Court news:

Current and former employees of a local LGBT health and wellness organization voiced frustrations at a community forum last Thursday. The Office of LGBT Affairs and the Commission on LGBT Affairs hosted its second Community Conversation at Broad Street Ministry, focusing specifically on Mazzoni Center. The organization has been in the public eye in the past few months since former medical director Dr. Robert Winn resigned following allegations of sexual impropriety with patients. Days later, more than 60 staff members contended that former CEO Nurit Shein covered up these allega-

tions and staged a walkout demanding her resignation. Mazzoni Center issued a statement that Shein stepped down soon after. ‘We are Mazzoni Center and we are united’

About 15 Mazzoni staff members presented a poster stating “We are Mazzoni Center and we are united,” bearing at least 70 signatures. The employees said they are partnering with SEIU Healthcare PA to form a union “to collectively bargain a contract that is equitable and prioritizes desperately needed reforms that will enable us to provide the highest quality care for our patients and clients.” The union is “respectfully” requesting that the board of directors recognize the union and prepare to negotiate a contract “in good faith.” Following the presentation, interim CEO Stephen Glassman publicly said he “will absolutely consider that process.” Brett Volkman, MEMBERS OF THE MAZZONI CENTER STAFF STOOD who is involved IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PRIDE COMMITTEE, with the unionizing WHICH IS COMBATTING RACIAL DISPARITIES efforts, spoke with AT THE ORGANIZATION, DURING THE AUG. 10 PGN about what COMMUNITY CONVERSATION.

LGBT community reacts to violence in Virginia By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com LGBT individuals and groups held and attended vigils and rallied last weekend after a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., ended in violent riots, three deaths and dozens injured. Early Saturday, hundreds of demonstrators —including alt-right members and white supremacists — protested the city’s plan to remove a statue memorializing Civil War confederate Robert E. Lee. That afternoon, a car drove into a group of counter-protesters, killing 32-year-old Heather A CHARLOTTESVILLE VIGIL AUG. 13 AT THOMAS PAINE PLAZA D. Heyer.

LGBT-friendly youth home gets green light By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com After weeks of potential roadblocks, planning is again moving forward for an LGBT-friendly youth-housing facility. At a bankruptcy hearing last week, North Philadelphia Health System selected Ironstone Real Estate Partners’ $8-million bid for its defunct Girard

Medical Center and adjoining properties. As part of the deal, Project HOME will pay $1.75 million to purchase two parcels — one for an LGBT-friendly youth residence and the second for a future residence for adults and youth. Ironstone’s bid wasn’t the highest — another company offered $10 million — but the winning offer came with no conditions on the sale.

Project HOME had been slated to break ground on the first building earlier this year but NPHS declared bankruptcy at the end of 2016, casting doubt on the project’s future. A judge earlier this summer exempted NPHS from its sale agreement with Project HOME and allowed the matter to proceed to the bankruptcy hearing. At the time, Project HOME told PGN it had already

invested $700,000 on environmental consultants, engineers, architects and attorneys relating to the project. The LGBT-friendly housing will feature 30 units for young adults at 1315 N. Eighth St. The project has a price tag of about $13 million, and Project HOME has lined up millions in city and state grants, tax credits and bond financing. n

In settlement, PA district to update policies, pay students By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com A Central Pennsylvania school district has agreed to pay nearly $150,000 to three transgender students and their attorneys who challenged their school’s policy on restroom use by trans students. The Pine-Richland School District, north of Pittsburgh, agreed last month to overturn its policy that barred trans students from using the facilities that corresponded to their gender identity. It will also add explicit LGBT protections in its nondiscrimination regulations. The district operated under a trans-inclusive policy until last year, when it adopted a sex-segregated approach, prompting a lawsuit from trans students Juliet Evancho, Elissa Ridenour and a 17-year-old student identified in court filings as A.S. All three have since graduated. ”No one should have to go through what we went through and I’m so happy that transgender students at Pine-Richland High will no longer be discriminated against,” Ridenour said in a statement. “All of us had been using the restrooms that match who we are with no problems until some parents

