Philly Pride Presents names Pennsylvania’s first LGBTQ-friendly grand marshals youth housing facility opens State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta and former Pennsylvania The majority of the Gloria Casarez Residence’s governor Edward Rendell are among the nine selected tenants identify as LGBTQ

By Laura Smythe laura@epgn.com At Philadelphia’s annual Pride celebration, Celena Morrison can typically be spotted coordinating volunteers and orchestrating tabling for the William Way LGBT Community Center.

This year, she’ll take on a different role.

Morrison is one of nine people that Philly Pride Presents, the organizer of the city’s Pride, has announced as Grand Marshals for PrideDay 2019.

“This is going to be a whole new experience,” said Morrison, William Way’s director of programs, adding she has always been curious about the role of a grand marshall.

Others receiving the honor include State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta; former Pennsylvania governor Edward Rendell;

Tatyana Woodard, the community health engagement coordinator at Mazzoni Center; and Julia Fahl, the first out mayor of Lambertville, N.J. During Rendell’s eight-year stint as governor and more-than 30-year career in public office, he was committed to passing nondiscrimination legislation and employing out staffers.

Kenyatta is a North Philadelphia native and Pennsylvania’s first out state legislator of color.

“It’s an honor to lead off a celebration that marks the proud history of LGBTQ people in Philadelphia, and acknowledge the accomplishments we have made in every aspect of society — government, business, sports and culture and more,” Rep. Kenyatta wrote in an email to PGN. “Being an elected official, it is also an opportunity to celebrate some of the PAGE 23

James Allen came out as bisexual at age 13, only to experience extreme verbal and emotional abuse from family members. At times, he said, he considered suicide.

At age 19, he spent a year in transitional housing. At 20, he received a key to his own apartment at the Gloria Casarez Residence in “a full-circle moment.” “[It’s] a large weight off my shoulders,” Allen said. “It makes me so joyful to walk into my apartment every day after work and school and feel gratitude. This is my domain. This is a place where I can express myself how I want to and be happy.”

Local housing nonprofit Project HOME hosted the grand opening of its Gloria

Casarez Residence, Pennsylvania’s first LGBTQ-friendly permanent supportive housing facility, on Tuesday, although Allen moved in March 19. The residence, on 8th Street near Master, offers 30 apartments to youth ages 18-23 who are aging out of foster care, at risk of experiencing homelessness or are currently or have previously experienced homelessness. The building’s courtyard is also available for community arts events and advocacy committee meetings.

Of the 28 people currently living at the residence, 18 identify as LGBTQ, PGN verified with Project HOME representatives. An additional LGBTQ-identifying tenant is expected as well.

Breaking silence on hidden trauma Part two of a two-part series about domestic violence and LGBTQ relationships

By Victoria A. Brownworth PGN Contributor

“He liked seeing me cry,” Chantal says.

Her voice is unwavering, with no hint of tears. Even in the slightly disjunctive images of Skype, Chantal seems calm as she tells the story of how, for three years, her boyfriend abused her verbally and physically, and how hard it was for her to leave him.

Like all the victim/survivors interviewed for this series, Chantal spoke on condition of anonymity.

“He messed up enough of my life. He does not get any more of it.”

Now 29, Chantal has been openly trans since she was 18. She lives with her grandmother, works in retail clothing design and is taking design classes at Philadelphia University. She wanted to talk about the epidemic of violence against trans women of color and how she

“almost became a statistic.”

A tall, mixed-race woman with striking cheekbones and the elan of a model, Chantal met her boyfriend at a small fashion event that one of her friends had organized.

“Let’s just call him Dick, OK?” she laughs, as she details how he complimented her on her outfit and she flirted with him. “I really liked him right away. I fell quick and I fell hard.”

When Dick and Chantal met, she was trying to crowd-fund a clothing line, and he had offered to help. Soon, she said, she was dependent on him financially.

“I really wanted a prince — I needed a prince — and he was so kind to me,” she said, recounting how Dick’s concern for her became more and more controlling.

He didn’t want her doing fashion shows, even at school. He checked her phone regularly for texts. He told her what to wear.

“But he loved me, I knew he loved me, and I loved him,” she said.

The love part, Chantal said, was what kept her with him after the first time he shoved her and she fell.

Zeta Phi Beta issues revised national policy welcoming transgender women

By Michele Zipkin PGN Contributor

The historically black sorority Zeta Phi Beta Incorporated issued a “diversity statement” in January that stated, “an individual must be a cis-gender woman” to join.

After facing backlash and hearing community criticisms, the organization released an updated policy on Sunday.

In the statement to Essence magazine, a representative from the sorority apologized for the previous policy, and indicated that transgender women are currently part of the organization: “Since our founding on January 16, 1920, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., has sought to create a sorority that embraces and values all of our members.

Sadly, a previous diversity statement made by our organization fell short of that goal and for that, we offer our deepest apologies.”

Zeta Phi Beta is still amending its national guidelines regarding membership.

Philadelphia resident Eran Sargent is a transgender woman and a member of the Blue and White Family, which encompasses members of both Zeta Phi Beta and its brother organization Beta Phi Sigma.

As such, Zeta Phi Beta’s updated policy is important to her.

“Their new policy I think is indicative of the changing times we are living in where there is more awareness for gender diversity, and specifically transgender inclusion,” Sargent said. “Trans women are women, so it makes sense to me that Zeta would be a leader in recognizing and celebrating inclusion.”

The organization began in 1920 at Howard University in Washington D.C., and includes over 100,000 members within 800 chapters in the U.S., Europe, Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. Five women started the sorority in order to bring about social change and create a sisterhood for black women.

“I think that if they would have continued with excluding trans women from membership, it would further perpetuate inequality, when that indeed goes against the purpose of these organizations,” Sargent said.

“If the goal is to address social problems, particularly within the black community, then being open to all women would send the message that this organization is in tune with gender equity and black liberation in 2019,” she continued.

As private organizations, fraternities and sororities are able to establish their own membership policies as they see fit.

The issue of whether a Greek organization allows trans members to join has become a crucial conversation in recent years. Members of the LGBTQ community have responded with resources for college groups, including fraternities and sororities.

One such resource is Campus Pride, a

nonprofit organization founded in 2001 “for and by student leaders,” with a mission to provide information and programs to educate and guide LGBTQ college students throughout the U.S. “One of the issues that Campus Pride has raised is making policies with regard to gender identity accessible and visible to individuals,” said Doug Case, coordinator of Campus Pride’s Lambda 10 Project.

As part of Campus Pride, the Lambda 10 Project is a national educational resource for LGBTQ issues relating to fraternities and sororities. Campus Pride is currently conducting a survey of fraternities and sororities on national and international levels to determine what their policies are in terms of potential LGBTQ members, including transgender and gender nonbinary folks.

Even though some fraternities and sororities have drawn up policies that address inclusion of LGBTQ members, such policies are not necessarily made readily available on organization websites.

“What Campus Pride has been doing is encouraging organizations to be explicit in their policies as to how they define gender,” Case said. “The organizations as private associations have a right to define gender as the organization chooses.”

Campus Pride provides sample fraternity and sorority policy statements that are inclusive of members regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. Included in those examples are definitions of those identities.

Case pointed out that a complicated issue has been how Greek organizations address nonbinary membership and policies. Within Campus Pride’s recommended policies is a sample section that includes nonbinary individuals in membership.

“Some national organizations have adopted Campus Pride recommendations virtually word for word,” Case said. “Our premise is that no student should be denied the opportunity to participate in fraternity and sorority life, and certainly not based upon their gender identity.”

Case advises the San Francisco chapter of Delta Lambda Phi, a fraternity for gay, bisexual, transgender and allied men, which was one of the first fraternities to welcome transgender people. In its current membership of about 20 to 25 members, one third of them identify as trans or nonbinary. The organization’s woman counterpart, Gamma Rho Lambda, which accepts all women regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity and race, was one of the first sororities to welcome transgender women.

On local levels, some colleges and universities are starting to educate their fraternities and sororities on national policy, including membership guidelines. At West Chester University, which has a chapter of Zeta Phi Beta, Director PAGE 23

The Lightbox Film Center needs a new home

By Laura Smythe laura@epgn.com

Normally around this time, Jesse Pires would be scheduling the Lightbox Film Center’s next year of programs.

But the chief curator’s 2020 vision is still a little foggy.

Last month, iconic nonprofit International House Philadelphia announced its decision to sell its building at 37th and Chestnut streets and revamp the organization’s focus.

The upcoming move raises questions for the Lightbox Film Center, the nonprofit’s trademark arts program with a long history of screening films highlighting the LGBTQ community.

Throughout June, the theater will run Queering the Lens, a series highlighting films made by queer artists like Barbara Hammer, Marlon Riggs and Su Friedrich.

The series begins June 13 with the premiere of “Queer Genius,” a film following four queer artists as they struggle with family, gender and sexuality.

“Often, marginalized groups that are making [films], they’re becoming radicalized at various periods, they’re really at the forefront of pushing a larger conversation forward,” said Pires, who has worked at Lightbox for 16 years. “So for me, it’s really exciting to dig back and find work that has strong resonance to a contemporary moment.”

The upcoming series commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. In showing LGBTQ films, the program aims to bring a community emphasis and facilitate discussions, said Sarah Christy, Lightbox’s managing director. “[LGBTQ media] is certainly a consistent line of our programming and really reflects our overall mission of providing a platform for works that otherwise would not be shown and have not historically been screened as much as they should,” she added.

The arts program shows an LGBTQfocused film about once every other month, Pires said. From April 26-27, the theater held the Hot Bits Queer XXX Film Festival, a sex-positive LGBTQ series.

In 2014, the theater hosted Free to Love: The Cinema of the Sexual Revolution, a series that explored how sex and sexuality were entering both mainstream and underground films. The event included works by queer filmmakers Jack Smith and Pat Rocco.

Pires hopes Lightbox Film Center’s LGBTQ media representation will prevail.

“I hope that it doesn’t slip away because I think that would be a tremendous loss,” Pires said. “It certainly is my goal to continue Lightbox, and I think we’re all working on that goal to make sure it continues onward.”

“It’s not going to be an exact replica of what we have now, but close to what we

have now, so our members and the audience can continue to rely on it as a source of really strong, unique cinema programming,” he added.

While Lightbox has been “a key part” of International House, a new home for the project could be a more logical fit, said International House president and CEO Josh Sevin. Selling the nonprofit’s building means the arts initiative has the opportunity to find a host organization better aligned with its mission, he said.

International House and Lightbox staff are “in conversation” with other arts organizations in the city to find the project a new venue and operator, Sevin added.

International House Philadelphia, which was founded more than 110 years ago, was created to ease the housing discrimination international students experienced in the city. It expanded to add an array of international and cultural programming, including the arts program.

Lightbox Film Center was originally known as The Neighborhood Film/Video Project. It was established in the 1970s and moved into International House in 1979.

In 1992, the program spurred the Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema before buckling down on year-round film programming in the latter half of the decade. It was rebranded as Lightbox Film Center in 2017.

Sevin said he envisions International House transitioning into a new type of multicultural hub once it vacates its University City location. The need for the organization’s specialized housing services has decreased as local universities have increased such offerings, he said.

Sevin’s vision includes a center where internationally focused organizations and nonprofits can coexist and collaborate on intercultural endeavors like immigration services, international education and global business and civic engagement.

International House will maintain full operation through December, Sevin said, in part to help the center through its transition. He added he is “optimistic” the arts program will find a new parent organization and hopes “it continues to be a place for both cinephiles and people who are just looking at art as a window onto the world...to challenge and provoke that as Philadelphia changes.”

Meanwhile, the staff at Lightbox Film Center is filled with a sense of “cautious optimism” that the progam’s mission will continue.

“There’s certainly a tremendous amount of support in the community,” Pires said.

“We’re really hoping that all that kind of goodwill and support translates into a new home and finding a way to keep pushing forward.” n

Largest Pride parade to shake Philly Pride announces 2019 performers up New Hope this weekend

By Laura Smythe laura@epgn.com More than 5,000 people are expected to fill the streets of New Hope, Pennsylvania on Saturday for the city’s 16th-annual Pride celebration.

The event will feature more than 800 parade marchers, its largest-ever participant count.

Organized by New Hope Celebrates, a nonprofit that highlights the town’s history and culture, the event will kick off at 11:30 a.m. with the Pride Parade in Lambertville, New Jersey. The procession will then cross the Delaware River into the small Bucks County town before culminating in PrideFest Fair Live at the unofficial “Pride Park” at the American Legion parking lot on New Street near South Maine.

The event stands out as a Pride celebration that spans two states, said Matt Hanson, the president of New Hope Celebrates. The parade will feature the organization’s 100-foot equality flag and a “come as you are” theme.

“We embrace and are inclusive of everyone,” Hanson said. “We’re not going to have any judgments. We want people to be who they are in our town and come visit us.”

Entertainment acts, including local indie-rock band Brother Eye, artist Josh Zuckerman, singer Stephanie Chinn, drag queen Ruby Roo and the Doylestown School of Rock, will perform on a covered outdoor stage. Most of the event’s performers are LGBTQ, Hanson said.

New Hope Celebrates volunteers will man a bar featuring cocktails made with Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Templeton Rye Whiskey, two of the event’s sponsors, along with beer donated by the local Triumph Brewing Company.

Local drag queens Cyannie Lopez and Ginger Alley, named Miss New Hope Celebrates 2017 and 2018, respectively, will also perform. Regional drag performers compete in the annual Miss New Hope Celebrates Pageant in categories like presentation, talent and evening gown. Recently-crowned 2019 pageant winner Miss Sapphira Cristal will also join the show.

New Hope is already “painted in rainbow” as shops and restaurants have been requesting pride flags every day, Hanson said, adding that community involvement — spanning from children to the elderly — is what makes the event special.

“When we come over that bridge and see hundreds of kids and families waving Pride flags and loving being a part of it, [that] is really the moment for us that’s special because it’s not about the party-

ing,” Hanson said. “It’s really about being a community and supporting each other.”

New Hope Celebrates Pride festivities kicked off last Saturday with the unfurling of a 25-foot, eight-color flag now stationed at the town’s Bridge and Main streets. One hundred Pride flags were also displayed on the New Hope and Lambertville Bridge.

New Hope Pride will be free, with a $5 suggested donation. Some proceeds will benefit the New Hope Eagle Fire Department.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. Hanson hopes attendees will leave New Hope’s festival with a sense of pride in the LGBTQ community.

“We have these celebrations, we have Pride because it’s important because we’re still fighting for rights, and we’re still fighting for recognition,” Hanson said. “It’s not over.

That’s why we still do it. n

The Road to Stonewall: Anita Cornwell

By Victoria A. Brownworth PGN Contributor Anita Cornwell had been an out lesbian for more than two decades when Stonewall happened. She had wandered the small streets of Greenwich Village in the 1940s-1950s and had written about her experiences in The Ladder, where she was the first black lesbian to write for the publication.

She also wrote about her experiences as a black woman in Negro Digest.

Negro Digest boldly referred to her as a lesbian — groundbreaking in the 1950s. Cornwell was one of the first black lesbian activists many Philadelphia LGBTQ people knew of in the early years, pre-Stonewall. Her presence was a constant over several decades at LGBTQ events.

In her iconic book Black Lesbian in White America, widely noted as the first

collection of essays by a black lesbian, Cornwell writes, “During that time, about the only visible Gays were the swaggering butch and the swishing faggot, who were about as welcome in that ‘genteel’ climate of the fifties as a grizzly bear. In fact, I do believe the bear would have had a decided advantage.�

She said of lesbians of her era, “We of the fifties (and the forties and on back to when) not only had to operate from the closet but, worse yet, most of us seemed to exist in a vacuum.�

A defiantly staunch feminist and, for a period of time, a lesbian separatist, Cornwell infused her politics into every local and national group to which she belonged. Hers were fierce and seductive politics, framed in a folksy, witty, charming banter that casually insinuated itself into the conversation until everyone was listen-

ing only to Anita Cornwell.

