Philip Williams.

Witnesses testified during the December trial that Knott also punched Haught and used antigay language.

Haught took the witness stand Monday to read a victim-impact statement. He said that, while his broken bones have mended — after having his jaw wired shut for eight weeks — he still struggles with the fact that Knott and her friends left him bleeding and semi-conscious on the ground.

“The one thing I can’t get past is that the whole group left us,” he said, adding they went on to have a “carefree night” while he was rushed to the emergency room. “Every member of that group, including Kathryn Knott, left me in that alley to die.”

lies, they were addressed for the first time directly by Knott.

Wearing a gray sweater and black pants, Knott took off her glasses to read her prepared letter, weeping throughout.

“I’m so sorry this happened,” she said, turning and speaking to the victims. “No matter what led to this encounter, you did not deserve what happened to you. Andrew, I’m sorry for the injuries you suffered and the names you were called. Zachary, I’m sorry you were hurt and were the victim of slurs.”

She noted that, during the plea-negotiation process, she had requested, through her attorney, to meet with the victims.

“I asked for the three of us to meet because I thought, maybe naively, that we could put this behind us and some small good could come out of the horror of that night,” Knott said. “I ask for your forgiveness. And I hope that this case has educated people, including myself, about the need to be understanding and sensitive. I apologize to you and to your families and wish you nothing but the best.”

Haught wiped away tears as Knott finished her statement.

Defense arguments Before Knott’s address, Busico and prosecutor Mike Barry each urged Covington to follow their sentencing recommendations: Busico recommended probation, and Barry nine-23 months of incarceration.

Busico argued that Knott, 25, of Southampton, is a first-time offender who cooperated with reporting requirements throughout the criminal proceeding. He added that she shouldn’t be subject to prison time when Harrigan and Williams received none; both pleaded guilty last year to felony charges and received probation and community service. Knott rejected the deal and took her case to trial in December, where she was convicted of four misdemeanor charges.

“The person who put his fist up to Mr. Haught was told he was going home with a felony. The man who disfigured Mr. Haught got probation,” Busico said.

Throughout the trial, Barry noted that the victims pushed for plea deals to avoid a trial. Busico contended in his arguments Monday that he proposed modifications to the deal offered to Knott that were rejected by the District Attorney’s Office.

“We discussed a non-trial resolution, with suggestions. One was to let the parties meet privately to patch this up somehow.

The commonwealth didn’t agree. But it was attempted,” Busico said. “Should we punish Kathryn Knott for exercising her fundamental right to a trial?”

Barry, however, told reporters outside the courthouse after the hearing that the proposed resolution was for Knott’s entrance into an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program, which would have cleared the charges from her record after completion. He said the proposal was “not appropriate.”

Busico also contended Knott had suf-

fered adequate punishment already. The incident and ensuing inspection of inappropriate social-media postings led to her termination from her position as an emergency-room technician. It also resulted in intense media scrutiny and even death threats, Busico said. He said the case has impacted her relationships and will continue to arise if she chooses to marry or have children in the future.

“This limits her professionally and her interaction with society forever. She has had her life threatened, she was excoriated by local, regional and national media — and that was all done with a backdrop of the presumption of innocence,” Busico said. “She has been punished. Maybe not in the true, traditional sense, but in a way that has been scarring and permanent.

S h e ’s b e e n h e l d accountable in a way we don’t normally see in a simple-assault case. There will never be another day in her life where she will be anything but convicted.”

Barry also read out the names of 14 individuals who submitted character letters to the judge, having each who was present stand. man, One Nicholas Ortiz, was a character witness during the trial and, Busico said in court Monday, is openly gay. He contended Ortiz wanted to out himself on the stand to bolster Knott’s argument that she is not homophobic.

“But [Knott] said, ‘I’m not going to use my friend in that fashion,’” Busico told the court.

Knott began crying in earnest as Busico referenced the impact the case has had on her family.

“Last but certainly not least, her mother and father, Carol and Karl Knott, would beg for your mercy and offer their apologies to Andrew Haught, Zachary Hesse and their families,” Busico said. “They would tell you that Kathryn has been nothing but a loving member of their family, a daughter who has made them proud and that there is more to their daughter than the media has portrayed and that you’ve heard here in this courtroom.”

one to admit that they did wrong. Kathryn Knott gave them none of that peace.”

Barry noted that the case had a significant impact on the city’s reputation, and on the LGBT community.

He said he’s talked to LGBT family members and friends, who told him the incident made them question the safety of Philly streets.

“Center City is supposed to be a place where gay and lesbian people can walk without looking over their shoulders. But that woman and her two friends took that away.”

He scoffed at Busico’s argument that Knott has suffered enough.

He went on to show hospital photos taken of Haught and video of him after the incident.

“Andrew has a scar right in the middle of his face,” he said. “If he chooses to marry, it will be right there in his wedding photos. If he chooses to have children, he’ll have to answer the question, ‘Hey Dad, how did you get that scar?’ Every morning when he looks in the mirror, there it is.

I don’t want to hear what she has to carry around when he has a scar for the rest of his life, and he didn’t do anything.”

Barry went on to reference several of Knott’s social-media postings in which she shared private patient information, or made racial or ethnic jokes. He said they indicate she is not “the person of high character” that supporters made her out to be.

“There has been this theme that ‘Something happened to Kathryn Knott.’

This didn’t happen to her; she did it. Mr. Busico mentioned the consequence that she will have trouble finding a job. Good,” Barry said. “If the consequence of this is that she’s not in the medical field, I say thank God.” Barry also referenced Knott’s series of antigay tweets, presented as evidence during trial.

In one tweet, Knott called herself a “dyke,” and told the court when she took the stand at trial that she used that word to mean she “looked terrible.”

Barry said that explanation demonstrates that the gravity of the 2014 incident, and the issues involved, still haven’t sunk in for Knott.

“She just doesn’t get it, right over her head,” Barry said, motioning with his hand over his head. “She didn’t see that when she was on the witness stand, maybe she shouldn’t say that looking terrible is being equal to a dyke. But that’s how far the dis-

“Andrew has a scar right in the middle of his face.

If he chooses to marry, it will be right there in his wedding photos. If he chooses to have children, he’ll have to answer the question, ‘Hey Dad, how did you get that scar?’

Every morning when he looks in the mirror, there it is. I don’t want to hear what [Knott] has to carry around when he has a scar for the rest of his life, and he didn’t do anything.”

Prosecution arguments “These men didn’t want this,” Barry told Covington when he was given the opportunity to address the court. “They’ve been on the stand for hours, had their faces in the news, been pushed by the media. All they wanted was for this to be over, and for some-

LOCAL PGN

connect is.”

Barry told reporters after the hearing that he believed the apology Knott gave to the victims Monday was credible, but that it came too late.

“She did give a very sincere apology in court, I can’t deny that,” he said. “But throughout the discussion of this case, and the language about this case, she repeatedly shifted blame onto other people and didn’t accept responsibility. Williams and Harrigan got the sentences they did because they went above and beyond: They admitted their guilt and took the responsibility of their sentence. She did none of that. It’s not that she got more by taking this to trial, but it’s about not getting the break the other two got because she couldn’t see the opportunity that was in front of her.”

Barry finished his presentation showing video of Knott’s group calmly walking to a bar after the attack.

“Kathryn Knott thinks she’s going to walk away from this again.”

‘Violation of human rights’ Covington seemed to find the video impactful.

“For someone in the medical field, I don’t know how you could walk away and leave someone bleeding on the street,” Covington said directly to Knott. “The entire group walked away. And until their faces were on the news, no one took responsibility. And they did only to save themselves from pros-

ecution. None of the three [prosecuted] here would be here if others didn’t rat you out.”

Covington went on to say that Knott’s case hit home for her.

“During this trial, I thought of my very close friends, who are recently engaged.

What if it was those gentlemen who were walking that night? Or I thought, What if it was me and a girlfriend, me and my sister or even me and my boyfriend? It could’ve been any of us,” she said, looking pointedly at both sides of the court. “These were homophobic slurs, but it could’ve been any hateful slur.”

Covington added that the state legislature has “not properly or formally” included LGBT protections in its hate-crimes law, but said that does not stop her from viewing this case as a “violation of human rights.”

After the hearing, Barry told PGN that he hopes the case raises awareness about the state’s lack of an LGBT-inclusive hatecrimes law. “[Advancing an inclusive law] was never my intention in prosecuting this case, but as a person, I can tell you I hope it has a great impact,” he said. “[Not having LGBT protections] is unacceptable and nonsensical.