and outside groups complained. But, I’m glad the school district finally did the right thing.” Earlier this year, a federal judge found that the students had a “reasonable likelihood of success” on their equal-protection claim, granting an injunction that allowed them to use the restroom in accordance with their gender identity as the case proceeded. Both sides agreed to settle the case July 17, after the school board voted 6-2 in favor of the proposal. In addition to the policy changes, the district will pay the three students $20,000 each, as well as cover $75,000 worth of attorneys’ fees for the plaintiffs. The costs will be handled by the district’s insurance carrier. The case was closely watched on a national level, especially after the Trump administration rescinded protections for trans students. “This is a victory for transgender students everywhere and sends a clear warning to school districts with anti-transgender bathroom policies,” said Lambda Legal staff attorney Omar Gonzalez-Pagan in a statement. n

Woman remains jailed after alleged murder of wife By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com The New Jersey woman accused of shooting her wife to death was ordered last week to be held in jail until her trial. Laura Bluestein is accused of the Aug. 6 killing of Felicia Dormans. At a detention hearing last Thursday, Superior Court Judge Jeanne Covert signed off on an agreement between prosecutors and Bluestein’s public defender that the defendant remain in jail. “My client is in agreement that it is in her best interest to remain detained,” defense attorney Jared Dorfman told NJ Advance Media. She is being held at Burlington County Jail, facing first-degree murder, weapons and evidence-tampering charges. A trial date has not yet been set. On Aug. 6, a relative of Bluestein alerted police LAURA BLUESTEIN to a possible assault at the women’s Mount Holly residence, which they recently purchased from Bluestein’s parents. When police arrived at the home, they found Dorman shot in the face; she was pronounced dead at the scene. A spokesperson for the Burlington County Prosecutor Office’s last week could not comment on whether Bluestein confessed, or what investigators believe prompted the shooting. Dormans’ mother told NJ Advance Media that her daughter had contacted her the day of the shooting to say she and Bluestein had gotten into an argument over food that was left out that attracted ants. According to the interview, Dormans said Bluestein wanted her to spend the night in a hotel, and they were considering separating, though she later called her mother to say she wanted to make the relationship work. The couple married July 2016 in the Pocono Mountains. A funeral was held for Dormans Aug. 14. n

Dispute between ex-partners reaches federal court By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com A Mississippi woman recently filed suit against her former domestic partner in Philadelphia, claiming the defendant owes her about $330,000. The women lived together in Philadelphia between August 2010-June 2015. The plaintiff subsequently relocated to Mississippi, but the defendant continues to live in Philadelphia. The women also were business partners and embarked on real-estate ventures involving properties in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, according to court records. The litigants expressed a desire for privacy; PGN is withholding their names. The plaintiff alleges the defendant owes her $128,178.87 from the sale of their prior residence — which is 50 percent of the sale’s proceeds — even though the plaintiff’s name wasn’t on the title to the property. According to the suit, “[The joint property] was titled in defendant’s sole name because defendant was not publicly out as a lesbian and did not want a record of joint property ownership with plaintiff.”

er m m Su de-Up Tra vent E

The remainder of the disputed funds relate to other jointly owned property, unreimbursed services and contributions by the plaintiff and alleged misuse of a joint bank account by the defendant. The plaintiff’s suit contains 11 counts against the defendant involving breach of contract, conversion, unjust enrichment and promissory estoppel. “Plaintiff has made numerous demands to defendant and defendant has made promises to plaintiff that she has not abided by, including inducing plaintiff to travel to Philadelphia in December 2016 to attempt to resolve the financial dispute wherein it was not resolved,” the suit states. A recent defense filing seeks the dismissal of several counts — citing insufficient contractual evidence, lack of jurisdiction, lack of timeliness, redundancy, inadequate documentation and other reasons. The dispute remains pending before U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone. A pretrial conference has been set for 10 a.m. Sept. 1 at the U.S. Court House in Center City. Neither side had a comment for this story. n