No one else was talking, and so she told the complex tale of being a black lesbian in white America. Cornwell was, above all, a raconteur. She told stories from every chapter of her life and every decade of gay and lesbian life.

She was a chronicler of her time.

And when she spoke, everyone listened.

The population of Greenwood, South Carolina was only 8,700 in 1923 when Cornwell was born there. A third of the population was black, but it was the height of Jim Crow laws and as Cornwell recounted in interviews, it was a time of tremendous poverty fueled by racism, “when integration was a term seen only in the dictionary.�

She told Philadelphia historian Marc Stein that there would have been no knowledge of gayness in that environment — that

it was like another century. She said she first became aware she was attracted to women in her teens but didn’t come out until she met other lesbians after college in the late 1940s.

Her family moved to Yeadon, then Philadelphia, when Cornwell was 16 — after she had attended the New York World’s Fair in 1939 with her grandmother.

After graduating with a journalism degree from Temple University in 1948, Cornwell worked for local area newspapers, including the Philadelphia Tribune and the Bulletin.

She wrote poetry and essays and published her work in a range of lesbian and feminist publications from 1950-80, among them Feminist Review, Labyrinth, Azalea: A Magazine by Third-World Lesbians and BLACK/OUT — which was published in Philadelphia and edited by Philadelphia PAGE 20

New national conference brings Latinx, queer issues to Philly

By Erin Moran PGN Contributor

Since its founding five years ago, Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement, an organization that advocates for queer Latinx communities, has been working on the ground to educate, organize and ultimately liberate queer, Latinx immigrants.This weekend, from May 15 through 17, the national organization comes to Philadelphia for its first national conference: Mi Existires es Resistir 2019 National Encuentro.

Emilio Vicente, the communications manager for Familia TQLM and an organizer of the conference, said the “powerful” weekend will bring together 150 trans or queer Latinx activists and advocates from across the country for a weekend of lectures and presentations, networking and celebrating.

“There aren’t many spaces like this for the trans and queer Latinx community,” he said. “For many of the people coming this weekend, I think they’re going to resonate with having a space for us.

“All of this is personal to me because I’m undocumented and I’m queer,” he added.

“And I’ve never been to a space like this.”

The goal of the conference is to provide space for organizations to share strategies in a collaborative way — to learn and bring new ideas back to their respective communities. Familia hopes to achieve this by hosting three days of workshops about arts and culture, online and grassroots organizing, transformative justice and healing, trans and queer rights and racial justice.

“It’s an opportunity to meet other people across the country, be in solidarity and bring back what we learned to our own communities,” Vicente said.

But, he said, it’s also a celebration of the organization’s fifth birthday and successes

thus far. Familia played a large part in the closing of Santa Ana Jail’s module for trans migrants, and they’re ready to celebrate that “win” as they look for new ways to grow.

Right now, Familia is on the ground in 12 cities across the country.

“Overall, the east coast is the coast we want to focus on more in general,” he said. “We have a strong presence on the west coast, but obviously these issues face individuals across the country.”

“We chose Philadelphia [for the conference] because there is already a strong base here of people working with trans and queer immigrants,” he added.

Following the conference, Familia will bring its fight to Washington, D.C. when the organization rallies for Roxana Hernandez, a trans migrant who died in ICE custody last May. Familia organized a congressional briefing and a week of action, and Vicente said the organization is looking for ways to get the Philadelphia community involved.

The conference this weekend, he hopes, will be a good opportunity to organize the local east coast communities for future collaborations.

The conference’s events will take place across three venues: Taller Puertorriqueño, the William Way LGBT Community Center and the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown.

Events include a plenary lecture, three workshops, a movie screening and Q&A, a drag brunch and an after party hosted by SEXx Philly.

“In general, the reason we exist is we want to ensure that people see that trans and queer issues, immigration issues and Latinx issues are not isolated,” Vicente said. “All of us have multiple identities.”

At the end of the day, our goal is for liberation and full acceptance of our communities across the country, and that all of our communities feel safe wherever they live.” n

Conservatives align against Equality Act

By Victoria A. Brownworth PGN Contributor With President Trump and other conservatives in strong opposition, the Equality Act is no nearer passage than it was before Democrats regained the House in the November 2018. A House vote will ensure that those voting for and against make a statement, but the Senate does not have the votes to pass it, and Trump would apparently veto it.

The Equality Act is a bill in the United States Congress that, if passed, would amend the Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, public education, federal funding, credit and the jury system.

The Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus was established in 2008 by Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), the first out LGBTQ person ever elected to the Congress, then a House member, and former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA). The caucus currently has 161 House members — all Democrats. The caucus now has the most members in its history, among them seven Pennsylvanians, including all four women elected in 2018.

Despite the volume of Caucus members, it will be 2021 — if Democrats hold the House and regain the Senate — before a chance comes to pass the bill that has, in one form or another, come before the Congress nearly every year since 1976. Not one Republican in Congress supports the Equality Act. On May 13, a senior Trump official said the president did not support the Equality Act. During his 2016 campaign, Trump declared he would support the LGBTQ community. On June 14, 2016, two days after the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, which killed 49 people and wounded 51 others, Trump tweeted, “Thank you to the LGBT community! I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs.”

Trump was referencing the alleged affiliation between the Pulse shooter, Omar Mateen, and ISIS. During his presidency Trump has instituted a ban against trans persons serving in the military, supported bathroom bills (after saying during his campaign that Caitlyn Jenner was welcome to use the bathrooms in the Trump Hotel), instructed his former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to disallow discrimination cases based on sexual orientation or gender identity to be heard under Title VII and hired numerous members of the Family Research Council, an anti-gay hate group founded by the father of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who has herself disallowed trans students’ use of bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity in the schools.

Trump has been a proponent of religious freedom laws that have targeted and discriminated against the LGBTQ community. At the CPAC conference in March, both Trump and Vice president Pence endorsed religious free-

dom bills.

According to a May 13 exclusive by the Washington Blade that has been reported on throughout mainstream media, the senior official said, “The Trump administration absolutely opposes discrimination of any kind and supports the equal treatment of all; however, this bill in its current form is filled with poison pills that threaten to undermine parental and conscience rights.”

This stance contravenes Trump’s earlier position when running for president as a Reform Party candidate in 2000. At that time Trump said, “I like the idea of amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include a ban of discrimination based on sexual orientation. It would be simple. It would be straightforward.

We don’t need to rewrite the laws currently on the books, although I do think we need to address hate-crimes legislation. But amending the Civil Rights Act would grant the same protection to gay people that we give to other Americans — it’s only fair.”

Sen. Tammy Baldwin, one of two openly LGBTQ members of the Senate, told NBC News, “No American should be at risk of being fired, evicted from their home or denied services because of who they are or whom they love. The bipartisan Equality Act will move our country forward and the Trump administration’s opposition to it highlights how important it is to take back the White House in 2020.”

The Heritage Foundation, a renowned conservative think tank, claimed in a detailed statement on May 14 that the Equality Act would “force employers and workers to conform to new sexual norms or else lose their businesses and jobs.”

In a statement, Sarah Kate Ellis, the president and CEO of the national LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD, said Trump’s opposition to the Equality Act “further cements his administration’s legacy of being the most anti-LGBTQ government in recent memory. LGBTQ Americans will not forget the President’s politically craven flip-flop on this fair and just legislation.”

Evangelical leader and Trump supporter Rev. Pat Robertson said May 14 while discussing the Equality Act on his TV show on the Christian Broadcasting Network that the law would be “a devastating blow to religious freedom and to the sanctity of America. If you want to bring the judgment of God on this nation, you just keep this stuff up.”

Robertson said, “I was reading in Leviticus where it says because of these things the land ‘will vomit you out.’ Vomit you out. I think God will say, ‘I’ve had it with America if you do this kind of stuff, I’m going to get rid of you as a nation.’”

The Mormon Church, also known as the LDS, released its own statement in opposition on May 13, stating, “The Equality Act would threaten religious employment standards, devastate religious education” and “defund numerous religious charities.”

At press time, the House vote is scheduled for May 17, irrespective of opposition. n

Creep of the Week

D’Anne Witkowski

Trump administration

Endorsements The LGBTQ community has a wealth of out candidates and allied incumbents running for office.

We at PGN do not endorse based solely on sexual orientation. Each candidate is judged on several factors, including their past support of our community’s equality and civil rights, the level of that support, their ability to create a political base, their experience, and their ability to do the job if elected.

This is also a historic election with a trans woman and trans man as viable candidates: One for City Council at-Large and the other for judge.

We also must recognize the community’s struggle to grasp new issues of equality. The Independence Business Alliance has made us aware of economic inequality, and Liberty City has made us aware of political inequality within the progressive spectrum. These are new issues where endorsements should play a role. And in one race, City Council at-large, all of these points came together.

Here are PGN’s endorsements for the May 21, 2019 primary election: Mayor Jim Kenney #31 City Council at-Large Incumbents Derek Green and Helen Gym have a good record as LGBTQ allies, but they’ve not been insistent that at least one of the 17 Council members be from the LGBTQ community.

There are two LGBTQ candidates at the top of the ballot this year. Adrián Rivera-Reyes is a relative newcomer to the community, and we look forward to his continued involvement. The other candidate, Deja Lynn Alvarez is a trans

woman who has all the qualities one would expect of a Council person. She has worked with the most disadvantaged in our city and at times took the money out of her pocket to keep them afloat.

She has worked with Council on legislation and is a community organizer.

With no LGBT representation on Council, we strongly endorse Reyes and Alvarez. We believe that both have a good chance of being elected, and we need to give them every opportunity.

This community has made the difference for candidates in previous elections, and we need to come out in full force for our LGBTQ candidates this year.

Vote for those two only, unless you feel strongly about another Council candidate.

Adrián Rivera-Reyes #54 Deja Lynn Alvarez #55 Judge of the Superior Court Daniel D. McCaffery #2 Amanda Green-Hawkins #3 Judge of the Court of Common Pleas Henry McGregor Sias #21 Tiffany Palmer #23 Carmella Jacquinto #24 Judge of the Municipal Court David H. Conroy #29 City Council 2nd District There is only one district Council race where an LGBTQ candidate or issue is on the ballot. District 2 pits incumbent Kenyatta Johnson against our newcomer Lauren Vidas. The issues in the district are gentrification, development and the soda tax.

dangerously wrong. Not his views, but his actions and behavior. Since he takes every opportunity he can to say that he represents this community, he embarrasses us all.

We of the LGBT community should be asking more from those who represent us. We have to ask the question, was this just a publicity stunt gone wrong? Brian is no longer the only LGBT-elected or -appointed public official. We are lucky to have younger leaders like Malcolm Kenyatta and Amber Hikes, and people like Deja Alvarez, Henry Sias, Tiffany Palmer, Dan Anders and many others.

In the past, some members of our community put Brian on a pedestal. Those on pedestals are likely to fall, and this time he certainly did. Can he dust himself off and rise again? One former union leader, prochoice Democratic woman commentator stated: “I hope that an old white women runs against him in the primary… and I’ll vote for her.”

Should he resign? That’s a decision for him, not for you and me. We can only express our opinions. I’m sure someone in the district will take that commentator’s advice and run against him in the next primary, and at that point we’ll decide if he deserves another chance and an endorsement. In other words: he gets no more free passes. n

Antar T. Bush

Electability: Blue no matter who The biggest challenge for liberals is that we don’t understand the difference between passion and practicality. For instance, I have so much passion for presidential candidates such as Kamala “Mommala” Harris, and Pete “the fleet” Buttigieg. However, in the primary, I am not going with my passion, I am going with the practical one — the old white man in the room, Joe Biden. I know what this sounds like, but if you are a person of color in the United States you may know what I am talking about. When I was a princess before I became a great queen, my grandmother would always say: “Antar, you have to do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.”

Under the Trump administration, the United States of America sits on the precipice of a constitutional Armageddon. I watch CNN and other media outlets pick each democratic candidate apart piece by piece; covering lofty topics like repara-

tions for African Americans, voting while incarcerated, Joe Biden getting too close for comfort, and the Green New Deal.

None of this shit is going to happen no matter who the Democratic presidential candidate is — this is pandering 101. It appears that all everyone cares about is a good sound bite or who has the best clapback, none of which put an extra dime in any of our pockets.

Look, I know as much as anyone what’s been said when news pundits state the word “electability.” It essentially means who is white Midwestern person going to vote for — those that have very little contact with people of color. In a Monmouth poll, a large number of Democratic voters are putting more emphasis on “electability” rather than a candidate’s stance on the issues in the 2020 Presidential election. However, the problem is that the poll didn’t quite define what “electabil-

ity” actually means. In April 2019, The Washington Post said “Joe Biden begins his presidential campaign with a lead over the crowded Democratic field and a simple message the nation can immediately grasp: ‘I can stop the madness. I can beat Donald Trump.’”

The Biden argument is simple: the way one beats the ultimate outsider (Trump) is by getting the ultimate insider into power. Essentially Biden represents a sense of normalcy, politics as usual. They say electability is in the eye of the beholder and there is not an effective way of measuring what it means. Then again, a CNN poll in April said that Beto O’Rourke, Biden, and Sanders would all beat Trump by six points in a hypothetical election — all white, all cis-gender men, all heterosexual, and all married.

I don’t know about you, but it is clear to me what electability means. n

Briefing schedule announced in Morris case

By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com A briefing schedule has been announced in the open-records case of trans attorney Julie Chovanes, who’s seeking documents relating to the death of Nizah Morris at the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. Morris was a trans woman found with a fatal head injury in December 2002, shortly after receiving a Center City “courtesy ride” from Philadelphia police. Her homicide remains unsolved.

No police officer has been charged with criminal wrongdoing in conjunction with Morris’ death. But numerous

questions relating to the “courtesy ride” remain unanswered. For example, police say they intended to give Morris a ride home because she was intoxicated. She was transported from the vicinity of 13th and Walnut streets to the vicinity of 16th and Walnut streets. But Morris actually lived three miles away in West Philadelphia.

Shorty after the ride, passing motorists spotted Morris lying in the street at 16th and Walnut, bleeding profusely from the head. She died 64 hours later, on Dec. 24, 2002, due to blunt-force head trauma.

In April 2018, Chovanes filed a state Right-to-Know Law request with the

D.A.’s Office, seeking all records at the office relating to case. The D.A.’s Office provided Chovanes with a nine-page transcript of 911 recordings relating to Morris’ death. But the office declined to provide additional records, citing an “open” investigation into Morris’ homicide.

Chovanes contends there isn’t an investigation of Morris’ death at the D.A.’s Office, thus all Morris records should be publicly accessible. On March 26, she filed an appeal of the D.A.’s denial in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court. On May 10, a briefing schedule was announced by Common Pleas Judge Edward J. Wright.

The D.A.’s legal brief defending its position is due by August 5, 2019.

Chovanes’ brief explaining why the records should be publicly accessible is due by Sept. 2. A specific date for oral arguments will be announced at a later time, but arguments won’t be held prior to Oct. 7, according to the briefing schedule.

In 2013, the city’s Police Advisory Commission called for state and federal probes of the Morris case.

But so far neither the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office nor the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania have initiated an investigation. n

Project HOME, said many of the residents have experienced “vicious social stigma and profound marginalization.”

“As I’ve gotten to know many of these young leaders, it is clear that they have turned their struggles into strength and determination,” Scullion said of the residents. “These new homes will be a base for them to develop their gifts and to forge their vocations. I have no doubt that our whole entire community will be greatly enriched by their lives.”

Occupants can access employment, education, healthcare and life-skills services at the residence, and rent is based on income — 30 percent of an occupant’s earnings.

The facility is named after the Philadelphia native and civil rights leader who was appointed first director of the Mayor’s Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs in 2008. Casarez died of cancer in 2014.

“By using her voice, [Casarez] gave entire communities, especially those of us who exist at the margins, a seat at the table,” said Amber Hikes, the executive director of the Mayor’s Office of LGBT Affairs. “She turned activism into action. She turned protests into policy.