If something horrendous happens, I want to have tools at my disposal to make sure people are held responsible. Not having that law keeps me from having tools at my disposal, which is so frustrating. So that wasn’t my goal in this prosecution, but at the same time, if it’s one of the good things to come out of it, that would be nice.” n

PGN FINANCES

It’s 2016: Do you know who your beneficiaries are?

Q: My partner and I just got married and created new wills and other estate documents. We’re not sure who we listed as beneficiaries on our old life insurance and retirement plans. Does having new wills automatically update those old policies/plans?

A: The quick answer is no!

Life insurance and retirement-plan beneficiary designations will bypass your will.

It’s very important for you to contact those companies right away to make sure the named beneficiaries are appropriate for your plans. Here are some tips for you and others who may be in a similar situation.

beneficiaries, followed by some specific guidelines for insurance policies, employer-sponsored retirement plans and IRAs. General considerations • Age of beneficiary. Many policies and plans will not directly transfer assets to minors until a trustee or guardian is approved by a court.

• Ability of beneficiary to manage assets. Perhaps a trust set up in the person’s name would be better than a direct transfer.

• Naming contingent beneficiaries. Should something happen to your primary beneficiary, the contingent beneficiary would receive your Jeremy assets. Charities may be a for contingent Gussick consideration beneficiaries for those without other heirs.

Out Money

Whether you’re wealthy or earn a modest income, there is one estate-planning concern that is shared by people from all walks of life: the decision of who gets what when you’re gone. While some individuals logically assume that a will is the only official forum to express such decisions, that is not always the case. Often, an equally important issue in estate planning is whom to name as beneficiary on life-insurance policies and retirement-plan accounts such as 401(k)s and IRAs, since these assets are passed on regardless of what may be spelled out in a will.

Naming beneficiaries can be complicated and could present unintended consequences to the beneficiary. For instance, an improper designation could make life difficult for your family in the event of your untimely death by putting assets out of reach of those you had hoped to provide for, possibly even increasing their tax burdens. Further, if you have switched jobs, become a new parent, divorced, married or survived a spouse or child, your current beneficiary designations may need to be updated.

If a financial review is part of your annual ritual this time of year, be sure to include a beneficiary review as part of that process. Here are a few general pointers to keep in mind when naming TRANSMISSIONS from page 11

of having a female body. This is what you see presented in the aforementioned “The Danish Girl,” by the way.

I should add that, yes, there is such a term as “autoandrophilia,” though Blanchard doesn’t seem to think that exists. In a 2013 Vice interview, Blanchard stated, “I proposed it simply in order not to be accused of sexism.”

In this notion of “autogynephilia,” trans lives are stripped of legitimacy. Even though Blanchard has generally supported genital reconstruction surgeries for transsexuals, this notion of trans identity

Life insurance No matter who is designated, the beneficiaries will receive the death-benefit proceeds income-tax free. Unlike property disposed of in a will, if the beneficiary designation form is properly completed, insurance proceeds do not go through probate.

For many married couples/partners, a spouse will be the most logical beneficiary. A trust may be a prudent beneficiary choice, however, if a surviving spouse would not have the ability to effectively manage a large sum of money.

The trustees (often a legal entity rather than an individual) would then take charge of managing, investing and disbursing the policy proceeds for the benefit of the surviving spouse/partner.

Be sure to name contingent or secondary beneficiaries. This means that if the primary beneficiary has died, the insurance proceeds would go to the secondary individual or trust. If there are no surviving beneficiaries, then your beneficiary is generally the “estate of the being little more than a fetish over having a female body — or, of course, wanting surgery to “fool straight guys” — says that the lived experiences of a lot of transgender people is to be discounted.

“An autogynephile does not necessarily become sexually aroused every time he pictures himself as female or engages in feminine behavior, any more than a heterosexual man automatically gets an erection whenever he sees an attractive woman,” said Blanchard in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy in 1991. “Thus, the concept of autogynephilia — like that of heterosexuality, homosexuality, or pedo-

insured,” which means the death benefits end up being probated and ultimately distributed according to the instructions of the decedent’s last will and testament.

If an individual dies without a valid will (intestate), then the order of legal beneficiaries to whom assets are distributed is specified by that state’s law.

Retirement plans and IRAs Federal law generally requires that a spouse be the primary beneficiary of a 401(k) or a profit-sharing plan account unless he/she waives that right in writing.

A waiver may make sense in a second marriage — for example, if a new spouse is already financially set or if children from a first marriage are more likely to need the money.

Single people can name whomever they wish as beneficiary of a retirement account, and non-spouse beneficiaries are now eligible for a tax-free transfer to an IRA. The IRS has also issued regulations that dramatically simplify the way certain distributions affect IRA owners and their beneficiaries. Consult your tax advisor on how these rule changes may affect your situation.

Keep your plan up to date When completing overall estate plans and wills, it is imperative to readjust all beneficiary designations so that your estate plan accurately reflects your intentions. Remember, outdated beneficiary designations (e.g., older parents or ex-partners or ex-spouses) could misdirect the intended flow of an entire estate plan unless changed now.

Also keep in mind that beneficiaries are paid directly as named. Thus, beneficiary designations are not governed by the directions of last wills and testaments.

As is always the case with estate planning, consult with qualified professionals concerning your particular situation in order to ensure that your beneficiary designations are in tune with your goals.

philia — refers to a potential for sexual excitation.”

In short, it doesn’t matter if you actually got sexually excited, but you might have.

These same standards are not applied to non-transgender people, mind you. When a somewhat limited test for “autogynephilia” in non-transgender women was administered in 2009, it put forth that “autogynephilia” is simply too broad to be taken seriously and only exists to negatively portray transgender people as fetishists.

One more thing … I mentioned that whole bit above about wanting medical transitions in order to “fool men.” What

Tax tips • Life-insurance benefits are transferred free of income taxes.

• A non-spouse beneficiary of a pension plan, such as a 401(k), must report the proceeds as “income with respect to a decedent” but can transfer assets tax free to an IRA. • IRA beneficiaries must pay income taxes up to the fully deductible portion of the IRA proceeds and earnings. A spousal beneficiary may be able to treat the IRA as his or her own IRA. n Jeremy R.

Brief Summary of Patient Information about GENVOYA GENVOYA (jen-VOY-uh) (elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide) tablets Important: Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist about medicines that should not be taken with GENVOYA. There may be new information about GENVOYA. This information is only a summary and does not take the place of talking with your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment.

What is the most important information I should know about GENVOYA? GENVOYA can cause serious side effects, including: • Build-up of lactic acid in your blood (lactic acidosis).

Lactic acidosis may happen in some people who take GENVOYA. Lactic acidosis is a serious medical emergency that can lead to death. Lactic acidosis can be hard to identify early, because the symptoms could seem like symptoms of other health problems. Call your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following symptoms, which could be signs of lactic acidosis: • • • • • • •

feel very weak or tired have unusual (not normal) muscle pain have trouble breathing have stomach pain with nausea or vomiting feel cold, especially in your arms and legs feel dizzy or lightheaded have a fast or irregular heartbeat

• Severe liver problems. Severe liver problems may happen in people who take GENVOYA. In some cases, these liver problems can lead to death. Your liver may become large and you may develop fat in your liver.

Call your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following symptoms of liver problems: • your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice) • dark “tea-colored” urine • light-colored bowel movements (stools) • loss of appetite for several days or longer • nausea • stomach pain • You may be more likely to get lactic acidosis or severe liver problems if you are female, very overweight (obese), or have been taking GENVOYA for a long time.

• Worsening of Hepatitis B infection. GENVOYA is not for use to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV). If you have HBV infection and take GENVOYA, your HBV may get worse (flareup) if you stop taking GENVOYA. A “flare-up” is when your HBV infection suddenly returns in a worse way than before.

• Do not run out of GENVOYA. Refill your prescription or talk to your healthcare provider before your GENVOYA is all gone.

• Do not stop taking GENVOYA without first talking to your healthcare provider.

• If you stop taking GENVOYA, your healthcare provider will need to check your health often and do blood tests regularly for several months to check your HBV infection.

Tell your healthcare provider about any new or unusual symptoms you may have after you stop taking GENVOYA.

