LGBT float to debut in Fourth of July parade By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com For the first time, an LGBT float will form part of the Wawa Welcome America Fourth of July parade that runs through Old City. It will feature local drag queen Brittany Lynn, members of the LGBT community and Mummers. Decorations celebrating the 40th anniversary of PGN will also be on the float. Under the Sun Productions, a gay-owned business in Chester County that has worked with Welcome America for years, put an LGBT float in the early plans for this year’s event. The Mummers were part of the plan since the beginning. But Jeff Guaracino, the out head of Welcome America who took over in January, said he and his PAGE 14

Ambler adopts LGBT antibias law A Montgomery County borough passed an ordinance May 17 establishing a human relations commission that recognizes 13 protected classes, including sexual orientation and gender identity. Ambler Borough Council adopted the ordinance by a unanimous vote. People clapped after the vote, according to Jason Landau Goodman, founding executive director of the Pennsylvania Youth Congress, who attended the meeting. Ambler is one of at least 35 municipalities in the state to protect LGBT people from discrimination in employment, housing, commercial property and public accommodation. According to the ordinance, the borough’s human relations commission would include five volunteer committeemembers. Each appointee, either a resident or business owner in the borough, would serve a three-year term. The ordinance says one committeeperson will receive the complaint and conduct an intake meeting. The remaining four members will facilitate further mediation and vote on complaints. Those interested in joining the commission should contact Ambler Borough offices at 215-646-1000. n — Paige Cooperstein

A federal lawsuit was filed May 13 that seeks to end a state policy requiring trans people to undergo gender-confirmation surgery before the gender on their birth certificate will be changed. Named as defendants are Debra Romberger, director of the state’s Division of Vital Records, and Karen Murphy, secretary of the state’s Department of Health. Neither official could be reached for comment. According to the suit, requiring trans people to undergo gender-confirmation surgery in order to obtain an accurate birth certificate violates the equal-protection clause of the 14th Amendment. The birth-certificate policy also violates Pennsylvania’s “established law and policy banning transgender discrimination in state employment and by state contractors,” according to the suit. Non-trans people aren’t required to undergo surgery to obtain accurate birth certificates, the lawsuit notes. “Defendants’ policy, in providing inaccurate birth certificates to trans individuals with gender dysphoria — but who had not or will not undergo gender-confirmation surgery — while at the same time providing accurate birth certificates to all others, is without any rational basis,” the lawsuit states. The plaintiffs are “John Doe” and “Jane Doe,” trans Pennsylvanians who’ve requested anonymity. They’re not related. Both have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. But the Americans with Disabilities Act excludes trans-specific medical conditions for antibias coverage. The Does’ suit indirectly challenges the ADA’s exclusion on the basis that it violates their right to equal protection under the law. “A birth certificate is a fundamental identification document and, without their gender being accurately stated on their birth certificates, trans people with gender dysphoria but without gender-confirmation surgery undergo constant suffering and emotional and mental distress,” according to the suit.

Trans youth continues to seek name change A Montgomery County trans boy continues to seek a legal name change almost a year after his initial petition was filed in court. The youth, identified by his mother as “Aidan,” was 16 in September when Montgomery Common Pleas Judge Bernard A. Moore denied the name-change petition. Aidan recently filed a new petition under seal, which remains pending. A hearing is expected within the next few weeks before a different judge. Molly Tack-Hooper, an attorney for Aidan, said the case is moving forward. “In our legal brief to the court, we noted that one common trigger for harassment and violence against transgender people is when they have to present identification documents that show a first name inconsistent with their gender presentation,” Hooper said in an email to PGN. “And 51 percent of transgender students who are harassed in school report attempting suicide. The U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Education made very clear last week that federal law requires schools to treat students in accordance with their gender identities and safeguard the well-being of transgender students. We hope the court will embrace that same spirit of acceptance and grant Aidan the name change he so badly wants and needs.”

City pushes for dismissal of cop suit City officials last month filed a lengthy legal pleading in the case of Detective Kenneth Rossiter, who claims he was fired from the Philadelphia police force due to his union membership. Rossiter, who’s investigated several LGBT-related murder cases, was fired in July 2012. But an arbitrator ordered him reinstated nine months later, with full back pay and benefits. Then-Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey publicly accused Rossiter of overtime abuses, when announcing his firing. In a federal lawsuit, Rossiter claims his firing was retaliatory, due to his membership in the Fraternal Order of Police. He’s seeking an unspecified amount in compensatory and punitive damages. In December, U.S. District Judge Gerald A. McHugh denied the city’s request to dismiss Rossiter’s suit. Now, the city wants the Third Circuit Court of Appeals to dismiss Rossiter’s suit.

In a 57-page appellate brief filed April 25, the city argued that Rossiter wasn’t fired due to his union membership. Rossiter has until May 25 to file a reply brief. Neither side had a comment for this update. In 2007, Rossiter helped secure a first-degree murder conviction for Barry Mason, who shot to death Jamil Burton, an openly gay youth, after an alleged robbery in Center City. Mason died in prison in April 2015.

Hearing scheduled in abuse case A hearing has been scheduled regarding a lawsuit involving Germantown Academy, which is accused of facilitating same-sex abuse against a male student. “Joe Doe” claims school officials failed to stop abuse from fellow participants in a swim program. The alleged abuse of Doe includes being urinated on, having his nipples twisted in a painful manner, being kneed in the genital area and being threatened with anal rape. Doe’s lawsuit was filed in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court. But school officials recently requested that the case be transferred to Montgomery County Common Pleas Court, since the school is located in Whitemarsh Township. A hearing on the transfer request is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. June 13 in Courtroom 602 of City Hall before Common Pleas Judge Arnold L. New. — Timothy Cwiek

LGBT-victim advocate sought After grant funding got held up last year and two previous hires did not work out, Center City Crime Victim Services is ready to bring onto the team a full-time victim advocate to support LGBT people as they navigate the justice system and apply for crime-victim compensation. The deadline to submit a resume is midnight May 20. Interviews will start in the coming weeks. The organization has about a dozen applications in hand, said executive director Sherry Hunter. “It’s hard, number one, for LGBT victims to call the police because they don’t feel they’d have support,” Hunter said. “I’ve had a couple instances where victims come to us because they’re embarrassed, maybe their sexuality or gender is hidden from family and friends … I knew they needed someone to understand them.” Hunter first announced the creation of the LGBT victim-advocate position in July. Center City Crime Victim Services received a grant through the Victims of Crime Act last summer. Although the funds came from a program through the U.S. Department of PAGE 12

Philly AIDS Thrift wins $10K at luncheon celebrating LGBT business leaders

WINNING SMILES: The Philadelphia AIDS Thrift team celebrated being given the 2016 LGBT Business Award at Independence Business Alliance’s award luncheon Friday. On hand for the award announcement were PAT board member Michael Gagliardi (from left), board president Michael Byrne, PAT @ Giovanni’s Room manager Alan Chelak, PAT co-founder Christina Kallas-Saritsoglou and board member Roy DeLaMar. Photo: Scott A. Drake

By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com At the sixth-annual Business Leaders Luncheon last week, Philly AIDS Thrift received $10,000 from PNC Bank and the Independence Business Alliance, the region’s LGBT chamber of commerce. “It’s especially nice coming from a business organization and that our peers in the business community like what we’re doing,” said Roy DeLaMar, vice president of the PAT board. Philly AIDS Thrift has a flagship store in East Passyunk. Two years ago, it opened a second location, Philly AIDS Thrift @ Giovanni’s Room, at one of the oldest LGBT bookstores in the country, temporarily closed in 2014 before PAT revived it. The thrift store will put the $10,000 award toward improving the look and function of its website, www.queerbooks.com; enhancing its search prominence; and exploring targeted ad buys in online and print media. PAT wants to grow its Giovanni’s Room shop in part by increasing online awareness. “I’m proud to say we have been very true to the legacy of Giovanni’s Room,” DeLaMar said. “A large portion of what we sell there is new books and LGBT titles, but we do it with Philly AIDS Thrift style … We think there’s a real opportunity for us to take our online sales to scale there.” The money customers spend at PAT gets distributed to HIV/AIDS organizations throughout the Delaware Valley. This year, the store gave a total of $146,000 in grants to 17 organizations, bringing its total contributions to HIV/AIDS causes to more than $1.5 million since its 2005 inception.