She connected communities to the government and built the capacity for the next generation of leaders to challenge one another and create something profound for the betterment of all of us.”

City Council President Darrell Clarke and U.S. Rep Dwight Evans also attended the grand opening.

The Gloria Casarez Residence is the sixth project completed under Project HOME’s MPOWER initiative — a community partnership that emphasizes investments, relationships, resources, advocacy and evidence. Organizations including the Philadelphia Housing Authority, William Penn Foundation and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funded the apartment complex.

Project HOME has 70 apartments available to young adults across Philadelphia, including at JBJ Soul Homes on Fairmount Avenue near 15th Street and Francis House of Peace on Arch Street near Ninth.

About 7 percent of United States youth identify as LGBTQ, while 40 percent of youth experiencing homelessness identify as LGBTQ, according to True Colors United, a nonprofit that addresses youth homelessness. LGBTQ youth are 120-percent more likely to experience homelessness than their hetero peers.

“Black and brown people, trans, nonbinary and gender-noncomforming folks are disproportionately affected by these issues,” Hikes said. “They deserve a safe, supportive and permanent space to navigate their uniquely challenging and exciting journeys into adulthood.

They deserve that for themselves and for their histories.” n

Annual conference provides platform for LGBTQ youth

By A.D. Amorosi PGN Contributor LGBTQ student leaders from across the city hope to empower and educate GSAs and area learning centers to build community, share resources and knowledge, and create safer middle and high school environments for LGBTQ youth at the annual Leadership Experience and Development Conference (LEAD).

With a focus on K-12 staff and community partners, LEAD, organized by the Brave School will go to Mastery Thomas charter school May 21.

“LEAD, as with most of our other programs, was created because LGBTQ youth need a place to learn about the things they are extremely passionate about,” said Brave School Coordinator Aidan Williams (pronouns: they/them). They said K-12 institutions should grow and adapt to the needs of a new student constituency, while educating the teachers and administrators who tend to those students.

Williams said, “Schools discuss LGBTQ identity, history and struggles, and LEAD is a place to talk about all those things and genuinely have a good time in community.

LEAD is a place for networking, community building and learning.”

While the conference offers a wealth of easy-to-access workshops and breakout sessions, as well as time to relax and commune, Williams believes it crucial that young people feel comfortable using their voices to enact and adopt change.

“The name Brave Schools was created because we want youth who participate in our programs to feel brave and empowered to speak about their needs,” stated Williams. “We do not develop any programming without input from our youth leaders. They are experts in their own experience and they know better than anyone else what their needs may be.”

PGN Arts & Culture

“Each workshop topic is something [participants] are extremely passionate about,” claimed Williams. “For most, this is their first time facilitating a workshop.

In addition to Youth Leadership Board members, we have community members presenting workshops.”

LEAD offers youth and adult track workshops hitting on topics such as Queer Sex education, Marginalized queer identities, Housing/ financial budgeting, Gender Expansion and Queer Resilience. Adult Workshops include Trauma Informed Classrooms and Implicit Bias.

Williams said, “Schools and parents are sometimes uncomfortable having these conversations forcing youth having to take matters into their own hands.”

He added that adult workshops allow teachers to be aware of what might cloud their judgments when dealing with youth and that youth-led workshops allow young people to “present issues that impact their livelihoods daily.”

Students, educators and administrators come from a variety of schools in the area including School District of Philadelphia Schools, suburban-area schools, Philadelphia-based universities, Mastery Charter Schools and cyber schools.

“They all come together to find commonalities and ways to fight against systems together,” noted Williams. “Some schools are more equipped to deal with some injustices and that comes up a lot in conversation as well.”

Mental-health legislation introduced in House

By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D-181st Dist.) recently announced plans to introduce legislation aimed at placing more mental-health providers in Pennsylvania’s public schools to prevent bullying and suicide.

The legislation, known as “Phillip’s Law,” is named after Phillip Spruill. Jr. Kenyatta announced his intention to introduce the legislation on May 7, in a memorandum that was distributed to his colleagues in the state House of Representatives.

Spruill, a fifth grader at Benjamin B. Comegys Elementary, died by suicide in his Bartram Village home April 5 after being bullied about his weight. Relatives said Spruill was also despondent because his younger brother was constantly bullied by classmates who perceived him to be gay.

Spruill’s grandmother told PGN the bullying was pervasive. “It was in school, on the school bus and all the way up to his front door, because [the kids all live] in the same complex,” she said. “They would chase [Spruill and his brother] and call them ‘fatty and the faggot.’”

Phillip’s Law will be cosponsored by state Reps. Joanna McClinton (D-191st Dist.) and Wendi Thomas (R-178th Dist.).

“The bill was my idea,” Kenyatta told

PGN. “But I brought on Wendi Thomas and Joanna McClinton as prime cosponsors. It’s important that the bill has bipartisan support.”

As of presstime, the bill hadn’t been introduced and assigned a number.

Kenyatta said mental-health workers are not always accessible to students in Pennsylvania’s public schools due to budgetary constraints. He also said there’s no state mandate for public schools to employ mental-health workers.

Kenyatta’s bill would require the state Department of Education to investigate and report on the number of mental-health providers in public schools (K-12) across the state in order to make recommendations on how to increase their numbers.

“It’s critical that we have mental-health professionals in the schools,” Kenyatta explained. “We’ve seen a lot of kids take their lives. That’s what we’re trying to address. This [Spruill’s suicide] was a tragic situation. Our goal is that this doesn’t happen to other students when they have this additional support.”

Kenyatta also praised Spruill’s relatives for speaking out about his death. “I’m really grateful to his family and really moved by how brave they’ve been,” Kenyatta said.

“They’ve been very brave, in terms of using this horrific circumstance to talk about what’s happening to students.”

McClinton echoed Kenyatta’s sentiments. “We’ve seen firsthand the devastating effects that school bullying can have on young people in our community.”

McClinton said. “I’m grateful to stand alongside Reps. Kenyatta and Thomas to try to get Phillip’s Law passed. If we can save even one life or help even one student overcome school bullying, this fight will have been worth it.”

Thomas said mental-health services should be available to students of all ages.

“This boy [Spruill] was 11 years old,” Thomas told PGN. “In my district we lost a middle-school student to suicude in 2019.

So we need to look at mental-health issues not just at the high school level but really K-12.”

The Philadelphia School District has 323 counselors for 131,302 public school students, which equates to a ratio of one counselor for every 407 students. The district has added 84 counselors since 2015.

However, the American School Counselor Association recommends one counselor for every 250 students, according to published reports.

Lee Whack, a Philadelphia School District spokesperson, said the district hopes to hire 21 additional counselors in the near future.

“As a school district, we don’t have the power to raise any revenue,” Whack told

PGN. “We rely on the city, state and federal government for our funding. If our 2020 budget is approved, we’ll add an additional 21 counselors across the district. Our proposed budget is about $3.36 billion for 2020.”

Whack said the district is sensitive to the needs of students. “This [Spruill suicide] was a tragedy that everyone at the school is very sad about,” he said. “We’re providing supports to students. We’ll do everything we can to support students. It’s a horrible tragedy that Phillip is no longer here. But there were no official reports of bullying involving Phillip at the school.”

Whack added: “Anytime a child is lost, it’s quite a tragedy. We take bullying and reports of bullying very seriously. We have a bullying hotline, 215 - 400 - SAFE. Since 2015, we’ve added 84 counselors and 220 school-based climate positions to address student behavior -- to keep things going in an orderly fashion, to avoid bullying and conflicts in the schools.”

Pennsylvania is among 20 states that don’t mandate counselors in schools, according to a study conducted by Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. The other states are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota and Texas. n

CORNWELL from page 6

gay poet Joe Beam.

Cornwell was a member of Daughters of Bilitis and one of the founding members of the Philadelphia chapter of Radicalesbians.

As Cornwell explained in an interview with Marc Stein, when she was 70, she became involved in lesbian-feminist politics right at the cusp of Stonewall. She said, “Black women have always been feminists.

I mean that’s the only way we survived, that we were feminists. See a lot of people think being feminist means you hate men.

And straight women hate men more. Most gay women are feminists, to some extent, I think. Well, naturally I was very interested in the women’s movement because that was the only movement that I saw that might include me.”

Philadelphia writer Becky Birtha wrote the foreword to Cornwell’s book, Black Lesbian in White America. She notes that the book offers an acute political analy-

PGN

sis of both racial and sexual oppressions.

Cornwell was writing about what wasn’t yet known. Her book includes an interview with Audre Lorde, who would become the best-known and most prolific black lesbian feminist essayist of the 20th century.

In her book, Cornwell elucidates how lesbians must address their internalized misogyny as well as their internalized homophobia. It was a revolutionary theory when she first explored it. She wrote, “The thing I find most disturbing regarding womyn in general is the seeming impossibility of their thinking clearly when it comes time to deal with men. Womyn with advanced university degrees often seem utterly unable to dot an i when they are confronted with the realities of man’s barbaric treatment of womyn. To put it bluntly, I find it absolutely terrifying to see just how effective men have been in eradicating womyn’s sense of self, a condition that seems to prevail in at least 90 percent of all

womyn all over this male-infected globe.”

Racism was another crucial issue for Cornwell, and she found it embedded in the bar culture where, she said, “We went to one gay bar, which was called Rusty’s, and it was very prejudiced. I could tell they didn’t want us [black lesbians] there.”

Cornwell also addresses racism in the feminist movement but is slightly easier on women. She said, “See, you can’t live in a country that’s racist and not be affected in some manner or other. So naturally they had the same attitudes to some extent that the regular society had. But also there was some willingness to try to change to some extent. Of course there were varying degrees of success and non-success.”

For Cornwell, the focus of her activism always included women and lesbians. She lived most of her years in West Philly on the outskirt of the Penn campus in a series of communes with other women. She spent time at the Women’s Center and read her

poetry and fiction throughout the city, at the gay community center and other venues.

Now 95, Cornwell has suffered from dementia for over a decade and lives in a stately nursing home in Germantown.

Another longtime lesbian activist, Ahavia Lavana, lived in the same nursing home as Cornwell until she died in November 2018.

In 2011, Lavana posted on Cornwell’s Amazon page, “I have known the author for many years. Anita no longer remembers that she wrote this book, but I got her to sign my copy. She said she had never done this before. But I told her that she had signed many books. So she wrote her name and then thought a moment. Then she said ‘I’m a celebrate!’ I told her that she most certainly is a celebrate and gave her a hug.

When she sees me, she knows I know her and smiles at me. Which delights me as mostly she just sits. This is a wonderful book and should be read by any feminist and lesbian.” n

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE from page 1

“I was lucky — we were in the bedroom and I fell onto the bed. But if I had fallen just a few inches to the side, I would have smashed my face really hard. I still think about that.”

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence 2015 survey of intimate-partner violence among LGBTQ people, Chantal’s experience of domestic violence is common. Twenty percent of LGBTQ people have experienced physical violence while 16 percent have experienced threats and intimidation — all at the hands of intimate partners.

Another 4 percent experience sexual violence and 11 percent have been threatened with a weapon.

For trans women, the threat of violence is a national epidemic. Chantal said the unpredictable nature of her boyfriend’s outbursts began to make her feel afraid all the time.

“He never hurt me so badly that I had to go to the hospital,” she said, “but he threatened to ‘mess me up’ whenever he got angry.”

As executive director of Women in Transition and president of the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Roberta Hacker has addressed IPV for 30 years and said Chantal’s experience is the most common form of domestic abuse.

“The fear factor is significant,” Hacker said.

“It’s what ties the individual to the abuser.

They become afraid all the time because they have been dehumanized to an extent, so no matter what they do, they will be wrong, their abuser tells them this all the time.”

Hacker said the threat of violence, either stated or implied, keeps the victim in the thrall of the abusive partner. “Fear of death, the threat of killing them or their family, their children, their pets — all of that ties the knot around the individual and keeps them in the abusive relationship,” she said.

Maya is a professor at a local college, and single. Her female partner, Sasha, “never accepted my bisexuality” and would fight with her about it, she said. The relationship was monogamous and Sasha would insist that Maya was a lesbian.

“Sasha used to tell me all the time that since I no longer was in relationships with men, I wasn’t bisexual, I was a lesbian. But that was not my identity. Even though I was committed to her and only with her sexually, I strongly felt my identity was my own, even if I never got involved with a male partner again.”

The bullying weighed on Maya and, she said, it became “a talking point in every argument. She would say, ‘Well I guess since you’re a bisexual, you don’t really understand X,’ or some other snide comment.”

The relationship turned violent when Maya began team-teaching with a man. Sasha was jealous and accusatory, demanding to know if she was sleeping with the other professor.

“I would tell her no, I would explain that not only was he married and I was not attracted to him, but we worked together and I would never become involved with someone I worked with.”

Sasha didn’t believe her. “She just whacked me one day out of nowhere. I don’t even remember what it was that we were discussing and she just said, ‘I really hate you right now’ and hauled off and hit me so hard that I burst into tears like a child. It was just so shocking.”

The couple split up several months later.

Maya said she’s “still in mourning and still healing.”

Dr. Jennie Goldenberg specializes in treatment of post-traumatic stress. In her experience treating LGBTQ clients, seeking help is profoundly difficult.

“Experiencing physical and psychological trauma can lead to a reluctance and even

Philadelphia Gay News www.epgn.com May 17-23, 2019

fear of reporting intimate-partner violence,” Goldenberg said. “LGBTQ people suffer from almost daily micro aggressions that can cause depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress.”

Hacker said this trauma just perpetuates the cycle of violence.

“It has been a long-term struggle to work with the LGBTQ community about violence in intimate-partner relationships,” said Hacker. “Gay men are more willing to come forward than lesbians. The isolation lesbians feel often makes them protective of their abusive partners and they can’t get help.”

The impact of discrimination also leads women to self-medicating and substance abuse, said Hacker.

Maya said she started drinking wine every night to calm down.

Goldenberg said, “LGBTQ people can experience layers upon layers of traumatic experiences as children and adolescents, including abuse and outright rejection from parents and other family members because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

“They often don’t have a secure foundation of feeling loved and accepted for who they are, and they then enter their adult relationships with an anxious/insecure attachment style, a lack of a sense of safety in the world, and a belief that they don’t deserve better.”

“Homophobia and transphobia — or the fear they will encounter it in police officers or other crisis responders, including staff in DV shelters, emergency-room staff, and mental-health professionals — causes many LGBTQ folks to avoid not only reporting the abuse, but seeking mental-health treatment to mitigate its long-term effects.”

While all the survivors interviewed for this series sought therapy in one form or another, not one reported their abuser to police or any

other authority. Goldenberg said this is more common for LGBTQ victims of IPV than their heterosexual peers.

“LGBTQ folks can be retraumatized by the stigma, discrimination, lack of training and outright homophobia and transphobia they can encounter when they seek safety — what is known as ‘sanctuary trauma,’” the doctor explained. “Their communities are small, and reporting a partner for DV can also lead to further isolation, as community members and friends may choose to support the abuser.”

That was Maya’s experience. “All our mutual friends took Sasha’s side,” she said.

“It was devastating for me. I felt I lost everything. I also felt that it was a repudiation of who I was, as if these friends were saying I was expendable because I wasn’t the lesbian.”

Both Hacker and Goldenberg said it’s vital to tell survivor stories to highlight both the facts of LGBTQ domestic violence and that survivors are out there — and that anyone can move from victim to survivor with support.

“It takes a great deal of courage — and a lot of social support — for any victim of intimate-partner violence to report it, and to seek help,” Goldenberg said. “It puts many at risk for even greater violence or even death.

For members of the LGBTQ community, our society, sadly, just makes it so much more difficult.” n

Let’s face it: Work/life balance is fiction About a month ago, I was sitting in stopand-go traffic on Route 611, wending my way from Montgomery County toward Jackson’s dermatologist appointment in Fairmount. It was 8 a.m., rush-hour traffic was starting to build and so was my anxiety. It was my first time taking him to a doctor’s appointment alone, and I needed every detail to work perfectly —nap in the car, be pleasant in the waiting room, short wait, quick visit, no traffic on our way to daycare —to make it to my office for my 10 a.m. meeting.