GENC0006_PhilaGayNews_10.125x11.35_Single.indd 2-3

What is GENVOYA? GENVOYA is a prescription medicine that is used without other HIV-1 medicines to treat HIV-1 in people 12 years of age and older: • who have not received HIV-1 medicines in the past or • to replace their current HIV-1 medicines in people who have been on the same HIV-1 medicines for at least 6 months, have an amount of HIV-1 in their blood (“viral load”) that is less than 50 copies/mL, and have never failed past HIV-1 treatment HIV-1 is the virus that causes AIDS. GENVOYA contains the prescription medicines elvitegravir (VITEKTA®), cobicistat (TYBOST®), emtricitabine (EMTRIVA®) and tenofovir alafenamide.

It is not known if GENVOYA is safe and effective in children under 12 years of age.

When used to treat HIV-1 infection, GENVOYA may: • Reduce the amount of HIV-1 in your blood.

This is called “viral load”.

• Increase the number of CD4+ (T) cells in your blood that help fight off other infections.

Reducing the amount of HIV-1 and increasing the CD4+ (T) cells in your blood may help improve your immune system. This may reduce your risk of death or getting infections that can happen when your immune system is weak (opportunistic infections).

GENVOYA does not cure HIV-1 infection or AIDS. You must stay on continuous HIV-1 therapy to control HIV-1 infection and decrease HIV-related illnesses.

Avoid doing things that can spread HIV-1 infection to others: • Do not share or re-use needles or other injection equipment.

• Do not share personal items that can have blood or body fluids on them, like toothbrushes and razor blades.

• Do not have any kind of sex without protection. Always practice safer sex by using a latex or polyurethane condom to lower the chance of sexual contact with semen, vaginal secretions, or blood.

Ask your healthcare provider if you have any questions about how to prevent passing HIV-1 to other people.

Who should not take GENVOYA? Do not take GENVOYA if you also take a medicine that contains: • alfuzosin hydrochloride (Uroxatral®) • carbamazepine (Carbatrol®, Epitol®, Equetro®, Tegretol®, Tegretol-XR®, Teril®) • cisapride (Propulsid®, Propulsid Quicksolv®) • ergot-containing medicines, including: dihydroergotamine mesylate (D.H.E. 45®, Migranal®), ergotamine tartrate (Cafergot®, Migergot®, Ergostat®, Medihaler Ergotamine®, Wigraine®, Wigrettes®), and methylergonovine maleate (Ergotrate®, Methergine®) • lovastatin (Advicor®, Altoprev®, Mevacor®) • midazolam, when taken by mouth • phenobarbital (Luminal®) • phenytoin (Dilantin®, Phenytek®) • pimozide (Orap®) • rifampin (Rifadin®, Rifamate®, Rifater®, Rimactane®) • sildenafil (Revatio®), when used for treating lung problems • simvastatin (Simcor®, Vytorin®, Zocor®) • triazolam (Halcion®) • the herb St. John’s wort or a product that contains St. John’s wort

PGN

What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking GENVOYA? Before taking GENVOYA, tell your healthcare provider if you: • have liver problems including hepatitis B infection • have kidney or bone problems • have any other medical conditions • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if GENVOYA can harm your unborn baby. Tell your healthcare provider if you become pregnant while taking GENVOYA. Pregnancy registry: there is a pregnancy registry for women who take HIV-1 medicines during pregnancy. The purpose of this registry is to collect information about the health of you and your baby. Talk with your healthcare provider about how you can take part in this registry.

• are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Do not breastfeed if you take GENVOYA. – You should not breastfeed if you have HIV-1 because of the risk of passing HIV-1 to your baby.

– At least one of the medicines in GENVOYA can pass to your baby in your breast milk. It is not known if the other medicines in GENVOYA can pass into your breast milk.

– Talk with your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Other medicines may affect how GENVOYA works.

Some medicines may interact with GENVOYA. Keep a list of your medicines and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

• You can ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for a list of medicines that interact with GENVOYA. • Do not start a new medicine without telling your healthcare provider.

Your healthcare provider can tell you if it is safe to take GENVOYA with other medicines.

How should I take GENVOYA?

• Take GENVOYA exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to take it. GENVOYA is taken by itself (not with other HIV-1 medicines) to treat HIV-1 infection.

• GENVOYA is usually taken 1 time each day.

• Take GENVOYA with food.

• If you need to take a medicine for indigestion (antacid) that contains aluminum and • • • •

magnesium hydroxide or calcium carbonate during treatment with GENVOYA, take it at least 2 hours before or after you take GENVOYA. Do not change your dose or stop taking GENVOYA without first talking with your healthcare provider. Stay under a healthcare provider’s care when taking GENVOYA. Do not miss a dose of GENVOYA. If you take too much GENVOYA, call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away.

When your GENVOYA supply starts to run low, get more from your healthcare provider or pharmacy. This is very important because the amount of virus in your blood may increase if the medicine is stopped for even a short time. The virus may develop resistance to GENVOYA and become harder to treat.

What are the possible side effects of GENVOYA? GENVOYA may cause serious side effects, including: • See “What is the most important information I should know about GENVOYA?” • Changes in body fat can happen in people who take HIV-1 medicine. These changes may include increased amount of fat in the upper back and neck (“buffalo hump”), breast, and around the middle of your body (trunk). Loss of fat from the legs, arms and face may also happen. The exact cause and long-term health effects of these conditions are not known.

• Changes in your immune system (Immune Reconstitution Syndrome) can happen when you start taking HIV-1 medicines. Your immune system may get stronger and begin to fight infections that have been hidden in your body for a long time. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you start having any new symptoms after starting your HIV-1 medicine.

• New or worse kidney problems, including kidney failure. Your healthcare provider should do blood and urine tests to check your kidneys before you start and while you are taking GENVOYA. Your healthcare provider may tell you to stop taking GENVOYA if you develop new or worse kidney problems.

• Bone problems can happen in some people who take GENVOYA. Bone problems may include bone pain, softening or thinning (which may lead to fractures). Your healthcare provider may need to do tests to check your bones.

The most common side effect of GENVOYA is nausea.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.

• These are not all the possible side effects of GENVOYA. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

• Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

General information about the safe and effective use of GENVOYA. Medicines are sometimes prescribed for purposes other than those listed in a Patient Information leaflet. Do not use GENVOYA for a condition for which it was not prescribed.

Do not give GENVOYA to other people, even if they have the same symptoms you have.

It may harm them.

Brief Summary of Patient Information about GENVOYA GENVOYA (jen-VOY-uh) (elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide) tablets Important: Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist about medicines that should not be taken with GENVOYA. There may be new information about GENVOYA. This information is only a summary and does not take the place of talking with your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment.

What is the most important information I should know about GENVOYA? GENVOYA can cause serious side effects, including: • Build-up of lactic acid in your blood (lactic acidosis).

Lactic acidosis may happen in some people who take GENVOYA. Lactic acidosis is a serious medical emergency that can lead to death. Lactic acidosis can be hard to identify early, because the symptoms could seem like symptoms of other health problems. Call your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following symptoms, which could be signs of lactic acidosis: • • • • • • •

feel very weak or tired have unusual (not normal) muscle pain have trouble breathing have stomach pain with nausea or vomiting feel cold, especially in your arms and legs feel dizzy or lightheaded have a fast or irregular heartbeat

• Severe liver problems. Severe liver problems may happen in people who take GENVOYA. In some cases, these liver problems can lead to death. Your liver may become large and you may develop fat in your liver.

Call your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following symptoms of liver problems: • your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice) • dark “tea-colored” urine • light-colored bowel movements (stools) • loss of appetite for several days or longer • nausea • stomach pain • You may be more likely to get lactic acidosis or severe liver problems if you are female, very overweight (obese), or have been taking GENVOYA for a long time.

• Worsening of Hepatitis B infection. GENVOYA is not for use to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV). If you have HBV infection and take GENVOYA, your HBV may get worse (flareup) if you stop taking GENVOYA. A “flare-up” is when your HBV infection suddenly returns in a worse way than before.

• Do not run out of GENVOYA. Refill your prescription or talk to your healthcare provider before your GENVOYA is all gone.

• Do not stop taking GENVOYA without first talking to your healthcare provider.

• If you stop taking GENVOYA, your healthcare provider will need to check your health often and do blood tests regularly for several months to check your HBV infection.

Tell your healthcare provider about any new or unusual symptoms you may have after you stop taking GENVOYA.