DeLaMar accepted the LGBT Business Award in recognition of innovative practices May 13 at Sofitel Hotel in Rittenhouse. Alan Chelak, manager of Philly AIDS Thrift @ Giovanni’s Room, stood with him. IBA executive director Zach Wilcha used the occasion to unveil the chamber’s new multicolored logo featuring overlapping stars. Mayor Jim Kenney delivered opening remarks. He touched on this month’s federal guidance reaffirming a trans-inclusive interpretation of Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in education. He also noted his tweet in support of a lesbian student at a school near Harrisburg who was kicked out of her prom for wearing a suit. “That elicited this barrage of ugly, poisonous, nasty crap,” Kenney said. “It’s still dangerous out there … That’s why we all need to stick together.” Julie Coker Graham, president and CEO of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, was the keynote speaker. She announced the 2017 Out and Equal Workplace Summit would take place in Philadelphia, and praised her organization’s partners at Visit Philadelphia for making the city a top LGBT destination. Coker Graham added that the diversity of people, practices and businesses was a pivotal piece of Philadelphia’s bid to host the Democratic National Convention in July. “Philadelphia is truly open for business for everyone,” she said. “Diversity and inclusion are necessary ingredients for success … Not only do we talk about the diversity of our city, but we also talk about the diversity of the companies that are here and that they can do business with.” n

to pass transgender policy By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com The Lower Merion School Board unanimously passed a policy May 16 that outlines how officials will respond to the needs of transgender students. It addresses names and pronouns, privacy and academic records and proper incorporation into sex-segregated programs and facilities. Board members received a standing ovation from the dozens crowded into the administration building on Montgomery Avenue. Lower Merion is one of five known districts in the state to adopt a trans-affirmative policy. The other schools, all in suburban Philadelphia, are Great Valley, Springfield, Upper Dublin and Cheltenham. The Pittsburgh Public School Board will likely vote on its transgender student policy at a meeting next month. The School District of Philadelphia has a policy in the works that is expected to reach the School Reform Commission over the summer. After the vote, Kristen Cooney, a junior, and Maxwell Bruno Reiver, a senior, from Harriton High School in the district, streamed into the hallway outside the board room with other students who spoke during the meeting. They hugged and gave each other high-fives. Cooney had tears in her eyes. “This policy is the icing on the cake for [Lower Merion School District] to show that we are a district to be looked up to,” Bruno Reiver said. “As a graduating senior, I cannot express how grateful I am to have attended such a progressive, open-minded institution.” Bruno Reiver said he first began to explore his gender in 2013 and found Harriton a “positive, supportive community.” “I, as a trans youth, trying to figure everything out, much like my peers, was treated and regarded as equal to any other student.” Reiver spoke along with 24 others, including parents and students; current and former employees; health professionals; a reverend; and Ilene Wasserman, chair of the Lower Merion Human Relations Commission. Everyone who offered comment was in favor of the policy, called policy 259 for gender expansive and

transgender students. Jason Landau Goodman, founding executive director of the Pennsylvania Youth Congress, also spoke. He worked with several students from the Harriton GSA as they organized in support of the trans student policy. Several students looked forward to what the new policy would mean for the district. Cooney said everyone graduating next month would wear red robes. Previously, girls wore white and boys wore red. Lian Brody, a junior at Harriton, praised the policy for its focus on educating teachers and students. “I haven’t told a lot of my

the Montgomery Child Advocacy Project, a nonprofit for abused and neglected children, said she wanted to address some of the common negative reactions to trans-affirmative policies. Ringold acknowledged the refrain that a male predator may use a transgender policy to enter a girls’ restroom and abuse its occupants. But, she added, 80 percent of child abusers are parents and another nearly 7 percent are close relatives, according to The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System. “That means almost 90 percent of child abuse is happening at home, in your home, not at school

teachers about my identity because I feel like a lot of them aren’t going to understand,” said Brody, who uses the pronoun “they” to self-identify. “As a gender-expansive student, I feel like it’ll be a lot easier for me to come out to my teachers … since it’s going to be a set-in-stone thing that people will have to know about.” Brody said the policy mentions added curriculum for students, which they hoped could help alleviate some of the negative experiences that transgender, lesbian, gay and bisexual students have had in health classes. Usually LGBT topics aren’t covered, Brody said. Jill Ringold, who works with

She has two kids in the district, one in second grade and one in fifth at Cynwyd Elementary School. “If people are so concerned about the safety of their children,” Ringold said, “then the most important thing they can do is to educate their children about their bodies; what they have and how it works; who should be allowed to see and touch them, and when it is ever appropriate, as in when a doctor needs to see you to keep you safe or healthy. That’s the education that needs to be happening.” n

Emergency dispatch-records bill amended By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com The state Senate has amended a controversial bill that seeks to protect the privacy rights of 911 callers in Pennsylvania. Critics say an earlier version of the bill would have impeded the public’s ability to gauge the effectiveness of emergency responders. HB 1310 passed unanimously in the state House in October. But some of its language was amended, and the revised bill was passed May 11 in the state Senate. On May 16, the amended bill was referred to the state House Rules Committee, where legislators must decide whether to concur with the state Senate’s amended language. The original version prevented 911 call centers from releasing any information contained in 911 time-response logs that could identify a 911 caller. In Philadelphia, 911 time-response logs are known as computer-assisted dispatch records. Critics expressed concern that 911 call centers would interpret the bill broadly and withhold all information contained in time-response logs. The amended bill seeks to protect the identity of 911 callers by blocking the caller’s exact address. But it allows 911 call centers to release the nearest intersection, mile marker or “street block” of the incident. The Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association, along with 23 news outlets across the state, opposed the bill’s earlier version. According to the association, the earlier version “would have prohibited the release of all names, addresses and locations of 911 calls, preventing any way to measure

the speed or effectiveness of public emergency response.” The association notes that, with the amended bill, “there will be circumstances in which specific identifying information of a 911 caller may be withheld, including the precise street address of a caller, victim or witness.” The amended bill remained pending in the state House Rules Committee at presstime. Paula Knudsen, legislative counsel for the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association, expressed mixed feelings about the amended bill. “We believe the bill is unnecessary,” Knudsen told PGN. “But the amendment is an improvement.” She said the association will continue to monitor the situation. The amendment was introduced by state Sen. Randy Vulakovich (R-Allegheny), a former police officer. “The senator believes the amendment he offered provides a good balance between privacy rights of 911 callers and news-gathering needs of the media,” said Nathan P. Silcox, an aide to Vulakovich. Silcox added: “The senator was in communication with the state Office of Open Records and the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association before the amendment was adopted.” Erik Arneson, the OOR’s executive director, said he worked with Vulakovich’s office to help facilitate the amendment. “I think the current version of the bill strikes an appropriate balance between protecting 911 callers and providing enough information to allow the public to effectively evaluate the response times of emergency services,” Arneson told PGN. n

Center City synagogue welcomes LGBT community By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel is celebrating Pride season with its first-ever Pride Shabbat, a capstone of its building outreach to the LGBT community. The Center City synagogue will celebrate the Marom Kabbalat Shabbat May 20, which will start with a performance by Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus and be followed by an oneg with hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. The service is open to members and non-members. Suzanne Litke and wife Lisa Myers have belonged to BZBI for 13 years and raised their two children in the congregation. “From the minute we walked in, everybody treated us like a family,” Litke said. “This was 2003 and it’s hard to remember, but that sort of thing wasn’t all that common.” BZBI is a Conservative Jewish congregation, a movement that Litke said has been making progress on LGBT inclusion for many years. Litke noted that the movement began for-

mally allowing the ordination of LGBT rabbis in 2006 and approved same-sex marriage in 2012. “Before the U.S. fully caught up on that issue, our leadership had been working on it,” Litke said. While BZBI has long fostered an inclusive environment, she added, it wasn’t until recently that they began a formalized LGBT program. “BZBI has always been a welcoming community, they just hadn’t previously thought to be as public about that,” Litke said. “There was never a moment my family didn’t feel fully integrated; Lisa was on the board for years, now I am. But we came to realize that, just because we know that about ourselves, it doesn’t mean the rest of the world knows that. So now we’re making that effort to reach out and make sure all of the community knows they’re welcome here.” Last year, the congregation launched its Keshet Taskforce, an effort undertaken in partnership with the national Keshet, which supports LGBTQ Jews and institutions that PAGE 14 serve them.

feminist circus performers, Tangle Movement Arts

By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com A troupe of circus performers lumbered for a half-hour to raise four airplane-grade aluminum rods into the air, 20 feet above the lawn of a historic cemetery in West Philadelphia. It was a surprisingly sunny Saturday at the end of April as Tangle Movement Arts prepared for its hour-long performance at the Go West! Craft Fest at The Woodlands. The seven who set up the freestanding aerial rig began speaking in calculations to make sure there would be enough “hang space” for the performers. “Probably hanging on it will give us that extra inch by the end of the day,” said Lauren Rile Smith as she pulled on the trapeze. Also hanging from the rig were a rope, silks and lyra, commonly known as an aerial hoop. Rile Smith started Tangle as a queer feminist circus five years ago. She and her wife run the troupe, which includes 13 people. Guest artists frequently participate. They have two performances a year, with the next one slated for September, plus several pop-up “tinycircus” shows like the one at The Woodlands. Tangle also offers classes on Saturday mornings at the Performance Garage in Spring Garden.

“Circus uses strength that isn’t typically associated with female performance like pull-ups and lifting others’ body weight,” Rile Smith said. “Before circus, I was a poet. I realized that the highly physical medium of circus had a similar tension between spectacle and narrative.” She added the group’s outdoor performances are eclectic family-friendly showcases, while the indoor shows typically have more of a narrative, focusing on female relationships. “You can see a lot of queer circus artists performing heterosexual roles,” Rile Smith said. “There is value in those stories, but it’s great to have more than one. These diverse types of relationships and different icons of female strength become the muses that always get us going.” The tinycircus performers at the craft fair included Rile Smith, Faith Benamy, Alicia Campbell, Karen Schlegel, Melissia Grosjean and Will Dampier. Many were guest performers. Dampier lifted his fiancé, Grosjean, onto his shoulders the morning of the show. She untwisted the purple silks after the rig went up. Then he picked twigs out of the grass, so the performers wouldn’t have to worry about injuring their bare feet. The couple was the first to hit the rig to practice a duet on the rope. “I’ve always had female instructors,”

Dampier said. “Circus is 95-percent female.” He said it doesn’t matter what gender you are in circus, adding anyone will be respected for taking on the tough practice. Grosjean said she liked the medium because she could see how much stronger it made her. Despite some bruises, she also built muscle. “Tangle creates space to showcase all bodies,” said Benamy, who identifies as queer. “My body isn’t necessarily the most lithe. Being able to see people with a variety of bodies performing is nice.” Her tinycircus performance was a tribute to Prince. She wore a purple bow tie, leggings and glasses. When Benamy started with circus in

2011, she said she couldn’t climb the rope. But she soon moved to the hoop and became a regular on the trapeze with Tangle. Benamy said she got into circus after she went to a show and a performer offered some advice. “He said the secret was just to go and practice and do it,” she said. “There was nothing separating me from them except for hours of practice.” That held true for those performing with Tangle at the craft fair. Many had analytical day jobs as pharmacists or research professors. They’ve taken to circus as a different outlet, ranging from creative to physical. “I don’t have any dance or art background,” said Campbell, a pharmacist. She added it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to sign up for her first class at the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts. “But this group is so supportive. I’m training about four days a week now.” Schlegel liked the fact that the form offered the support of a team and the ability to stand out individually during a performance. “Circus is very community-oriented,” she said. “You have a whole support structure.” n To learn more about Tangle, visit www. tangle-arts.com.