NJ org. provides support in a ‘snap’ for LGBTs with disabilities By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com During a New Jersey organization’s annual amusement-park trip, one member was nervous because of a secret he was keeping. Ray Truitt is a member of The Arc Mercer, a grassroots organization that provides opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities. Truitt was having a conversation with Steven Cook, the organization’s executive director, and came out to him as gay. “We’re very close friends and I wanted to tell him something, and it was hard for me to come out to him because I didn’t know how he was going to react,” Truitt said. In a statement, Cook noted that it was hard for Truitt to come out “doubly, as someone with” a dual diagnosis of a mental health and intellectual-developmental disability. “There was no real place for him to turn,” Cook said. “It was an ‘aha’ moment for me, an epiphany. I remembered how hard it was for me to tell my parents I was gay years ago. The need for a support organization for LGBTQ people with special needs crystallized in that moment.”

From this conversation, The Arc Mercer gave birth to SNAP (Special Needs Alliance for Pride), a group for LGBT people with special needs. The organization introduced SNAP in June with a social event at the Trenton Social Club, where the group continues to meet monthly. “SNAP strives for integration,” said Communications Manager Daniel Meara. “We want to help special-needs people integrate with the larger LGBTQ community [and] we want to make it known that we have come up with this model.” Meara added that organizers believe SNAP is the first organization in the country to work against the isolation of LGBT people with special needs. Additionally, at its social event next week, the group will officially launch its plan for counseling services. He also said the organization is looking into other potential programming. This includes developing training programs, gay-straight alliances focusing on similar issues and providing

assistance to LGBT couples who adopt special-needs children. The club is also seeking mentors and volunteers to participate in events and provide support for individual members. Interested participants can email SNAPClub@arcmercer.org. “I’m hoping [SNAP] will bring more people like us with disabilities and also open the door to other LGBT people who are afraid to come out,” Truitt said. “My life is great,” Truitt said about his involvement in SNAP. “I’m happier than I’ve ever been.” n SNAP will hold its next event 5:30-7:30 p.m. Aug. 24 at Trenton Social Club, 449 S. Broad St., Trenton, N.J. For more information, visit arcmercer.org/specialneeds-alliance-pride-snap/.

Hershey seeks protective order in court case By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Attorneys for Milton Hershey School asked a federal judge to protect from public disclosure legal documents in an antibias case filed by a gay man. The school’s July 28 request for a protective order is pending before U.S. District Judge Christopher C. Conner. A description of the documents the school wants protected hasn’t been disclosed. Funded by the late chocolate magnate Milton S. Hershey, the school serves 2,000 underprivileged youth from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade. Students live on campus in cottages with assigned house parents. Former Hershey student Adam Dobson filed suit last year against the school, claiming a house parent pressured him to view an antigay video. Dobson, 22, was enrolled in the school for several years prior to his expulsion in 2013. He’s requesting an unspecified amount in damages and remedial measures at the school. Dobson alleges that school officials discriminated against him because of his depression — a condition that was exacerbated due to pressure from a house parent to change his sexual orientation.

Another former student, Marcous Marchese, recently spoke out publicly about allegedly being pressured into watching an antigay video by two Hershey house parents in 2010. Lisa Scullin, a spokesperson for the school, issued this statement: “The motion [for a protective order] is currently before the court and will follow its due course. As such, we can’t provide additional detail at this time. But we anticipate a ruling in the near term. I do want to take this opportunity to reiterate that gay conversion therapy, while not relevant to this case, is something which Milton Hershey School would never condone or support.” The case is in the discovery phase. A jury trial tentatively is set for 9:30 a.m. April 2 at the Ronald Reagan Court House, 228 Walnut St. in Harrisburg, with Conner presiding. Justin F. Robinette, a local civil-rights attorney, said protective orders are rare in antibias cases. “Sometimes one side feels prejudiced due to pretrial publicity, and convinces a judge to issue a protective order,” Robinette said. “But judges usually avoid issuing such orders. Generally speaking, the public has a right to know what’s being litigated — and how taxpayer dollars are being spent in the courts. Transparency is the order of the day.” n