GENC0006_PhilaGayNews_10.125x11.35_Single.indd 2-3

What is GENVOYA? GENVOYA is a prescription medicine that is used without other HIV-1 medicines to treat HIV-1 in people 12 years of age and older: • who have not received HIV-1 medicines in the past or • to replace their current HIV-1 medicines in people who have been on the same HIV-1 medicines for at least 6 months, have an amount of HIV-1 in their blood (“viral load”) that is less than 50 copies/mL, and have never failed past HIV-1 treatment HIV-1 is the virus that causes AIDS. GENVOYA contains the prescription medicines elvitegravir (VITEKTA®), cobicistat (TYBOST®), emtricitabine (EMTRIVA®) and tenofovir alafenamide.

It is not known if GENVOYA is safe and effective in children under 12 years of age.

When used to treat HIV-1 infection, GENVOYA may: • Reduce the amount of HIV-1 in your blood.

This is called “viral load”.

• Increase the number of CD4+ (T) cells in your blood that help fight off other infections.

Reducing the amount of HIV-1 and increasing the CD4+ (T) cells in your blood may help improve your immune system. This may reduce your risk of death or getting infections that can happen when your immune system is weak (opportunistic infections).

GENVOYA does not cure HIV-1 infection or AIDS. You must stay on continuous HIV-1 therapy to control HIV-1 infection and decrease HIV-related illnesses.

Avoid doing things that can spread HIV-1 infection to others: • Do not share or re-use needles or other injection equipment.

• Do not share personal items that can have blood or body fluids on them, like toothbrushes and razor blades.

• Do not have any kind of sex without protection. Always practice safer sex by using a latex or polyurethane condom to lower the chance of sexual contact with semen, vaginal secretions, or blood.

Ask your healthcare provider if you have any questions about how to prevent passing HIV-1 to other people.

Who should not take GENVOYA? Do not take GENVOYA if you also take a medicine that contains: • alfuzosin hydrochloride (Uroxatral®) • carbamazepine (Carbatrol®, Epitol®, Equetro®, Tegretol®, Tegretol-XR®, Teril®) • cisapride (Propulsid®, Propulsid Quicksolv®) • ergot-containing medicines, including: dihydroergotamine mesylate (D.H.E. 45®, Migranal®), ergotamine tartrate (Cafergot®, Migergot®, Ergostat®, Medihaler Ergotamine®, Wigraine®, Wigrettes®), and methylergonovine maleate (Ergotrate®, Methergine®) • lovastatin (Advicor®, Altoprev®, Mevacor®) • midazolam, when taken by mouth • phenobarbital (Luminal®) • phenytoin (Dilantin®, Phenytek®) • pimozide (Orap®) • rifampin (Rifadin®, Rifamate®, Rifater®, Rimactane®) • sildenafil (Revatio®), when used for treating lung problems • simvastatin (Simcor®, Vytorin®, Zocor®) • triazolam (Halcion®) • the herb St. John’s wort or a product that contains St. John’s wort

PGN

What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking GENVOYA? Before taking GENVOYA, tell your healthcare provider if you: • have liver problems including hepatitis B infection • have kidney or bone problems • have any other medical conditions • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if GENVOYA can harm your unborn baby. Tell your healthcare provider if you become pregnant while taking GENVOYA. Pregnancy registry: there is a pregnancy registry for women who take HIV-1 medicines during pregnancy. The purpose of this registry is to collect information about the health of you and your baby. Talk with your healthcare provider about how you can take part in this registry.

• are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Do not breastfeed if you take GENVOYA. – You should not breastfeed if you have HIV-1 because of the risk of passing HIV-1 to your baby.

– At least one of the medicines in GENVOYA can pass to your baby in your breast milk. It is not known if the other medicines in GENVOYA can pass into your breast milk.

– Talk with your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Other medicines may affect how GENVOYA works.

Some medicines may interact with GENVOYA. Keep a list of your medicines and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

• You can ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for a list of medicines that interact with GENVOYA. • Do not start a new medicine without telling your healthcare provider.

Your healthcare provider can tell you if it is safe to take GENVOYA with other medicines.

How should I take GENVOYA?

• Take GENVOYA exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to take it. GENVOYA is taken by itself (not with other HIV-1 medicines) to treat HIV-1 infection.

• GENVOYA is usually taken 1 time each day.

• Take GENVOYA with food.

• If you need to take a medicine for indigestion (antacid) that contains aluminum and • • • •

magnesium hydroxide or calcium carbonate during treatment with GENVOYA, take it at least 2 hours before or after you take GENVOYA. Do not change your dose or stop taking GENVOYA without first talking with your healthcare provider. Stay under a healthcare provider’s care when taking GENVOYA. Do not miss a dose of GENVOYA. If you take too much GENVOYA, call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away.

When your GENVOYA supply starts to run low, get more from your healthcare provider or pharmacy. This is very important because the amount of virus in your blood may increase if the medicine is stopped for even a short time. The virus may develop resistance to GENVOYA and become harder to treat.

What are the possible side effects of GENVOYA? GENVOYA may cause serious side effects, including: • See “What is the most important information I should know about GENVOYA?” • Changes in body fat can happen in people who take HIV-1 medicine. These changes may include increased amount of fat in the upper back and neck (“buffalo hump”), breast, and around the middle of your body (trunk). Loss of fat from the legs, arms and face may also happen. The exact cause and long-term health effects of these conditions are not known.

• Changes in your immune system (Immune Reconstitution Syndrome) can happen when you start taking HIV-1 medicines. Your immune system may get stronger and begin to fight infections that have been hidden in your body for a long time. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you start having any new symptoms after starting your HIV-1 medicine.

• New or worse kidney problems, including kidney failure. Your healthcare provider should do blood and urine tests to check your kidneys before you start and while you are taking GENVOYA. Your healthcare provider may tell you to stop taking GENVOYA if you develop new or worse kidney problems.

• Bone problems can happen in some people who take GENVOYA. Bone problems may include bone pain, softening or thinning (which may lead to fractures). Your healthcare provider may need to do tests to check your bones.

The most common side effect of GENVOYA is nausea.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.

• These are not all the possible side effects of GENVOYA. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

• Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

Tone Deaf Councilman Squilla, Live Nation, and one really bad idea

D

o we really believe that Councilman Mark Squilla woke up one morning and figured that the most important problem confronting his constituents was DJs using iPods to stream music in city dance clubs? A problem he found so insidious that it required the suspension of constitutionally guaranteed rights to privacy, so that nightclub operators could collect the names and addresses of performers and share them with the police?

We don’t.

The honchos at Live Nation didn’t like the fact that smaller venues were popping up around town …

As Billy Penn blog describes it, “A new bill from Philly City Councilman Mark Squilla would require owners of nightclubs, cabarets, bars and restaurants in the city to collect the names, addresses, and phone numbers of entertainers — bands, rappers and DJs — in a registry, and to share that personal information with police upon request.

The proposal, which was introduced last week and is headed to a committee hearing, would directly involve the Philadelphia Police Department in the approval process for so-called “Special Assembly Occupancy” licenses — giving law enforcement de facto veto power over whether shows can be held at venues that hold 50

or more people.”

Squilla laid out his motivation this way: “The intention of the bill was to close a loophole in there that allowed for streaming and music to be played in night clubs, dance halls without a special assembly license.

There was other language added for public safety issues to collect some names and addresses.”

Of course, the collecting of names, to be handed over to the police, received the proper indignation from the Twitterrati trifecta: booking agents, ACLU, and artists.

As reported by Billy Penn: Sean Agnew, owner of R5 Productions, worried immediately about the impact on the city’s music scene, and the practical application of such a sweeping request.

“This is news to me. I’m not sure what the reasoning or theory is. As someone who books 600-plus shows a year, I have never once received an artist’s home address or phone number. It’s all through booking agents, managers, publicists. There is a firewall in place with the artists. I can’t imagine a band’s representatives wanting to give their clients information over to the police without a really good reason.”

Mary Catherine Roper, Deputy Legal Director of the Pennsylvania ACLU, after reviewing the bill, said, “This bill reflects a strange expansion of police duties and a dangerous muddling of the line between law enforcement and business licensing. No one can expect the PPD to approach this function the same way that L&I would approach it. They will approach it as another police function, informed by police priorities that may not be appropriate to the task.”

Finally, Léa van der Tak of the Philadelphia DIY Music Collaborative said the bill — and plan for a registry

— need to be killed. “I believe it really hurts the huge community of budding young artists in our city, and it hurts small businesses who have already been struggling to remain afloat with the influence of corporate giants such as Live Nation.”