Creep of the Week

D’Anne Witkowski

Ted Cruz’s Face

Editorial

Lifting the limit A bill is making its way through the state legislature that could finally bring a small measure of justice to the untold numbers of people who have been victims of childhood sexual abuse. But now the question is, will that effort be threatened by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia? By a wide margin, the state House approved a bill last month that would abolish a criminal statute of limitation for instances of child sex abuse, eliminating the time limit for when an abuser can be held criminally liable. Currently, victims of childhood sex abuse who were born before Aug. 27, 2002, have until age 30 to file criminal charges; those born after that date have until age 50. The proposed bill would also extend the time limit for when a victim can file a civil suit from age 30 to 50. Imposing a time limit on this type of crime is incompatible with the realities of childhood sexual abuse. According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, more than 40 percent of sex-abuse victims in the nation are under age 18 and more than 90 percent of them know their abuser, a dynamic that can instill added fear and guilt and lead many to internalize the effects of the abuse. The cloak of shame and secrecy may take years, even decades, to lift; the time it takes for that cycle to be broken shouldn’t protect abusers from prosecution. However, that’s just what Archbishop Charles Chaput has argued for; at his previous diocese in Colorado, he fought against a bill similar to the one currently proposed in Pennsylvania. Earlier this week, the archdiocese held two mandatory meetings for archdiocesan priests to discuss proposed legislation, though the focus of those meetings is unknown. It is possible that the Archdiocese of Philadelphia could mount a fight against this legislation; if passed, it could open up the archdiocese to litigation from victims of clerical sex abuse, which would doubtlessly deal the archdiocese another financial hit. However, if Chaput, as he has said, wants to make real strides to stamp out sex abuse within the church, he would support this bill. This is a way to not only bring a measure of closure and justice to people whose lives have been drastically altered by abuse, but to root out people who could still be abusing young people. We strongly support this bill and encourage readers to contact their state senators and urge them to vote in favor of HB 1947. n

If you're not a person of integrity, you shouldn't be working for the public."

Creating a problem I had once erroneously thought that 2014 or 2015 was going to be the year of “pee politics,” with clashes over trans bathroom rights taking up a fair amount of the fight for transgender rights. Little did I know what 2016 had in store. The biggest issue remains House Bill 2 in North Carolina. Gov. Pat McCrory remains defiant, even after the U.S. Department of Justice informed him the law violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964. While McCrory likes to point to “liberal Democrats” forcing his hand on HB2 — even after a report from the Charlotte News & Observer made it clear that both business leaders and other lawmakers tried to steer

McCrory away from HB2 — it is the stroke of his pen that moved the trans-rights movement to another level. He is right, of course. None of this happened in a vacuum, and fights over transgender access to public accommodations have been ongoing for some time now. Anti-trans bathroom laws have especially taken off in the wake of Obergefell v. Hodges. McCrory likes to claim it was Charlotte, N.C.’s expansion of protections based on gender identity and sexual orientation that forced him into action, citing “major public-safety issues” in a Feb. 21 email. Once again, McCrory was right in his concern — but, again, not quite in the way he may

have been suggesting. In the wake of the passage of HB2, many musicians have cancelled performances in North Carolina, and many businesses have shifted job and money out of the state. A handful of businesses have gone on record that all their bathrooms are trans-friendly, most notably Target. The Target policy has led to two important happenings. First, the American Family Association started an online petition, allowing people to sign onto a boycott of Target over the policy. The petition now has over 1.2-million signatures. It is also an unsecure online form that allows anyone to sign, multiple times, meaning that their claim is suspi-

cious at best. Second, it has led to a slew of reported cases of non-transgender people causing disruptions in bathrooms to either protest the policy or to “police” restrooms for their possible use by transgender people. Ellie DeLano on singlemomtism.com speaks of being spied on in the restroom by another woman, who stated in her defense, “Target lets men and homosexuals use just any bathroom now. I was making sure you were a woman.” Michael L. Merichko was charged with disorderly conduct after protesting the policy in a Bradley, Ill., Target location.

PGN AGING

Protecting LGBT seniors from abuse and exploitation Every year on June 15, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day highlights the damage caused by the abuse, neglect and exploitation of older adults. Pennsylvania, it should be noted, has the fourth-largest population of seniors in the country. By 2020, about 3.3-million Pennsylvanians are expected to be over the age of 60. As this population increases, the abuse, neglect and financial exploitation of older adults is becoming a critical issue we cannot ignore. For various reasons, elders can suffer from physical, sexual or emotional abuse at the hands of either personal or professional caregivers. Research suggests that one out of every 10 people 60 years and older who lives at home suffers abuse, neglect or exploitation, and that 44 percent of nursing-home residents report abuse or neglect. But according to Joseph Joseph Snyder, director of Older Adult Protective Services at the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, the most prevalent forms of reported abuse are self-neglect and financial exploitation, with the latter being the fastest-rising category. Dana Goldberg, Project SAFE coordinator for the SeniorLAW Center, adds that more than 7-million seniors in the United States fall victim to financial exploitation each year, and are defrauded of almost $3 billion a year. Financial exploitation can include stealing money, property or identity, as well as the misuse of wills, powers of attorney and other contracts. Seniors can fall for con games that promise prizes or instant riches, or ask for donations for worthy causes. And, unfortunately, seniors are not immune to scams in which they become romantically involved with someone (often younger) who attempts to take control of their finances, property or possessions. Social isolation is a key factor in cases of caregiver and self-neglect. Signs of neglect can include poor personal hygiene, unusual weight loss, lack of needed assistive devices such as glasses and hearing aids and failure to take required medication. These can be hard to detect if the elder is isolated and has no active ties to the community. Signs of physical abuse, such as bruises, broken bones, burns or other unexplained injuries, are sometimes obvious. Emotional and sexual abuse are harder to determine, as there may not be any visible signs, but the victims may be nervous, depressed, withdrawn and fear being touched. Seniors dealing with physical weakness, disability or even forms of dementia are especially vulnerable to abuse. They may fear losing the financial support of a relative or partner, or even a place to live. They are often, understandably, ashamed or

embarrassed to speak up or report abuse to outsiders or the authorities. Sometimes they even blame themselves and think the abuse will eventually stop if they just keep quiet. The matter of reporting or escaping abuse can be even more difficult for LGBT seniors. Many have endured years of discrimination and lack access to the social, economic and medical benefits available to non-LGBT adults. Seventyfive percent live alone and 20 percent have no one on whom to call in times of crisis. Guilt or shame can prevent them from coming forward publicly to report abuse at the hands of a partner or scam artist if it means discussing their sexual orientation. We are fortunate to have several state and local agencies that offer resources for victims of elder abuse. These include Older Adult Protective Quinn PCA’s Services, the SeniorLAW Center and the Center for Advocacy for the Rights and Interest of the Elderly (CARIE). Older adults experiencing abuse in long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and personal-care homes, can access additional support through the Pennsylvania Department of Aging’s Ombudsman Program. Victims of abuse and anyone who suspects abuse can call the following helplines: • PCA 24-hour Helpline: 215-765-9040 • CARIE Ombudsman Program: 215-5455724 • Pennsylvania Department of Aging Elder Abuse Hotline: 1-800-490-8505 • Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General Elder Abuse Helpline: 1-866-6232137

Gettin’ On

As responsible citizens, we can and must involve ourselves directly in preventing elder abuse and helping victims. The most important thing we can do is take an active personal interest in the lives of our older relatives, friends and neighbors, and do whatever we can to ensure that they continue to “age safely,” free from all forms of abuse and neglect. On June 4, the LGBT Elder Initiative will present a free workshop on “Aging Safely: Preventing Elder Abuse, Neglect & Exploitation.” It will explore ways elder abuse affects LGBT older-adult populations and will feature experts addressing these issues from medical, social and legal perspectives.

He lives in Center City and volunteers with the William Way Community Center and the LGBT Elder Initiative, which fosters and advocates for services, resources and institutions that are competent, culturally sensitive, inclusive and responsive to the needs of LGBT elders in the Delaware Valley.

40 years ago in PGN Rural Caucus releases report on Gay Lobby Day Adapted from reporting by PGN Staff Thirty percent of state legislators contacted on the March 23 Gay Lobby Day seemed favorably disposed to the interests of gay people, according to the report of the day’s events released in spring 1976 by the Rural Caucus Gay Lobby Day Committee. More than 80 legislators were reached in Harrisburg during the lobby day, and about 70 more were contacted in their home districts. Only two legislatures refused to speak with the gay lobbyists. Another 30 percent of legislators reacted negatively to gay rights, while the remaining 40 percent said they were undecided or indifferent. Participants in the lobby day noted that the effort had little impact on the legislators with negative opinions. But on the undecided folks, the visits “made a difference which will be visible in coming months.” The next action included a letter-writing campaign to support Rep. Norman Berson’s gay-rights bill, introduced in March 1976, and the sodomy-repeal bill to be introduced by Sen. Louis G. Hill. Presidential candidates reveal attitudes on gay rights Adapted from reporting by Richard Rusinow PGN publisher Mark Segal sent questionnaires regarding gay rights to all candidates in the 1976 presidential election.