led the union to form. “We have seen deep-rooted problems at Mazzoni Center that disgust us,” Volkman said. “That’s why we were so vocal about asking for Nurit Shein to resign. That’s why we were so vocal in pushing for Rob Winn to be pushed out. That’s why we are so vocal for the board to be reformed so it reflects the community. We are a staff that is part of the community. Management and the board don’t reflect the community and that’s unacceptable. We hope through this process that we will ensure that there are changes that need to happen. We are deeply committed to working with the community to make sure that happens.” In addition to the unionization efforts, members of a self-made committee within Mazzoni spoke of a “need to change the historical, systemic exploitation of and the disproportionately negative impact that organizational policies and practices have had” on people of color, trans people, gender-nonconforming people and front-line staff, said Ashley Coleman. Waliyyah Muhsin, Sonrisa Rodriguez, Iveliz Crespo and Coleman represented the organization, which formed five months ago. At least 20 Mazzoni staffers stood in solidarity with them during the presentation. Coleman, who serves as Mazzoni’s general conference coordinator for the Trans Health Conference, and other staff members formed PRIDE — Professionals for Respect, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity. During the presentation, she noted that the group will present a plan to the board and upper-management concerning inclusion of front-line staff on hiring committees for management positions. Additionally, they will call for a director-of-equity position. “This is the direct response to a critical lack of equitable representation of POC, trans and GNC individuals in management, director, executive and board positions,” Coleman said. Members of the committee received letters from staff members on their experiences

and read them out loud, protecting their identities. “The director of my former department, for example, has repeatedly been reported to HR for tokenizing staff, making inappropriate comments to and about staff of color, lying, disrespecting and retaliation against employees and overall for being incompetent at his job,” one letter read. Kimberley Brown-Flint, a member of the Commission on LGBT Affairs, also received a letter from a former Mazzoni employee identified as “John.” In the letter, John contended that he began an organizational-needs assessment and his efforts “ended abruptly” as he was investigating a doctor’s alleged sexual assault of patients. “It appears that upper management understood the truths that my organizational-needs assessment would unveil and actively found ways to terminate my capacity to investigate that,” the letter read.

Moving forward Glassman and members of the board frequently apologized for employees’ experiences during the event and emphasized that they would try to be transparent and make sure the community is involved with organizational processes, including the selection of the permanent CEO. Glassman, who is expected to serve in the interim position for up to nine months, told PGN the conversation was “very helpful, productive and successful.” “I think this was an appropriate forum to be able to discuss critical issues to the community about the Mazzoni Center and I’m grateful that we had an opportunity to participate,” he said. Coleman also spoke with PGN after the event and said Mazzoni employees are “cautiously optimistic moving forward.” “We’ve heard a lot of promises and we are hoping that the current promises that are being given to us come to fruition,” she said. n

Trans program changes name, logo to reflect evolving efforts By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com A local peer-based support group for trans individuals will go by a different name to reflect its more recent efforts. The Trans-Health Information Project (TIP), a program of GALAEI, changed its name to the Trans Equity Project and unveiled a new logo Wednesday. “As trans people, we know how important name changes can be,” said Christian A’xavier Lovehall, the group’s co-coordinator. “They help define us.” Lovehall noted how the group, which he leads with Milan Sherry, has evolved over time. “Starting off, TIP was very health-focused, specifically around HIV prevention because that is a very important issue in the trans community,” Lovehall said. “We have really evolved moreso into an activism platform, more social-justice-oriented.” In 2003, GALAEI and Prevention Point Philadelphia collaborated with local transgender leaders Ben Singer and Marcus Iannozzi to create TIP. Initially, the group addressed unsafe silicone and hormone injection use by transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals. After being awarded a demonstration-project grant from the Centers for Disease Control in 2006, TIP began offering HIV counseling and testing. The group also expanded to include advocacy efforts such as the