Live Nation, no surprise there. It’s the same Live Nation whose water Squilla carried in order to build a 3,000-patron venue across from Sugarhouse Casino in Fishtown. The same Live Nation who brought us Made in America; concerts whose public funding, to this day, remain one of the great mysteries of the Nutter administration.

Here’s what we think went down. The honchos at Live Nation didn’t like the fact that smaller venues were popping up around town, drawing potential audiences from its venues and Continued on page 2

Tone Deaf Continued from page 1 its artists. So they drafted a bill to harass these venues, then handed it to Councilman Squilla who, seemingly, rubber-stamped it for a committee hearing.

Don’t take our word for it, take Squilla’s: “There were some tweaks and some misconceptions that weren’t agreed on by me when we introduced it, so we already have amendments in the works,” the councilman said last week.

Why is there a “tweak,” that made it into a bill, that was not

agreed upon by the very councilman who introduced it?

Maybe Councilman Squilla should be forced to watch old episodes of Constitution Rock; you know, the ones about how a bill becomes law.

Or better yet, the next time Live Nation comes knocking at Council’s door, perhaps he should remember that small music entrepreneurs are revitalizing neighborhoods across this city. Just listen.

Cheltenham Proves it’s Point Continued from page 12 quarter. Still, this was a giant road win over a league rival that had won nine games in a row. Did we mention that Cheltenham had a hiccup in an unheralded loss against Upper Moreland the night before? “We were really ready and prepared for Abington,” said Timms. “We scouted them a few times and knew we had a good chance to win. We didn’t dwell on the loss by Upper Moreland; we didn’t have any time to, as Abington was the very next day. Plus, Upper Moreland played hard and just beat us. The Abington win was a big one, moving forward towards districts. It will help with the seeding. They’re a very good team that’s young, big and strong, so beating them helped our guys realize we’re just as good.”

Timms said he also has survived an adjustment coming from a private school that is allowed to recruit, to a PIAA school that fields a team based on local geography only. “I knew the Suburban

2

One was a tough league,” he said.

“I have a great deal of respect for the programs in our league. It’s a major difference coming from the Friends’ League during the time I was assisting at Friends’ Central.

At one point, the Friends’ League had at least 20 division I players. While here, I’ve had all my graduates attending division III schools. So, while the talent level is obviously different, it is still very good. And the Suburban One is well represented when it comes to state championships. There are some really good coaches in the league who have built programs from the bottom, and that’s what inspired me to come to Cheltenham. The biggest difference between public versus private is the ability to recruit. I’m limited to the players who live in a very small, but good, demographic.

That’s been my main adjustment.

I’m very pleased with how it’s been working out. This is why I took the job for sure.”

Illustrating the demand for black children’s books Annual African American Children’s Book Fair hits 24 years

By Sheila Simmons

W

hen Marley Dias, an 11-year-old South Jersey girl, got “sick of reading about white boys and dogs,” she launched a book drive dubbed “#1000BlackGirlBooks.” Marley’s goal was to collect 1,000 books in which black girls were the main characters.

Her effort captured national attention, media attention and social media responses that included, among other notable figures, teacher labor leader Randi Weingarten. “This girl’s ‘#1000BlackGirlBooks’ is as amazing as it is important,” she posted on her Twitter account. The responses received by Marley, a Philadelphia native who now lives in West Orange, N.J., showed that such books do exist. She was made aware of wonderful books like “Bayou Magic,” “City Shapes” and “Sugar,” among others.

On a recent Saturday afternoon, Vanesse LloydSgambati was busy planning the Annual African American Children’s Book Fair that, for the past 24 years, has been a testament to black children’s literature.

The fair took place Sat., Feb. 6, at Community College of Philadelphia. Each year, thousands of readers, book customers, educators, librarians, and others file into the college’s vibrantly decorated gymnasium at 17th and Spring Garden streets for presentations by nationally known authors and illustrators. They travel through “The Literary Row” for free book-related promotional materials, or to browse a book-giveaway section for educators, that provides new books to teachers and librarians to use in their classrooms.

There are indeed books with black female protagonists, and books about black male historical figures. Many of these books have won the prestigious American Library Association Coretta Scott King award.

Lloyd-Sgambati insists that children who read outside of their normal school coursework make more responsible decisions about their lifestyles. She also wants to fight the notion that children’s books by and about blacks are not available, or don’t exist.

In 2014, Walter Dean Myers, former Library of Congress National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, whose books for children and young adults include “Monster,” captured attention with his New York Times commentary piece headlined, “Where Are the People of Color in Children’s Books?”

His commentary cited a study by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the University of Wisconsin that said of 3,200 children’s books published in 2013, only 93 were about black people. The Center said the books it counted were based on everything that comes into the library annually: picture books, novels, non-fiction, hardcover, original paperback trade books typically available for sale to public schools and public libraries, and some series/formula non-fiction titles.

Interestingly, Lloyd-Sgambati notes that while the 11-year-old’s drive shined light on the existence of books about black girls, more books with black boys as the protagonist are in need. Meanwhile, the regular turnout of the annual book fair is itself proof that such books do exist, as does the joy of reading them.

Vanesse Lloyd-Sgambati is the founder of the African American Children’s Book Fair.

SHERIFF’S SALE Properties

to

be

sold

by

JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff on Tuesday, March 1, 2016 at First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, at 9:00 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 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 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 certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff.

The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in 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 Philadel-

phia 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 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 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, 215-6861483 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

(30) Days from the date of the sale of Real Estate. 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 non-professional 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.

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

Barnes Young Friends Jump “Into the Blue” No “Blue Period” for these young professionals

by HughE Dillon

Themed to beating the winter blues the Barnes Foundation held its Young Friends Professionals Night on Jan. 29. Attendees enjoyed cocktails, hors d’ourves and after-hours access to the museum’s exhibits. Many were clad in blue attire and mixed and mingled to the sounds of Matt Cappy and his quintet performing the entire legendary Miles Davis album “Kind of Blue.” The crowd was also entertained by The York Street Hustle, who performed a deep dose of R&B and soul.

Cheltenham Proves its Point Additions from Panthers’ baseball and football form a winning team

By Jeremy Treatman

M

ost of the District 1 AAAA schools predicted

by Liberty City Press, back in November, to be in the running for a chance to play at Villanova in February and a run in the state playoffs haven’t disappointed. Chester, Downingtown West, Central Bucks West, Lower Merion, Plymouth Whitemarsh, Coatesville, Abington, Ridley, Pennsbury, and Conestoga are all having good years. And Cheltenham? We must admit, we missed on the Panthers.

Cheltenham’s on the road upset over Abington Jan. 30 solidified their 15-4 start and proved that they, too, will be in contention for league, district, and state titles. “It’s been a really fun year,” said John Timms, the Panthers coach. “Coming into the season, our goals were to have a better record than last year and advance in the district playoffs. Our goals haven’t changed from then until now. We see ourselves as a team that can beat anyone on any given day so our goal is to advance as far as we can. I know a lot of people didn’t see us playing this well, but we had a feeling we could do this with hard work.”

Last year, Cheltenham slipped in to the district playoffs and lost in the first round to Plymouth Whitemarsh, ending its season with a 12-11 mark. So, who saw this coming? Timms did. His job has been to instill confidence into his team members, since coming over from a star-studded Friends’ Central team, where he was a top assistant to Jason Polykoff during the Amile Jefferson era. Jefferson is now a senior star at Duke who

was a McDonald’s All-American at FCS and will be playing professionally next year.

“Coming from the Friends’ Central job, and being around a lot of Division I talent, I knew what type of work and effort players needed to compete on a high level,” Timms said. “Taking on the role of head coach at Cheltenham only made me put more emphasis on being fundamentally sound. I knew, once I got here, that we had a lot of work to do and it started with changing the mental mindset of the players. It takes a lot to get them to understand what it takes to be a top team in the area.

We’ve changed our workout plans, we’ve added individual workouts, and we’ve brought in personal trainers. By being at FCS, I have a clear understanding of how to build a program from ground zero. We were a .500 team at FCS the year before Amile Jefferson, so that took some building, too, but having an all-American on your team helps for sure.”

