Mazzoni to present city’s first Youth Pride

By SJ Punderson PGN Contributor

By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com The same weekend our community celebrates its history, it will also look to its future — with the first-ever Youth Pride. The event, staged by Mazzoni Center, will take place July 5, capping a weekend full of events commemorating the Annual Reminder Days, one of the nation’s earliest LGBT-rights demonstrations, which took place at Independence Hall. Youth Pride will include a series of workshops, as well as games, activities, performances, giveaways and more. The impetus for Youth Pride came when a group of Mazzoni youth involved with the organization’s Student Leadership Board attended the National Gay-Straight Alliance Conference last summer and learned about a youth-focused Pride celebration held in Washington, D.C. “We wanted a Youth Pride because we felt like the regular Pride doesn’t always accommodate for youth,” said SLB member Kim Koing, 16, a junior at Mastery Charter, noting that the admission fee at Pride is often prohibitive, and the event also offers alcohol. “Pride for me was very ‘R-rated,’” added SLB member Damien Walker, 14, a rising junior at Bodine High School for International Affairs. SLB members began meeting about eight months ago to plan for Youth Pride. The group has held brainstorming sessions once a week and met with community partners once a month. “This is an entirely youth-led event,” explained SLB member TyUnique Nelson, 17, a senior at Mastery Charter. “We came up with the ideas, planned it, made sure everything is going to run smoothly, so I’m really proud of all the work we’ve all put in to make sure this could happen. We’ve been wanting this to happen for years.” The youth organized the event from top to bottom: designing the logo, planning the activities, overseeing promotions and developing the workshops themselves — which likewise will be youth-led and will focus on bullying, online etiquette and self-love/ body-positivity.

Man alleges rape as Penn student By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Reginald Stewart alleges he was raped by a classmate while he was a student at the University of Pennsylvania and he’s seeking justice for his ordeal. On Jan. 13, 2013, Stewart claimed, he was raped by Charles Gibson after the men attended a rush party sponsored by Phi Kappa Psi, a Penn fraternity. Stewart recently filed suit in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court against Gibson and the fraternity, seeking $450,000 in damages. According to court papers, Stewart and Gibson were served a “large amount of alcohol” at the party, even though both men were underage and Stewart was passing in and out of consciousness. After the party, the men returned to their dorm room, where Gibson allegedly raped Stewart. Due to Stewart’s inebriated state, he couldn’t function normally and defend himself, according to court papers. Stewart sustained tearing to his rectum

and colon and acquired the human papilloma virus (HPV), resulting in pre-cancerous lesions on his colon that had to be removed surgically. The surgical procedures left him scarred and disfigured, according to court papers. The acts of the fraternity and Gibson were “outrageous, atrocious and completely intolerable in civilized society and went beyond all possible bounds of decency,” according to Stewart’s suit. For his part, Gibson acknowledged that both men consumed alcohol at the party. But he said their subsequent sexual activities were consensual. “[Stewart] consented to and was a willing participant in the sexual activities between the parties,” according to court papers filed by Gibson. Both men have graduated from Penn and no longer reside in the area. “My client has left the Philadelphia area and is trying to move forward with his life,” said Alan E. Denenberg, an attorney for Stewart. He declined to say whether Stewart PAGE 12 identifies as gay, but

In a banquet room decorated with goldframed portraits and crystal chandeliers, Dr. Rachel Levine, Pennsylvania’s newly minted Physician General, gave a keynote address last week at the Union League of Philadelphia on the state of women’s health. Less than 24 hours before, she had been unanimously confirmed to her new post by the state Senate. As Levine stood at the podium, the smell of bacon began to overpower the lingering odor of old, white men that still clung to the oak-paneled walls, and as she began speaking, she did so as the highest-ranking transgender person in Pennsylvania government history — and the first-ever transgender person appointed to a governor’s cabinet in the Keystone State. “It was a very big day for me,” Levine told PGN, in her first sit-down interview since being confirmed to the position. “I’m absolutely thrilled.” Wasting no time, the 57-year-old doctor, who stood tall with frosted blond curls, got right to business. “The biggest health problem we have in our state is the opioid crisis,” Levine said. Opioids refer to heroin and addictive pain medications like Vicodin, PAGE 22

Cop in sex case denied payment for legal bills By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com A Philadelphia judge last week denied Officer Michael A. Paige’s request for payment from the city for his legal bills stemming from an alleged sexual assault. On June 9, Common Pleas Judge Jacqueline F. Allen said city taxpayers shouldn’t be required to pay Paige’s legal expenses, amounting to $189,991.55. The fees and costs were incurred by attorney Brian M. Puricelli, who defended Paige against allegations that he sexually assaulted James Harris in 2007. The officer contended he was entitled to the payment under a state law indemnifying municipal workers who incur legal expenses stemming from work-related duties. But in an 11-page ruling, the judge said Paige’s actions were outside the scope of his work duties, so the city has no obligation to pay his legal bills. Harris contends that Paige drove him to an isolated area of Fairmount Park, where the officer forced him to perform oral sex and digitally penetrated his anus. In her ruling, Allen acknowledged that another Philadelphia judge cleared Paige of any criminal wrongdoing in 2008, but also noted that a federal jury determined that Paige violated Harris’ bodily integrity and awarded him $165,000 in damages. “[Paige’s] alleged conduct is far outside

the scope of duties of a police officer,” Allen wrote. “Paige was in uniform, on duty and in his patrol car in the area assigned to him when he encountered Harris. Although Paige’s sexual conduct occurred completely within the time and space limits established by his employment, the sexual conduct is far from the kind Paige is employed to perform.” She said Paige was acting for selfish motives, not as a public servant. “Paige’s actions were effectuated only by personal desire for sexual gratification,” she wrote. “Paige’s alleged actions were not motivated in any part by a desire to serve the Philadelphia Police Department or accomplish its purposes.” In court papers, Paige insisted he was providing a valid service to Harris during their 2007 encounter. The officer said Harris was in Fairmount Park after hours partially clothed, and he took the young man aside to counsel him. City attorney Sean Kirby expressed agreement with Allen’s ruling. “We believe that the judge ruled correctly,” he told PGN. Paige was dismissed from the police force after his encounter with Harris. But an arbitrator ordered him reinstated, and the city didn’t appeal. Puricelli couldn’t be reached for comment. n

Gay attorney seeks sanctions against law firm By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Jeffrey S. Downs says a law firm he’s suing for anti-LGBT workplace bias continues to harass him with frivolous legal filings, and he wants sanctions imposed. The openly gay attorney recently was accused by the Center City law firm Anapol Schwartz of providing false information pertaining to his lawsuit against the firm. Downs worked at Anapol for about four years before trying to get a new job in 2012 due to alleged anti-LGBT workplace bias. He says working conditions at Anapol became intolerable. But when he tried to leave, Anapol officials defamed him to a prospective employer, nixing the job offer. He’s suing in state and federal courts, seeking in excess of $6 million in damages. In a recent court filing, Anapol accused Downs of providing false information about a March 2012 meeting, when Downs allegedly demanded $88,000 from the firm or he’d file an antibias suit. Downs vehemently denies providing any false information about the meeting. “My story is consistent and has been since day one,” he told PGN. “Anapol’s defense and story is contradicted by their own answer to my complaint, actions and responses to our discovery requests.” Downs says he incurred legal fees and

costs of about $5,000 when responding to Anapol’s accusation. He wants Common Pleas Judge Kenneth J. Powell Jr. to order Anapol to pay that legal bill. Downs claims Anapol has a pattern of filing frivolous motions to ramp up his legal expenses. The recent filing accusing him of providing false information was the “last straw,” he said. In May, a Philadelphia jury sided with Anapol, but Downs is requesting a new trial, citing “substantial and glaring reversible errors” by Powell, the trial judge. He’s also filed suit in federal court, and a jury trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 11. Though Downs believes the court system is plagued by “gamesmanship,” he remains optimistic. “[T]he courts are really not about truth but attorney gamesmanship and that is disappointing, but I remain hopeful,” he said. “I believe that to make a change you must have strong fortitude and not give up on the obstacles. We will push forward, in the hope that proper evidence is considered on retrial. If I lose this entire battle, personally it was not a waste of time or effort as it will chip away at the barriers to full justice for anyone who raises protected civil rights.” As of presstime, Powell hadn’t ruled on Downs’ request for sanctions against Anapol. Gaetan J. Alfano, an attorney for Anapol, declined to comment for this story. n