Piece of cake.

Meanwhile, in our hectic morning routine, I had no time to do my makeup, so I was applying mascara haphazardly as I drove, silently willing police to pull me over so I could unload on them unnecessarily about societal expectations for working women — all while the song “Have a Great Day” streamed through the speakers, putting an ironic exclamation point on my already absurd day.

Jen While an early-morning doctor’s visit isn’t par for the course, juggling the responsibilities and expectations of parenting and professional life is an intense, around-the-clock job — mired with societal standards and made worse by new-parent guilt and ignorance. Throw in the element of being an LGBTQ parent, and all bets are off.

Here are a few of the realizations I’ve come to about the work/life “balance.”

Case in point: I’m currently writing this column at 32,000 feet, en route to a business trip in Las Vegas. Nothing, I’ve found, highlights the ridiculous concept of trying to balance work and home life than going away on business. Today before my flight, I waffled between work tasks (checking emails, editing a column, packing my bags), home tasks (mowing my lawn, walking my dog four times) and Jackson tasks (pre-filling bottles, cleaning curious substances from his humidifier, ordering diapers on Amazon and trying to squeeze in quality time). I wasn’t trying to be an employee for a set number of hours and then a homeowner and then a parent — it all melded together into a big ball of stress.

When I had another conference in Vegas a few months ago, I dashed from session to session, checking in on my mom to see how her babysitting duties were going and later Colletta rushing back to my hotel room so I could Facetime with Ashlee and Jackson before his bedtime. Instead of hitting the Strip on what was my first trip to Vegas, I bought an obnoxiously overpriced bottle of wine and sipped from a paper cup in bed while looking at old newborn pictures of Jackson.

On the road or in the office, I’m the same person I am when I’m home—and I have the same responsibilities. I recently had an important interview for a story I was working on and, halfway through, I found myself drifting off, wondering if I would be able to wrap this up in enough time to get home and walk the dog before Ashlee left for class, because I knew it was too chilly of a day for Jackson to tag along on an outdoor adventure. At home, I have found myself answering work emails while Jackson is sitting on my lap finishing his nighttime bottle, or getting frustrated with him when all he wants to do is play at 8 p.m. and I have a load of freelance projects waiting for his bedtime.

The idea that parents can “balance” their professional selves with their personal selves shouldn’t even come into the equation, as balancing suggests two opposing entities — and that there should be some fair and equal distribution. In reality, it’s about achieving harmony among the many enmeshed elements of one’s identity — being aware of where we’re needed most and when and trying to rise to that challenge.

Family Forward

The unachievable balance First off, the very concept of a work/life balance is pure fiction. It suggests we’re one person when we’re home with our child and another when we enter the office. In reality, we’re the same person with many dimensions, experiences and expectations, albeit some of them competing with one

Making it work Accepting that balance is unattainable seems to be the first step toward holding down a career and

a baby — without fully losing your sanity.

A key part of that recognition, however, is also accepting that other people won’t quite get just how blurred the lines are around between parent and professional.

For instance, a few weeks ago, a coworker, whom I like, stopped into my office to chat. “You know, you really look tired,” he began. Thankfully, he didn’t pick up on the plastered smile I projected back. He went on to regale me with a story about a friend who, for months after her child’s birth, was “unfriendly” and withdrawn and how she too came out the other side.

I thanked him for his kind words and frantically put my earbuds back in. To me, that was the parental version of the “You should smile” comment that so many women have fielded from passersby on the street. While my coworker may have been well-meaning, what he didn’t realize was I had been up almost the entire night, as Ashlee, the baby and I all were fighting a nasty head cold. I was tired, sick and sick of being tired.

But to that coworker and, doubtlessly, countless others, I shouldn’t have presented that truth at work. Except for parents in the throws of a new baby who understand all that experience entails, I think many put a dangerous distance between home and the office — with the assumption that, sure, having a baby is tough, but leave it at the door. We’re supposed to be the model parent at home and the model employee at the office — with little wiggle room for the mental, physical and emotional baggage parents and employees carry with them every day.

The same extends to countless other challenging experiences employees face — a death, mental-health struggles, a breakup, the effects of which many workers may strive to suppress in order to preserve the image of being the ideal employee.

But that game can take a toll. And without flexible workplace policies or an organizational culture that recognizes the intertwined influence of work and home, the feat of ensuring those competing aspects of one’s identity don’t overrun one another, can be a solo job.

For me, I found it helpful to remind myself not to sweat the small stuff. Yes, I feel my hand itching toward my phone when I see it ding with a work email while

I’m feeding the baby. Answering it would mean one less thing to do tomorrow. But it would also mean a few seconds less I have to devote to Jackson — something I know I may regret not too far in the future. Work (my work, at least) isn’t life or death — it can always wait.

I’ve also tried to find ways to integrate my responsibilities. As we were building our baby registry, for example, I found myself quickly falling down the rabbit hole of baby research; I knew that, if I didn’t find out right then if Stroller A or Stroller B was safer and had a better value, I wouldn’t be able to focus on my work.

So I took a break and pulled up reviews and did some nonwork at work. Once satisfied, I got busy again. Let’s face it: Not everyone is 100% productive for eight-plus solid hours every day at work. Watercooler conversations, Facebook scrolling and other mindless activities doubtlessly eat into many employees’ days. So instead of feeling guilty if I try to knock out a “home” task at work, I remind myself that the peace of mind I get from doing so makes me a more focused and productive employee.

Advocating for change can also provide the perspective parents may need. The United States remains the only developed nation in the world without mandated maternity leave — making full LGBTQinclusive parental leave seem even more like a pipe dream. While many companies have gotten on board and recognized the value of inclusive benefits, most haven’t.

Working for an HR magazine, I’ve learned just how hot today’s jobs market is — meaning employers want to keep their workers; they need to. So what’s the harm in asking HR about plans to expand maternity leave to parental leave (and even full family leave to afford flexibility for all sorts of deserving situations)?

Other areas for improvement could be flex time and work-from-home programs, which are gaining steam — and rightfully not just for employees with kids — as organizations increasingly recognize the value of benefits that acknowledge employees’ blended work and home lives.

Parent or not, and LGBTQ or not, allies can have a big impact on progress and, if enough LGBTQ and ally employees make the case for workplace policies and programs that can enable all employees to bring the best of themselves to work and to home, both our workplaces and our homes will be all the better. n

New wave of Chechnya gay abuse Gay men are being detained and tortured in the Russian republic of Chechnya reported Human Rights Watch.

The group said it interviewed four gay men who had fled the conservative, predominantly Muslim region. The men said police harshly abused them, stringing them up by the legs and using electric shock as torture. It said their accounts were consistent with a complaint filed by an LGBT activist in January.

In 2017, activists said more than 100 gay men had been detained, tortured and some of them killed in Chechnya.

HRW said in its report released May 8 that the 2017 crackdown was not adequately investigated.

Unless full investigation is conducted “we can expect further episodes of this depraved abuse,” HRW’s Rachel Denber said.

Cuba cancels Conga Against Homophobia parade The Cuban government announced May 7 that it has cancelled this year’s edition of a parade widely seen as a sign of progress on gay rights on the island.

The state-run Center for Sex Education run by Mariela Castro, the daughter of Communist Party First Secretary Raul Castro, said in a Facebook post that the Conga Against Homophobia scheduled for an unspecified date this month had been cancelled on orders of the Ministry of Health.

The statement attributed the cancellation to “new tensions in the international and regional context that directly and indirectly affect our country and have tangible and intangible impacts in the normal development of our daily life and the implementation of the policies of the Cuban state.”

The statement did not explain what that meant.

Officials with the sexual education center, known by its Spanish acronym CENESEX did not respond to requests for comment or said they didn’t know why the march was cancelled.

Tensions with the United States are high because of the situation in Venezuela, where the Trump administration wants to oust the Cuban-backed administration of President Nicolas Maduro, and Cuba’s economy is stricken by shortages in basic goods attributed in large part to a decline in subsidized oil from Venezuela.

It is unclear how either of those factors required the cancellation of a gay pride march, although Cuban officials tend to impose more controls of all types in moments when the country is perceived to be under threat. The issue of gay rights has become unusually controversial in Cuba in recent months due to resistance from the country’s growing ranks of evangelical Christians.

The Cuban government persecuted gays in the 1960s and 1970s but has since outlawed discrimination and come to be seen as relatively progres-

sive on the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people. The government funds gender reassignment surgeries, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is outlawed, and police receive training designed to avoid disrespectful treatment of homosexuals and transgender people.

The conga, a parade of hundreds of LGBTQ people waving rainbow flags and dancing down one of Havana’s main thoroughfares, became an internationally lauded symbol of Cuba’s acceptance of gay and transgender rights. A second parade was planned this year for the eastern city of Camaguey, as part of the 12th celebration of an event known as the Days Against Homophobia and Transphobia.

The festival started Monday, lasts until May 18 and features workshops, seminars, film screenings and a cultural gala.

CENESEX said the cancellation of the march was only for this year, and could be revisited in 2020.

Pro-LGBT poster with revered icon stirs Poland Rights groups and government critics in Poland protested May 7 after police temporarily detained a human rights activist for putting up posters of the country’s popular icon — Mother of God of Czestochowa — with LGBT colors added to the halos of May and Jesus reports the Washington Post.

Prosecutors in the central city of Plock said the woman has been questioned and has heard charges of insulting religious feelings and desecration of the icon, popularly known as the Black Madonna of Czestochowa.

The activist, 51-year-old Elzbieta Podlesna, last month placed posters with altered images of the icon on walls, garbage bins and mobile toilets near St. Dominik’s church in Plock. She did not physically damage the icon, which was venerated by pontiffs including Pope John Paul II. About 300 people with a giant rainbow flag and holding posters of the altered icon heard speeches from human rights activists as they staged a peaceful protest in downtown Warsaw.

Earlier Tuesday, European Council president Donald Tusk, who was in his native Poland, said the Polish authorities’ harsh reaction was “inconceivable.” The Warsaw-based Helsinki Foundation of Human Rights found the raid on Podlesna’s home and her brief detention “hard to understand.”

But former Prime Minister and European Parliament member Jerzy Buzek said things like altering the revered icon’s image “should not take place because they can insult people who are deep believers.”

Dariusz Rosati, a former left-wing foreign minister who is now running for the European Parliament, suggested using less controversial campaigning that would avoid provoking some groups in society.

The case has highlighted the clash in predominantly Catholic Poland between the freedom of speech and laws banning hostility against religious beliefs. On social media, debate raged between critics of the government who said it was an abuse of power, and Catholics and backers of the conservative ruling party who argued their feelings were intentionally hurt.

The dispute came ahead of this month’s European Parliament elections. n

Media Trail Kentucky city rejects anti-discrimination ordinance Officials in a south-central Kentucky city have again voted against an ordinance that would add specific housing and employment protections for gay, lesbian and transgender residents according to the Daily News.

The Bowling Green City Commission voted 3-2 on May 7 to reject the second reading of the ordinance. The vote came after three hours of impassioned discussion and comments from 85 speakers.

There were 55 people who spoke in favor of the ordinance, with many citing instances of discrimination.

Those who spoke against it cited fears that it would infringe on religious liberties and lead to costly litigation.

The newspaper reports Bowling Green is the largest city in the state that hasn’t added formal protections for residents based on sexual orientation and identity.

Buttigieg sells out fundraiser at iconic Hollywood gay bar Pete Buttigieg drew a sold-out crowd to a fundraiser at an iconic West Hollywood gay bar, providing an intimate moment with the first Democratic White House contender who is a member of the LGBT community reports NBC News.

Attendees at The Abbey each paid about $25 to attend the South Bend, Indiana, mayor’s “grassroots” event. Buttigieg was introduced by his husband, Chasten.

It’s just one of a crush of fundraisers he has in the coming days and weeks.

Buttigieg told the audience to ignore skeptics who say change is impossible: “Tell them you saw ... a top tier presidential candidate on his way to the White House moments after his husband introduced him.”

Maine House, Senate advance ‘conversion therapy’ ban News Center Maine reports a bill that would ban so-called gay conversion therapy for minors passed Maine’s House and Senate this week in initial votes.

Philadelphia Gay News www.epgn.com May 17-23, 2019

If the bill becomes law, Maine would join 16 states that have banned the practice that aims to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

The Maine Senate on May 9 approved the bill, which received a 91-46 vote in the House on May 8.

Maine’s former Republican governor vetoed a similar measure last year, but the bill has gained momentum this year under a Democratic-led Legislature.

The bill faces more votes in both chambers before it can head to Democratic Gov. Janet Mills’ desk.

Supporters decry the practice as a harmful and medically discredited; the American Psychological Association opposes the therapy.

“It just doesn’t work,” said Democratic House Majority Leader Matt Moonen.

Critics of the bill, meanwhile, said it was too broad and infringes on parental choice and religious freedom.

The bill downplays the “tried and true values and traditions of parents and the church,” said Belgrade resident Joy Emmons, who told lawmakers she was a certified counselor with the American Association of Christian Counselors.

A Republican failed to gain support for an amendment to exclude talk therapy and counseling from counting as “conversion therapy.” But, under that amendment, the use of punishment or “unpleasant stimuli,” such as ice baths,

27

pornographic materials and electroconvulsive therapy, would be banned.

A law against “conversion therapy” was signed recently in Massachusetts, while states including North Carolina are considering such legislation this year.

Matt Easton made the comments during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that aired May 6 in which she gave him a check for $10,000.

Easton says he worried that he could be reported for even hugging or shaking a man’s hand on campus while on campus.

DeGeneres applauded Easton for his bravery. The TV appearance was the latest praise and attention Easton has received since he said in his April 26 speech that he was “proud to be a gay son of God.” n

Tensions high at Trans Day flag-raising

By Lenny Cohen PGN Contributor It was supposed to be a celebration of the annual Trans Day of Visibility.

Philadelphians were to gather at City Hall at midday Tuesday to raise the Trans Pride Flag and hear speakers from the trans community.

But the ceremony took a different turn when an audience member verbally attacked one of two out transgender candidates running in the May 21 primary election, Deja Lynn Alvarez.

“You’re white! You’re white!” AbdulAliy Muhammad, the former campaign manager of rival candidate Sherry Cohen and co-founder of the Black & Brown Workers Co-op, screamed at Alvarez from the small audience.

Alvarez — a commissioner on the Mayor’s Commission of LGBT Affairs and a member on the Philadelphia Police Advisory Board — was behind the podium at the time, addressing attendees

and explaining how others have claimed that she changed her last name and is not Latinx.

She referred to those making the allegations as people who “prop themselves up under the guise of activism.”

“My very identity, my ethnicity, my name and my own father have been used in a Trumpian-style violent attack against me and my campaign,” Alvarez said, mentioning she had court documents from when she changed her name, with her dead name [a trans person’s assigned name at birth, used before they transition] on them, plus court records in her name when she sued the city of Philadelphia in 2001.

Alvarez accused Muhammad of “telling a transwoman she’s not who she is.”

Cohen said of the incident, “My former campaign manager, Abdul-Aliy Muhammad and Deja Lynn Alvarez have known each other for many years.

OutFest draws younger, more diverse crowd

By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com The 28th annual OutFest block party attracted some 50,000 visitors and participants — more than it had in the previous two years, said the event’s organizer.

Philadelphia’s celebration of National Coming Out Day brought in an estimated 30,000 revelers in 2016-17. Last Sunday’s 80-degree weather may have contributed to the bigger crowds — but even more notable was the age range.

“It used to be that everyone that attended OutFest was in their 20s or older,” said Franny Price, executive director of Philly Pride Presents, which organizes the yearly event.

“Now it’s all ages, especially people under the age of 18. It’s becoming their block party.”