Cheltenham also got a boost this year when two role players, baseball player Trevonn Pitts and football star Branden Mack decided to join the team and fill out the roster. The two have paired with Khalil White and Justin Sutton, two all-conference holdovers from 2015 to comprise a top squad. “Trevonn and Branden are our unsung heroes,” he said. “I didn’t know what to expect from them. Trevonn didn’t play his first two years due to his commitment to baseball. Branden didn’t know if he would want to compromise his [Temple] football scholarship but once they both decided that they would play,

I knew we would instantly get better. They worked their tails off. They bought into the team concept, and Branden’s natural leadership skills started to shape the team. Trevonn’s natural ability allowed the staff to develop him into our best all-around offensive player.”

Even so, few people saw the Panthers knocking off Abington, especially with the backdrop of Abington’s packed and hostile crowd. It helped that the Ghosts missed 21 foul shots, and that Cheltenham made two free throws after Abington coach Charles Grasty received a technical foul in the fourth Continued on page 2

Hal Sparks brings socially

By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com If you only know Hal Sparks for his breakout role on “Queer As Folk,” you might want to catch up.

The actor, musician, activist, social commentator and comedian always has a number of projects going — whether it is his rock band Zero1, in which he sings and plays guitar, or his starring roles in “Lab Rats” for the Disney Channel.

Yes, it is a lot of plates to keep spinning, but Sparks said there was a time way back in the day when entertainers like Sammy Davis Jr. and the like were expected to do it all.

“It used to be that was what being an entertainer was: people who could dance, act and sing, everything,” he said. “That was the norm then and now it’s like, ‘pick one thing and stick to it because it’s really hard to sell you if a casting person doesn’t get you. That attitude has been to my detriment at times but it has also been to my benefit. It’s worked out because that’s how I ended up on ‘Queer As Folk.’ That’s how that played out. If I had just said yes to the first three things that were offered to me after I left ‘Talk Soup,’ I would have never gotten that opportunity to do ‘Queer As Folk’ and that was the winning thing.”

It turned out, Sparks said, that few candidates with any name recognition were willing to try out for the role, the lead character in the series that ran from 2000-05.

“They just saw me because nobody else would come in. Nobody would audition.

I was one of three people with a name that would come into the office that wouldn’t sneak in with a coat covering his face like they were on trial,” he said. “All those things are me. I don’t do standup. I am a standup. I don’t act. I’m an actor. I don’t do music. I’m a musician. Those are integral to who I am. You should be able to do all of it and you should be able to celebrate what you do. It

doesn’t make sense to hide who you are and what you do if you are fighting for everybody else to be open about who they are.”

Currently, Sparks is on the road and will bring his standup act to Philly for “The Selfie Tour,” at Helium Comedy Club through Feb. 14.

We’ll let him explain that title.

“A lot of what I’m talking about these days is futurism and narrow-

conscious humor to Philly casting as far as your life experiences, the self-imposed echo chamber that a lot of people happily crowbar themselves into,” he said. “Plus, if you notice in the [promo] picture, I’ve got my fingers crossed behind m y

back. A lot of people today are projecting an image that isn’t the full picture and they have more outlets to do it. That’s the philosophical answer.”

Prolific, sarcastic and deep — we like that in our comedian-actor-activists.

We asked Sparks what direction his comedy and activism is taking in today’s post-marriage-equality, politically charged climate.

“Obviously I don’t feel like we have to push the message of marriage equality anymore but rather pay equality and the ability to live comfortably and the more socially porous parts of life. Now that we’ve gotten past the cellblock version, which is, mechanically everybody has the same rights, then we have to move into the more malleable parts. And that part itself is where more comedy and drama lie,” he said. “Comedy and fear are very closely linked. Fear of new experiences and society moving on without you is a goldmine, dealing with that anxiety as a comedian. And it has to be. Once things start evening out, what we have to do is start working on living comfortably with each other.”

For example, Sparks referenced the Holocaust museum in Los Angeles, which is called the Museum of Tolerance.

“I think it should be the Museum of Understanding or something along those lines because tolerance is an arms-length word. I think gay people, especially over the last decade, have moved from a zone of alienation to tolerance and now to true integration.

And there are people who are even quite on board with the message who have a tolerant viewpoint, but not an immersive viewpoint. And I think that’s where we need to go as a people. I don’t believe in a version of equality or integration where people go, ‘Yeah, they are totally free to do whatever they want PAGE 24

over there. As long as it’s across the room, it’s totally cool.’ That’s not enough and it’s going to take us a while to get past that.

So that’s where the social movement lies.”

Sparks added that he isn’t worried about some of the homophobic rhetoric that is being bandied about by a number of the GOP presidential candidates and others.

“Those people represent an increasingly small group of human beings, a diminished group of humans,” he said.

“They are a freaking-out minority right now. Their fears are either going to be placated or ignored. They need to be reassured that their fears of Armageddon are not true, or they need to be ignored until they die off like every racist generation before them. It’s the nature of human growth: They age out of their phobias. I don’t view Republicans and Democrats in this country as half and half. You’re looking at 70-30, and that is increasingly true.

That’s one of the reasons someone like Donald Trump can get 30 percent of 30 percent. He’s got the name recognition of a 50-50 party, but in reality, mechanically, it is way smaller than that. He probably can’t win a national election.”

Sparks is confident that Hillary Clinton is going to be our next president (for the record, we talked to him before the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primaries happened). And he agreed with our predictions that, if that happens, sexism is going to see a huge resurgence, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the early 1900s.

“Hillary Clinton will do for gender relations what Barack Obama did for race relations in that he’s a flashpoint for our ailments,” he said. “I think Barack Obama is a transformative political candidate on the issue of race only because he is the one who let us know we have cancer, not because he was the cure. The cure is up to us. A lot of people thought, Oh, we’re fine. I have a mass in my gut but I’m OK.

And he’s the one who said ‘No, you have cancer. You need treatment.’ And then we go through that phase where people go, ‘No, I don’t have cancer. You have cancer.

You are cancer!’ I think Hillary will do the exact same thing for gender.”

Sparks, who is straight, said that being on ‘Queer As Folk’ attracted a more diverse audience to his standup comedy performances.

He said he makes a point of making sure the shows he does in comedy clubs don’t feature performers who have jokes that are at the expense of his LGBT fans.

“They know it’s a safe space comedy-wise,” Sparks said about his audiences.

“They know they can go to the show and not get slammed in that regard, either as an aside or as a central point in somebody’s act. I don’t let my openers do it. I hire my openers based on making sure that is true. I also think that’s why I have a lot of women in my audience. A lot of women come to my show because it’s not sexist and brutal.

It’s free flowing. I don’t tap dance around and play it safe just for them. I’m not politically correct; I’m just not a dick. You have to be conscious of other human beings. I don’t need to be told what the right word is. I understand in talking about someone how to speak about them. Ethically, it’s important to me. I have to stay true to who I am ethically.” n Hal Sparks performs through Feb. 14 at Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Sansom St. For more information or tickets, call 215-4969001 or visit www.halsparks.com.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT PGN LISTINGS

In search of the Poison Cookie: John Jarboe explores the far fringes of queer cabaret

By Gary L. Day PGN Contributor About seven years ago, a young actor named John Jarboe settled in Philadelphia intent on pursuing a career in the performing arts. And it was about five years ago that Jarboe reassessed where he was going and what he was doing and embarked on a

career trajectory more extraordinary, more creative, more queer than many could have imagined. What that trajectory has led him to is the Get Pegged Cabaret.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Jarboe became a devotee of cabaret. He admits that in the past five years, “I have found a real creative home in cabaret — queer cabaret in particular.” However, let’s be clear: What Jarboe means when he talks about cabaret is not what most people mean when they talk about cabaret.

“My interest is in cabaret in its fullest, most dangerous sense,” he continued, making reference as an example to German cabaret of the 1920s and ’30s that strove to be scabrous as well as scandalous — and more than a little queer.

What most people think of when someone mentions cabaret is its more traditional, genteel form with the audience sitting around small tables sipping cocktails while chanteuses like Barbara Cook belt out show tunes and standards. While Jarboe is familiar with this form, it is not the sort of cabaret he is interested in creating; rather, he wants audiences to feel a little insecure and possibly a bit afraid of what they may be subjected to in the course of an evening’s performance.

Jarboe’s current career status follows two completely different trajectories. One is that he is becoming increasingly familiar in Philadelphia as a mainstream actor, having been onstage at some of the city’s largest and most respected venues, such as the Walnut Street Theatre, the Wilma Theater and others on that level. The other is, of course, his cabaret work. Jarboe’s first major success in creating his own shows was his co-founding of the Bearded Ladies Cabaret, whose next show will be at the Fringe Festival later this year.