Legislative outlook: Where state-level LGBT bills stand By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com This month is one of the busiest times of the year in Harrisburg as legislators work to hammer out and pass the annual state budget. Unfortunately, other non-funding-related legislation, including several LGBTinclusive bills introduced this session, are being put on the back burner for now. PGN checked in with state lawmakers on the status of key LGBT-related legislation. Nondiscrimination Introduced last session by Rep. Dan Frankel (D-23rd Dist.), HB 300 is often regarded as the most important bill for LGBT Pennsylvanians. The long-awaited legislation would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the classes protected from discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations. Interest in the bill received an unlikely boost in early April following the debacle in Indiana over the passing of a state-level Religious Freedom Restoration Act — legislation many believe essentially grants business owners and corporations a license to discriminate against LGBT individuals. “We did have several members sign onto the bill after the Indiana debacle,” Frankel said. “I think as members continue to see other states passing bad bills (Michigan, North Carolina), we’ll continue to attract sponsors to the nondiscrimination bill.” But the bill has yet to actually be introduced this session. “We continue to engage advocates and other legislators to build a solid network of support for the bill prior to introduction,”

said Frankel. “That process is ongoing.” So far, 84 sponsors have signed on to the bill, four more than when PGN last spoke to Frankel in April. The same number of Republicans, 15, are sponsors. Frankel said he’s still facing opposition from certain House Republicans. “We want to introduce the bill before the end of the month, but our work to get it ready for introduction is ongoing,” he said. Conversion therapy This flashpoint issue, which concerns the effort to “convert” LGBs, often minors, to heterosexual identities has drawn out some of the most vocal opponents of such practices. In 2013, neighbor state New Jersey banned conversion therapy; currently, California, Oregon and Washington, D.C., also outlaw the practice for minors. After introducing a conversion-therapy bill last session that did not move forward, state Rep. Brian Sims (D-182nd) introduced HB 935 again in April — standing by one of his most important platform issues. “Right now, the bill is in the house health committee,” said Mason Lane, Sims’ chief of staff. “It was referred there when it was introduced. We haven’t seen much movement on it yet. We’re still trying to get a hearing on the bill.” Lane cited the time- and attention-consuming passage of the state budget as a reason for the bill’s stalling. “There is also still broad resistance to LGBT civil-rights issues in Pennsylvania and the legislature,” Lane said. “As well as a lack of understanding about what conversion therapy is and how harmful it can be.” PAGE 16 Thus, Lane said much

Out attorney now heading Temple Law’s alumni association By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com For the first time, an openly gay man has been elected to head the Temple University Beasley School of Law Alumni Association. Larry Felzer, 53, was elected to the position June 8 during the association’s annual meeting after serving as the president-elect of the organization’s executive board for the past two years. Prior to that position, Felzer sat on the executive committee board for 13 years. Making the president position official represented a vote of confidence from his fellow board members, Felzer said. “I’m very excited for this opportunity,” the Philadelphia native said. “I’m a little nervous, but I have been working with the association for a long time now. We are going to accomplish a lot.” Felzer, who graduated from the law school in 1994 and also earned his undergraduate business degree from Temple, said his title as the first out man to helm the organization sends a clear message to his fellow alumni and future Temple law-

school students. “I didn’t think much of it at first, but more and more people kept telling me how important this was,” Felzer said. “I realize now that we are sending a strong message to fellow alum and potential law students that we are inclusive and support diversity.” During his speech at the annual meeting last Monday, Felzer spoke about the challenges attorneys in Pennsylvania face

because of the lack of a state-level LGBTinclusive nondiscrimination law. He also spoke personally about being gay and the coming-out process. “I can only speak for myself, but the coming-out process is a lifelong process,” he told PGN, noting that aspect of his identity has made him more attuned to the needs of marginalized groups, which could be helpful in his new position. “I need to make the decision to come out to people around me on almost a daily basis. I would like to think that being a gay man makes me more sensitive to the concerns and needs of other minority groups, because I know what it’s like to be treated differently because of something you were born with.” Felzer’s primary responsibilities include working with the association’s board and creating and managing a diverse lineup of alumni programming. “We have events every other month or so for a variety of interest groups. We also run continuing legal-education events and in the fall we produce a swearing-in ceremony for grads that pass the bar,” Felzer said. “We are also preparing for our 100th

anniversary in October. We are going to have a big gala.” As for an LGBT-related event, Felzer said he’s eager to have an LGBT Temple Law Alumni Association table at the monthly GayBINGO! event. “We had an LGBT night a couple years ago, but it’s very important to me to have an LGBT person as part of the discussion when planning events going forward. I volunteer at GayBINGO!, so I think that could be a great place to start.” Felzer said he has two major goals for the association: diversity and service. “I really want to focus on diversity in terms of helping fellow alums, acting as mentors and letting people know about job opportunities,” he said. “And for service, I want to be doing projects helping vulnerable individuals who would not otherwise be able to afford an attorney.” Felzer has worked for the SeniorLaw Center, a nonprofit legal-services organization providing assistance to seniors throughout the state, for the past 12 years. He currently serves as director of development and finance. n

Creep of the Week

Editorial

Observations from Pride The most common sights from last weekend’s Pride festivities all seemed to involve the heat — festivalgoers fanning themselves, mopping sweat from their brows, pouring water on their and their friends’ heads. But there were also a number of scenes that represented more than the sweltering temperatures — and spoke to the direction in which our community is headed. The number of youth at the parade and festival was astounding. Each year, it seems as though the age of the crowd gets younger and younger. While that could be a testament to the increasing ease with which the younger generation is coming out, it also speaks to the notion that this generation is still seeking community. Although openly embracing one’s identity may be getting easier for young people, they still seem to be drawn to identifying with their community. Market Street was lined with young folks scrambling for rainbow beads, the crowd before the Pride stage was largely youth-oriented, the vendor tables were crawling with teenagers who were eagerly gathering information, collecting swag bags and adding their names to sign-up sheets. That notion suggests the potential that exists for future Pride and other community events; younger generations should play integral roles in their development. While our community’s history shouldn’t be neglected — fittingly the 50th anniversary of the Annual Reminders figured prominently into this year’s Pride — there’s also room for youth involvement. As evidenced by the announcement of next month’s first-ever Philadelphia Youth Pride, which has been conceived of, planned and organized by youth, our community’s young people are ready, willing and eager to lead. Another common scene at the event was the impressive number of allies. While LGBT community organizations and businesses were well-represented among the vendors, there was a wealth of non-LGBT tables — from national corporations to small businesses and everything in between. Whether it was the Philadelphia Police Department recruiting LGBT applicants or a local window-repair company offering their services to LGBT homeowners, the allies turned out in force, illustrating that mainstream society is recognizing that our community is full of viable consumers, clients, potential employees. Their involvement at Pride ideally mirrors advocacy for our community’s causes — or will motivate them to do so in the future. From allies to youth, the diversity on display at Pride was encouraging. As the colors of our rainbow expand, our community’s future gets brighter. n

Cover to cover The cover is overall stark, but arresting. The model, with flowing brown tresses, is sitting somewhat uncomfortably on a barely seen stool, looking directly at the camera. She wearing a white satin body shaper. Behind her, fogged metallic walls pick up her blurred reflection. Across her midriff is a simple phrase: “Call me Caitlyn.” The issue is the latest in a series of “coming-out” moments for Caitlyn Jenner, beginning with In Touch Weekly’s tawdry Photoshopped cover and progressing to a recent Diane Sawyer interview. There will be much, much more to come, no doubt, with a reality program waiting in the wings. Indeed, Jenner is no babe when it comes to the media, starting back in the days of Olympic gold and Wheaties boxes up to her part in the world of the Kardashians. The cover is groundbreaking.

is she the first known transperson to grace the cover of Vanity Fair but, at 65, Jenner is also the oldest woman to achieve the same honor. The photo, by Annie Leibovitz, is beautiful, lacking the sort of “shock value” one might normally expect the straight media to revel in. Indeed, much of the reporting on the cover has been positive, and Jenner has remained on our culture’s lips for yet another week, seeing heavy coverage throughout the mass media. The transgender community itself has had a mixed view of it all — though for the most part, the response has been positive. Many have also considered Jenner’s very high-profile transition as a “teachable moment,” using her celebrity to springboard additional transgender issues into the public consciousness.

We are a community-based organization that engages in social, political and economic advocacy and activism, as well as community grassroots organizing. The purpose of this letter is to address the lack of sustainable resources, media coverage and opportunities for oppressed marginalized communities such as the trans community, particularly trans women of color. In light of the recent publicity that Caitlyn Jenner has received, it has prompted me to address certain concerns I have.

With that being said, there are a number of issues that will be examined in this open letter. To begin, I would like to pose a question to the readers: Why is it that a person who has gained their social, political and economic role and position in society as a white male, who has been straight-identified for decades, granted the privilege of being hailed as someone who is breaking gender barriers, because all of a sudden they have decided to transition and live what is being called their “truth”? Countless individuals have preceded Jenner, yet none has received the same respect and acceptance she has by the LGBTQ community, mainstream media, the sports industry and many other organizations and groups.

But Denenberg wants the case to remain in state court. “This incident occurred in Philadelphia at a fraternity at the University of Pennsylvania,” Denenberg said. “Who better to decide this case than a jury from Philadelphia?” He reiterated that Stewart never consented to have sex with Gibson. “I’m sure if Mr. Stewart had a choice he would have preferred that this incident never took place,” Denenberg added. “He’s trying to seek justice for what the fraternity and Mr. Gibson did.” Jeffrey N.