“It seems that more people are coming out at a younger age, and it’s exciting to see all of the young people having a great time at OutFest in celebration of their openness.”

Meanwhile, more than 150 community groups, vendors and partners set up tents along the Gayborhood celebration routes, from 12th to 13th streets and Walnut to Spruce.

The main stage, at 13th and Locust, featured live entertainment from local drag performers and artists. It’s also where the OutProud Awards were given to individuPAGE 2 als for notable

Suicide rates up among youth, LGBTQs

PAGE 45

PA Supreme Court rejects lesbian’s parenting claim

By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com

By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com Mental-health professionals are advocating for suicide-prevention education to begin as early as elementary schools.

The rate of suicide for LGBTQ youth has risen by more than 70 percent over the past decade, and is on the rise in all children aged 10 and under.

“For the first time ever, we’re seeing a rise in suicide rates for children under the age of 10,” said Dr. Yolanda Graham, the chief medical officer of Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health — one of the nation’s largest and oldest advanced-behavioral healthcare organizations.

Mental illness is beginning to surface at a younger age, Graham said. “It happens not only as a result of genetic-risk factors, but also as a result of the psychosocial stressors combining with those risk factors.”

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death for LGBTQ individuals ages 10-24, Graham said. LGBTQ youth are four times more likely than their heterosexual counterparts to attempt suicide or engage in self-harm, she added.

An increase in suicide awareness in education is needed at the elementary level to help combat these rising numbers, Graham said.

“One of the biggest efforts going on nationally is providing education in the school system. If people aren’t educated on risk factors, then it’s hard to really impact the rate of suicide,” Graham said. “People have a misconception that if you talk about suicide, it will increase the risk, and unfortunately, what we’re seeing is that by not talking about it, the risk is increased.”

In June, the Centers for Disease Control reported that suicide rates in the United States increased in nearly every state from 1999-2016. In PAGE 17 Pennsylvania, it has

Mazzoni Center: Changes underway

By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com Mazzoni Center’s board of directors issued an open letter outlining plans it says are in action to improve morale and create a healthier workplace after a series of internal crises.

The board acknowledged the “organizational challenges stemming from a period of controversies and leadership changes over the past two years” in the letter, posted on the center’s website Sept.

19.

The memorandum also stated the “leadership is actively working to address the situation” that led to the termination of Mazzoni Center’s first director of diversity, equity and inclusion, Kay Martinez, Aug. 20, four months into the job. Martinez subsequently filed a complaint with the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations and publicly accused Mazzoni Center of wrongful termination, retaliation and discrimination. The termination prompted some 50 employees to briefly walk out of work in solidarity.

According to a statement Mazzoni Center board president Chris Pope gave to PGN, to clarify the points in the letter, plans include working to hire consultants

“to meet our goals as an organization” and revising the job description for the diversity director, which has not been completed.

“Looking forward, we are working with senior leadership to revise the job description of the director of diversity, equity and inclusion to be one that is, at a minimum, consistent with best practices for similar roles in similar organizations,” Pope said.

The memo provided bullet points outlining future plans to improve “the overall culture and morale of the organization” with a focus on “increasing communication with staff and stakeholders.” Pope did not provide specific details on the changes, but said the board hopes that “enhanced communication will begin to heal some of the wounds of the past and expand new paths for collaboration both within the organization and externally with the communities we serve.”

Pope added that “improving Mazzoni Center’s delivery of LGBTQ competency” is a priority. One way to do that is by “enhancing the board’s membership to bring additional backgrounds and perspectives to the organization.”

Mazzoni Center currently has 17 board members: Five are women, six are people of color and eight are white men. n

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court last week ruled against a lesbian who sought shared custody of a child born to her former same-sex partner.

In the case of C.G. v. J.H., the high court held that C.G. failed to establish that she intended to be the child’s parent, despite C.G.’s insistence that she had such an intent.

The dispute involves two women who lived together in Florida between 2001-12. In 2006, J.H. gave birth to J.W.H. with the help of an anonymous sperm donor. About six years later, J.H. relocated to Pennsylvania with her son and won’t allow C.G. to visit him. In court papers, the women disagreed on whether C.G. co-parented the child for almost six years.

C.G. maintains she co-parented J.W.H. for the first six years of his life and never disavowed her parental status. J.H. maintains she has been a single parent for her son’s entire life and never assented to C.G. being his parent.

Pennsylvania’s custody statute doesn’t define the term “parent,” but case law as developed in the courts has limited the definition to a person who is biologically related to a child or who has adopted a child.

C.G. wanted the high court to expand the definition to recognize someone in her situation as a parent.

The justices heard oral arguments in the dispute on May 15. Last week, in a 33-page opinion, they said C.G. failed to establish she intended to be J.W.H.’s parent.

“There was no dispute that C.G. was not party to a contract or identified as an intended parent when J.H. undertook to become pregnant through intrauterine insemination,” the majority opinion stated. “Therefore, she is clearly not a parent under any bases that have been recognized by our jurisprudence.”

The opinion acknowledges that C.G. and J.H. had a commitment ceremony but didn’t register as domestic partners. The justices also noted that C.G. placed the child on her health-insurance plan, but didn’t register as his parent with the school he attended.

Justices Kevin M. Dougherty and David N. Wecht issued concurring opinions that C.G. didn’t establish her status as J.W.H.’s parent. But they expressed hope that eventually a broader definition of “parent” would be created in Pennsylvania that takes into PAGE 17 account assisted-reproduction

Welcome to the world, Jackson Anthony In keeping with Jackson’s nursery theme, there’s a line from the final “Harry Potter” movie that has been running through my head the last few weeks: “When have any of our plans ever actually worked? We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose!”

after homosexuals were denied service at Dewey’s restaurant. Inspired by African-American lunchcounter sit-ins, this event prompted Dewey’s to stop its discriminatory policy, an early victory for LGBT rights.”

Deja Alvarez, a local trans advocate, contends the marker is misleading because gender-variant individuals — not “homosexuals” — were the target of Dewey’s exclusionary policy and led the subsequent protests.

“Too often, gender-variant people, particularly trans people, are erased from LGBT history,” Alvarez said. “Then we have to fight to get them put back in. I’m fed up with it. I’m exhausted from watching our erasure from not only history, but from the community as a whole.”

Howard Pollman, a PHMC spokesperson, said the agency is willing to meet with LGBT advocates about the marker’s language.

“We take the comments regarding the Dewey’s sit-in marker text seriously,” Pollman said in an Oct. 5 email. “As is our normal process, we worked PAGE 19 with the sponsor to create the

“Our family isn’t the only one that’s having to deal with fatally losing a trans family member,” Bibbs told a PGN reporter during the march. “That’s why we’re out here, fighting for Shantee and other members of the trans community. I see these murders happening and it lets me know that more needs to be done to support the trans community.”

The crowd also chanted, “No justice, no peace, no transphobic police” and “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re fabulous, don’t fuck with us,” while holding up various signs, including, “Dismantle the cis-tem,” “Black Trans Lives Matter” and “Trans men are men, period.”

Officials at the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission said they’ll meet with LGBT advocates regarding a state historical marker recently installed near Rittenhouse Square that omits recognition of the early transgender community.

The marker, dedicated on Oct. 1, commemorates a 1965 LGBT sit-in at Dewey’s, a restaurant that was located at 219 S. 17th St. The restaurant has since been demolished and a Hyatt Hotel stands at the site. The marker, which is owned by PHMC, is sponsored and funded by Equality Forum, a Philadelphia-based LGBT advocacy group.

The text of the marker states: “Activists led one of the nation’s first LGBT sit-ins here in 1965

OutFest pictures

Historic marker under fire by some LGBT advocates

Julie Chovanes, a Philadelphia-based transgender attorney, this week continued her year-long quest for records relating to the Nizah Morris case at the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office by filing an appeal in Common Pleas Court.

Morris was a transgender woman of color found with a fatal head injury during the pre-dawn hours of Dec. 22, 2002, minutes after she received a “courtesy ride” in the Gayborhood from Philadelphia police.

She died 64 hours later, after her attending physician had her removed from life support at Jefferson University Hospital.

Her homicide remains unsolved.

On April 18, 2018, Chovanes filed a Right-to-Know Law request with the D.A. for a copy of all Morris records located at the office. The records include witness interviews and legal memos authored by prosecutors who investigated the case.

On March 1, after multiple continuances, the D.A. denied Chovanes’ request, citing state laws that render criminal-investigation records confidential. She filed the appeal on Tuesday, contending there’s no criminal investigation of Morris’s homicide at the D.A.’s Office. Thus, the records she’s seeking should be released to her.

“I’ve discussed the Morris case with D.A. Larry Krasner and others at the D.A.’s Office,” Chovanes told PGN. “D.A. Krasner said there is no investigation of the Morris case. So [my position is] there’s no reason to withhold the records I’m requesting.

I believe the records will tell us what happened to Nizah Morris.”

As of presstime, the D.A.’s Office hadn’t filed a response to Chovanes’ notice of appeal. A spokesperson for the office had no comment.

Officers Kenneth Novak, Elizabeth Skala and Thomas Berry responded to Morris on the morning that she was fatally injured. None has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing related to the case. But their version of events raised troubling questions that linger to this day.

For example, Skala told the Police Advisory Commission that she gave Morris a ride from Key West Bar near 13th and Walnut streets to 15th and Walnut, where she thought Morris lived.

But advocates for Morris noted the victim lived 3 miles away, in West Philadelphia. Moreover, the area of 15th and Walnut streets PAGE 12

Dozens of candidates running for City Council at-Large seats who had their nomination petitions challenged now have a clear path to the primary ballot.

The competitor who challenged them had a sudden illness that caused him to faint, and eventually have a change of heart.

There are 41 people running for seven City Council at-Large seats. They consist of 34 Democrats and seven Republicans.

On March 19, one of those Democrats — Devon Cade — challenged the petitions of 30 of his 33 opponents.

Two of the three LGBTQ candidates running for City Council DEVON CADE a t - L a r g e seats were affected: Adrian Rivera-Reyes, a cancer biologist and labor organizer; and transgender woman Deja Lynn Alvarez, who is a system navigator for the city’s Department of Health and a commissioner on the Mayor’s Commission of LGBT Affairs.

The third LGBTQ at-Large candidate is Sherrie Cohen, a tenants’-rights attorney and the daughter of late Philadelphia Councilman David Cohen. She was one of the three opponents of Cade who was not challenged, and told PGN she doesn’t know PAGE 12

to descend. Two hours later, he had moved his hand completely on top of his head; the doctor laughed that she could shake his little fingers and said “C-section it is!”

A whirlwind 15 minutes later, they were wheeling Ashlee down the hall into the OR as I was furiously texting our family members to beeline it back to the hospital and then donning scrubs.

In the moment, it felt like the floor was falling out from beneath me. My wife was being prepared to be sliced open, the baby we had envisioned for years would be here

in seconds and we had no time to gear up.

In hindsight, I’m glad it happened in such a rush, as neither of us had time to succumb too much to nerves — and we were given our first taste of a reality we’ve since accepted: With parenthood, you often have to just roll with things.

A half-hour before, I had been planning what dinner to get from the cafeteria, and here I was holding Ashlee’s hand with a curtain draped in front of us as the doctors casually chatted over her open stomach. At a certain point, a nurse told me to stand up and get my camera ready and, terrified of the gore I would face, I reluctantly looked down to see them pulling a melon-looking object out of Ashlee’s stomach. Which organ is that? I wondered before I snapped

out of it and realized that was Jackson’s head, and I jumped into paparazzi mode.

He started wailing and we started crying.

A few seconds later, the nurses wrapped up this wriggling little being in a blanket and whisked him back for us to see, the most surreal moment of both of our lives. Even though we knew on a cognitive level that there was a tiny being in there causing her belly to grow for nine (well, more like eight) months, seeing that he was a living, breathing (screaming!) real person was hard to actually wrap our brains around. I would guess that this is an experience that transcends sexual orientation, gender identity, race, age and so many other barriers; the first time you see your child — no matter how they’re conceived or brought into this world — is, as clichéd as it may sound, life-changing.

Thankfully, the doctors and nurses were well trained in how to manage such an emotional situation. With practiced hands, they weighed Jackson, taking bets among themselves at his weight, all of them overshooting his tiny 5 pounds, 4 ounces. The medical staff gushed at how adorably small he was and offered to take the first pictures of us as a family. It was heartening that they were congratulating us on “our” son

so seamlessly, which I think speaks to a profession where extraneous factors such as sexual orientation often seem inconsequential in light of literal life-or-death situations.

That idea came front and center in the coming days. Despite all of our preparation, we quickly saw that we didn’t know the first thing about taking care of an infant — but what we did know was that he was healthy and Ashlee was on the mend, and that was all that mattered.

The lessons we’re learning every day — practically every minute — are showing us to toss the guidebooks and the outlines, and instead just follow where the unparalleled love we have for this little guy tells us to go. n

New Congress member joins push for LGBT equality

By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com

U.S. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon fulfilled the promises she made while campaigning to fight for LGBTQ equality: She recently joined the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus and signed on as a cosponsor of the Equality Act — moves that have local LGBTQ-rights advocates looking to other elected officials to make good on their promises.

Scanlon, a Democrat, was sworn into office to represent Pennsylvania’s Seventh Congressional District on Nov. 13, filling the vacancy created by the resignation of Rep. Pat Meehan over a sexual-harassment scandal. Scanlon will be sworn in as the member representing Pennsylvania’s Fifth District on Jan. 3. The change in district is the result of a state Supreme Court ruling requiring Pennsylvania to redraw its congressional map. The new Fifth District, which encompasses Delaware County, is comprised of parts of the former First, Second and Seventh districts.

“Now more than ever, allies must stand strong with the community,” Scanlon said in a statement released Dec. 13. “Members of the LGBTQ community deserve the same rights, protections, and opportunities as any other American. While the fight for equality has seen rapid progress in the past decade, we are still a long way from full legal and social equality for LGBTQ people.”

Adrian Shanker, executive director of the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center in Allentown, located in the Fifth District, said Scanlon’s push to “fight for [the LGBTQ community] in Washington” is crucial, but that he would like to see “more members of Congress who are from Pennsylvania join the Equality Caucus.”

Shanker, who serves as a commissioner on Gov. Tom Wolf’s Pennsylvania Commission on LGBTQ Affairs, questioned whether other candidates who were successful in November’s election will take action in supporting the LGBTQ community.

“Pennsylvania needs more representation in the caucus, especially from those who ran on pro-LGBT initiatives during their campaigns,” Shanker said. “It reminds people here in Pennsylvania that we still have work PAGE 14 to do to pass our own

Trenton ‘gayborhood’ finds new lease on life

By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com Mill Hill, once considered a drug-ridden, rundown slum in Trenton, N.J., is now an upscale residential neighborhood that’s attracting more artists, big-city professionals and, now, more LGBTQ couples and families to the area. The sixblock neighborhood — about 35 minutes north of Philadelphia — is a burgeoning community “that offers more than meets the eye,” said Gregory Rollins, a recent Mill Hill transplant.

Rollins, a content manager for Verizon, moved into his three-story, single-family home on Jackson Street with his partner last August. Within days of moving in, he was greeted by a handful of neighbors who welcomed the couple to the neighborhood, an experience he said he didn’t have while living in his previous home in Princeton, N.J. “I lived in Princeton for seven years and I only knew one of my neighbors.

Now, I’m friends with mostly everyone on my block and the adjacent blocks and

I’ve been in more neighbors’ houses than I can count,” Rollins said. “This neighborhood is made up of artists, theater folks, urban professionals, retired people, even young couples who are starting their lives together — you have the whole gamut here. You’ll find a bit of everything in Mill Hill.”

Jennifer Williams, who lives across the street from Rollins, has lived in Mill Hill for more than a decade with her wife and son.

“Diversity is becoming a strong component of why Mill Hill is flourishing. It’s a welcoming place for anyone looking to build community. There’s always been a steady number of LGBT couples who have lived in the neighborhood, but now we’re seeing more people from the community migrating to Mill Hill,” Williams said.