It was his continuing work with the Bearded Ladies that helped to hone Jarboe’s transgressive voice, so that when the folks at FringeArts contacted him about expanding the role of cabaret at their space, he was ready to take the next step in his evolutionary exploration of the form. He was ready to “re-weaponize it” — that is, come up with shows that are dangerously queer as well as outrageous and fun, and possibly even politically threatening.

Once a month, Jarboe and his roster of guest artists take over La Peg at FringeArts and apply their mad creative alchemy to the space and — voilà! — we have the Get Pegged Cabaret, in search of what Jarboe characterizes as “the poison cookie” — defined by them as material that is “tempting and treacherous, pleasing and perilous.”

Each month’s program is hosted and co-curated (with the FringeArts staff) by Jarboe done up as a sparkly gender-queer emcee from some dark nightmarish scenario dreamed up by Joel Grey on Ecstasy. A different roster of guest artists play every month, consisting of, as Jarboe says, “some of the most talented and dangerous, outrageous and fun performers from Philadelphia, New York and around the world.”

February’s guests include Martha Stuckey (Red 40 fame), local performer Christ Davis and Dena Underwood (a jazz vocalist who performs at Tavern on Camac). March will feature New York’s Carol Lipnik; April will include Bourgeois & Maurice, a neo-cabaret act from London; May will bring singer and drag performer Joey Arliss; and June will feature New York cabaret artist Erin Markey.

Jarboe continues to speak with enthusiasm and excitement about what people can expect to experience at the Get Pegged Cabaret. He notes the crucial word is “experience.”

“People aren’t just going to be passive observers to this show,” Jarboe proclaimed with no small amount of mischievous glee.

“They will not be allowed to be passive.

They are going to be sung to, danced around, made fun of; their personal space will be repeatedly violated.” n Get Pegged Cabaret, hosted and co-curated by John Jarboe, plays 10:30 p.m. on the third Friday of the month (Feb. 19, March 18, April 22*, May 20 and June 17) at La Peg Brasserie at FringeArts, 140 N.

“It’s very close,” he said. “The woman who wrote the movie also wrote the musical. It translates very well to the stage. They added a few more songs just so they could delve more into the hearts of Belle and the Beast and some other characters. But it’s the same story and the same characters, just a little bit richer and deeper, which I think we all crave from the movie.”

Grindrod added that, aside from being a classic fairy tale, the show offers a message of acceptance that audiences of all ages can appreciate.

“I think the theater community has always been accepting to a bunch of different kinds of people and celebrating their differences,” he said. “The show especially just pinpoints it and says DAVID GRINDROD you can’t judge a person based on their appearance. That’s the Beast. On the other hand, we have Belle and the whole opening number is the entire village discussing how beautiful this girl is but she’s so strange because she likes to read.

Tredici Enoteca: a big deal with small plates

By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com You have to practice saying “Tredici Enoteca” about two or three times before it rolls off the tongue with any amount of ease. But take the time to learn the name, because you’re going to want to recommend this place.

Situated directly across from its sister restaurant Zavino, Tredici (means “Thirteen” in Italian), 114 S. 13th St., is a bright space where you can easily co-mingle casual and semiformal sensibilities in a comfortable, stylish wine bar with a menu featuring Italian-inspired tapas and sharable dishes.

Tredici’s wine menu is impressive but its food game is strong too. This restaurant isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel with its menu. Dishes are just done simply and effectively without a lot of extraneous elements complicating things. The tuna crudo ($12) was light and delicate with bright flavors. The fried goat cheese ($9) was rich and decadent with charred tomatoes giving the dish an added pop.

The entrées at Tredici don’t try to impress with massive portions or numerous bells and whistles either. They win you over with great flavors and flawless execution. The three-cheese ravioli ($10) is a prime example. The meticulously presented line of ravioli is dressed with just the right amount of sauce and some basil.

But it was easily one of the best pasta dishes we’ve had in recent memory. The flavors were bold for something with such a relaxed and assured presentation. A close second was the lamb reginetti ($15), somewhat more involved with tender braised lamb and mint ricotta widening the palette of flavors, but it still maintains an effective sense of simple elegance. The hangar steak ($18) was another winner, juicy and perfectly cooked with onions, mushrooms and an excellent red-wine reduction.

Welcome to the Gayborhood, Tredici.

Herban Quality Eats has graduated from catering and health dishes to giving University City a convenient and relatively cost-effective alternative to fast food with its new cafeteria-style eatery, Herban, 3601 Market St. Already doing a brisk business with students on the go, Herban’s menu has three categories that diners can customize to their liking: plates, salads and “snacketizers.” Most will gravitate towards the plates and salads. The plates have four components: a base (rice, kale or noodles), a protein (chicken, steak, salmon or the vegan “jawn”), a choice of two sides and a choice of sauces, ranging from the tame to the spicy. The vegan “jawn” (a patty concoction with quinoa forming the bulk of it) has a great consistency and texture that both vegans and carnivores can appreciate.

Herban’s skills in cooking up a respectable portion of steak exceeded expectations too.

Fresh, wholesome ingredients are Herban’s strength but the real magic is in the sauces. All three options have their charms, but the walnut coriander sauce has

the best balance of complexity and spice that goes well with whatever protein you choose. Herban’s salads are well thoughtout as well. The Spruce salad is a lovely mix of kale, feta cheese, pecans and pears.

Hopefully, Herban and the people who stop in for a healthy bite will live long and prosper. n

Suzi Nash

Mandy Rosenbaum and Liz Hecht: First wedded Valentine’s Day, decades in the making After waiting 22 years to be legally wed, Mandy Rosenbaum and Liz Hecht didn’t want to short-change themselves in any area of the celebration.

Finding a rabbi to perform the ceremony was easy and finding a venue was a snap, but finding a ketubah — the Jewish document that signifies a marriage contract between two people — proved harder to come by.

Fortunately, the good folks at the National Museum of American Jewish History came to the rescue.

PGN: Where do you hail from?

MR: I spent most of my formative years in Central Jersey.

PGN: Family?

MR: My father was a college administrator and my mother is a retired CPA. I have an older sister who lives in Florida now and she’s a rocket scientist. She does a lot of work at the Kennedy Space Station. She’s my claim to fame.

PGN: Have you been there?

MR: Yes, it’s amazing. They have this exhibit where you watch a video all about the space program and then this huge door comes up and suddenly the space shuttle is in front of you, the real thing! It’s an incredible, interactive museum.

PGN: What were some of the things you liked to do in school?

MR: I was a good girl. I was in community-service organizations, the National Honor Society, I worked on the school newspaper — all the geeky stuff.

PGN: What steered you towards law?

MR: When I was a little kid, everyone told me I should be a lawyer. I was constantly arguing about what wasn’t fair and what I thought was right. I always took on the underdog’s point of view. It was almost inevitable but I didn’t really see it until I was in college.

PGN: Where did you go to school?

MR: I went to Hamilton College in upstate New York.

PGN: What was the worst snow you encountered there?

MR: I can’t remember because it seemed like it was always snowing there. It was piled up from October through April, snow on top of snow, but it never stopped anything. We never had a delayed or canceled class because they were equipped to deal with it. It was great, we used to cross-country ski across the campus. We made the most of it … I wasn’t as adverse to the cold as I am now! After that, I went

to the American University in D.C., and that’s where I met Liz. PGN: Hi, Liz. So tell me a little bit about you.

LH: I was born in Milwaukee, Misc., and then we moved to Grand Rapids, Mich.

PGN: Being from Milwaukee, was it mandatory to like “Laverne and Shirley”?

LH: [Laughs] No, but I did like it, even though I was very young. But I spent most of my time in Grand Rapids.

PGN: Tell me about it.

LH: It was very suburban, really beautiful, two lakes right there. It was pretty homogeneous. I think we had maybe one student of color in my class so it was a little limiting that way. It was a nice time in history where kids could play outside. I could ride my bike around the neighborhood and go door to door by myself to sell candy bars for band and not have to worry about … [laughs]. Well, I’m sure there were ax murderers and child molesters back then too, but we didn’t know or think about it as much. It was a nice place to grow up. There were four of us kids and our house was the one where all the kids came to play.

PGN: What was a favorite thing to do?

LH: I loved photography and took a lot of pictures. I won a couple of local photo contests and was in the paper. I was in the photo club at boarding school and founded a sports photography magazine. I loved sports and photography so it was a great merger.

PGN: What’s your favorite photo, the one you would have blown up and put on the mantle?