PERSONALITIES PGN

Day in the Life of ... By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com Jovon Eldridge, aka DJ Jovi, is one of Philadelphia’s most in-demand DJs and is quickly becoming known throughout the industry following appearances on cable-television shows. Jovi, 30, regularly spins at Vango Lounge and Sky Bar, Tabu and Stimulus parties at Voyeur. While this article might be more appropriately titled, “Night in the Life of,” PGN caught up with the Springfield, Mass., native one afternoon to also see what went on when she wasn’t behind the booth. “Believe it or not, when I am not DJing, I am following my other passion — shoes,” said the Temple grad. Jovi reviews and writes about shoes for the mega-site kicksonfire. com. “I have a collection of over 300 pairs of shoes. I know them like the back of my hand,” Jovi said, sporting what looked like fresh-out-ofthe-box custom Vans. “Writing for kicksonfire is kind of my ‘day job.’” Jovi is often sent new shoes directly from manufacturers to review and is regularly invited to release parties. Her go-tos are Air Jordan IIIs and Supras. She has even competed and won competitions at sneaker trade shows, and her collection has appeared in magazines and documentaries. “It took me a while to realize I get paid to write about sneakers and to play music; not many people can say they are doing what they love and are making a good living,” Jovi said. While writing about shoes is essentially a full-time job for Jovi, she still finds plenty of time to work on her music. “I listen to a lot of music. A lot. Especially the radio,” Jovi said. “Some DJs might scoff at the radio but, for me, people are very programmed. They don’t really want to hear the music until they know it. So I listen to the radio to find out what’s popular.” From there, Jovi does some digital crate digging to find the song and various types of remixes. Using a MacBook, she imports the song into a program called Serato, where it is broken down into sections that a DJ can manipulate to create original content or play with the click of a button. Songs are also catalogued and compiled into playlists. “There are five queue points for each song that correspond to differ-

a disc jockey, DJ Jovi ent points in the song,” Jovi said. “I choose the queue points and am able to launch the song from them. That’s how we create remixes and special effects and put our own spin on it.” In addition to her laptop, Jovi utilizes a mobile Maschine-brand production studio that acts as a remote control to the software on her computer, as well as a portable turntable. Some venues already have this equipment, though at others, especially private parties or functions, she hauls the equipment with her. Jovi exhibits a mastery of the technical aspects of the profession that gives the illusion that she has been doing this her entire life. However, after five years in the industry, Jovi said she still has a long way to go. “Five years is still considered young in the game,” she said. “I’m on the right track. I’m doing everything you’re supposed to do.” Jovi said her next step is to get more into the production side.

feel the crowd out. I may have a set list of songs going into the night, but I usually end up not playing half of them and just improvising.” Another component to the job is talking about and promoting the club that night. “I deal with people and random requests. Lots of drunk people of course,” she joked. “I also sell every aspect of what’s happening that night, drink specials and all that.” Observing such a competent professional, it’s difficult to imagine

“I want to make my own original music and get into the creative side of things. Most of the DJs you hear about — Diplo, Steve Aoki, DJ Mustard — are producers. They started off as DJs. That’s the first step. Then they went on to create their own music.” According to Jovi, there are two types of DJs — the technical ones and those who just have fun. “I can do the technical stuff, scratching and cutting and all that — which is more exhibition-style — but I lean more towards the fun side,” she said. “I like to create more of a vibe and just have fun.” Jovi said sometimes she controls the party and other times she lets the crowd determine what they want to hear. “You, the DJ, are the party,” she said. “I usually go with the flow and

that Jovi became a DJ by accident. “I was working in the advertising department at the Tribune and got laid off. I took some time while I was on unemployment to figure things out,” she said. “My friends and I would have dinner parties all the time and I was always the one who brought the music.” Friends joked that Jovi should DJ. She said she remembered creating an ambiance that people really responded to. “One day I thought, Maybe I should try this. There was no master plan,” Jovi said. “I just liked music so much. I took my unemployment and bought some equipment. I didn’t even know how to use it. I had to watch YouTube videos.” Then Jovi DJ’ed her first party for friends in 2010 and has been working nonstop at it PAGE 16

TRANSMISSIONS from page 11

Task Force highlighted the stark differences between Jenner’s transition and others in a series of online posts covering discrimination, housing and economic privilege. Caitlyn Dewey, with help from Andrew McGill, created a “bot” to automatically correct commentators who chose to “misgender” Jenner. “‘Misgendering,’ as this practice is known in the LGBT community, isn’t just a style error in violation of AP’s own rules,” Dewey said in the Washington Post. “It’s a stubborn, longtime hurdle to transgender acceptance and equality, a fundamental refusal to afford those people even basic grammatical dignity.” Dewey and McGill sought to challenge this and, while they admittedly saw only very few change their minds on the pronouns they assigned to Jenner, they still felt the project itself was eye-opening, showing that perhaps there is a “seed of a suggestion here … that maybe compromise and dialogue are possible on the Internet.” Perhaps the strongest of the reactions to the Vanity Fair cover from within the transgender community were those of Crystal Frasier and Jenn Dolari. I’ve known both of them for many years, and they were kind enough to take a fair amount of their day answering my questions about their hashtag campaign, #MyVanityFairCover. You can see them all at myvanityfaircover.tumblr.com/. While they’ve made it clear that they are plenty-proud of Jenner for transitioning, they were frustrated with the expectation that transgender women — and indeed, all women — have to adhere to certain beauty standards in order to be taken seriously. Said Frasier, “The only covers we do see featuring trans women though — Caitlyn Jenner, Laverne Cox, Janet Mock — do focus on the physical beauty of these women (just like magazine covers featuring women inevitably do), and gloss over the accomplishments and skills as human beings. So no, I don’t generally think the media offers coverage and humanizing portrayals of trans women unless we happen to be attractive.” “I find it sets an unrealistic expectation of how

trans women should look, which sounds awfully familiar if you drop the ‘trans’ part of that sentence,” Dolari said. “For trans women, there’s an extra layer of ‘passabilty as identity’ added to the expectation of beauty — one that very few of us could ever meet. It sets up the idea that if you’re not perfectly passable, you’re not passing as a woman ‘right.’ We do come in all shapes and sizes and colors and, by ignoring that, presenting only the best, you create issues with beauty, not identity.” Added Frasier, “Trans people who can’t conceal our trans-looking traits aren’t afforded the benefit of the doubt, don’t see ourselves represented anywhere. If we’re visibly trans, then we’re told we have less value as human beings. The mainstream media likes to focus on the passing ones — the ‘success stories’ as I’ve heard a lot of cis people refer to them lately — and I think that pushes very unrealistic expectations for what transition is about and the results that are within the reach of the vast majority of the community. And I especially worry that that message can be damaging to young trans kids who just don’t know how to find any other narratives yet.” What they started, initially as a lark, Fraiser and Dolari expected the effort to only spread among “our friends and a few folks,” yet it has ignited social media as people took templates created by the pair to create their own Vanity Fair covers. These images show the true diversity of the transgender community: People of all gender presentations, all races and nationalities and all ages have stepped up and shown their faces to the world. For me, I’m glad to see Jenner on the cover, and am more than willing to welcome her into the fold. I also agree with Frasier and Dolari that her beauty did help get her on this cover, though I feel she does have more than a little tenacity and acumen to back her up. Now is not only Jenner’s time, but all of ours. The door is open, and it is time for all of us to step through. n Gwen Smith is strictly below the fold. You’ll find her on Twitter at @gwenners.

HARRISBURG from page 5

of the bill contains informative text on the issue. “A lot of the actual text itself is taken up with policy declarations from institutions and organizations from around the country,” he said. “It explains why this is so harmful.” The bill currently has 19 cosponsors, who Lane said represent a diverse geographic range throughout Pennsylvania. “We always try and draw more cosponsors, but the primary focus is at the committee level,” Lane said. “We are always talking to other representatives and staff, though.” Lane said he hopes to see movement on the bill in the fall. “We are always pushing our legislative initiatives, but I think the fall is a realistic timeline right now. Our primary goal remains to get the bill a hearing in the health committee.” Transgender issues State Rep. Mark Cohen (D-202nd Dist.) made good on his promise to introduce two bills this session that would extend unprecedented rights to transgen-

der Pennsylvanians. The first, HB 303, would amend the Public School Code to eliminate gender-based restrictions and prerequisites for transgender students. The bill would allow all students who identify with a certain gender to use that gender’s spaces and would bar harassment in gender-segregated spaces. The second, HB 304, would expand health-care coverage for transgender individuals, which would require coverage of transition-related care, including hormone therapy, mental-health care and surgery in all private, public and Medicaid plans, the latter being critical to a group experiencing a high poverty rate. The bills, which each have 10 cosponsors, are currently in the education and health committees, respectively. “I frankly do not expect them to be reported out of committee in this session,” Cohen said. “However, they remain important because they set forth what ought to be policy; they’re guidelines in a way that will hopefully influence school districts and insurance companies throughout the state.” Cohen noted that a clear lack of votes and conservatism in the

legislature would prevent the laws from being enacted in the foreseeable future. “People feel they’re good bills and are interested in seeing what happens,” said Cohen, “but it takes a while for people to get comfortable with new ideas. Most legislators weren’t aware of transgender people five years ago. It takes time for them to build up to a comfort level.” Cohen encouraged advocates of the bills to contact their legislators. “The more contact transgender people have with legislators, the better it will be for bills like the ones I’ve introduced, and the more support we will get for this type of legislation in the future.” Anti-bullying The Pennsylvania Safe Schools (PASS) Act, HB 156, is a comprehensive anti-bullying bill that defines and outlines policies and procedures for reporting and handling bullying in Pennsylvania public schools. The bill provides explicit protections for students based on actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