Henry Jackson, considered the most vocal homophobe running for president, both declined to respond. Here’s what those who responded had to say: Jimmy Carter: “I oppose all forms of discrimination against individuals, including discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. As president, I can assure you that all policies of the federal government would reflect this commitment to ending all forms of discrimination.” Arizona Rep. Morris Udall: “Discrimination against homosexuals still exists in many forms, much of it based on false assumptions … I believe that citizens should be entitled to lifestyles of their own preference and that such choices should not interfere with equal opportunities for careers in the public or private sectors.” Idaho Sen. Frank Church: “The government should keep out of the moral decisions of citizens and they should not suffer disadvantages from such decisions.” California Gov. Ronald Reagan in a response written by an aide: “He has always believed that a person should be judged by a prospective employer on the basis of his or her qualifications. He is opposed to discrimination of any sort. At the same time, it’s his position that an employer has a right to hire the person he considers best suited to the job available.” n

position to be an activist,” Hunter said. “It’s not to change laws. It’s a support position for the victims.” She added activism is important work, just not within the scope of the LGBT victim advocate, who may attend court hearings with victims or help them talk to police or prosecutors. Center City Crime Victim Services takes its name from its location at 13th and Walnut streets, but Hunter said the organization helps people from all parts of the city and nearby suburbs. She added she hoped the renewed search for an LGBT victim advocate would also help the organization grow its volunteer pool to address the needs of LGBT victims.

Feds say schools must support trans students By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com The U.S. Departments of Education and Justice released a joint letter last week confirming that discriminating against transgender students is illegal under Title IX. The eight-page letter outlines how the departments “evaluate a school’s compliance with these obligations.” Noncompliance puts federal funding at risk. Since at least 2001, the departments of Education and Justice have consistently interpreted Title IX as a protection from sex-based discrimination that includes transgender students. Friday’s letter reaffirmed that interpretation in the wake of state laws like North Carolina’s HB2, according to Dorie Nolt, spokesperson for Education, who added multiple school leaders and organizations asked for further clarity on Title IX. The recent letter also added specific examples of how schools can handle the needs of their transgender students, Nolt told PGN. “This guidance gives administrators, teachers and parents the tools they need to protect transgender students from peer harassment and to identify and address unjust school policies,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing our work with the Department of Education — and with schools across the country — to create classroom environments that are safe, nurturing, and inclusive for all of our young people.” The letter explains the requirements for things like:

• Using names and pronouns consistent with a student’s gender identity regardless of previous school records • Allowing transgender students to join appropriate sex-segregated programs and activities like single-sex classes, schools, sports teams, restrooms, locker rooms, social fraternities and sororities, and housing and overnight accommodations among other things • Privacy of education records, including following the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act to disclose transgender status only to appropriate personnel, and prohibiting schools from designating sex or transgender status in a school directory • The National Center for Transgender Equality noted that Education and Justice’s interpretation of Title IX overrides state laws like the one in North Carolina that requires people to use the restroom according to the sex on their birth certificates. “We’ve seen over and over that transgender students who are included and respected can thrive at school,” Mara Keisling, a Harrisburg native who now serves as executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, said in a statement. “But this year, some legislators and anti-trans extremists have been encouraging schools to deny transgender students basic educational opportunities by preying on baseless fears and cooking up confusion about what federal law requires. That’s why transgender young people, their families and their schools have so desperately needed this guidance from the federal government.” n

Lesbian kicked out of prom invited on ‘Always Sunny” By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com The lesbian who got kicked out of her prom near Harrisburg for wearing a suit may well appear on an episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” In a Twitter exchange late last week, Rob McElhenney, the show’s creator and a Philadelphia native, mentioned Aniya Wolf in a tweet that said, “Aniya, I love your suit. Would u like to wear it on Sunny?” “You are kidding right??” Wolf responded. McElhenney, who plays Mac on the show, said the crew would be in Philadelphia the last week of June. “We need a little extra style and class,” he tweeted. “Can you help us?”

“yes!!! I would love to help you!” Wolf replied. There’s no word yet on how Wolf may be featured in the show, but she’s receiving a lot of support lately. The principal of a York City high school invited Wolf and a date to attend the school’s May 21 prom. Wolf accepted the invitation. Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney also tweeted to Wolf this week, “Aniya, I believe in Jesus, and I love your suit!! Keep being yourself.” Wolf was kicked out of her prom at Bishop McDevitt Catholic High School. The school said parents were informed of the prom dress code requiring formal dresses for girls months in advance. Wolf’s mother has said she received a last-minute email about it. n

LAWSUIT from page 1

Treatments for gender dysphoria aren’t limited to gender-confirmation surgery, but may also include breast implants or removal, plastic surgery and hormonal therapies, according to the suit. “Not all trans people want, need or are able to undergo gender-confirmation surgery,” the suit adds. “Gender-confirmation surgery is expensive and public insurance or private insurance may not cover its costs. [Also, the surgery] may be contraindicated by a trans person’s medical history because of other medical conditions.” The suit notes that several states have updated their birth-certificate policies “to recognize that an individual’s gender does not depend on surgical status.” Those states include New York, California, Iowa, Oregon, Vermont and Washington, according to the suit. The lawsuit demands that accurate birth certificates be issued to plaintiffs and

that state officials replace the discriminatory policy with a policy that allows for accurate birth certificates, regardless of surgical status. Plaintiffs are also seeking compensatory and punitive damages from the state. Trans attorney Julie Chovanes serves as lead counsel for plaintiffs. She also serves as executive director of Trans-Help, a local nonprofit that provides legal and other services for trans people. “We believe the state’s birth certificate policy violates federal law,” Chovanes told PGN. “Therefore, we believe the suit will be successful and help our plaintiffs and thousands of Pennsylvanians get accurate birth certificates. After all, it’s the right thing to do.” The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge John R. Padova. At presstime, Padova hadn’t ruled on the plaintiffs’ request to proceed under a pseudonym. n

PGN SHABBAT from page 7

Since its inception, the Taskforce has spearheaded LGBT trainings for synagogue staff on language and pronoun usage and updated all administrative forms and restroom signage to make them gender-neutral. The committee is in the process of updating the language used during Torah blessings to be inclusive of people who do not identify along the gender binary. Litke added that the synagogue has a new and young clergy team that is very supportive of the Taskforce’s efforts. The Pride Shabbat is set to be the first public LGBT-outreach effort for the Taskforce. Litke said organizers are hoping to establish a “more porous boundary,” involving the synTRANSMISSIONS from page 11

said, “I don’t want some wicked pervert in the same bathroom as my wife or my daughter.” This was his second run-in with police at this Target over the policy. In Dallas, Texas, a man who followed her into the women’s room challenged Jessica Rush. He claimed that Rush, who is not transgender, was “dressed like a man” and was using the wrong facilities. Joey Salads, a “YouTube star,” donned a bad wig and floral dress and attempted to get responses to following women into restrooms and claiming to be “a transgender.” Or so it seemed: Zinnia Jones debunked his video on her Gender Analysis YouTube channel. Oh, and we’re back to the American Family Association, too. Sandy Rios, who serves as the director of government affairs for the AFA, addressed the bathroom issue on the Brietbart New Daily radio show. “I think there’s no question when you say that there are no barriers in the bathroom. The net effect will be that people will not be stopped,” said Rios. “We’ve already had people testing this, going into Targets and men trying to go into bathrooms. There is absolutely no barrier.” Perhaps they simply wanted more signatures on their petition, but what Rios just admitted was that they were sending men — not transgender people — into women’s rooms at Target, presumably to frighten and harass women in these facilities.

agogue more in the LGBT community and inviting the community through its doors. “We are adjacent to the largest concentration of LGBTQ people in the city and our hope is that more folks will enrich our community with their participation — whether it’s worship or program planning or teaching Hebrew, whatever they want to do as a way to be a part of the community,” she said. “We want to let folks in Center City know that, even though this building looks a traditional place and our services are fairly traditional, we’re not traditional in that sense in terms of our mindset.” Pride Shabbat will be held 6 p.m. May 20 at 300 S. 18th St. For more information, visit bzbi.org. n To date, there have been no proven instances of people using transgender bathroom rights in the way McCrory or the AFA claim. Instead, their actions are causing vastly more issues than actually exist when transgender people are allowed to use their proper facilities. How have we gotten here? In an attempt to score political points in an election year, an extremely toxic environment towards transgender people has been created — as if the record levels of anti-transgender violence and murder were not already plenty toxic to us. For nearly 20 years, I’ve spoken out against anti-transgender violence, but never before have we been fighting this hard for our humanity. One final story, and this one did not happen in a bathroom: In Montreal, Québec, Canada, just one hour north of the New York border, a man entered the Metropolitan Center of Surgery. He had an axe, a machete and a can of gasoline. He then set fire to an operating room. The clinic is where Dr. Pierre Brassard performs gender-reassignment surgeries. It feels like we’re rapidly approaching a flashpoint. One of these confrontations will turn violent, or we’ll see more “anti-abortionstyle” attacks on our caregivers. All thanks to lawmakers like Pat McCrory and groups like the AFA, who felt they could score some political points. n Gwen Smith hopes everyone stays safe. You can find her at www.gwensmith.com.

Fed Sting Stinks Please tell us you have more than this

n the movie “A Few Good Men” Jack Nicholson portrayed Colonel Nathan Jessup, who from the witness stand mocks attorney Daniel Kaffee, played by Tom Cruise, with these words: “These two Marines are on trial for their lives. Please tell me their lawyer hasn’t pinned their hopes to a phone bill.” Today, we ask the FBI to please tell us that they didn’t spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a sting operation that, at the end of the day, netted only one lobbyist in a plea deal that will get him, at worst, six months in jail. Please tell us that there is a bigger fish on the line than John Estey, the chief of staff of a former governor. Please tell us that you nabbed an elected official doing something bad for cash. The sting involved a dummied-up Florida-based book recycling company, a high-powered Harrisburg lobbying firm, Estey, and a bunch of state senators. Unfortunately, based on its results to date, it appears ill-conceived at best, and completely benign at worst.