Earlier this year, Trenton elected its first openly gay mayor, W. Reed Gusciora.

The Democrat told PGN that currently, the city has no nondiscrimination policies in place to protect LGBT residents PAGE 15 but “we’re working to

When Giulia Umile and her fiancée, Jess, got engaged earlier this fall, Umile knew just the place to hold the wedding.

A world traveler, the COO of Slice Communications in Old City said that one particular vacation she took in Mexico stood out “as one of the most beautiful and pleasant vacations of my life — I literally did not want for a single thing. The service was spectacular, the resort is gorgeous and I always thought that if I got married, this would be a phenomenal place to do it.”

The Le Blanc Spa Resort is one of 10 AAA Five-Diamond-awarded oceanfront properties belonging to Cancun-based Palace Resorts, regularly featured in celebrity magazines for the sheer volume of famous people who vacation at the resorts, most of which are in Cancun but also in Los Cabos and Jamaica. Ellen DeGeneres has more than once given vacations to her entire studio audience to at least two Palace Resorts.

GIULIA UMILE (LEFT) AND FIANCÉE

So, Umile immediately contacted Le Blanc and filled out the form requesting a sunset wedding ceremony on the beach for Nov. 9, 2019. More than 30 guests would stay at the spa resort for one week, with a price starting at around $800 per night.

A destination wedding made sense for Umile, a Fishtown resident. “We’re older, our friends are more established and financially secure — with enough notice, they can come.”

The sales coordinator for weddings, Laura Jimenez, responded the same day Umile PAGE 6 contacted Le Blanc, on

Philly’s first out trans police officer buried as a man

By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com

By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com Maria Gonzalez spent the last 15 years of her life as a woman. Her dying wish was to be buried in a pretty dress while wearing red lipstick and matching nail polish, according to a relative who was her primary caregiver.

But on the day of her funeral, family and friends said goodbye to her ashes, which were placed in a wooden box adorned with white and blue flowers. A blue ribbon wrapped around the flowers next to a metal pendant that read: “Dad.” Gonzalez did not include her funeral wishes in her will and didn’t put her request in writing. Gonzalez’s ex-wife, Chrissy Hernandez Gonzalez, and daughter, Celina Huber, organized the service, even though they were not supportive of her living as a woman, said family members who were close to them.

“Family life was difficult for Maria,” said Linda Greiser, Gonzalez’s sister. “When she came out, [Hernandez Gonzalez] kicked her out of the house and wanted nothing to do with her. There wasn’t much of a relationship between my sister and [Huber] for 15 years. She made attempts, but nothing worked.”

“Maria expressed to me numerous times that if her ex-wife or daughter were in charge of her funeral, she would have the worst funeral ever. Unfortunately, she never put anything into writing,” Greiser said.

Gonzalez was the first openly transgender officer in the Philadelphia Police Department. She died Oct. 12 from lung disease at age 71.

Gonzalez joined the PPD in 1967.

She spent 21 years on the force in North Philadelphia’s 23rd District, which included a stint on horseback as a mounted officer.

For 15 years, Gonzalez served as a firearms instructor at the Police Academy. In 2004, she publicly announced her transition after delivering a letter to a supervisor announcing her decision to live and work as a woman.

Gonzalez was transferred to the Differential Police PAGE 12

Election recap

Making “Boy Erased” visible

With more than 95 percent of the vote, Malcolm Kenyatta will be the first LGBTQ person of color to serve as a Pennsylvania state representative.

Kenyatta pulled in 20,722 votes against challenger T. Milton Street, who got only 1,014. At age 28, Kenyatta is also the youngest representative to fill the 181st District seat that covers North and North Central Philadelphia, Yorktown, Francisville, Glenwood, West Poplar, Northern Liberties and Kensington.

He campaigned largely on a platform to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour, in addition to proposing a fair-funding formula for public schools and solutions for the systemic poverty PAGE 9 that plagues his district.

“My heart is so full. What this race proves is anything is possible,” Kenyatta told PGN after his win Tuesday night. “There were no black, gay elected officials that I could look up to. I hope there are kids out there who say that they want to serve one day and there won’t be barriers to do that because of how they identify or who they love. I hope this starts a ripple effect of trans people and black and brown people who will say they can run — and they can win.”

Federal judge urges settlement talks in foster-care dispute

By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com A federal-appellate judge this week urged city officials and Catholic Social Services to avoid protracted litigation by resolving their legal dispute regarding CSS’ refusal to place foster children with same-sex couples.

“This cries out for some type of resolution,” said Third Circuit Judge Thomas L. Ambro during oral arguments Nov. 6. “As I look at this case, it seems like people are trying to get together. I don’t know why we hit this constitutional wall.”

In March, city officials stopped referring foster-care children to CSS after published reports disclosed the agency wouldn’t place children with same-sex couples. City officials said CSS’ policies violate the city’s Fair Practices Ordinance, which bans LGBT bias in public accommodations. But two months later, CSS filed suit against the city, claiming violations of its constitutional rights to freedom of speech and religion.

During a 75-minute court proceeding, Lori H. Windham, an attorney for CSS, told Ambro the agency would like to resolve its differences with the city. “CSS doesn’t want to be in federal court,” she told Ambro. “Unfortunately, the city has dug in its heels.”

John Waters: The smartest, trashiest man in the room returns

By A.D. Amorosi PGN Contributor John Waters reiterates his fascination with all things garrulous and gross in his new memoir “Mr. KnowIt-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder.”

Out-filmmaker turned author and public persona will be at Parkway Central Library on May 23 to talk beyond the reels of early-mondo trash classics “Pink Flamingos,” and “Female Trouble” as well as latter-day flicks such as “Serial Mom” and “Cecil B. Demented.”

“My specialty is making things that other people hate,” said Waters from his office in Baltimore, his longtime home. “My gross ideas are not what most people think. My idea of gross is the very predictable romantic comedy or a $100-million dollar science-fiction story with no dialogue and all special effects.

They’re gross because I have no interest in them — they almost sicken me. Even gore is old hat these days.”

It’s been a while since the iconic auteur’s movies have been in theaters — the last was “A Dirty Shame” in 2004. Still, Waters said that his writings are cinematic exercises.

“At the very least, I want people to make movies out of my books. At one point, with “Carsick,” someone wanted to make a movie of only the fictitious parts. So in this new book, there is my death chapter. I just read a review that says I turned my own death into a zombie horror movie —which is kind of true. Everything I write, in a way, is cinematic.”

Perhaps true, as many cameos are found in this new memoir. Along with an appearance from fellow filmmaker and Pop-Art icon Andy Warhol — “Andy was more important than Thomas Alva Edison and D.W. Griffith” — is Kathleen Turner who told Waters “pay attention to your stars as if your life depended on it, and Joey Heatherton “who spoke in tongues convincingly as

the script called, but seemed unable to stop.”

One of the more humorous stories in “Mr. Know-It-All” involves Waters’ experimentation with LSD again at age 70.

Waters, now a model of decorum, an old-world gentleman in expensive s u i t s said,

“That’s why I took it again — I wanted to feel what it [LSD] was like at 70, since I took it very successfully when I was young and never had a bad trip.

Now I had a lot more to lose, and basically a lot more to fear. I was reckless when I was young. At 70, not so many people are reckless.

Including me. It was a dare

I gave myself, but I had to be careful. I bought the very best acid and did it with someone I was close with, which would be Mink Stole.

I was glad to not be in control. I didn’t know what was going to happen, If I had known how strong it was going to be, I wouldn’t have done it. I wanted it to work. And it did.”

While Waters’ depiction of LSD might have most readers laughing out loud, of equal resonance is the way he speaks of Mink Stole — with such incredible sentimentality.

Waters is able to move in and out of humor and vulnerability effortlessly.

Waters is hilarious when discussing speaking engagements he calls “gay for pay” in his new memoir.

“Usually what people want to do is ‘honor’ you which means they want to use your name to sell tickets and raise money – which is fine. I’m flattered and always willing to do whatever. But I have a spoken-word show and none of the other people you’ve honored do – so that’s how I make sure we discuss payment since this is how I make my living.

I’d be honored too if you write me a check to do the show. So I’m gay for pay . . . I say it with humor hopefully. If I did that one for no money, I’d just be on a free-lecture tour my whole life.”

When asked about his talk tours, and a gay version of “filthier and dirtier,” Waters said, “I do a John Waters’ Christmas: filthier and dirtier, a horror one I do at horror conventions, a gayer one I do a at gay events. I’ve done them for the United States Conference of Mayors and the librarian convention of America.

I played Coachella and Bonnaroo. I have a version that I can change for every occasion, but they’re all pretty gay. I don’t have a straight version, though. Maybe, that’s what I should do next – have a hetero version, Now that would really be funny.” n John Waters in conversation with Jason Freeman begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available through the Free Library and cost $32.

ENTERTAINMENT PGNLISTINGS

Lesbian romance at center of bold Swedish sci-fi film

By Gary M. Kramer PGN Contributor Imaginative Swedish sci-fi film “Aniara” opens with what looks like an end-credits crawl as images of disasters unspool in the background.

“Say goodbye to Earth,” someone instructs as people look out the window on Aniara, a transport craft that resembles a floating cruise ship, complete with restaurants, shopping malls, arcades and a gym.

The crew and passengers are headed to Mars, where life will continue after the three-week space journey to a new home.

But what happens in “Aniara,” opening May 17 at Landmark Ritz at the Bourse, is not unlike, well, “Gilligan’s Island.”

When the ship veers off course, everyone is trapped for an indeterminant period of time. In those ensuing years —and they are years — there are hopes for rescue.

Meanwhile, society breaks down.

Cowritten and directed by Pella Kågerman and Hugo Lilja and based on the epic poem

by Harry Martinson, “Aniara” considers philosophical themes of life, death and birth, as well as love and sex, anxiety and despair.

The main character, Mimaroben (Emelie Jonsson), manages Mima Hall, which can best be described as an “escape room” — but not in the sense that phrase is used today. At Mima Hall, passengers take off their shoes, lie down and put their heads on a foam pillow to experience memories of Earth.

Mimaroben, for example, likes to reflect on nature and eating raspberries. Others envision scenes from their lives.

The room is initially not very popular until Aniara goes off course; suddenly, everyone wants to escape their present reality and recall a happier past. Mimaroben cannot handle the overwhelming demand.

One of the visitors to Mima Hall is Isagel (Bianca Cruzeiro), a comely pilot to whom Mimaroben is attracted. She can hardly suppress her lust when she spies on and admires Isagel in Mima Hall or in a pool, where they meet one night when they both can’t sleep.

The women’s romance shifts into high gear when they are reassigned jobs and end up rooming together. Isagel and Mimaroben start to dance; they soon share a shower and a kiss and then have sex.

Things get a little complicated as the years pass and they participate in a “kind of” orgy arranged by a “kind of” cult. While the film shrewdly offers only a title card about this secret society, as a result of the encounter, Isagel becomes pregnant.

“Aniara” uses the birth of Isagel’s child, as well as the rescue mission that is availed after years of orbiting, as a way of commenting on the preciousness of life in the crucible that is the transport ship.

The film asks — but deliberately does not answer — larger questions, such as how do

we provide for future generations, and contemplates immediate concerns about managing our food, education and our pleasure in a society that is decaying. It is an obvious but critical allegory for life on Earth.

While this fable is compelling, it doesn’t generate much emotion as it presents lessons for humanity. Scenes where Mimaroben actively tries to save Mima Hall from being destroyed by overuse, or a man experiencing the anxiety of what he fears to be impending death, are curiously unmoving.

Likewise, while it is pleasing that the intimate relationship between Isagel and Mimaroben is accepted and not condemned, the bond between the women and their child feels underdeveloped.

Moreover, it’s difficult to care about the film’s characters because they are primar-

ily symbols and cyphers rather than actual people. Even Mimaroben’s first roommate (Anneli Martini), a wise, older woman known as The Astronomer, is as cold and unfeeling as the spaceship’s design.

That said, the film’s visuals are impressive, particularly since “Aniara” was filmed with a relatively low budget. The special effects are stunning, from birds disintegrating in the sky, to the design of the spacecraft and the futuristic images that populate various screens in Mima Hall and elsewhere.

The performances, however, are uneven.

Jonsson is sympathetic as Mimaroben, and she has a number of impassioned scenes including a piercing meltdown. But the film has too many didactic moments where her character serves as a guide for viewers to follow the action.

Cruzeiro is suitably enigmatic as the alluring Isagel, a woman who mostly represses her emotions. She does become intriguing once she becomes a mother, but Cruzeiro is hampered by a script that doesn’t sufficiently flesh out her character.

This drawback is indicative of the film’s greatest flaw: The drama is too subdued.

“Aniara” is simply too passive to generate much interest; the discussion of the ship being rescued is only briefly interesting.

Viewers, like the characters aboard the transport ship, may find themselves waiting, patiently or with resignation, for it to all come to an end. n

Amo Amo share the ‘Love’ with debut album and summer tour

By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Los Angeles-based psychedelic pop band Amo Amo is celebrating a summer of love with the recent release of a self-titled debut album and a tour that takes them across the country.

Amo Amo formed in June 2017 when a group of musicians and friends (Love Femme, Omar Velasco, Justin Flint, Shane Mckillop and Alex Siegel) got together for an impromptu session in Los Angeles with Jim James, the singer, guitarist and producer of art rockers My Morning Jacket.

Love Femme, the band’s queer singer, whose pronouns are zi/zir said zi happened to join the group in the studio as they were recording songs.

“We travel in similar music circles,” zi said of zir connection with the other band members prior to Amo Amo. “Jim was really interested in one of Omar [Velasco’s] projects, which involved almost all the members that ended up in Amo Amo. They invited me to sing one day at a studio session, and that’s how I got involved. The five of us decided that this was the direction we wanted to go in.”

The musicians started clicking creatively and, five months later, the group now named Amo Amo emerged with a collection of songs that have one foot

planted in the colorful folky, disco-ish, soft-rock of the 1970s and the other in the ambient new wave and alternative electronic sounds of the 1980s-early ’90s. While Amo Amo’s sound is hard to pin down, it is even harder to resist.

“We collectively have eclectic influences,” Femme said of the group’s creative muses. “I grew up listening to The Doors a lot, and also Heart and Janis Joplin and also a lot of doo-wop too.

We have a love of older music.”

Femme said zir name’s connection to the band name (‘amo’ is Spanish for love) is coincidental and intentional at the same time.

“Love is short for Lovell,” zi said.

“It just kind of worked out that way.

When we were writing songs for the

album, one of the songs had ‘amo’ in it. We talked about the idea of what we wanted to make music about, love being one of them, so Amo Amo was an appropriate name for the band.”

Femme said that zi hopes the group’s sonic message of love resonates with LGBTQ listeners.

“I would hope that me being queer would appeal to more femme and LGBTQ fans,” zi said. “I would hope that they would feel safer coming to our shows. It’s just who I am. Mostly, I do it for my own well-being and for my own ability to honor the feelings I’ve had since I was very young. If our songs make people feel safe and happy and give them a sense of inclusion and they’re inspired, that’s wonderful.

But, first and foremost, it’s about my own emotional wellness and expressing myself in that way.”

Aside from being a songwriter and singer, Femme further stretched zir artistic talents when directing one of the band’s videos for their dreamy reggae-infused single, “Closer to You.” “Everybody contributes on that level,” zi said of the band’s creative processes for songs and videos. “When I came in, that was a big part of what I was doing. ‘Closer to You’ — I directed and edited that one. We green-screened it. That was my creation with a lot of input from the band. We’re very egalitarian. Everybody had a say in it. The second video, ‘When I Look At You,’ was directed by Destefano Deluise.

The first time she ever saw us play, she had the idea for this music video in her head. She was so excited and completely came up with that whole thing.

So we just went with it.”