Philly Trans* March. The Trans* March is entering its seventh year and will be held 3-6 p.m. Oct. 7 at a to-be-determined location. “The social justice and the health [needs] — that’s work that [the group has] been doing for the past couple of years, but we wanted to name it and it’s also a way to hold the organization accountable, saying, ‘This is the type of work we’re doing. We’re going to put it in our name to be intentional about that,’” Lovehall said. TRANScend: Equality vs. Equity, a panel discussion at GALAEI’s offices Wednesday, served as a springboard for unveiling the Trans Equity Project name and logo. TIP founding members June Bailey and Sheila-Colson Pope were among the participants who discussed the difference between “equality” and “equity.” “‘Equality’ is when everybody has the same thing but ‘equity’ takes a look at specific situations, different disparities, how different populations are at risk,” Lovehall said. “You might have to dig a little deeper and create special circumstances so certain people can have access to what it is that they need.” Lovehall added that since the Trans Equity Project is led directly by trans people, the group understands “the needs and desires” of the community and plans to continue with this leadership. “We have deeper knowledge of what the trans and gender-nonconforming community needs,” he said. “We’re not just looking at it as all ‘LGBTQ people.’ We realize trans people experience specific issues and unique struggles. So keeping that in mind, we are able to provide resources based upon that.” Lovehall said the Trans Equity Project will continue the work it has done prior to the name change but also intends to be more visible on the front lines of social-justice movements. “I would love to see it have more of a national influence and also to be a lead example for programs and organizations in the city on how to provide services the right way,” Lovehall said. n

Judge weighs anonymity for gay litigant By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com A federal judge last week said he needs more information before deciding whether to allow a gay man to litigate an antibias case anonymously. In a three-page order, U.S. District Judge Thomas N. O’Neill Jr. said he’s uncertain whether “Frank Doe” may proceed under that pseudonym. For about 16 months, Doe worked as an activities director at Meadowview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Whitemarsh before being fired in September for allegedly sleeping during a staff meeting, which he denies doing. Instead, he contends he was fired due to anti-LGBT bias on the part of Meadowview’s top administrator. Doe’s firing sidetracked his career and educational goals, according to his suit. He’s seeking an unspecified amount in damages and corrective measures at Meadowview. Doe’s lawsuit, filed in May, alleges wrongful

termination, a hostile work environment and retaliation at Meadowview due to his sex and sexual orientation. Meadowview tried to have Doe’s suit dismissed as meritless. But on Aug. 7, O’Neill said most of Doe’s suit can move forward. However, O’Neill also instructed both sides to submit information before he decides whether Doe may continue to litigate anonymously. In his order, O’Neill indicated that a prior case cited by Doe to support his anonymity request may not be sufficient. “[Doe] identifies just one case in which a court permitted a plaintiff to proceed anonymously in order to prevent the public from believing he was gay,” O’Neill wrote. “The motion in that case was decided nearly 30 years ago, at the height of the AIDS epidemic. It did not create a rule that any plaintiff can proceed anonymously simply because his claims require him to assert that he is gay.” O’Neill gave Doe’s attorney, PAGE 14