The fundamental flaw in this sting, as exposed by the Philadelphia Inquirer, is in how the feds set it up. As the Inky reports: “As that phase of the sting unfolded between 2009 and 2011, legislation was even drafted to help the bogus firm and sped through the state Senate, passing unanimously. …On paper, the company, Textbook Bio-Solutions L.L.C., said it wanted to buy textbooks to give to “impoverished nations,” or to recycle into pellet fuel as an alternative heating method. In reality, it was a front for the FBI.” Ok let’s get this straight, the sting worked this way: 1. The feds invent a company and make it look legitimate so that the lobbyists who petition them would view it as such with a modicum of due diligence. 2. The dummy company’s invented mission was to either recycle schoolbooks for cheap energy or to send them to impoverished nations. What’s bad about that? Hey feds, you want to set up a sting? Then let’s see a politician wiring a contract to a campaign contributor, or maybe a poli-

tician selling a public asset to a friend at sub-market price. But a sting that nabs a politician voting for a bill that recycles books and gives the proceeds away? Again, please tell us there’s more. We agree with State Representative John Yudichak who told the Inky, “I’m at the mercy of some very unfortunate circumstances. If a constituent or a citizen of Pennsylvania walks in the door and says, ‘Can you help me with this idea?’ I have to

assume the best of intentions. I can’t imagine they are law enforcement.” The Inky reaches the wrong conclusion: that “the scam worked, bringing the firm and its undercover agents in close contact with other prominent officials.” We believe that for an FBI sting to work, the indictment of a target of that investigation must arise out of it. So far, that has not happened. The only wrongdoing has been that of the lobbyist, and that was not for bribing an electContinued on page 2 M AY 1 5 - 2 2 , 2 0 1 6

Fed Sting Stinks Continued from page 1 ed official but for stealing some of the money the sham company gave him. Ironically, there are already hundreds of companies in Pennsylvania legally doing exactly what this sting supposedly exposed: spending millions of dollars to influence legislation with the intent of improving their bottom line; all arguably attached to some public benefit. These contributions all come before or after some piece of legislation or government action that they are lobbying for and, in the absence of an expressed quid pro quo, are completely legal. Hey feds! Comcast throws hundreds of thousands in contributions around Harrisburg and

Philadelphia then gets millions of dollars in tax breaks. The properties they build their towers on conveniently qualify as a Keystone Opportunities Zone; taking advantage of legislation designed to attract money to abandoned brownfields, not center city Philadelphia. They hire lobbyists who make contributions to pols. Their corporate PAC contributes directly to pols. This is the same activity your scam exposed just on steroids. We don’t need the FBI spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in a sting operation to show us how this system works. We’ve known it all along.

Archbishop Wood Still Dominant Continued from page 12 school as a whole. I am a Wood graduate and it means a lot to represent the school.” DeGuiseppe said that he and his players are enjoying wearing the Wood uniform. Right now, the Warminster School is receiving high grades for its academics, while its football, baseball, and boys and girls basketball teams are all competing for state titles every season. “It’s a really fun atmosphere here,” said DeGuiseppe. “It’s a lot of fun to work with these kids. They are really serious about academics, baseball, and having fun and getting better. There’s a good focus with this group and I really like what they have bought into this culture we have here at Wood baseball.” DeGuiseppe, in his fifth year as

head coach, and 20th overall, is thrilled that the team is producing college players regularly. Wood’s star Joey Lancellotti earned a scholarship to pitch at North Carolina. Catcher Sean Kelly will continue at Mt. St. Mary’s (MD). Others who will also play at the next level are Ryan Logan (Merchant Marine Academy), Matt Cummiskey (Chestnut Hill College) and Bobby Heck (Gwynedd Mercy College). “I think that is a very gratifying thing for me,” he said. “If you look at what we have done in the last 10 years or so, we have about five players going on to compete in college every year. That is very exciting.”

The CCP Way College grad and White House social secretary Deesha Dyer shows how far education can take you By Sheila Simmons

‘

Tis the season for college commencements and all the inspirational messages that come with them: from celebrated keynote speakers to graduates who overcame hardship for a better opportunity in life. While our area’s distinguished universities no doubt had plenty of both, one of this year’s most notable examples is a product of the city’s community college. Deesha Dyer is the White House Social Secretary. In Washington, D.C., she works with First Lady Michelle Obama on events hosted by the First Family. On May 7, she delivered the keynote address for Community College of Philadelphia’s commencement ceremony, at which she also accepted her associate’s degree. In her address, to an auditorium full of people at the Liacouras Center, she reflected on how a woman like her got to a place like the White House. “I’m a regular jawn from Philly,” she told the audience, adding, “D.C. people get so confused when I say that.” A Philly native who graduated from the Milton Hershey School, Dyer initially failed to complete college. She worked as an assistant at Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust and as a freelance journalist covering East Coast hip-hop culture for several media outlets, including The Philadelphia City Paper. In the community, she worked with young adults at the Youth Health Empowerment Project, as creator of a hip-hop AIDS education program based in Philadelphia, as a CARE advocacy volunteer and as a board member at Action AIDS. Dyer returned to college to pursue a degree, and she discovered a new road in life. Of the White House job, she recounted, “They asked me to send my resume and I was very scared, because I thought that once senior officials saw I

dropped out of college, and am a 31-year-old community college student, they definitely wouldn’t hire me. Well in 2010, they did, with the caveat that I finish school.” “Two years after working in the White House and taking online CCP classes, sometimes commuting back and forth to Philly,” she said, “I finished in 2012 with an Associates in Women’s Studies.” Dyer initially interned in the Office of Scheduling and Advance. Then she was hired full-time in 2010 as Associate Director for Scheduling Correspondence and was promoted to Deputy Director and Hotel Program Director. In that role, she traveled with the President and First Lady working on press, lodging and site logistics. In 2013, she was promoted to Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary, and finally Social Secretary. “I am so happy to work for an Administration that makes education a priority,” Dyer told the crowd, stressing, “There’s the Reach Higher initiative started by First Lady Michelle Obama, that encourages and assists students going to college to [take advantage of] the efforts of President Obama to lift up community colleges.” Because you never know where your education is going to take you.

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.

Archbishop Wood Still Dominant on the Diamond Back-to-back championships are possible, but not the focus By Jeremy Treatman

t was supposed to be one of the tougher games practice this spring, that this is the 2016 Vikings. Last of the season. Instead, the Archbishop Wood year, was 2015. We have some of the same players baseball team routed Holy Ghost Prep, and its but it’s a different team and we are trying to achieve star player Nolan Jones, 16-0 on May 7. It was a game that almost wasn’t played due to a rainy field. our best. What I like about these guys is that they “Yeah, we played well, but we were also happy to just aren’t trying to represent Wood baseball but the Continued on page 2 get a game in, too,” said coach Jim DiGuiseppe, Jr. The Vikings have blitzed through their first 14 games of the season, and won 12. Their wins have included besting league rival Neumann Goretti, Council Rock South, and Pennsbury. The team scored all of its runs against Holy Ghost Prep while having two outs, continuing a season long pattern. “We have had some great times with situational hitting which pleases me a lot,” said DeGuiseppe. “A lot of our guys have come through with really great at-bats in key spots. It’s something that we really stress, and to see it come across with such results is very satisfying for the coaching staff.” Wood won its third Catholic League championship last season but, so far, has never won back-toback titles. The Vikings are looking to do well in the league post-season as well as during their potential Pitcher Kody Cracknell gets the last out of the three-inning District 12 and PIAA AAAA playoff run. “The post- game. Photo by Sarah J. Glover. season starts on [May 21], it’s right around the corner,” he said. “All the guys obviously are hoping to play our best at this time of year headed into the playoffs. To be honest, I have never brought up the back-to-back thing. I think sometimes if you get a little ahead of yourselves it can be a detriment.

NORTHEAST VIKINGS EXCEL IN BASEBALL WITH THE HELP OF TV PRODUCER Don’t ask Ari Bluestein, the founder and owner of The Sports Fan Base Network, how he does it. He admits he doesn’t know. Bluestein, 32, a former Northeast baseball star is back at his alma mater as a volunteer pitching and bench coach. He’s already holding down a full time accounting job besides running SFBN, which airs a weekly high school highlights show on Comcast Network and weekly games on the internet, not to mention having a wife and young child at home. “I really don’t know how I am balancing it all,” he said. “We are a little less busy after March at SFBN and when this opportunity came up, I wouldn’t miss it. I love coaching my alma mater. I love being able to guide these kids who are playing on the same field I played on over a decade ago. I also feel pride in helping my alma mater win games and helping these guys get better.” Northeast has been on a roll this year as Bluestein and Jack Kapp, former Viking and current SFBN producer, joined new coach Tom Juhas’ staff. The team is 9-2 as of May 11, having come from behind in every win this season. The team knocked off Central and George Washington already this season, two teams that have handled Northeast in recent seasons. Northeast lost to Franklin Towne Charter and Olney, last year’s league finalists, by only one run in each game. The squad has several potential college players according to Bluestein. Pitcher Mike Angellilli is the team’s best, Eli Mejia is the top power hitter and Chris Castro and Starlin Gomez are achieving at many positions in the field and at the plate. “I think they are all Division III college candidates,” said Bluestein. “The team is really talented and very fun to teach. I was a pitcher and shortstop in high school. One of my roles was to take guys aside after at bats and go over their strategies for hitting and what went right and what could improve. Most of the time when I am at games I am calling the pitches for our pitchers. I go over pitch grips and mechanics. I’m having a blast.” So is the team. Keep an eye out for Northeast in the Public League title hunt this year.