Introduced by Rep. Dan Truitt (R-156th Dist.), the legislation boasts 63 cosponsors and enjoys broad bipartisan support. However, parts of the bill were seen by critics as placing an undue fiscal burden on schools. “We are in the process of reworking the bill to further reduce the burden on schools,” Truitt said. “The main challenge is getting the bill to a form where it will not be regarded as another ‘unfunded mandate’ on our schools.” The bill was scheduled for a committee vote, but stakeholders halted it after raising the aforementioned concerns. “As soon as we finish preparing an amendment, we expect to reschedule the vote,” Truitt said. He added he expects to have the amendment completed in time for the bill to run in the fall. Hate crimes Following the Center City Philadelphia gay-bashing incident last September, the lack of a statewide LGBT-inclusive hate crimes law shocked many. State Rep. Kevin Boyle (D-172nd Dist.) introduced HB 218 while momentum was hot,

ever since. “Once people were like, ‘Oh, you DJ?’ it was party after party,” she said. “It was trial by fire. I just figured it out.” Jovi went on to make appearances on BET’s “106 and Park” and MTV’s “Made,” and is playing her first international gig in Barbados this summer. “It feels good to be able to add ‘international’ to the résumé. I love to travel,” Jovi said. “But I have just as much fun playing for clubs here in Philly and New York, especially the gay clubs. The gay crowd, they just have a good time. They come to dance. It’s a blast.” Such success didn’t go unnoticed by her parents, even though they may not have realized just how big of a deal their daughter was becoming. “When I decided to DJ, they were like, ‘Oh OK,’ and have been supportive of me,” Jovi said. “I’m the child in the family who is like, ‘I was hanging out with Diddy today,’ and they are just like, ‘Oh cool,’ and they go back to their business.” Jovi, who dates women, said she doesn’t like to label herself as lesbian. “I’m a pretty private person. I don’t necessarily identify as a lesbian. I don’t really like labels,” said Jovi. “I date plenty of women. I don’t hide it; I just don’t wear it on my sleeve. Plus, I haven’t been in anything serious, so there hasn’t been a real need for people to know.” Jovi said her family doesn’t really get involved in each other’s personal lives

but the bill never cleared the judiciary committee, where it still remains. However, Boyle said it continues to be a top priority. “Since the winter, I’ve had the opportunity to sit down and discuss the urgency of passing HB 218 with the Wolf administration,” he said. “The governor’s office has expressed full support for the bill and plans to make it a priority.” Boyle noted that the appointment of Dr. Rachel Levine, Pennsylvania’s first transgender physician general, has helped regain some of the momentum that cooled between legislative sessions. “Her appointment has certainly helped us regain momentum and to start to have serious discussions about moving forward anti-discrimination legislation like this,” he said. Despite all the attention in Harrisburg on the budget, Boyle remains optimistic about the future of the bill, which has 48 cosponsors. “As we enter the busiest time of the legislative year, I am confident we will get this bill out of the judiciary committee very soon,” he said. n

either. “In my family, we just don’t ask about that stuff. With my friends, though, they’ll see me. They know,” she said. Jovi stressed her privacy about such things had nothing to do with her industry. “It wouldn’t hinder anything, careerwise,” she said. “People love it, actually.” Despite keeping her private life private, Jovi works many of the events within the Philadelphia LGBT community. As gay producer extraordinaire Josh Schonewolf’s go-to DJ, Jovi frequently finds herself at Tabu and the like. “Josh produces almost every gay production in Philly,” Jovi said. “I do all of his stuff. We had Battle Royale on Tuesday. Just finished Mr. Everything, which is a 10-week competition. Before that, it was Miss Everything. They have some stuff starting in July. I stay busy in the community.” With everything she has going on here in Philadelphia and elsewhere, Jovi said she’s happy to see her hard work paying off. “People know me, they’re paying attention. I get a lot of calls about different things and projects,” she said. “I’m just working now, though, and focused on producing content. I want to be able to go to my website and see that I have all this content. I’m getting all my ducks in a row.” n For all the information on Jovi, including music samples, videos and contact info, visit www.djjovibaby.com.

LEVINE from page 1

Oxycontin and Percocet. During her tenure, Levine plans to implement guidelines for prescriptions and a monitoring program with an online registry. This program would help to prevent “doctor shopping,” a term used to describe the practice of patients going to multiple doctors in search of prescription medication. Levine also aims to get the drug Narcan, which can reverse overdoses, into the hands of first responders, hospitals, police and the public. “Narcan comes as a nasal spray or an auto injector that looks like an EpiPen,” Levine said. “It’s an amazing medication because it doesn’t have any other side effects. It’s absolutely life-saving.” Since 1996, Levine served as a physician at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. She graduated from the Tulane University School of Medicine. However, her life changed dramatically late last year when she was asked to create a report for then Gov.-elect Tom Wolf and his Secretary of Health, Karen Murphy. “I didn’t know Gov. Wolf before this. I was asked to be the co-chair of the transitions committee for health. I like to say [Wolf] picked me because I specialized in transitions,” Levine laughed. Discussions then began about Levine’s role in the new Wolf administration. Within a week-and-a-half in January, she was interviewed, Wolf officially asked her to be Physician General, the announcement was made on a Saturday morning and on Monday she saw her regular patients

until 6 p.m. The following day, she was sworn in and on Wednesday reported to the Department of Health for her new job as Acting Physician General. Although she began the work in January, it took nearly five months for the state Senate to confirm her position, a move that finally happened June 9. “I’m learning that, unlike in hospitals, state government can move a bit slowly,” Levine joked. Although Levine will have to adapt to a slower pace in government, there’s no denying that most Pennsylvanians’ attitudes are changing in a hurry when it comes to LGBT acceptance. House Bill 300, an anti-discrimination edict that Wolf said he wants to sign in his first term, is evidence that the commonwealth and the country are moving in the right direction. Levine’s own transition process about five years ago helped her former employer move in that direction as well. “At Penn State-Hershey Medical Center, what we wanted to do was move the bar from tolerance to acceptance,” she said. “The hospital expanded their nondiscrimination policy to include gender identity and expression as I transitioned; previously, it had been sexual orientation.” Transgender people are not just coming out at work, but also making bold statements in popular culture. On television, transgender characters appear on such popular shows as “Orange is the New Black” and “Transparent.” While Levine said she

doesn’t watch much TV, she has read about some of these shows. “It’s important to have background role models that normalize trans people so that it’s apparent that we’re a part of society,” she said. “We must be represented.” According to Levine, there wasn’t much sociological context for being transgender when she was growing up. She did recognize that something was different when she was a child, but came into her own understanding gradually.

ating class at the Boston University School of Law in 1946. She went on to become a practicing attorney. Lillian continues to serve as a positive role model for Levine from her senior living facility located not far from her daughter in the Harrisburg area. As Pennsylvania’s top doc, Levine’s days begin early (she was up at 3 a.m. the day we met to catch the 5 a.m. train from Harrisburg to Philly). When she’s not working, the Harvard grad likes to walk her two soft-coated Wheaton Terriers, Bailey and Gracie. She thinks the song “Defying Gravity” from the musical “Wicked” is her personal anthem and loves listening to Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon and Carole King. She’s acted at both Theatre Harrisburg and the Hershey Area Playhouse. In her new role in the Wolf administration, Levine is looking forward to being in Philadelphia more often; she said she enjoys drinking Earl Grey tea in Rittenhouse Square and is hoping to explore Philadelphia restaurants that cater to her dietary needs. “You haven’t lived until you’ve had dairyfree, gluten-free pizza with a rice crust and soy cheese,” Levine quipped. Back at her office in the Department of Health, Levine is ready to roll up her sleeves. “I enjoy being an agent of change. I joke with Dr. Karen Murphy, the Secretary of Health, that if the administration wanted to keep the status quo, they picked the wrong people.” n

“When I came out to my mother, she said, ‘I’m not sure I understand, honey, but my love is unconditional and I accept you completely.’” She said she started thinking about a transition when she was in her 40s and then transitioned about a decade later. Her family includes an ex-wife with whom she’s extremely close and two adult children they co-parent. She counts her girlfriend as one of her strongest allies. Her 90-year-old mother, Lillian, is Levine’s best friend. “When I came out to my mother, she said, ‘I’m not sure I understand, honey, but my love is unconditional and I accept you completely,’” Levine said. “I began to cry.” Lillian Levine was a maverick in her own right: She was the only female in her gradu-

Let’s Make a Deal Prosecutorial wheeling and dealing

oyal readers of LibCityPress know that we have wasted no ink on the behavior of Kathleen Kane. From botched press statements to a revolving door of senior staff, there has been much to chastise. But the events of recent days have led us to reopen the case of Media v. AG Kane and put fresh eyes upon the facts as we know them now. Our latest review raises more questions than it answers but leads us to one conclusion: as for bad actors in the sting investigation, the case against Kathleen Kane is far from a slam dunk; the case against Seth Williams is still up in the air; and the case against Frank Fina, the former deputy AG who launched the sting, then leaked it to the Inquirer, is open and shut. And our assessment boils down to the deals each made. First. Frank Fina. The deal he made to turn Tyron Ali from a convicted criminal into a confidential informant (CI) is hard to fathom. The facts are these, as reported by Brad Bumsted, who has done the most thorough reporting on the sting for the TribLive: On November 30, 2012, Frank Fina “prepared and signed [an] agreement … dismissing 2,088 charges against Tyron B. Ali, a former day care center president whom prosecutors had charged with defrauding the Education Department [in exchange for] working undercover and offering cash to state lawmakers.”