LH: It’s not on my mantle but I have it in my office: It’s a picture of graffiti in an alley in New Hampshire. It’s black and white and there’s snow and tin and a lot of contrasts and interesting lines. I’m proud of a lot of my work, but that one really inspires me.

[Laughs] Sometimes I look at it and think, Oh wow, look at what I used to be able to do.

PGN: And what do you do now?

LH: I’m an attorney as well: in-house counsel for a drug company, GlaxoSmithKline.

I’m mostly involved in the biotech side, therapeutic proteins, antibodies and platform technology.

PGN: So what was your coming-out experience like?

LH: It’s funny, now looking back I realize I was in love with my freshman roommate, also straight. Most of my friends were boy crazy and I had a few boyfriends in high school and college but I don’t know, I never

really felt like I was … I preferred to concentrate on my academics and sports, which were very important to me, more important than the guys I dated. Then I went to law school and met Mandy. We were friends and by the spring of the second year we were hanging out a lot. She was so sweet. She would bring me a little something every time she came over: ground coffee or some little thoughtful gift. It was really nice. I was developing a big crush but didn’t really know what was going on with me. I finally said to her, “You know, I can’t eat. I can’t sleep/ I feel like I can’t think straight,” and she replied, “You better get that checked out.” Then she professed her crush on me one night after we were studying in the law library. We went back to my place and got Chinese food and a bottle of wine and we both admitted our feelings. I told her I didn’t know what was going on because I’d always been with men, whereas she’d come out

I’d explode! So 10 minutes before she was about to announce her crush on me, I opened my big mouth and had to say something. To this day, I wish I’d let her say it first, but it’s worked out pretty well. My coming-out was mostly in my head. I think I knew as a teenager but I managed to put it out of my head for a really long time. In college, I figured it out and decided that I would come out when I went to law school. Once I got there, I came out with a force. I came out to friends and family. Once that door was open, I was not going to suffocate inside anymore. When Liz met me, I was the big out dyke on campus, which is why I was hesitant to tell her my feelings about her before she said something.

PGN: So was there a proposal?

LH: It’s funny. We were having dinner the summer of 2013 after the Windsor decision and Mandy blurted out, “I’d appreciate it if you proposed to me.” And I was like, “How do you know I don’t want you to propose to me? Like, how does this work?” But I thought, OK, I can do this.

We had a trip planned to go hiking in Europe. We had rings that we’d traded on our 10th anniversary and I knew she wouldn’t want another so I bought a diamond heart pendant [Mandy pulls it out] and I proposed to her at the top of a mountain in Switzerland. I found a beautiful lookout and asked her, “Mandy will you marry me?” She looked at me and said, “Is this a proposal?”

And I was like, “Well yes, but if you can’t figure it out, I guess it’s not a very good one. Does ‘Will you marry me?’ have another meaning in a different culture?” I asked her again and she got all happy and said yes. I think we were a little jet-lagged, which led to the confusion. We had a big engagement party in June of 2014.

Photo: Laurie Beck Peterson already. I told her that I liked MR: Our loved ones had her and was attracted to her, but been bugging us for decades didn’t know if she wanted to take the gamble. to do something — commitment ceremony, etc. — but we didn’t want to have an actual PGN: So what’s your side of the story, wedding until we could be legally married Mandy? and we thought that wouldn’t happen for a MR: I too was not sleeping or eating and long time. So we had an engagement party. was just waiting for her to say something.

Who knew things would happen so quickly I knew that she hadn’t been with a woman in Pennsylvania? The decision to allow gay and I didn’t want to be … I just wanted to marriage in Pennsylvania came down a see where things would go. [Laughs] But month before the party so we ended up havI was getting to the point where I thought ing a big engagement PAGE 30

PORTRAIT from page 29

party and a wedding the next year, September of 2015.

PGN: So what’s the ketubah story?

MR: We wanted to have a small wedding, mostly family, in the city. If you haven’t been there, the Museum of American Jewish History is just gorgeous. We both knew we wanted to have it there if possible and they were incredibly accommodating. A ketubah is basically a religious wedding contract.

It means something under Jewish law as opposed to U.S. law. They’re really beautiful and artful but most of them were made for husband and wife or LGBT commitment ceremonies. We wanted language that reflected marriage between two women. We waited 22 years to be legally wed and wanted our ketubah to show that. The museum was so nice that we called them for help and a woman there went through all their catalogs and picked out every single one that had marriage for same-sex couples in the language.

[Laughs] Unfortunately, we didn’t care for any of those designs! We did see one that we liked and asked if it were possible to have it custom-made for us. She was amazing and called the artist herself, who agreed to make one just for us. Everyone involved went above and beyond for us.

LH: They really were incredible. The dedication and hard work to make our wedding perfect was wonderful.

PGN: When I did a kids’ show years ago, I did several remote segments from the old museum but I haven’t been to the new place.

MR: Oh, it’s beautiful and they do a lot of stuff with the LGBT community. Roberta Kaplan — the lead counsel in the recent Supreme Court marriage case, she represented Edie Windsor — is a guest speaker in March and they’ve done a number of LGBT forums. The exhibits also include many LGBT facets.

PGN: A highlight from the wedding?

LH: It was the most amazing five hours of my life. It’s hard to choose one part. Mandy was so gorgeous that night in her beautiful red dress. She blew me away. I remember we were slow dancing and I thought, Wow, I need to burn this into my memory. The way she looked at me, everything.

PGN: Do you feel different now?

MR: I don’t. The only thing I notice is that, sadly, it feels like we get more validation from the straight world. I’m still struggling with the word “wife,” but when I do use it, people respond differently. They seem to accept it, Like, OK, we’ve got it. I’m validated more and it shouldn’t be that way.

LH: If I say “my wife” when talking to a doctor’s office or business, it has more force behind it than “my partner” — especially since we’re both lawyers, it was confusing.

For me, I do feel different; there’s more permanence. It sounds bad, but it feels like when you’re married, it’s harder to extricate yourself, so it feels like more of a commitment.

MR: There is one other way it feels different.

Something happened in our ceremony that

PGN

I didn’t expect. There was something from within that came out for both of us. I think I didn’t realize how much I edit my behavior, especially in front of family and other people, despite them being very supportive. Standing there with Liz, our emotions were completely raw and unedited and it felt so freeing.

Having done that, things do feel different, like now I can be truly me.

PGN: Randoms. What’s a favorite family tradition?

LH: Thanksgiving is a really big deal in my family. When Mandy lived in Sweden for a year, she brought home gravlax, which is a delicious salmon delicacy. My family loved it so much that we bring it regularly now and it’s cool because she became part of our family traditions because of it.

PGN: Whose diary would you want to read?

MR: If Terry Gross wrote her diary and included all the people she interviewed, that would be heaven. I love to read memoirs anyway and I’m obsessed with Terry Gross. I’d be her stalker if I had the courage.

PGN: Best and worst parts of your bat mitzvah?

LH: I had one, Mandy didn’t. It was great, I felt so much love and support and pride.

I don’t know how much you know but it’s a big deal, and tough. I spent nine months studying. People think it’s fun because you have a big party with lots of friends and presents, which is great, but it’s a lot of work too.

You become an adult in the eyes of the community and I felt like one. I loved being able to lead the service, reading the Hebrew and making my family proud.

PGN: What was an egregious case that comes to mind?

MR: I worked on a case for an abortion provider who was zoned out of business. It was a civil-rights case and the kind of thing you go to law school for. We were very happy with the way it turned out.

PGN: Ever face any blatant antigay discrimination?

MR: Aside from the occasional “dyke” when walking down the street that most of us have faced, nothing blatant. When we moved to the suburbs, nothing was said to our face, but I think some people had issues with it. Which was surprising because Bryn Mawr College is right behind us, so we thought it would be more progressive.

LH: We’ve found more anti-Semitism than anything. And maybe some heterosexism — people assuming I have a husband — but that’s not quite the same as harassment.

MR: I think the worst we get is the two-toned “oh.” That, “oh … OH!” For the most part, I think people are evolving with the rest of the world. n For more information on the National Museum of American Jewish History, visit www.nmajh.org.

Brian had his HIV under control with medication. But smoking with HIV caused him to have serious health problems, including a stroke, a blood clot in his lungs and surgery on an artery in his neck. Smoking makes living with HIV much worse.

You can quit.

HIV alone didn’t cause the clogged artery in my neck.

Smoking with HIV did.