NOLAN JONES IS A STAR His team may have been on the short end of the Archbishop Wood game May 7, but Nolan Jones stock continues to rise. The hot-hitting Ghosts’ shortstop/third baseman/pitcher was hitting over .480 headed into the game. His range in the infield, his throwing arm, hitting ability, and plate discipline are all reasons why he is expected to be a first-round pick in the June amateur baseball draft. Jones also has a college scholarship offer from Virginia that he has accepted, so it’s not known what he will do. “I think it’s a great problem to have,” said one area MLB baseball scout. “I think he’s ready to be drafted by a major league team and get into their system, but he would also excel by going to college. He can’t make a bad decision.”

UP!

Amateur porn fest returns to Philly By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com It’s HUMP! day. No, it’s not Wednesday in the sea of office cubicles with that dopey obnoxious camel … This is a good kind of Hump Day The 11th-annual HUMP! Film Festival returns to Philadelphia as part of its international tour featuring homegrown dirty (read: porn!) movies May 21 at Theatre of Living Arts. The brainchild of Savage Love advice columnist and activist Dan Savage, the festival celebrates sex positivity and sexual expression with a showcase of short porn films featuring subjects and filmmakers from a variety of body sizes, shapes, ages, races, sexualities, genders, kinks and fetishes. One of the short films featured this year is “Level Up,” co-filmed and co-edited by Jenna, starring Amory Jane. The film starts off as a humorous video-game-themed

adventure with a pro-feminist message before spiraling into a bisexual orgy. Jenna and Jane talked to PGN about their film and what inspired them to throw their hats into the HUMP! ring. PGN: You managed to pack a lot of humor, feminism and social commentary into “Level Up.” What were your influences and inspiration for this film? AJ: We came at the film from multiple perspectives, but mostly it just started off with us wanting to find a way to incorporate our feminist views and love of classic video games. It is not a critique on the porn industry, but does attempt to show things we would love to see more of in movies: women as heroes/in charge of their own sexuality, cis men showing affection and exploring sexuality with each other and an awareness of patriarchy/ kyriarchy and how it impacts the ways we have sex and experience desire in our society. We’ve always loved HUMP! and

put our hearts into every film, but “Level Up” was especially meaningful for us. It’s a film we all really believe in, and it’s a privilege to be shown alongside so many other incredible films, including ones with professional porn stars. J: Honestly, we’re all friends and we wanted to have fun but also make something meaningful. We wanted to create a film that makes you think, laugh and super horny. And remind you that one of the best parts about sex is the ability to laugh. Never stop laughing. PGN: Were there any challenges or difficulties in making the film that you did not expect? AJ: Making the film was great, especially the unscripted orgy, which was very natural and all done without direction/ interruption from the camera crew. That allowed us to be authentic and have fun with each other without worrying about our “performance.” I also have a really

nice memory of all of the actors eating together after filming and then sleeping in the yurt (where we filmed the orgy) together as a way of providing aftercare for each other. It was definitely a really special weekend. J: While we were filming the yurt orgy, I put on some music in the background to make people feel more comfortable and “in the mood.” Problem was, I only had Spotify to work with, so in those twothree hours it took to film, I had to go through quite a few different radio stations to maintain the mood. I tried artists related to Sneaker Pimps, Hooverphonic, etc., but every once in a while you’d hear a gargled, mid-blow-job, “Please change it,” which sounded more like “Plurs churngs it” and it would crack me up, every time. PGN: What kind of feedback, either from Dan Savage or from audiences, have you gotten about “Level Up”? PAGE 22

J: We’ve heard nothing but good things, and it’s just fantastic. Each of our actors seems to get recognized on a regular basis with positive feedback, and we’ve heard from friends in other cities about how much fun they had at the fest and how much they enjoyed our film in particular. It’s certainly awesome and exciting to know that our films are traveling all around the U.S. and Canada, and we hope we’re making a positive impact on as many people as possible. PGN: What is it about the HUMP! Film Festival that appealed to you as a filmmaker and/or a fan of erotica? J: Growing up in middle-class, tickytacky, American white suburbia, I was fed the same heaping spoonful of bullshit that many like me have been fed: that porn is just wrong, shameful and dirty. I think one of the amazing parts about HUMP! is that it makes adjectives like “dirty” a positive thing. It helps de-shame porn and the entire sexual experience, which I think is incredibly important. Dan Savage and HUMP! are such revered icons (especially in Portland and the Pacific Northwest at large) because of what they represent and constantly work toward: sexual revolution and sex positivity. One of the reasons we have created — and continue to create — films for HUMP! is because of the desire to be part of that revolution, this amazing movement toward sexual liberation. AJ: Plus, we wanted to make the kind of porn we’d like to watch! Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of films out there that include things like pansexuality, politics, humor and mixed-gender, bisexual group sex. We are also big fans of queer/ feminist porn, and we wanted to contribute to what we hope will be an ever-growing category. PGN: Were you making adult films before you had heard of the HUMP! Festival? J: “Level Up” was the second film I made for HUMP! (after “Humparoke,” which

ran in the 2014 festival and the 2015 tour) but not the first amateur porn I’ve made. However, the several films before HUMP! were just amateur homemade videos, solely intended for the partners involved, without a plot or fun theme. I have to say, making HUMP! films are way more fun — and sex is already pretty damn fun. It was Amory Jane who brought me into HUMP! with her ideas for “Humparoke,” and she had also starred in a film a couple years prior that also made it into the festival, “D&D Orgy,” which is just as amazing as it sounds. PGN: Do you get to meet or interact with the other filmmakers featured on the festival? J: I haven’t yet, but I’d love to in the future! PGN: What do you think this festival offers audiences that they can’t get from the adult-film industry? And do you think the HUMP! Festival will get mainstream audiences to be more open-minded toward adult films that are outside of the “norm”? J: Dan Savage explains this better than I ever could, but essentially, HUMP! is absolutely for everyone. It’s a unique opportunity to not only mentally explore your own sexual boundaries, but to be exposed to sexual kinks and arenas you’ve probably never even thought about. And whether or not it turns out to be “your thing,” it’s still worth experiencing. It’s a lesson in acceptance, though you wouldn’t even realize it, because it’s so much fun. You’re in a packed theater, surrounded by people who are all in the same boat. I’ve never been to a HUMP! screening where I felt judged or self-conscious. n The HUMP! Festival comes to Philadelphia at 6, 8:15 and 10:30 p.m. May 21 at TLA, 334 South St. For more information or tickets, call 215-922-1011 or visit www.humpfilmfest.com.

Carson Kressley: Not his first time at the rodeo If you’re feeling nostalgic for the majesty and gentility of “Downton Abbey,” you can get a little taste of it with the beauty and grandeur at the Devon Horse Show and County Fair. The 10-day event includes world-class equestrian competitions, carriage competitions and mini boutiques set up in small cottages that offer everything from leather chaps (I won’t tell if you don’t use them for riding) to antiques to the latest fashions. For kids big and small there’s the midway, featuring a Ferris wheel, carousel, games and fair foods. There is also a variety of special programs through the show run. If none of that grabs you, there’s something uber sexy about a man or woman in tight britches and leather boots. This week’s profile is one of those sexy riders, Carson Kressley, whom you know from shows like “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” and “Dancing with the Stars.” What you may not know is that Kressley is a championship rider — though he’ll be using his style expertise June 1 as a judge in the Ladies Hat competition. Bella bonnets! PGN: OK, I knew you were a rider, but didn’t realize how accomplished! You won the U.S. World Cup Saddle Seat championship in 2009. CK: I did and that was probably my favorite world-championship win. I’ve won a couple of world titles on different horses, including the Friesian breed of horses. It’s my passion. PGN: I love Friesians! How did you get into riding? CK: I’ve been very lucky in that I grew up in a family very involved with horses. My grandparents had a pony farm outside of Allentown. At one point, they had several-hundred Shetland ponies. They raised and sold them and showed them pretty extensively and successfully. As a teenager, I loved ponies but I really wanted a horse and I wound up in the Saddlebred horse industry. PGN: Well, that makes sense; they are pretty flashy. CK: Yes, they’re the supermodels of the equestrian world, with the pretty tails and the extravagant way they move. They’re so athletic and fun to ride. I love their look and personalities. I find there’s no other breed that’s as fun to ride as a good Saddle horse. PGN: Tell me a little about growing up in Claussville. CK: Well, it’s a small town right outside of Allentown. I’ve joked that we grew up practically Amish; my family is Pennsylvania German and my ancestors, mostly farmers, have lived there for hundreds of years. Even though I grew up in a pretty sheltered place, I got to travel a lot, going to horse shows and auctions with my grandparents. Other than that, it was a pretty quiet upbringing. I was pretty much a farm kid. I spent a lot of time

with the horses, literally sitting in the hay troughs watching them eat. It may sound like a sad after-school special but it was actually a pretty great way to grow up. Most kids don’t have the opportunity to be around animals like that so I was grateful to have been able to experience it. PGN: Any siblings? CK: Yes, a brother and a sister. My sister is also involved in showing horses and she runs the family farm. My niece also competes so there are now several generations of us doing this. One of the great things about showing horses, especially Saddlebreds, is that little kids can compete as well as someone in their 80s! William Shatner still competes and he’s 85 years old. There aren’t too many sports that you can compete in your entire life. PGN: When did you start getting into fashion? CK: You know I always loved clothes and the power of transformation that they hold. I have a liberal-arts degree from Gettysburg College and I knew I wanted to move to New York. Instead of thinking about what career I wanted, I thought about what companies it would be fun to work for. Ralph Lauren was on that list so I managed to get myself a job there working for Ralph Lauren’s brother, who runs the men’s design division of the company. While I had a propensity for fashion and clothing, I really learned on the job there. In addition to learning great taste and great style, I learned about the importance of hard work and having a sense of urgency. I learned a lot about production and licensing, that kind of thing. Being his brother’s assistant, I got to see and learn all aspects of the business.