Bumsted continues: “Ali’s lawyer filed a motion in court demanding action on the agreement [i.e., dropping all charges against Ali] and Kane had no choice. At least one legal expert, Duquesne University Law School professor Wes Oliver, said Kane correctly had to dismiss the charges because Ali, ‘lived up to his half of the bargain.’”

Plea deals announced this week … told us all we need to know about this strength of this sting. “He never declined to cooperate,” Oliver said. Based on a U.S. Supreme Court decision, the charges had to be dismissed when Ali’s lawyer demanded it. Asked if her signature was a technicality, Oliver said: “It sounds like it.” So Fina executes an enforceable agreement absolving Ali of all responsibility for over 2,000 counts of fraud against the Department of Education in exchange for agreeing to hand cash to state legislators and wear a wire while doing so. Ali’s lawyer gets to enforce it whether or not charges are ever brought, which he does when they are not. Well, one would certainly hope that the

commonwealth got its money’s worth from what AG Kane called, “the deal of the century.” Certainly a case worth dropping 2,000 counts of fraud should, at the very least, deliver us pictures of state legislators being marched into court and then to prison. Surely Tyron Ali’s freedom is worth at least this. And now we focus our attention on Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams, who hired Frank Fina when he left the AG’s office, criticized Kane for not pursuing the sting, convened a grand jury to do just this and concluded, as reported by Bumsted: “I believe it’s important to remember where we started, with evidence of widespread yet supposedly not prosecutable political corruption … This case is press and play. Press a button, listen to the tapes. Press a button, watch a video. This is demonstrative, tangible evidence of the quid pro quo.” Great! A slam-dunk case! Surely now we get to throw the book at the legislators, lock them up and make an example of them that public corruption will not be tolerated in this state. But what did hard-charging Seth Williams deliver us? Plea deals announced this week by Williams told us all we need to know about the strength of this

sting. Jail time for any of them? Nope. Take away their pensions? Uh-huh. Just lose your job and walk away. No harm, no foul. Leading followers of this story like Bumsted to headline his latest story: “Corrupt Pennsylvania lawmakers skate,” and PennLive’s John Micek to lead with: “Bribes, no jail, and a pension. Did Philly corruption lawmakers get off light?” Of course, the idea of a slap on the wrist doesn’t sit well with the DA’s lead prosecutor Mark Gilson, who responded, “People don’t plead guilty if they think that the Commonwealth doesn’t have a very strong case.” Or maybe, Mr. Gilson, the converse is true: the commonwealth cuts a deal with a defendant as sweet as the deal you cut when it thinks it doesn’t have a case it can win at trial. Tyron Ali got a sweet deal from Fina. Legislators caught on tape got a sweet deal from DA Williams. Seems like the only ones getting a raw deal are the taxpayers who have to pay for these deals.

SHERIFF’S SALE Properties

sold

JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff on Tuesday, July 7, 2015 at First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, at 10:00 AM. (EST) Conditions of Sheriff’s Sale for JUDICIAL/FORECLOSURE SALE

Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price. Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff. The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale. The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be a sum sufficient to pay all Sheriff’s costs including advertising, all taxes, water rents and municipal claims due to the City of Philadelphia. If there is no other bid price above the opening bid price, the property shall be sold by the auctioneer to the attorney on the writ at that price. The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadel-

SHERIFF’S SALE

phia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly. No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County. The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudulent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the Sheriff Sale. Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine. The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale. All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale. Prospective purchasers are directed to the Web site of the Philadelphia Bureau of Revision of Taxes, (BRT) brtweb.phila. gov for a fuller description of the properties listed. Properties can be looked up by the BRT number – which should be cross checked with the address. Prospective purchasers are also directed to the Room 154 City Hall, 215-686-1483 and to its website philadox.phila.gov and to its website at http://philadox. phila.gov where they can view the deed to each individual property and find the boundaries of the property. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE NATURE, LOCATION, CONDITION AND BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTIES THEY SEEK TO PURCHASE. The BRT # refers to a unique number assigned by the City Bureau of Revision of Taxes to each property in the City for the purpose of assessing it for taxes. This number can be used to obtain descriptive information about the property from the BRT website. Effective Date: July 7, 2006

Schedule of Distribution Thirty (30) Days from the date of the sale of Real Estate. Distribution will be made in accordance with the Schedule unless exceptions are filed thereto within ten (10) days thereafter. N.B. - For the benefit of our non-professional readers who do not understand the meaning of the letters and figures following the defendant’s names, we make the following. EXPLANATION The name first appearing in each notice is that of the defendant in the writ whose property is being sold. All Writs are Writs of Executions. The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court - indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ. Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions. Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales conducted by him.

Crowds beat the heat at Pride By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com

About 15,000 people are estimated to have converged in Philly for last weekend’s Pride festivities — which offered a day of entertainment, education and everything in between. Philly Pride Presents executive director Franny Price said the day went off without any major problems, although the high temps did have a few people seeking medical attention. The parade was scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m., a half-hour earlier than usual; while it did get started a bit later than scheduled, Price said the parade flowed more smoothly than usual. “The police did a great job blocking the streets,” she said, noting that, even with 10 more groups than last year’s event — 76 contingents in total — the parade hit Penn’s Landing earlier than expected. “We had no obstacles, we didn’t have to stop at intersections because everything was blocked off really well. This was the first time in years the whole parade was in the festival before 2 o’clock.” Leading the parade were this year’s grand marshals: Pennsylvania Physician General Dr. Rachel Levine, the state’s highest-ranking openly transgender person, and Nellie Fitzpatrick, director of Philadelphia’s Office of LGBT Affairs. The parade also included a tribute to late trans activist Charlene Arcila, with the renaming of the grand-marshal float in her honor. The community also remembered the late Gloria Casarez, the city’s former director of LGBT Affairs, whose seat at the judging table was left open, carrying a picture of Casarez. At the festival, Pridegoers perused more than 155 vendors and took in the stage performances. “The whole lineup was really, really good; I’m really happy with it,” Price said. Headliner Fran Drescher was especially well-received, she said. “All she had to do was that laugh and say ‘Mr. Sheffield’ and people were roaring,” Price said. “I guarantee a lot of

Prides will now be going after Fran. Wendy Williams was our headliner a few years ago and we were her first Pride; last year she did eight Prides. We try to come up with creative, unique headliners.” Fitting that bill was musician Puddles Pity Party, the clown with the big voice who Price said wowed the crowd. “His voice is incredible,” she said. “There was a guy in the crowd telling Puddles he was his biggest fan and he

gave him a red nose and a hat; people loved him.” Alex Newell of “Glee” was also a hit, Price said. “It was so awesome seeing all of the young people in front of the stage, jumping up and down. Some of them didn’t even know the words to all the songs, but they were having the best time,” she said. “When he sang ‘I Know Where I’ve Been’ … I don’t think I’ll ever hear anything like that again; it was incredible.” n

MOMENTS FROM THE MARCH: Hundreds of dykes and allies participated in the annual Philadelphia Dyke March June 13. Before the march set off from Kahn Park, organizers held a powerful moment of silence for the late Gloria Casarez, one of the march’s founding members and the city’s former director of LGBT Affairs, who died this past fall. Casarez’s presence was ubiquitous throughout the march, with some marchers carrying photos of her and the likeness of her scooter included on the official march T-shirts. After the march, which wound its way through Center City, participants regrouped at the park for live performances and later a Stimulus after-party at Voyeur. Photos: Scott A. Drake

“This is a good way for youth to connect with other youth,” Walker said. “Instead of just sitting there and being lectured at, our PowerPoints and presentations are more like a conversation. You won’t just be sitting there taking notes, but instead having a conversation.” Mazzoni education manager Louie Ortiz said the amount of time the youth planners have invested in Youth Pride is impressive. “It sounds cliché, but I’m so inspired by these youth,” Ortiz said. “They’ve been spending their after-school time coming up with great ideas, and that’s inspiring to see. Seeing their investment in our community makes me feel confident our future is definitely something to look forward to.” Partners include William Way, John C. Anderson Apartments — where Mazzoni Center will provide free STI screening for youth the day of the event — and Philly Pride Presents, which is staging an Annual

Reminders block party that day, which will coincide with the afternoon festival portion of Youth Pride. The youth area will include performances by local youth musicians as well as an openmic segment, where youth performers can share their talents with the crowds. Ortiz said he expects Youth Pride participants to range in age from 13-24. So far, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, he said. “Everyone who hears that Youth Pride is happening, we don’t even have to explain what it is; young people just hear ‘Youth Pride’ and they’re excited,” he said. Youth Pride, which absorbed Mazzoni’s LEAD Conference, is expected to become annual. “It’s important that youth have our own safe space,” Nelson said. “And not just LGBTQ youth; this is for all youth to come out and celebrate being youth. It’s important to celebrate and love yourself openly.” n

Celebrating Fruits of Their Labor Block parties, tours, activities sprout for Community Garden Day

he gardeners and their reasons for gardening are as varied as the sections of the city in which they cultivate their plots. At Aspen Farm around 49th Street in West Philadelphia, an aging group has long tended trees, vegetables, flowers, and a fish and lily pond. So they’ll soon begin working with raised-bed plots, to ease the strain on their backs and knees, and accommodate wheelchairs. Around 8th and Emily streets in South Philadelphia, Burmese and Bhutanese refugees began arriving with desperate nutritional and sustenance needs. So on the third-of-an-acre plot there, gardeners produce about 5,000 pounds of 67 types of crops that are indigenous to the refugees’ homelands. Meanwhile, in Strawberry Mansion in North Philadelphia, the gardeners dream of jobs as pastry chefs, nutritionists or restaurateurs. Their garden, across from the neighborhood high school on Ridge Avenue near 31st Street, is part of the school’s culinary arts program. If you’re one of those residents who pay little attention to the open spaces and spots of green that dot our city of rowhouses, skyscrapers and bustling neighborhoods, they will be harder to overlook on Saturday, June 20. That’s Community Gardens Day, part of the Neighborhood Gardens Trusts’ mission to preserve, protect and promote community gardening. The trust is an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.