Like the group’s sound, Amo Amo’s video harkens back to a time when videos were both works of art and playful instead of sensory-numbing promotional tools and ego trips. Femme said zi sees the band’s videos as forward thinking instead of some form of retro nostalgia.

“I think of videos as a reference to the future and futurism instead of a throwback to the past,” zi said. “Visually they represent the powerful nature ideology that, miraculously, we can all just watch anywhere, any time on our phones. So I think that it’s a wish for now and there’s hope for the future. That’s what I think about for music videos, that someone is going to see this and feel what we feel right now. The glory days [for music videos] are right now because I get to have a say in it.”n

Amo Amo opens for Jim James 8 p.m. May 19 at The Fillmore, 29 E. Allen St. For more information or tickets, call 215-309-0150 or visit https://amoamomusic.com.

Eve Ensler: Free at last

By A.D. Amorosi PGN Contributor As the author of cultural phenomenon “The Vagina Monologues,” as well as works such as “In the Body of the World” and “Insecure at Last,” Eve Ensler has spent years exploring the mind’s crevices and the body’s physical plane.

With the finesse of a forensic psychologist, the playwright’s work has left readers and audiences more in touch with what it means to “feel.”

With the arrival of the #metoo movement, Ensler said she felt compelled to write about her perils and scars — to write in her father’s voice.

In anticipation of her May 22 appearance at Parkway Central Library, Ensler spoke about her newest book, “The Apology,” a therapeutic collection wherein she gives her abuser the chance to apologize.

PGN: It’s difficult to jump into an interview when a story is so painful and evocative.

EE: Hard to intro, I know.

PGN: Thirty-one years after your father’s death, why did you decide to

over and over and the recent innovation of #metoo, I started thinking about how we called men out, how we’ve broken the silence. And I started to think: Well, what are men really doing? What is changing? I mean, some have lost their jobs momentarily. Some have lost face or gone to prison. But I had never read anywhere the case of a man going through deep and true self-interrogation, looking at his childhood, examining the roots of violence within himself.

PGN: You really went deep, trying to make him take responsibility and

accountability so as to make a genuine apology.

EE: I couldn’t think of one real apology.

Lots of men feeling sorry for themselves. Lots of self-pity. But nothing to change or transform the energy within themselves toward women. I started to think what would a real apology look and sound like — what its texture and tone might be. So I decided to write one.

See what it could do.

PGN: Do you know any men who have offered genuine apologies?

EE: I certainly know men who are better representatives. But have I heard an apology? No. Maybe gay men have been apologetic. Many gay men I know have suffered similar trajectories. Most men feel shame, but just don’t know what to do about it.

address the physical and sexual assault you experienced at his hands now?

EE: As we survive, and then begin to find a way to recover, we have to go through a lot of internal work. So, it’s been a long journey to get here: writing, all kinds of therapy, bodywork, an entire life of trying to get myself out of the cave. I think what happened was having worked in the movement for violence against women for all these years of my life thinking about these issues,

PGN: When you began to write, what did the first pages look like? Was the book always in your father’s voice?

EE: I felt like I wanted to hear what I needed to hear come out of my father’s mouth, in the way that my father spoke.

It was a profound writing process. I didn’t know who was in who — was I in my father? Was he in me? What I discovered was, when someone abuses you and they violate your body and your existential being, they actually enter you. We get to know our perpetrators even better than we know ourselves, particularly if they are members of our family. We’re always anticipating what they’ll do next.

PGN: You become a psychic detective.

EE: Yes, like a sleuth as to what their

PGN

PGN: How did your childhood experiences affect your romantic relationships?

EE: I’ve been with men and women my whole life. The relationship with my father had a profound effect on all my relationships. I was not capable of a certain kind of intimacy. It’s claustrophobic for me — intimacy. I always believed I was secondary. So, what’s going to happen now that I feel an openness, a readiness? I don’t know if it will manifest itself in terms of relationships. We’re told that we need to be in one-on-one relationships, but that isn’t the case in my life. My friends, my comrades in the struggle, have always been my deepest relationships.

mood is — what this signals. So, I have always remained in a dialogue with my father. I was kind of surprised to see how different his language and his voice was. That was kind of like ‘whoa.’ Once it started to speak, that portal opened, it didn’t stop.

PGN: As a playwright, you’re probably practiced in voice.

EE: It is something to which I am accustomed. Still, I was surprised to hear how deep and clear that particular voice came through.

PGN: Do you ever wonder if you got your voice from his voice or your mother?

EE: Really hard to say. I don’t know.

Maybe in reaction. I think I found my voice fighting for my life, you know? In resistance. In trying to not be destroyed in the tsunami of cruelty and violence.

PGN: While writing the book, did you feel as if you were in harm’s way again?

EE: I certainly did go back and relive a lot of this. But, now, I honestly can tell you that it feels like it’s pretty done.

Do you remember at the end of Peter Pan, where Tinkerbell just goes whoosh and disappears into the distance? That’s what I feel like – that my life has been framed by a particular paradigm, which is pretty much playing victim to my father’s perpetrator for 60 years. Now it’s over, and I don’t know which paradigm I’m in anymore. I’m excited but a little lost. It feels like I’m in a car, and I don’t know how to drive it quite yet.

But I love driving. n

PGN: Where does your mother fit into this story?

EE: She was, to some degree, a person in the shadows. She had no power with the CEO organization and was, at best, an assistant — an exploited and demeaned one at that. When you’re living under a tyrant — and you need only look toward our current Predatorin-Chief to understand — no one else has any power. You live within another’s rampage.

Local singer produces concert series by and for womxn

By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com

Philly singer Martha Stuckey, has launched a local concert series created by womxn, performed by womxn and celebrating womxn musicians.

Called “The Thank You Next Show,” the May 18 concert is billed as an “all womxn single release and tribute” and will feature performances by Stuckey, Sophie Coran and out performer MG Vasio from The Lez Wedding Band.

Stuckey said she was inspired to produce the concert series after witnessing a fair amount of sexist attitudes in the music scene while she was with her last band.

“I had this band that had been around for the last six years called Red 40 and the Last Groovement, and in the time that I was gigging and recording an album — being in the world — I experienced a lot of misogyny and microaggressions, and sometimes macroaggressions,” she said.

When the band was recording their album someone on the “technical end of things” was in the room.

“We recorded that song and some people in the band thought that the song was too fast. Some people in the band thought it was too slow. After about ten minutes of hemming and hawing, I was just like, let’s

record it two more times, one time faster and one time slower,” Stuckey said.

Inevitably, it was the voice in the back of the room that upset Stuckey. The aforementioned technical member said, “Whoa!

Hillary!”

This comment came before the election,

so it took on a different tone, according to Stuckey.

“I gave him this look like, ‘What did you just say to me?’ What baggage do you have where a woman making a declarative and pragmatic statement makes you uncomfortable where you have to invoke something like that?”

She went on to praise Hillary Clinton, saying she was an “incredibly talented, smart, accredited figure.”

It was this situation that propelled Stuckey to consider an event that focused on womxn and the experiences of womxn, along with “what it means to be femme.”

Stuckey said the experiences she has had collaborating with womxn have felt supportive.

“Everybody is taking care of themselves and offering care. There’s inequality in the music industry, just like any other industry.

So it seems like if I write experiences from a place where my feminist politics come from, then I should put my money where my mouth is so to speak, and include it in my production process as well.”

Because of her interactions with artists across the spectrum of the Philly music community, Stuckey said that it was important for her to include queer artists in the vision she had for this concert series.

“I have been in the theater niche in Philly, which has been really good to me.

Once I started meeting people, I knew there was a wealth of womxn and other queer performers.

“MG Vasio, we were working on a show at William Way and it was the last gig that Groovement was doing, and I was thinking about a new venture and what direction I was going to go in. MG was the sound person and you never see non-males working sound at gigs. We got to talking and she said she plays drums and produces tracks, which is another rarity unfortunately.”

Stuckey said her all-womxn concert series is going to be a regular occurrence — but not one that happens so often that it becomes “a grind.”

“I’m thinking it will be every six weeks.

I definitely suffered from burnout in Red 40 when we were going. We were eating and sleeping gigs and there was one day when I was leaving to go to something, and my partner was like, ‘Can you give me a kiss?’ And I was like, ‘Don’t give me one more thing to do!’ And I realized I was going too hard. As part of self-care and being thoughtful about how I can sustain a series like this, I’m going to be intuitive about setting dates.” n Martha Stuckey presents “The Thank You Next Show” 7:30 p.m. May 18 at the Crane Arts Building’s Studio 1, 1417 N. Second St. For more information or tickets, visit marthastuckey.com.

‘Dear Evan Hansen’ star debuts solo vocals in Philly

By Gary M. Kramer PGN Contributor

Simon swallowed whole the soul of an older Anohni — matched his sophisticated folk-pop-jazz melodies and open, rich instrumental arrangements. Deeply personal lyr-

Broadway has made more than a few solo vocal stars — Idina Menzel, Robert Goulet, Leslie Odom Jr., and Barbra Streisand to name a few.

Ben Platt, however, is a different animal: one who purrs, not roars. He doesn’t bellow or bolt for the rafters with each clarion call.

Platt first showcased his abilities when he starred in the tenderly dramatic and tremulous Pacek and Paul musical “Dear Evan Hansen” as its quirky, hushed, titular character — a tragicomic role that landed him a Tony. He also won a Grammy for his part in its Atlantic label soundtrack and even a Daytime Emmy for performing several of its songs on NBC’s “Today” show.

Now Platt has released his debut solo album, “Sing to Me Instead,” whereon the actor, singer and writer co-penned all 12 of the album’s tracks. His first solo show was in Philly on Sunday – Mother’s Day – at The Met Philly.

If it was a shuffling, soft-shoed balladry and brushed-denim soul you were after, stopping at Platt’s solo Philly debut was an answer to the prayer.

Opulent, winding vocal turns on “Honest Man” and “Hurt Me Once” were met with Platt’s tales of past relationships. Beyond the buoyant balladry, Platt’s up-tempo material such as “Share Your Address” showed a command of songbooks from both the Motown 60s and the Platt’s Sunday set list. He never even Great White Way 70s — particumentioned it or his other star turn, larly in the way he interacted with “The Book of Mormon.” Instead, his three powerfully soulful and delthis night was all about the soaring icately nuanced background singsolo, free from the constraints of his ers. “Older” was a hammering piano alter egos. player’s dream.

Images of a half-century, the LGBTQ movement

By Gary L. Day PGN Contributor In honor of the Stonewall 50 celebration, the William Way LGBT Community Center is presenting a dual exhibition that focuses on the photographic documentation of the history of the LGBTQ movement, both locally and nationally.

Presented in conjunction with the John J. Wilcox Jr. Archives, the dual exhibits pull together literally thousands of images from the Stonewall Riots in 1969 to the present day with images of presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. Both exhibits are the work of historian Gabriel Martinez.

The larger of the two exhibits, titled “Tonight Is Forever,” takes a national perspective.

Martinez took thousands of images from the five decades of the movement (impressively, without any duplications) and transformed them into a type of wallpaper that covers the entire wall of William Way’s main lobby gallery. The images are arranged roughly chronologically, with each time period printed monochromatically with a color from the rainbow flag, each color flowing into the next, just as the years flow from one to the next.

Martinez has also highlighted different radical phrases from each time period to focus on the dominant movement themes from each decade. Those phrases are familiar to anyone who either lived through those times or studied our movement’s history: “Stop Persecuting Homosexual Citizens” “Save Our Children from Anita Bryant” “ERA Yes” “Ask Tell” “Silencio = Muerte” (Silence = Death) The entire exhibit is a truly immersive experience that transports the viewer through a time vortex.

The second exhibit, on display in the adjacent Archive Gallery, is called “LGBTQ Legacies: Art, Archives, Analysis.” This exhibit has

a much tighter, local focus, examining the photographs of Harry R. Eberlin.

Eberlin was PGN’s first staff photographer — starting in the mid-1970s — and stayed for almost 20 years.

He also worked for other local gay publications of the time, such as “The Gay Alternative” and “The Weekly Philadelphia Gayzette.” During those years, Eberlin was at most community events, political actions and bar parties.

A major purpose of the “Legacies” exhibit is to critically examine the nature of the documentation of movements during the era Eberlin was photographing. Eberlin’s work tended, of course, to reflect the priorities of the editors he worked for, and the fact is that the gay presses in those early days were often not inclusive.

In notes provided by co-curator Michael Carroll, he commented, “Regardless of the reason for it, the glaring disparity in representation of marginalized queers and cis white gay men exemplifies long-standing issues of racism and sexism in Philadelphia’s queer community both then and now.”

Eberlin’s photos still provide a fascinating (albeit narrow) look back at the nascent Philadelphia LGBT community. None of the subjects in the photos are identified. Part of the reason is that much of that information has been lost over the years — historical archiving was not seen with the same importance in the 1970s.

In his notes, Carroll says, “It is inevitable that information is lost over time. Names and dates are forgotten but mementos such as these remain. We are left to piece together a narrative from what artifacts persist to contextualize and preserve their legacy moving forward.” n

“Tonight is Forever” is at William Way’s main gallery in the first floor lobby, and is on display through June 28. “Legacies” will be on display in the Archives Gallery, and will run through August 30. For more information, call William Way at 215-732-2220, or visit waygay.org

Suzi Nash

Luke Bosco, aka ‘Luscious’: On a journey “Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”

— Lao Tzu

It may have taken Luke Bosco (aka Luscious) a few tries, but at age 27, and after living through trials and tribulations, he is standing tall.

PGN: When I met you, you were in a talent competition and your mother was the one talking you up — so are you a momma’s boy?

LB: [Laughing] Very much so.

PGN: What’s the best thing about your mom?

LB: Oh, where do I even start? She and I are super tight. She’s my biggest fan.

Ever since I can remember, whenever I expressed an interest in something, the next day she’d bring me to the store and buy me the instrument or put me in a class and see if it stuck. Usually it didn’t, but she tried nonetheless.

PGN: What were some of the things you tried and failed?

LB: Ugh. Violin, trombone, piano — though I still play. We tried singing lessons, dance lessons, art class. You name it.

PGN: Where did you excel?

LB: Art. I think some people would argue that that’s my best discipline, but I don’t find it’s the best for me considering I’m super hyperactive and need to be center stage. As soon as I get off a stage, I’m looking for the next opportunity to get back on it. As much as people want me to draw, I get the most satisfaction and fulfillment from entertaining people. Whether it’s on a stage or in a room full of people, I just love making everyone smile and laugh.

PGN: Any siblings?

LB: I have an older brother. His name is Matt, and he’s my best friend in the world. I worship the ground he walks on and think he’s the coolest person in the world.

PGN: What makes Matt marvelous?

LB: He just is. He’s in a very popular band called “Kicking Sunrise.” Their song “Here’s to the Sunrise” is the theme song for CBS Philadelphia. It’s what runs during the opening sequence.

I’m so proud of him.

PGN: That is pretty cool. Are your parents artistic?

LB: My dad is a carpenter, so he’s very creative that way. He works all by himself. He finishes basements, builds decks — you name it. I’ve always admired that he can build something out of nothing. I owe my artistic abilities to him because when I was a kid I would ask him to draw basic figures for me. Since he’s a carpenter, he’s good with proportions. He’d draw the bodies, and then I’d add the clothes. I loved drawing superheroes. My mom is the owner of a hair salon “Hot Waves” that I manage now. It was the winner for five years in a row of “Best Salon in South Philly”. She’s an absolute powerhouse.

PGN: So you grew up around hairdressers — LB: Yes, when I was born we lived in a house connected to the salon. We moved to South Jersey when I was 4, and when I got older and wanted to move back into the city my mom said, “Guess what? The house is open.” So, I got to move back into my childhood home. It’s nostalgic and awesome, and I love it!

done this all throughout high school!”

But I missed out. I was too focused on being popular, which I accomplished. I even won “Mr. Washington Township.”