Burnett and the Bob Mackie gowns she wore on her show. But it was mostly watching the process of my mom and sister dressing up that prompted my interest in fashion and realizing that it was something important. PGN: What was a favorite piece of clothing as a kid? CK: I remember going to Bamberger’s in the early ’80s to get my first suit for church. It was a blue pinstripe suit with a white shirt and a red and blue striped tie. It was very simple and classic and good-looking and it planted the seed for my love of all things Ralph Lauren. Then of course I remember wanting designer jeans, Calvin Klein and Jordache and Sasson, which were all the rage when I was in fourth grade. I did get my Calvin’s, which was probably my original coming-out gesture. PGN: You spoke about the transformative nature of clothes. You’ve done so many shows that illustrate it: “Queer Eye,” “Carson Nation” and “How to Look Good

PGN: I read that at Gettysburg you were a frat boy. CK: Ha. Yes, but I was in a nerdy fraternity; it was more of a service organization. While other groups were doing panty raids, we were having canned-food drives. PGN: When did you come out? I understand you were a late bloomer. CK: Yeah, probably. I think with my personality and my mannerisms, it probably wasn’t necessary for me to “come out” but it didn’t happen officially until I was around 30. I was cast in “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” so that probably would have been a giveaway. It was time to tell everyone. PGN: Where do you think you got your personal sense of style? Were you into old movies? A favorite TV show? CK: Growing up in the ’70s, it was more about my mom and my sister; they were really into clothing. I distinctly remember my mother going a friend’s house for a dinner party and wearing a long cocktail gown, very stylish. I remember watching Carol

Naked.” Was there a particular caterpillar-to-butterfly moment that sticks out for you? CK: I think that on every makeover show that I’ve done, including makeovers on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” the essential thing is helping people discover clothing that will help them feel the most like themselves but pulling it together in a way that will make them feel confident and powerful. “How to Look Good Naked” had the most powerful moments because women are scrutinized

so much more for what they wear and how they look. Helping someone unleash their inner beauty through the way they present themselves to the world was really amazing. There were some great transformations on that show that I’m very proud of. PGN: “Queer Eye” was so cutting-edge. You were at the forefront of gay acceptance in the media. Did you get much pushback? CK: Yes, that was 13 years ago so there was some pushback. A lot of networks passed on the show; they weren’t interested whatsoever. Some stations liked the show but wanted to change the name. “Queer Eye” was too edgy for them but, credit to the show’s creators, Dave Metzler and David Collins, they stuck to their guns. They felt that “queer” meant a different point of view, to be different or special or extraordinary, and they wanted to reclaim the word not as a slur but as something to be proud of. There was one network in Oklahoma that wouldn’t air the show; they ran old episodes of “Coach” instead. After a couple of weeks, the people in the town were like, “Listen, we’ve had enough of Craig T. Nelson. Please let us have the gays.” I think the show was very subversive not intentionally, it was just very disarming. Five guys who (hopefully) people responded well to, who were just trying to help our straight brothers get the girl or the job they wanted. For a lot of folks, we were the first gay people they knew because they got to know us on television. Television is a medium that’s very intimate because we are in their living rooms and bedrooms. Families watched it together and we were a positive introduction for a lot of people. I’ve had strangers come up to me and say, “I never knew any gay people before” and I’d say, “What? You’ve never had your hair done, you’ve never been on an airplane? Come on!” But people would come up to us all the time and say, “We think you guys are pretty cool and we really like you.” That’s the power of media, getting to see people, whether they be gay or lesbian or bisexual or transgender, just living their lives and realizing that we’re more alike than they thought. It’s very empowering and it helps break down stereotypes. It helps to expand our base of allies. When you know someone, you treat them a little kinder.

Get Out and Play

Scott A. Drake

Openly gay soccer star scores in Philadelphia Robbie Rogers scored the first goal of the game May 11, but he scored even bigger with the Philadelphia Falcons. Rogers, who plays with the L.A. Galaxy, came out publicly in 2013 with the intent to retire from soccer rather than face the expected onslaught of homophobia and bigotry sometimes associated with professional sports. But fortunately for the soccer world, he was convinced to continue playing and now, three years later, he’s playing first string and he and partner Greg Berlanti have welcomed a baby boy into their family. PGN: How happy are you for staying with soccer compared to when you first made the step to come out? RR: I am extremely happy. The first year was really tough. I think I thought of myself as an outsider and it really affected the way I was playing and being able to enjoy the game. Now I just feel like another guy on the team. My teammates, we are all different and I just feel like I bring a different dimension to the club. PGN: Do you feel you play better with your “cloak” removed?

RR: I don’t feel like I am playing better but I am definitely enjoying myself more and enjoying all the little things like the relationships with my teammates, traveling with the guys and just being in the stadium with everyone. PGN: It sounds like your teammates are pretty good guys. Have you had any rough encounters with opposing teams being more or less homophobic? RR: I have friends on every team and they have all be supportive. I have spoken with a few of my friends on different MLS teams and on different teams around the world. They have said that things are changing but that they still hear homophobic slurs. PGN: Congratulations on the family! How does having a little one around the house change your routine? RR: It has changed my routine a little, obviously, but we have had a lot of help. Caleb is the most amazing little guy. He makes us so happy and we can’t stand being away from him. PGN: Do you find yourself torn sometimes between the passion for the game and the desire to be home with your family?

UNION RULES: About 30 members and friends of the Philadelphia Falcons Soccer Club (falcons-soccer.org) converged for the first-promoted LGBT Night May 11 at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester. After a tailgate party in the parking lot, the group huddled together for warmth and affection while watching the Philadelphia Union take on the L.A. Galaxy. Openly gay soccer icon Robbie Rogers scored one for the Galaxy but the teams were pretty evenly matched and the game ended in a 2-2 draw. Photo: Scott A. Drake

RR: No, not really. I always miss my family but when I am gone it’s only for a few days. Soccer isn’t forever so I try to enjoy it while I am still playing. PGN: Any chance on meeting our local LGBT soccer team the Philadelphia Falcons while you’re in town?

RR: Hopefully I will at the stadium but I will be very focused on the game. The most important thing I would want to say to everyone on the Falcons is thank you for coming. Thank you for supporting me. Without your support I wouldn’t have gone back to soccer.

Having courage The second-annual Courage Game will take place May 29 at Penn Park on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. The Courage Game has a mission to encourage and support gay youth and stop bullying. Twelve-year-old lacrosse player Braeden Lange was the inspiration for the game, which saw its incarnation last year as openly gay lacrosse players and many allies came together Memorial Day weekend in Philadelphia. Aside from great competition, there will be concessions, entertainment and some surprise guests. NXT Sports, a Philadelphia-based youth sports education and event-management company, is organizing the event. Other key Courage Game partners include U.S. Lacrosse, Geno’s Steaks, House of Talent PA, Saxbys, Wegmans and the You Can Play Project. Donations are accepted and money raised will go directly to support the mission of stopping bullying and promoting acceptance in youth sports. n I’ll be in Nashville next week covering the Philadelphia Gryphons RFC in the Bingham Cup so hit me up here for other local sports stuff: scott@epgn.com.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT PGN LISTINGS

Out singer-songwriter releases live album By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Award-winning, and internationally renowned, out singer-songwriter SONiA is back on the road this month to promote her new double CD, “Live at the Maximal,” with a CD release concert May 20 at Phoenixville’s Steel City Coffeehouse. When we talked to SONiA, a.k.a. Sonia Rutstein — founding member of Baltimore indie folk-rock group Disappear Fear — she had just returned from performing in Germany, where “Live at the Maximal” was recorded. “I just really fell in love with that place,” Rutstein said about the club where her live CD was recorded. “It wasn’t my intention to make a live CD. The potential was there; they recorded all the concerts I’ve ever done there. They just do that. There will be a DVD and YouTube videos to accompany it to give people a fuller experience.”

Rutstein, who has 17 albums and many, many years of touring the world under her belt, said she’s had a substantial following in Germany since she first performed there at a festival. “When I first came over to Germany, I played the acoustic stage at Musikmesse, which is this huge music-manufacturing conference in Frankfurt every spring,” she said. “They have these folk culture clubs throughout the country and someone connected with those clubs invited me to play them after seeing me at Musikmesse.” Rutstein said that the career-spanning live CD gives her fans a more strippeddown experience of her songs compared to her studio albums. “They are very different in the fact that a live experience is really created with the energy that’s in the room and my energy at that particular point in my life and what’s happening in the world,” she said about the difference between the live album and her studio albums. “All of that comes together and there’s no fixing it. In the studio, you can sculpt everything down to the millisecond. Here, it’s just turn on the

volume and let it go. Very little has been done to it. It’s very raw. It’s very real and it does exemplify what a fun night with a venue concert is. Obviously I can listen to it and pick it apart but I think the essence of the songs is great in a natural setting.” Before the CD-release show in Phoenixville and the following tour of festivals this spring and summer, Rutstein will perform a benefit concert in her hometown of Baltimore. “It’s going to benefit Baltimore Neighborhoods Incorporated, an action group that helps finance those who are economically challenged to gain access to good representation and information in regards to where they live,” she said. “If they have an irresponsible property owner where they may live in an apartment, they can get some help with taking care of that issue.” If the CD and the touring wasn’t enough to keep her busy, Rutstein is also overseeing the production of her first musical, “Small House, No Secrets,” which will debut this fall. “Basically, it’s four people meeting together in a small house, but there’s a lot of secrets,” she said about the project. “That unravels and explodes as the tale unfolds. It’s my first musical and features 16 songs. It’s being produced by California Community College. It’s in pre-production and will be performed for three semesters. The first time will be the week before Thanksgiving because it has to do with Thanksgiving. It’s a Thanksgiving musical, including the pumpkin pie. It speaks to family conundrums and personal choices and homophobia. It’s got gay relationships that are very pivotal and powerful.” Rutstein said that touring behind her new live CD and preparing for the debut of her musical means that the idea of recording new music is getting put on the backburner for the time being. “I’m focused on the live CD and the musical right now,” she said. “The CD just came out and it’s not like I don’t sit down at the piano every day and write a little bit. I have lots of things in the works. I’m always writing, adding notes and possible lyrics here, an idea here. It’s a matter of time and focus. I have a couple of new songs that I wrote this fall that are not on the CD that I might pop into a performance. I also have a new cover that I like that is really working. I might pop that into my set. It’s different every night. I’ve always been consistently inconsistent.” n SONiA performs 8 p.m. May 20 at Steel City Coffeehouse, 203 Bridge St., Phoenixville.