There are 300 community gardens in Philadelphia, and 45 will participate in the Community Gardens Day. They’ll be the site of tours of their lush oases and demonstrations on composting and pruning, musical performances, arts & crafts activities and barbecues. Their gardeners will say, look what we have grown — exotic flowers, luscious fruits and fields for pollinating insects, as well as a sense of togetherness, pride and accomplishment. “This used to be all abandoned, trash and rubbish filled lots,” Christian Przybylek, said of the Eighth and Emily streets lot. The community integration specialist at Nationalities Service Center stated, in a story written by William Hao-Wei Yang that appeared on the organization’s website, “Now it’s a beautiful green space in South Philadelphia which is so lacking in the area. There are a lot of things that have taken place in the garden.” The garden will be celebrated with a block party. “These spaces that exist, they offer like a green oasis, from the concrete and the dense urban landscape of Philadelphia,” says Neighborhood Gardens Trust Executive Director Jennifer Greenberg, who holds a master’s degree in city planning from the University of Pennsylvania. But she admits that key to the space is the people. “It’s hard work. You need a good team.” The 45 participating gardens, parklets and open spaces will be open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. A map of the participants and additional information on Community Gardens Day is available at the Neighborhood Gardens Trust’s website at www.ngtrust.org.

AC ul t ure The Real Lady Patti Marmalade LaBelle: rts

FEATURE PGN

By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com

As living legends go, Patti LaBelle has to be among the best. Along with the usual list of pop and R&B icons like Aretha, Cher and Diana, LaBelle provided one of the original blueprints for damn-near every diva who has come after her looking to parlay their singing skills into greater super-stardom. Her voice has been a force of nature since the late 1960s. And really, can any of you keep your rump from shaking when “Lady Marmalade” plays anywhere? She pushed the envelope in the 1970s and ’80s when it came to wild onstage clothing, both as a member of LaBelle and as a solo act. She’s also found time throughout the decades to write her autobiography and a number of successful cookbooks. (Yeah, let’s see Beyoncé or Katy Perry try to make macaroni and cheese or potato salad from scratch.) If that wasn’t enough, she is an accomplished actor as well, appearing in movies, television shows (“Different World,” “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “American Horror Story”) and on Broadway (“Fela!”). She also recently competed on the latest season of “Dancing with the Stars.” While on break between “Stars” and preparations for her

most of them, I’ll do them in medley form so I’ll have time to do other songs. So it’s never a hard choice.

upcomi n g s u m mer tour, which will find her performing in her hometown of Philadelphia July 9, LaBelle talked to PGN about her multi-faceted career and what the future holds for her. PGN: With so many hits to your credit, is it difficult to choose which ones to do when you perform in concert? PL: I don’t have that many hits. I would say it’s about 10 songs that I might consider hits. There’s always going to be “New Attitude,” “Lady Marmalade,” “If You Only Knew,” “If You Asked Me To” and maybe five more. But it’s never hard. Sometimes if I want to do

PGN: Which of your songs would you say is the most challenging to sing? PL:“Somewhere Over the Rainbow” is the most satisfying song that I sing. The most challenging song I sing is “If You Love Me” by Edith Piaf that I did on a live album many years ago. It’s a crazy song and I’ve done it in my shows recently. PGN: You have one of the all-time great and influential voices in music. Do you see your influences in any of the newer singers out today? PL: Ledisi told me that she feels that way about my voice. If you mean lit-

tle girls that remind me of me, Ledisi, Fantasia and Leela James are the ones I can think of.

PGN: Besides your voice, you are also known for the wild clothes you used to wear on stage. Do you consider yourself a fashion icon? PL: I love clothes. I love shoes, purses and beautiful gowns. Yeah, I would consider myself an icon. I love to dress. I will never, ever top those outrageous costumes. I stay as close to sane as possible. At 71, if I wore one of those outfits people would think I snapped. So I wouldn’t go there. I can’t compete with those backin-the-day outfits. PGN: Back in the 1970s and ’80s, singers would routinely tour with comedians instead of other musicians. You toured with Richard Pryor. Why did singers and comedians stop touring together? PL: I don’t know why they stopped doing that. It certainly worked with Richard Pryor and myself. Arsenio Hall would open my shows in different cities. But it doesn’t happen much anymore. PAGE 26

PGN: Does it bother you that there are so-called singers packing theaters and arenas these days who aren’t singing live? PL: Yes, it bothers me, of course, but if that’s the way they can make it, God bless them. But it is such a cheat to the audience. But sometimes the audience doesn’t care. They could put a stop to it; if they realized if they were singing to trash — I mean to tracks — and didn’t complain, it would continue to go on and on. If I was in the audience, I would complain and shut it down. But they get away with it. PGN: You’ve also had a long and successful acting career. When you first started acting, did you take to it quickly or was there a learning curve? PL: Acting is very hard. It’s hurry up and wait. You wait all day for a scene and then that scene comes and you have to do it 50 times in a row. You ask yourself, Why did I say yes to acting? My life, my love and liv-

ing will be singing. Acting is beautiful but it is very hard and demanding.

done. It’s old standards and jazz music, just music that I love to sing. Hopefully you will hear it this year.

PGN: You’ve done theater, movies and television, and you’ve done comedy, drama and horror. Do you have a preference when it comes to the acting roles that you take? PL: I love dramas, but never a lovemaking scene. Never anything like that.

PGN: A few years ago you did a LaBelle reunion album and tour. Do you think that is something you would like to revisit in the future? PL: We spoke three days ago. We’re talking about touring and working again. We’re very close and we know it’s necessary.

PGN: How did you enjoy being on “Dancing with the Stars?” PL: I loved it. I just spoke to Rumer [Willis] and knew when I first met her that she was a star and she was going to win. I was there for eight weeks with rehearsals and I loved everybody there. I loved my partner. That’s an experi-

ence that I’m happy I said yes to. PGN: Are you currently working on any new music? PL: I have a CD that will be released hopefully soon. There’s no title yet, but it’s

PGN: Do you still get approached by artists and producers for dance-oriented recording projects? PL: That’s definitely my next project: a dance album, very high-energy. I will be doing that. n Patti LaBelle performs 7 p.m. July 9 at Dell Music Center, 2400 Strawberry Mansion Dr. For more information or tickets, call 215-685-9566 or visit www.pattilabelle.com.

Deborah Rose: Exploring ‘50 shades’ of sexuality The William Way LGBT Community Center is a pretty amazing place. The center offers a plethora of programs, with something to do for almost everyone. You can peruse original works of art in the lobby, take a tai chi class, receive counseling, get tested, join a bridge club, meditate, play a rollicking game of mah jongg, polish your writing skills, learn about finance or get spanked. Wait, back that up. What was that last one? Yes, those who want to explore their 50 shades of the rainbow can check out The Aviary, a kink/BDSM party that happens once a month at the center. FYI: It’s not actually a William Way program, but an event put on by The Aviary — a fetish group that describes itself as an “improvisational interactive theater. ” The Aviary emphasizes education, community and fun, and we spoke to organizer Deborah Rose to learn a little more about the group. PGN: I read you listed your occupation as a professional iPod shuffler. DR: [Laughs] Yes, I am a very proficient shuffler. I don’t like to make playlists so I have just a giant starred list shuffling on my Spotify account. PGN: What do you really do? DR: Well, I have the job I do 9-5, and the job I do after 5 o’clock. From 9-5, I work in a nonprofit housing project where I put low-income people in touch with housing resources and options. It’s really interesting and fulfilling, but after 5 o’clock I’m a professional kink promoter. I run kink and BDSM events throughout the city. I promote good community and education for people who are into alternative sexual expressions. PGN: How did you fall into that? DR: The same way everyone falls into something weird: In my early 20s I broke up with a girl and my very best friend took me to an event to help me get over my heartbreak. It was a BDSM event and I fell in love with the people and the community — the way that they governed themselves and the way they give back to the community at large. I got involved and never left. It’s evolved to where 10 years later I run parties and events. I’ve gotten to lead a very interesting life. PGN: For anyone uninitiated, explain what a BDSM event would be like. DR: [Laughs] Most BDSM events are far more tame than you’d probably picture in your brain. They normally happen at campgrounds or hotels and they’re usually three-four-day weekend events. They generally get anywhere from 100-300 people and will have somewhere between