Creep of the Week

Editorial

Rizzo must go The horrifying violence in Charlottesville, Va., has had significant reverberations throughout the country in the past few days. Shocking images of neo-Nazis marching with swastika armbands and giving Hitler salutes have jarred many Americans into beginning to glimpse the reality of the rampant racism plaguing our country. The murder of a protester and the deaths of two police officers have highlighted just how quickly organized hate masquerading as “free speech” can turn fatal. And conversations are being held — and in some cases bypassed by activists — about dismantling monuments to some of the darkest foundations upon which our country was built. Protesters in Durham, N.C., toppled a Civil War statue, and countless officials in cities across the country are finally beginning to address the presence of such monuments on their streets. Here in Philadelphia, a statue of Mayor Frank Rizzo has long drawn the ire of progressives. After several years as the commissioner of the Philadelphia Police Department, Rizzo helmed the city in the 1970s, and has come to be remembered as one of Philadelphia’s most controversial and polarizing government officials. To some, Rizzo’s stance on crime and safety was “tough” — yet his was the same style that has enabled Donald Trump to denigrate millions of Americans and immigrants in the name of “law and order.” Rizzo’s relationship with people of color was fraught to say the least — among his many problematic moves, he led a strip-search raid of the Black Panthers, reportedly used racist language and oversaw the handling of a 1978 incident involving MOVE that many said was racially inflammatory. His relationship with LGBTs wasn’t much better. Rizzo frequently dropped antiLGBT epithets and during his time with the police department, personally led raids on LGBT clubs. Many consider his leadership in Philadelphia to be among the darkest points in the city’s recent history — yet Rizzo is honored with a 10-foot statue in his likeness across from City Hall. In the wake of Charlottesville, there has been a renewed call for the statue’s removal, an effort that has been ongoing for years. Those arguing against the removal of statues like Rizzo’s often decry such movements as trying to revise history. There’s a very big difference between recognizing and accepting history and celebrating it. There are countless moments, people and places in Philadelphia history that should be celebrated. Frank Rizzo is not among them. The Rizzo statue must go. n

Walk a mile When one looks at the many arguments made against transgender people and their rights, you start to see patterns emerge. For example, bathroom-rights debates always conveniently forget that sexual assault remains illegal in restrooms, and assume that a trans person’s genitals would be on full display to all who enter, or that transgender is “too new” and there’s simply not enough research on something that has, quite frankly, existed throughout human history. There are a few I’ve seen come up time and again, however, through many such discussions, and I feel it is time to deconstruct them. It goes a bit like this:

“Transgender people should not be allowed access to appropriate gender restrooms because then a guy might enter just by saying he is transgender that day,” or “We can’t give kids transgender-related treatment because they’re too young to know what that means.” At the heart of these discussions is the notion that transgender people one day just declare themselves to have a gender orientation different from what they may have been assigned at birth, and everyone is forced to accept such no matter what, lest they be seen as intolerant. This isn’t at all the case. While not all transgender people have

the same background, I think it is fair to say that we do not come to the decision to live outwardly in our preferred gender easily. The majority of us may have lived decades of our lives in a gender identity that was assigned to us at birth, and this may have caused all sorts of agony. Further, a transgender person in this society is going to have to put a lot on the line to transition, potentially losing friends and loved ones, employment, housing and their physical well-being in their quest to feel one with their body. This is, in no way, a simple lark one might do one day. For myself, I knew something about me was different from around age 3. I can

remember reciting my nightly prayers, back before there were even two digits in my age, always including a wish that I would wake up the next morning as a girl. These feelings persisted for years, then decades, before I felt confident enough to act on them. My gender identity is a core part of who I am and is, I would say, pretty foundational in how I see myself and how I feel comfortable in society. In doing so, I faced and face harassment, discrimination, ostracizing from family and others and much more. I also know that I face a greater chance of being harmed or killed for being transgender, face a higher rate of PAGE 14 suicide and encounter

Media Trail Houston sued over possible denial of gay spousal benefits ABC News reports three city employees and their spouses who are concerned Houston would be forced to stop paying benefits to same-sex spouses due to an ongoing civil case have filed a lawsuit asking for a court order to stop any such action. The new lawsuit, filed Aug. 10 in Houston federal court, comes after the state Supreme Court in June overturned a lower court’s decision favoring samesex-marriage benefits and ordered the case back to a civil court in Houston. After the June decision, the conservative activists who had initially sued Houston filed a motion seeking an injunction that would block the city from paying same-sex spousal benefits to its municipal employees while the case goes to trial. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner has previously said the city wouldn’t stop providing such benefits.