Gay British artist David Hockney has been the subject of a feature documentary before — 1973’s “A Bigger Splash,” about his breakup with Peter Schlesinger — but Randall Wright’s new film “Hockney,” opening May 20 at Ritz Theatres, is a remarkable, intimate portrait of the artist. Wright approached “Hockney” with the same visual sense the artist used to create his paintings and drawings. He peppers each section of the film with a quote by Hockney that reveals something about the artist’s way of seeing things. “I wanted to construct a portrait of his life in the same way David makes his painting ‘Mulholland Drive,’” the filmmaker said via Skype from London. “Hockney” does this splendidly, showcasing the bright, bold colors of the artist’s work, life and art decade by decade. “I wanted to tease out how much of his personality and art is from the upbringing in the north of England and the idealism of the post WWII, [living in the] age of AIDS or his not finding a simple love or home,” Wright said. “Hockney” shows its subject’s early life in a claustrophobic (but supportive) house in Bradford, Yorkshire before moving to the sunny, wide-open space of Los Angeles, after a brief spell in New York. “Hockney’s great achievement was to go to L.A.,” Wright said. “The air quality alone is better than the damp and cold in London. When he painted his early gray East Yorkshire landscapes, he was doing it from memory in L.A. He left Bradford, a cold place where he was inhibited and where his sexuality would cast a shadow, for L.A., where he had a liberal dimension, a bohemia. It was a warm place for him to reinvent himself.” Los Angeles is also where he created his famous painting “A Bigger Splash,” and in “Hockney,” Wright unpacks the brilliance and power of the image. The painting has a border that prevents viewers from walking on the otherwise inviting diving board. The splash depicted would last a few seconds in real life, but it took Hockney a week to paint it. And while the painting depicts a familiar space, there is something deeper behind the appealing surface. “It’s a powerful image,” Wright said. “It’s warm, it’s a swimming pool, yet at the same time, there’s a detachment, a suspension of time. The diver isn’t going to come up — he’s beneath the water. There’s something complex and paradoxical about his playfulness.” “Hockney” captures the painter’s difficulties finding love, friendship and artistic direction at various times in his life with deep emotion. Significantly, the film is more of a diary of the artist’s life than a condensed or conventional biography. Wright explained he charted Hockney in the film “from emotion to emotion.”

He cited the example of the artist’s “Blue Guitar” stage, a creative period he enters after Peter Schlesinger leaves him. “I wanted to compartmentalize Hockney’s work from his analytical asking of what a picture is to what he feels. David wanted to make a picture that’s transparent to his emotions. I think his most creative art — ‘Mulholland Drive,’ ‘A Bigger Splash’ — is what happens when that comes together. “There’s more anguish — not anger, not depression — in his work. That’s what makes his painting extraordinary; it involves an emotional response,” Wright added. “And he’s a great draftsman. In the painting of his mother with amazing blue eyes, he sees a beautiful human being, with no judgment. He was able to reproduce images without embarrassment that represent his sexuality.” The filmmaker explained that he took the same approach in “Hockney,” and admits to deliberately including “the odd willy” to emphasize beauty without judg-

ment. The nudity in “Hockney” is significant because a story Hockney describes of having nudie magazines confiscated by a customs officer is revealing in another way. The artist, the film suggests, had the images of the naked male models in mind when he represented them in his erotic paintings of nude surfers in a pool. “The point about making a work of art by eye, you are seeing something somewhere, it may be in front of you but it’s also in your mind’s eye,” Wright said. “A painting is a collection of visual recognitions.” Given how close the filmmaker is with his subject, was there anything he discovered about his friend in making the film? “In a way, you discover something new when you look carefully at the pictures,” Wright responded. “What surprised me was the degree to which David is lonely, and his art is a gift to us. Whatever happens, he keeps making the pictures, and is hopeful. That sounds sentimental, and he is sentimental, but it is surprising that someone so successful and who has lots of friends is a bit isolated. It has something of him being a romantic artist who is caught in a post-modern, cynical world. He has an innocence about him. My film is an attempt to make a picture of him. It’s not definitive, but you fall in love with his way of seeing.” n

Unlike actors playing a character in a TV show or movie, in reality TV you really get to see the person for who they are so people really feel they know you. PGN: Out of the five guys, you certainly were the most intimate with the straight guys, as you helped them find new underwear or tucked in their shirts. CK: For sure! And I’m very touchy-feely, very huggy and up in people’s grills but that’s how I roll. I like to embrace people both emotionally and physically. That’s how I communicate. And I think it’s what gave the show a little of its edge, that I wasn’t afraid to go up to some big, scary, hairy straight guy and give him a hug. I was like, “Listen, we’re just shopping for clothes here. There’s no reason to be tense.” And eventually it started breaking down barriers. PGN: It’s amazing to me to now turn on the TV and find straight guys talking about another man’s physique or Bruno on “Dancing with the Stars” complimenting guys on their firm butts and it’s no big deal. I think you paved the way for some of that. CK: I hope so. It would be nice to think I could take a little bit of credit for some of it, that being myself on TV exactly the way I am could help make people comfortable. We’re all different in our own ways but unfortunately a lot of our community had to stuff it down for a long time. Being able to express myself fully on that show was a great gift. PGN: Speaking of “Dancing with the Stars,” what was the hardest part and the worst part of being on the show? CK: Well I’m a terrible dancer, so the dancing was the hard part. Fortunately, I’m a hard worker and I put in extra hours just to be passable and I never forgot any of my routines. I approached it with the attitude, “I’m not a good dancer but I do like to have fun,” so I approached every dance with a sense of joy and creativity. I had amazing costumes and an amazing dance partner. There was no pressure for me because I knew I wasn’t going to win, I was just there to have fun and I think that showed. People really responded to it and I was there much longer than I anticipated. I’d told my friends and family, “Come to the first show because I won’t be here long” and then I made it through week two, week three, week four and five. I couldn’t believe it! PGN: Why do you think the show has touched people so much? CK: I think people like seeing the journey, seeing someone start out being a terrible dancer and ending up really good. Of course, that didn’t happen in my case. I stayed equally terrible the whole way through! PGN: I watched that season, you improved! You were also on another competition show, “Jeopardy,” where you were the front runner until you lost to Regis Philbin in Final Jeopardy by $1. My question is … How hard is it to use that stupid buzzer? CK: [Laughs] It’s very sensitive and weird. We got to do a practice round and I killed it but when the actual show started to happen, I don’t

PGN

know if I was nervous or what but I could not get my buzzer to work properly. It’s very unnerving; you would think a show that sophisticated and established could get a better buzzer! PGN: Tell me about touring with Cyndi Lauper. CK: It was wonderful. I was the host and we went to about 25 U.S. cities and Canada to get people inspired to vote. We had several different guests, from Sarah McLachlan to Joan Jett, and I’d entertain the crowd while they were setting up. It was pretty surreal being on stage with people I’d idolized while growing up, I remember riding on the school bus and all the cool kids would sit in the back playing Joan Jett on a boombox and here I was years later standing on the stage with her. It was an amazing experience. I’d worked with Cyndi before on the True Colors Fund, which works to eliminate homelessness in the LGBT youth community. PGN: So tell me about the hat competition at Devon. CK: It’s a great way to get people involved and have them be part of the show. Of course, Devon is the perfect environment for that kind of competition. PGN: Your three favorite hats? CK: There was one made with lemons, with lemon sticks in them, which is an iconic treat at Devon. Any time people have horses on the hat it’s always fun and I recall some made out of hair, which is crazy but any time you have a little novelty and creativity I enjoy it. PGN: Are you competing this year or just judging ladies’ hats? CK: I think I’m just judging, but one never knows … PGN: What was your biggest mishap in the ring? CK: Ironically, I oftentimes have wardrobe malfunctions. I’m the last person who should be having those but I remember one time at Devon it was raining and I thought I’d be smart and use electrical tape to tape down the front part of my hat so it wouldn’t blow off. It ended up blowing forward and didn’t come off but it covered the entire front of my face so I couldn’t see where I was going as I was cantering through the mud on a high-powered horse. I couldn’t take my hands off the reins to lift the hat so I just had to hope that my horse knew what he was doing. I actually won but not because of my ride. PGN: That’s hysterical. OK, random question: Do you remember your first kiss? CK: No, but there were probably a lot of wine coolers involved. I’d tell you her name but she might read this. PGN: Favorite movie line? CK: That’s tough, there are so many. My favorite movie is “Legally Blonde,” but I’ll be cliché and pick something from “Mommy Dearest”: “This ain’t my first time at the rodeo.” n For more information about the Devon Horse Show, visit http://www.devonhorseshow.net.