PGN: I used to be on the board of GLSEN (a gay educational group), and the founder used a lecture in schools about how homophobia affected kids because the fear of being labeled “gay” kept so many from finding or following their passion. After one workshop, this kid who was a jock at the school said, “When they made us come to a lecture on gay stuff, I thought ‘why do I have to go? I’m not gay.” But what you said made me think of the time in 3rd grade when I brought home an art project.

My dad said, “What are you some kind of fag?” I didn’t even know what it

PGN: I know that many gay folks are in the beauty business. Did you get exposure to the community early on from that?

LB: Surprisingly, no. I had very little exposure to the gay community to the point that I convinced myself that I was straight and that the gay thoughts I was having could be pushed back. That’s not how love is shown on TV. That’s not what all my friends are doing. I was “straight” until I got to college.

PGN: What were some of your interests in school?

LB: I did very well academically, so much so that I got bored and lost interest. I was in trouble a lot because I’d finish my tests or assignments in class and then get bored and start goofing off and then I’d get kicked out, but still got good grades. Turns out I had undiagnosed ADHD. My brother had severe ADHD and, because he didn’t do well academically, he got treated for it, but I flew under the radar because of my grades and never got help for it. I had a hard time; it just didn’t look like it.

PGN: Were you into sports or theater?

LB: Nope. I was way too interested in trying to be popular. Theater was considered uncool, and I was doing everything in my power to look cool and fit it. Then the last month of my senior year a friend asked me to fill in for someone in a play. I did it and absolutely loved it. I was like, “I wish I’d

meant, but I could tell it wasn’t good. I quit class even though I loved it. Who knows, I might have become a great painter if it wasn’t for his homophobia …”

LB: Wow, that gave me chills. Luckily my parents were very supportive when I was coming out. My dad’s brother is gay so he was used to it. Frankly, they were cooler with it then I was. My mom was very, very Christian so I assumed that she was going to have a problem with it, but they couldn’t have been better. I, on the other hand, had some issues. I went to University of the Arts

and hated it: didn’t like the forced projects and classes. So I dropped out after a month without my mom’s permission.

I was really battling my sexuality, and it was really the lowest point of my life.

I was so focused on not looking gay; I figured if I was the bad kid or the funny kid, at least I wasn’t the gay kid. I was doing everything I could not to be gay.

I got into drinking and drugs, partied a lot and was a complete wreck.

PGN: Sheesh, that is a lot.

LB: I know, and just when I was starting to feel comfortable about who I was, I told one friend, one friend, because I needed to get it off my chest.

It was a shock to find out that Luke Bosco, Mr. Popular, Mr. Washington Township, was gay. It was huge news.

She told everyone and the next day the entire town knew. I was totally rejected.

I wasn’t invited to parties. Guys were afraid I was going to hit on them — it was horrible.

PGN: What got you through it?

LB: Well, I got an opportunity to audition for the rapper T-Pain as a backup dancer. I got the gig and was able to tour the world as a dancer. It gave me something to live for. And as I was the closest thing to fame in our little town, I became the “it” kid again and was living my best life from that aspect.

Unfortunately, I was way too young for all that came with it. Too much money; too much freedom; too much trouble, and I blew it all. After touring the world, hanging out at T-Pain’s mansion with a strip club in the basement and a full arcade, doing music videos, I came home and had to work at Dunkin’ Donuts. I had a bad attitude; I was cocky and resentful until one day I woke up. I was like, “Luke, your personality is not working out for you.

You need to make a new one or you’re going to lose everything and everyone.”

I vowed to become the nicest person I could be, and I’ve tried to live up to that ever since.

PGN: How did you get the T-Pain gig with no real training as a dancer?

LB: I just got creative. It wasn’t one of those “Fame” type of auditions where they had a whole group of people and that, 5-6-7-8 kind of thing. They just had people go up one at a time and freestyle. I noticed that everyone was standing, so when my turn came, I grabbed a chair, jumped in the air, pulled it open and came down on it and then did the whole audition dancing sitting down. It was something to make me stand out and it worked.

During the early-morning hours of June 28, 1969, LGBTQ people threw bottles, coins and debris at police outside the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village.

SEXx Interactive, a local collective of activists and artists, has organized an event that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the riots: “Stonewall: Roots.

Rage. Revolution.”

The provocative mix of TEDx-style talks and sex-positive entertainment is being held May 17 at the Ruba Club, 416 Green St. Proceeds from the event will benefit GALAEI, Philadelphia’s queer Latinx social-justice organization, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

This year’s SEXx, the sixth annual version of the collective’s signature event, is roughly divided into two halves.

In the first, attendees will hear brief presentations from various speakers including Briyana D. Clarel, who will explore the connections between art and healing in a talk titled, “Non-Linear Journeys: Adventures in Black Queer Creating & Healing.” Amanda Cruz Gerena will discuss the negative impact of colonialism in “Puerto Rico’s Colonial Status & Queers.”

The first half of SEXx includes lighthearted fare too. Evie Snax, one of the cofounders of Hot Bits, a queer erotic film festival, will screen “Kitchen Talk” and “Orally Fixated.” Drag king Rasta Boi Punany, the first person of color to win the title of Mr. Philadelphia Drag King, will perform.

SEXx’s focus on queer and trans people of color is deliberate, according to Elicia Gonzales, who cofounded the group with Dr. Timaree Schmit in 2014.

As she pointed out, Marsha P. Johnson, a black drag queen, and Sylvia Rivera, an early trans-rights activist of Latinx descent, were integral in the Stonewall riots.

“The LGBTQ community sometimes does a bad job of honoring the history of queer and trans people of color and whitewashing our history,” Gonzales said.

To help rectify that, the SEXx collective — which has expanded to include David Acosta, Susan DiPronio, Didier García, Feminista Jones and Katelyn Regan — has programmed an evening that focuses at on the experiences of those who have been overlooked.

As Gonzales explained, “It felt very much in line with the need to remind folks that we would not have our rights as LGBTQ folks were it not for queer and trans people of color who were fed up

and, quote-unquote, threw the first brick during the Stonewall riots.”

But this anniversary event isn’t an exercise in mere nostalgia. An important part of SEXx’s intention is to commemorate the liberatory spirit of Stonewall by connecting it to the present.

In celebrating the roots of LGBTQ equality, Gonzales said, the collective is also “honoring the rage that drives us still, that drives us still towards equity, and then revolution, which continues to sort of evolve and take shape as we continue to fight for our collective liberation.”

Jorian Veintidos, who is presenting a talk called “Positively Queer,” exemplifies how LGBTQ activism manifests itself today. The 26- year-old, who works at GALAEI, is an HIV and sexual-health activist. He was diagnosed with HIV at 19.

Veintidos also created a website called Positively Queer, a fun, friendly informative resource for poz folks and their allies.

“It’s really a story of my life on that website,” he said. “It shows me being HIV-positive and what that looks like amongst my allies who support me.”

This is Veintidos’ first time attending SEXx and he’s presenting, he admitted, thanks to some gentle nudging from Gonzales. Despite the usual jitters, he said he’s excited about the prospect of talking about his activism in an informal and supportive atmosphere.

“You know, a lot of times we only talk about these things in conferences or in personal spaces. And to do something at an event like this — it’s very powerful to me.”

While SEXx primarily aims to educate with this commemorative forum, the organizers said they also want guests to have fun. That’s why they’ve included performers like Jade Glitterbomb, a local burlesque artist.

After all the presentations and performances, DJ Saint Manifest will spin tunes so that attendees can get out of their seats and get down on the dance floor.

“Dancing is a super-revolutionary act,” Gonzales said.

She added that the collective views promoting pleasure as a vital aspect of its mission — one that’s equally as important as education.

“We wanted to create space in which people could just come out, be their full selves, shake to some tunes, and to be able to join together in community in a way that’s celebratory and lifting people up, helping people find their joy, and like really just be in their bodies.” n Tickets for SEXx Interactive’s upcoming event, “Stonewall: Roots. Rage. Revolution,” range from $5 to $20, with queer and trans* POC “to the front.” For more information, visit www. sexxinteractive.com.

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 Sheriff reserves the right to reject any certified check, attorney’s check or money order that on its face has an expired use date and is presented for payment of the deposit.

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 set by the City of Philadelphia.

In no event will the successful bidder be allowed to settle on the property unless all the Sheriff’s costs are paid notwithstanding the final bid.

The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly.

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, 215686-1483 and to its website philadox.phila.gov and to its website at http://philadox.phila.gov where they can view the deed to each individual property and find the boundaries of the property.

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.

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

Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office Sheriff Jewell Williams

OVERVIEW OF THE SHERIFF SALE PROCESS There are two types of Sheriff Sales. The Judicial Mortgage Foreclosure Sales and the Tax Sales. The Tax Sales include Tax Lien, Tax Collection, and Tax Delinquent Sales.

Tax Sales When the owner of a property located in the City of Philadelphia fails to make a payment arrangement on municipal debt levied on his/her property, that property may be sold at the Tax Sheriff Sale to allow the City to collect on that unpaid debt. These debts can include outstanding water and sewer bills, School District of Philadelphia taxes, and city property taxes. The sales also provide individuals the opportunity bid on and become the owner of tax delinquent properties, thereby acquiring lots, houses, or commercial and industrial buildings.

Judicial Mortgage Foreclosure Sale The Judicial Mortgage Foreclosure Sherriff Sale is the process by which mortgage companies and other financial institutions seek to collect debts owed to them, particularly in instances where a homeowner defaults on his/her mortgage payments. As with Tax Sales, Foreclosure Sales allow individuals the opportunity to bid on properties and become homeowners.

How much will a property cost?

The lowest bid that can be offered is $600 and each successive bid must be made in $100 increments. The highest bidder will win the property and must be prepared to make a $600 or 10% deposit (whichever is highest) with a certified check or money order made out to the “Sheriff of Philadelphia.” The remaining balance must be paid within 30 days of the sale. An extension of time to pay the balance is rare but may be granted by the Sheriff upon written request.

The second bidder If you have been out-bid on a property, you can have your name recorded as the second bidder. If the highest bidder does not pay the balance in 30 days, the second bidder shall be granted the same 30 limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his/her second bid. The second bidder 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 stage. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered at the sale.

How do I learn which properties are to be sold?

All properties that are court ordered to be sold at Sheriff Sales are advertised in the Legal Intelligencer and on a rotating basis in a paper of general circulation. You can also view a list of properties to be sold at Sheriff Sale online by clicking here.

When and where do the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Sales take place?

The Judicial Foreclosure Sale is held on the first Tuesday of each month. There are also four different Tax Sales conducted each month and one on a quarterly basis.

Click here for a list of all Sheriff Sales currently scheduled. All sales will take place at 9:00 AM at the First District AME Plaza located at 3801 Market Street on the 3rd Floor.

How are the properties identified before and during the sale?

Each property has an identification number called the writ number, which is listed in the newspaper and on our online listing before the property address. This number is used together with the property address when the property is offered for sale. The sale is conducted by an auctioneer who calls out each party by writ number and address.

IMPORTANT: Notice of owner’s Right of Redemption after a Tax Delinquent Sale Even if you win a bid on a Tax Sale property, within nine months of the acknowledgement of the deed, the owner of record can go to court and get permission to recover the property by paying all back taxes and the money paid by the winning bidder. This is called the Right of Redemption. Therefore, if purchase a property through Delinquent Tax Sheriff Sale and invest funds to improve the property in the first year, beware that those funds can be lost. The right of Redemption is only applicable if the property scheduled for Tax Sale is determined to be owner occupied 90 days prior to the sale.

If the property is unoccupied or abandoned, there is no Right of Redemption.

The Right of Redemption does not apply to any property sold at the Mortgage Foreclosure Sheriff Sale. One way to protect yourself is to contact the City’s Department of Licenses and Inspections to determine what outstanding code violations, if any, exist in the property.

Any work done to correct these violations must be reimbursed to you if the original owner reclaims the property during the Right of Redemption period. Therefore, make sure you get and keep detailed and accurate receipts for code related renovations.

PORTRAIT from page 47

PGN: What was the most outrageous thing that happened on tour?

LB: We were doing a show in San Francisco, and after the show he wanted to go to a club three hours away. So we drove three hours in a party bus, and because I was underage, they snuck me in between two guys while they distracted the bouncer. I partied in a club I had no business being in, but I had the time of my life.

PGN: What was one of the best moments?

LB: We performed for a sold-out stadium. Right before the show, T-Pain called for a prayer circle and said to us, “I’m going to do a new song I’ve never done before. Come to the bus so I can teach you the dance.” It was 15 minutes before the show. It was crazy, but we pulled it off. The song was “Best Love Song.” In it he says, “And now we’ve got the whole stadium in love.”

I remember looking out at the sea of people moving to the music and thinking, what am I doing here? I’m just a kid who likes to smoke pot and dance in people’s basement. How did I get here?

I think I even cried onstage because it was such a magical moment. To this day, it’s my favorite song. I think it was one of the best moments of my life.

PGN: Were you still in the closet?

LB: I thought I was. I found out later that the dancer I was rooming with was upset that he had to share a room with the gay guy.

PGN: So you came home and partied for a few years before getting a new attitude, what did you do then?

LB: I went back to college to study psychology. I wanted to learn more about how the human mind works, especially mine. I had a therapist, Dr. Amy, who helped me and was incredible. If it weren’t for her, I probably wouldn’t be here. I wanted to be able to help people too, whether through art or dance or music.

PGN: Going back to the arts, tell me a little about your alter ego, Luscious.

LB: Oh he’s great, very confident. He sings. He dances. He raps. He can do anything. I started by doing burlesque, but I was told I needed to do a certain style, slow moves, cabaret-style music, and I was like no. I’m doing it my way. I’m dancing to old school hiphop and pop music. I’m doing Magic Mike moves; I’m bringing the party to the people. I leave the politics at home because sometimes we can get too serious. I’ve been at shows where the performer is like “F Trump!” and of course F him, but sometimes people just want go to have a drink or celebrate a birthday and forget about that stuff.

They want to go out, see something fun and then get on the dance floor to shake

what their mamas gave ‘em.

PGN: Speaking of mommas, when/how did you come out to the family?

LB: That was through porn. My mother found it on the computer, but she was just like, “It’s OK. I love you and you’re my best friend forever.” My dad found out when I put something on Facebook about a guy I was dating. I worked with my dad as a carpenter for a while, and we were on a lunch break. He went to check his news feed and it showed that I was in a new relationship. He showed it to me and said, “Oh awesome, congratulations.” And that was the first time we ever talked about it.

PGN: That’s fantastic. Best Motown song?

LB: Shotgun from Jr. Walker & The All Stars PGN: Favorite piece of clothing?

LB: I have a pink baseball jacket that is really loud. I wear it when I want to be noticed. “Peacocking” if you will.

PGN: What do you keep in your wallet aside from money?

LB: A prayer card from Italy.

PGN: Best or worst experience at summer camp?

LB: [Laughing] I went to the same camp for about six years until I was old enough to be a counselor. I got fired the first day for calling a girl a brat. That was a past life when I was mean me.

PGN: What are you up to these days?

LB: Unfortunately, I woke up one day last October and was paralyzed from the waist down. I’ve always had back problems, and that day the disc just gave out, shattered and crushed all the nerves. It was something called cauda equina syndrome where the nerves are so shredded they look like a horses tail. I couldn’t walk, couldn’t move. I called my mom and said, “Girl, I need help I can’t move!” She came and took me to a hospital, and they sent me in for emergency surgery right away. I was in the hospital for a month-and-ahalf, and I had to teach myself to walk again. I suffer from seasonal depression as well, so in the winter I tend to stay home and write songs and choreograph dances. I’m still on the road to recovery, but I’ve started dancing again. I’m not as flexible as I was, but I’m able to move. I’ve done some backup dancing for a few artists and am making my own music as well as managing the salon. So there’s a lot going on. Big stuff coming this spring.

PGN: What’s the best way for people to find you and your alter ego Luscious?

LB: I’ve stopped using Facebook because people get too negative, and I’m all about keeping things upbeat. You can find me on Instagram @absolukely717 n