25-55 classes to educate people about skill sets that we all practice, concepts that we might enjoy, like classes on sacred sexuality, polyamory or different alternative expressions like sado-masochism — how to do it safely and well. The goal is to educate. and then at night we party. There are play parties that happen in what people, when they picture them, call dungeons, but we call them play spaces. They have all the stuff you’d expect to have: Saint Andrew’s crosses, spanking benches, winches mounted into the ceilings. It looks like a giant sexual-deviant playground and it’s a lot of fun! The purpose of these events is always community and education first. Yeah, we like to party but the heart of it is earnest education. We have a large influx of people coming into our community right now because of “50 Shades of Grey,” so our job is always to educate first, party second. PGN: Are they predominantly LGBT events? DR: Well, a lot of kink and BDSM grew out of the LGBT community; the gay leather culture was certainly a driving force in bringing the community to heel, getting it under control and well-organized. One of the things I really love about the kink/BDSM community is that it really runs the gamut. There’s no group that does not have representation within the community. We’re all interested in creating as open a space as possible, so no one group is dominant, but there is a very large queer presence. I think the exposure to LGBT people opened a lot of people’s eyes and makes it a lot easier for us all to work together. PGN: “Kinky Boots” was just in town. Do you think shows like that help the movement gain mainstream acceptance? DR: Absolutely! In the past few years, there have been a lot of things in pop culture that have come into the national consciousness that have made it easier for the community to come into the limelight, so to speak. There’s a series by Anne Rice, “The Sleeping Beauty” trilogy, which has really resonated with a lot of people. Every day we have new people join who found out about it through a pop-culture medium. And they want to learn what the community is actually about, rather than the fictionalized version. The books and films don’t represent the reality but they certainly get people interested and asking questions. PGN: What did “50 Shades” get right and what did it get wrong? DR: I think they got more wrong than right. You’ll find a lot of kinksters took umbrage with the book, but fortunately the movie left a lot of the problematic parts

out and what it did well was to give people a visual — an idea of what kink looks like sometimes, not all the time. In fact, we have a phrase in BDSM, called “Your kink is not my kink” because everybody practices it differently and no one person’s way is right. In “50 Shades,” people got an idea of what a personal play space might look like and what a crop and a whip look like and that the whole thing is not as scary and intimidating as it is sometimes portrayed or can appear from the outside. What it got right was that it gave people a chance to say, “This is something my grandmother knows about, so it can’t possibly be the scariest thing in the world.” And while it may still be seen as alternative and other, it’s being more accepted within mainstream culture, which allows people the freedom to ask questions. PGN: Explain the terms and the difference between kink and BDSM. DR: There are actually three terms that we use: fetish, kink and BDSM. Kink is

about when you think of kink: impact play, which is the physical hitting of the person, or DS, which is dominant/submissive, which is a power exchange — well-negotiated and agreed upon between two partners. Sometimes DS is a relationship and sometimes it is just a momentary thing, but what is allowed and not allowed is carefully considered and agreed upon. PGN: What’s the most outrageous assumption someone has expressed to you? DR: I do a lot of rope work, and there are always a lot of questions when I say that I tie people up. People will ask, “Doesn’t that cut off the blood circulation?” Just recently, someone walked up and asked the person that I was tying if they were OK. Thinking that I would actually do something harmful! I won’t pretend that there aren’t things that can go wrong and be dangerous but we’re governed by a set of rules and one of them is “Risk aware, consensual kink.” That just says, we know what we’re doing and take responsibility for the actions that we’re consenting to and that we’re educated about those choices. PGN: Ha. My dumb question was, did you watch those old cartoons of Nell tied to the train tracks when you were a kid? DR: I did! [Laughs] Snidely Whiplash was a hero to many people I know.

PGN: So where do the events take place? You mentioned hotels and campgrounds. DR: Those are the big events. Every city has its own play spaces. Philadelphia doesn’t have its own place so it’s usually somewhere we rent out. The Aviary, the city’s largest play party, is held at William Way. We take over the whole mansion and run a really extensive party.

By David-Elijah Nahmod PGN Contributor Transgender activists have long decried the lack of opportunities for transgender actors in the film and television industries. Most trans roles, they say, are played by cis-gender actors. Though many in the trans community were pleased when Maya Avant, a character on “The Bold and the Beautiful,” was recently outed as trans, there was a collective sigh when Karla Mosley, the actor who plays Maya, acknowledged she was a cis-gender woman. But, transgender viewers of “B&B” got their wish. The long-running soap opera has just cast actor Scott Turner Schofield as Nick, an old friend and mentor to Maya. Nick is a transgender man — so is Schofield. “Nick is a good friend who shows up after not having heard from Maya for a while,” Schofield explained to PGN. “He helps her see the truth about herself.” Schofield, who is currently airing on “B&B,” revealed that his character is recurring, and that he is not under contract. “I hope there are enough episodes for people to see who Nick really is,” he said. “That would really be something.” He would like Nick to be a fully developed character, complete with the shades of gray that make us all human. “Every trans person is a hero, but we are not perfect,” he said. “What are Nick’s issues? What makes him tick?” The actor hopes that Nick and Maya will open viewers’ hearts toward the transgender community, noting the soap is broadcast around the world, including in places like the ultra-conservative Middle East. “Violence against trans people is part of daily life,” he said. “To get a dream acting job where they talk about trans lives so cor-

rectly, well, I couldn’t be more thrilled. The storyline is causing viewers to think.” Schofield said he began his own coming-out experience at a young age. “I knew I was a boy when I was 3,” he recalled. “When I was 11, my best friend said that they didn’t know what was going to happen to me if I didn’t stop doing boy things.” It wasn’t until he met a trans man when he was in his 20s that Turner found community. His family, he said, is supportive. “Once my family realized that I was showing my true authenticity, once they realized that I haven’t changed, they were fine,” he said. He said he hopes the visibility he and other trans celebrities are achieving will improve the lives of trans people everywhere. In addition to the escalating violence being perpetrated against trans women of color, transgender people face unemployment levels that are higher than 50 percent. Schofield is, in fact, the first transgender actor to be cast in a major role on daytime television. “It’s ridiculous that in 2015 I’m the first,” he said. “Give us a job.” n “The Bold and the Beautiful” airs weekdays on CBS and weeknights on Pop TV.

Book explores the lives of gay fathers By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Just in time for Father’s Day, a book is hitting shelves that explores how gay fathers go about building and maintaining families. Written by Aaron Goodfellow, an independent scholar and former director of the Program for the Study of Women, Gender and Sexuality at Johns Hopkins University, “Gay Fathers, Their Children and the Making of Kinship” is based on fieldwork Goodfellow conducted from 1994-2004 with 35 gay men in rural, suburban and urban areas across a number of states, who built families with children through adoption, surrogacy and heterosexual marriages. “I was living in Manhattan and I met two men in Central Park who had taken what I thought at the time was a nontraditional path to parenthood,” Goodfellow said. The couple was from Guatemala, and one of the men returned to that country to bring the child of an unwed mother back to the United States, to be raised as the naturalized child of a U.S. citizen. “This was in the mid1990s, before the legalization of same-sex adoption. So that was the point of the launching of my project.” Goodfellow said his interviewees didn’t always fit into the narratives he initially thought would be common. “I expected to find a discussion of how we willed this family into being, a very particular statement of our being gay fathers,” he said. “Instead, what I found was something far more mysterious. It was something that people knew they had to do instead of choosing into being. I wasn’t expecting to find so much traditional family and family values. I wasn’t expecting to find families that went to church, families moving from Manhattan to rural Montana to be with their biological families. I wasn’t expecting to find so much traditional family.” Part of the reason he was surprised, Goodfellow said, was because of the scholastic assertions at the time. “At that time, in the 1990s, there was this academic discussion about ‘brave new families’ that were undoing and reconfiguring family relationships. Gay families were situated right at the center of this. I was following what academia was already talking about and defining more radical configurations of the nuclear family. I was trying to find something and I didn’t find it. I found myself saying, The story that is being told in the universities is off-base. This isn’t what I’m finding at all.” n “Gay Fathers, Their Children and the Making of Kinship” is in stores now.

Weather, or not Summer sports are frequently conditional. In most cases, if it rains, they stop. Alternately, if it rains too much prior to field sports, it can be a nice day but games can still be cancelled on account of mud. The only two exceptions that come to mind are rugby and swimming. For the latter it doesn’t really matter if it rains for clear-cut reasons and the former, well, they’re rugby players. On the other hand, heat and heat indexes are rarely reason for a cancellation, but the heat combined with exertion can be disastrous.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT PGN LISTINGS

‘Farewell Party’ falls flat By Gary M. Kramer PGN Contributor Humor is often used to get a serious point across. Tal Granit and Sharon Maymon, the writers/directors of the Israeli import “The Farewell Party,” opening June 19 at Ritz Theaters, use comedy to address the moral issues of euthanasia. While some viewers may happily swallow the cupful of honey needed to make this cloying film palatable, others may not. The trouble with “The Farewell Party” is not the filmmakers’ salient points about terminally ill characters wanting to die with dignity, it is the obvious manner in which the topics are presented. The cardboard characters representing God-like hubris and voices of reason, as well as the depiction of members of the elderly and gay community, do the topic no favors. In an assisted-living facility in Jerusalem,

Yana’s (Aliza Rozen) husband, Max (Shmuel Wolf), is terminally ill. Max asks his friend, Yehezkel (Ze’ev Revah), to help him die, and they seek assistance from Dr. Daniel (Ilan Dar), a veterinarian who has access to drugs that can help Max peacefully slip away. Yehezkel, a tinkerer, creates a mercy-killing machine to inject the lethal drugs into Max’s system, and Raffi Segal (Rafael Tabor), a friend of Dr. Daniel, plans to help destroy the evidence. However, Yehezkel’s wife, Levana (Levana Finkelshtein), objects to the plan, accusing everyone of murder. The euthanasia plot that binds these characters together — they are in high demand after Max dies using Yehezkel’s device — soon reveals various characters’ secrets. Yehezkel, who loves his wife, Levana, covers up for her dementia. He excuses her forgetfulness with recipes, or her burning things in the oven. Dr. Daniel, it is discovered, is sleeping with the married Raffi on the down-low. This comes to light after Raffi is discovered naked and hiding in Dr. Daniel’s closet in the film’s clunkiest metaphor. This revelation is followed by a joke in which the elderly Dr. Daniel requests that his friends don’t discuss or disclose his homosexuality. He explains, “My mother doesn’t know.” Mostly, “The Farewell Party” tries too hard to shove its messages down viewers’ throats, like a doctor forcing a patient to swallow a pill. A pair of scenes in which

Yehezkel is pulled over by a cop for speeding, or talking on the phone while driving, are meant to emphasize his illegal activity and generate suspense, but this running joke is heavy-handed and unfunny. Likewise, after Levana arrives naked to dinner one night, Yehezkel and Yana comfort her feelings of shame and embarrassment and her loss of dignity. To make her feel better, the friends all gather together naked in the greenhouse. When they are discovered, a facility administrator reprimands them. This episode is merely a parallel for the voice of authority to address the greater crime of euthanasia, but the seniors are not sufficiently scolded for their lawbreaking. Instead, the moral issues they confront are more appropriately raised when a man needing the gang’s services threatens blackmail if they don’t comply, or one member of the group keeps the money they are offered for their efforts, infuriating the others. Had “The Farewell Party” actually grappled with the ethical quandaries on display, rather than use them as a framework for its mild dark humor, it would have some impact. But the topics are feebly addressed. The only real voice of dissent is Levana’s, and her argument for keeping the terminally ill alive is that a man with one working finger could still write a book. It’s a valid claim, but it is undone when her character visits a depressing nursing home and has a change of heart. The best element in “The Farewell Party” is the way Levana describes “disappearing” as her mind starts to fade, or pleads for loved ones remembering her other than how she appears in a hospital bed. There is a real poignancy as she starts to lose touch with things and confronts her own mortality. Unfortunately, the filmmakers gild the lily and show her decline with various scenes of her using salt instead of sugar in cookies she is baking, or eating out of a trashcan. Her dementia is also exploited to jerk tears and restates its case in favor of euthanasia. For all its flaws, Levana Finkelshtein does give a commendable performance as the film’s pivotal character. She expresses such emotion that even when her face is vacantly staring off in the distance, Finkelshtein is moving. Granit and Moymon have made a crowd-pleasing film, but they should have made a more thoughtful, funny or impassioned one. The treatment of seniors and gay people is so superficial it’s insulting. Halfway through “The Farewell Party,” the characters perform a song about life, death and “Neverland.” This sequence will certainly charm some viewers, no matter their position on euthanasia. However, audience members annoyed by the antics of the characters will feel they have suffered enough. This film is so insipid, it may raise ire rather than spirits. n

PORTRAIT from page 27

PGN: When does it take place? DR: The second Saturday of every month. PGN: Are there many places to play? I seem to remember The Bike Stop having a dungeon. DR: Yes, The Pit. People still play there. The Bike Stop has long been the home for leather and BDSM in the city. It’s the oldest leather bar in the country and they have been really supportive of our community. Philadelphia makes it hard for permanent places because of L&I restrictions and vice laws. PGN: Are you from Philly? DR: Yes, I grew up right outside of West Philadelphia and have been in the city proper since I was 18. We’re Irish Catholic so I am one of five siblings, right in the middle. My dad has a few more kids than my mom and I have a large extended family, including a few cousins who are queer. My cousin Katie works at William Way. PGN: And so coming out was … DR: Not hard at all. They’re very progressive. When I told them at 16 that I was queer, they were very cool and accepting. They never made me feel “other” or unwelcome. PGN: And as kinkmeister? DR: [Laughs] That was a little harder! My parents and the family are really accepting of who I am. I’ve always been a little different, a little off, never really fit into the mainstream. At 25, when kink became my business, it became necessary to explain where the money was coming

61. Told tales 62. Guitarist Townshend

1. Not straight 2. Get it while you’re being serviced 3. By and large 4. Time for a shower 5. Moby Dick’s lubricant? 6. Possess sexually 7. R.E.M.’s “The ___ Love” 8. Two-toned cake 9. Like a metrosexual 10. K-12 11. New member 12. Hope-Crosby “Road” destination 13. P-town clock setting 21. Lincoln’s four score 22. On top of, in poetry 26. A. Sharon’s home 29. Try to seduce, with liquor, e.g. 30. Buck of “Eating

Raoul” 31. Salon offering 32. “So long!” 33. Type of tool 34. Seeking hotties 35. Type of quarterback 36. Fruity spread 37. Bewitched 38. It hangs from your butt 41. Uey from NNW 42. Essential part of cornholing? 43. S&M reminder 44. Rupert Everett’s hood 45. Son in Jeremy Irons’ “The Borgias” 47. “But of course!” 49. Still in bed 51. Art deco illustrator 52. Type of sci, in college 53. Rub the wrong way 54. Half of a foursome

from, so I told them in small doses! Now I’m 30 and they’re … “proud” might not be the right word, but intrigued by the inventiveness I’ve found doing what I do. PGN: What’s something your folks would say was indicative of your being “different?” DR: I have never not argued a point. I’ve always known who I was and stuck to it. My partner says I’m the most contrary person alive. PGN: What were some of the extra-curricular things you were into at school? DR: In high school I pretty much did nothing except school work. But in college I flourished. I became the president of the Temple University College Democrats and the president of the State Federation of College Democrats. I did that for two years and I was the president of the Temple Feminist Majority as well. PGN: What led you to get involved in politics? DR: When you’re in college as a political-science major, the easiest way to make money is to work on political campaigns. It’s not a lot of money but it beats making coffee at Starbucks. So I learned valuable things like how to calculate Democratic performance index in a district and I got work on Congressional races, then a Senate race and it snowballed from there. I got to work with a lot of great candidates who are still in office. PGN: What nonprofit work do you do? DR: I volunteer at William Way twice a month and I volunteer for WXPN and the Philadelphia Folk Festival. I pretty much volunteer at all the places I used to work!

PGN: You mentioned a partner earlier. How long have you been together? DR: We’ve been together for two years, but that brings me to something else, which is that I’m a poly-identified person. So I have two partners, one male, one female. I’ve been with the other partner for five years.

Americans are so invested in judging and critiquing other people’s sexualities. The more we make strides in the LGBT community, the more we kickstart conversations about what is acceptable. How the way we choose to live our lives is not up for public debate.

PGN: What are the most difficult and most gratifying parts of the relationship? DR: The most difficult part by far, and almost any polyamorous person will say this, is the scheduling. Scheduling is such a pain, but the most gratifying part is knowing that my relationships give me everything that I need. When I was monogamous, I wasn’t getting all that I needed from one relationship. Now, I never feel bored. I’m always challenged and it’s a wonderful experience.

PGN: Did you ever worry about the stigma? DR: You always walk a fine line where they have to know who you are but they don’t need to know everything you do. When I was working political campaigns, it was a concern because you want the focus to stay on your candidate, you never want to become the story. That’s when I began working at WXPN, an alternative radio station. They knew I was poly and had multiple partners, though it’s not like I spoke about my sex life at work. I shared as much about my life as anyone else would share but it allowed me to answer questions and put a face to our community. n

PGN: What are the misconceptions that people have? DR: It’s always the same: that we’re sluts and we just want to have lots of sex without forming meaningful relationships. If that’s the case for you, no judgment, but that’s not what poly is about. Poly is ethical non-monogamy. It’s negotiated relationships where all the partners are consenting and know what they want. PGN: That’s an area that seems to be opening up as well. What do you attribute that to? “Sisterwives”? DR: Ha. I think poly is harder to pinpoint why it’s gaining wider acceptance. I’m shocked that my parents have been so cool with it. [Laughs] It’s hard for me to wrap my head around my mother wrapping her head around it! I just think that we as a society are opening up. I think the queer movement has opened up dialogue as to what is acceptable sexuality and opening up why we as