Kentucky man, trans wife sue Amazon for workplace bias According to WEKU, a Kentucky man and his transgender wife are suing Amazon, alleging discrimination and harassment during a year as coworkers at an Amazon warehouse. A lawyer working with the couple said the case is notable in part because Amazon, one of the largest corporations in the nation, has a record of strongly supporting gay and transgender rights. The lawsuit, filed Aug. 9 in U.S. District Court in Covington, Ky., alleges that Dane Lane and Allegra SchaweLane were targeted with threats, slurs and sexual harassment by numerous colleagues at their shipping facility. Complaints to superiors led to retaliation in some cases, rather than any effective steps to halt the abuse, the couple contends. There was no immediate comment from Amazon.

Trump sued for anti-trans military ban The New York Times reports two LGBT-rights organizations have filed

a lawsuit in federal court challenging President Donald Trump’s tweets declaring he wants a ban on transgender people serving in the military. The suit was filed Aug. 9 in U.S. District Court in Washington on behalf of five transgender service members with nearly 60 years of combined military service. They are unidentified but serve in the Air Force, the Coast Guard and the Army. Transgender people have been allowed to serve openly in the military since June 2016. Trump, in a series of tweets on July 26, announced that he planned to end that policy. The lawsuit, filed by GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, such a ban is unconstitutional as it denies transgender service members equal protection and due process.

Former jail supervisor files discrimination complaint According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the former head of an Ohio county jail has filed a federal complaint saying she was terminated because she’s a woman and is gay. Charmaine McGuffey said in a federal Equal Employment Opportunities Commission complaint filed recently that she was discriminated against, experienced retaliation and was ultimately terminated as head of the Hamilton County Jail in Cincinnati because of her gender and sexual orientation. McGuffey quit in May when she was told she would be demoted after running the jail for four years. She wants her job back and reimbursement for lost wages and benefits.

Russian translation censors author’s gay storyline A Russian publisher is under fire for censoring a gay storyline in a popular fantasy novel series without permission from the U.S.-based author. Victoria Schwab is the author of the “Shades of Magic” series, which features a number of LGBT characters, including a bisexual prince who has a same-sex romance. The bestselling books were translated into Russian by Russia-based publisher Rosmen, which doctored the story to omit the gay relationship. Schwab tweeted: “This week I learned that [Rosmen] redacted the entire queer plot w/out permission. They chose to illegally edit and redact [it]. I was absolutely horrified. Wouldn’t have known if not for a Russian reader who read both editions. Publisher in total breach of contract. I’m positively devastated.”

International Challenge filed to Australian gay-marriage ballot Gay-rights advocates have lodged a High Court challenge to the government’s unusual plan to canvass Australians’ opinion on gay marriage next month, while a retired judge says he will boycott the survey. Australians are to vote on gay marriage through a non-binding ballot by mail before the conservative government would consider legislating the issue. Lawyers lodged an application for a court injunction on Aug. 10 that would prevent the so-called postal plebiscite from going ahead. Retired High Court judge Michael Kirby is a gay man who supports marriage equality. He dismissed the ballot as “irregular and unscientific polling.” Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the government had legal advice that the postal ballot would withstand legal challenge.

Haiti may ban gay marriage, public support for LGBT rights An LGBT-rights group in Haiti said Aug. 7 it is fighting to head off a proposed law that would ban same-sex marriage as well as any public demonstrations in favor of LGBT people in the Caribbean country. A bill passed by the Haitian Senate recently provides for up to three years in prison and a fine of about $8,000 for either party to a marriage not between a man and a woman. The bill also would prohibit any public support or advocacy for LGBT rights. Haitian law already specifically defines marriage as between a man and a woman. Charlot Jeudy of LGBT-rights organization Kouraj said the legislation would violate Haiti’s constitution and his group will try to persuade members of the Chamber of Deputies to reject it.

She added: “As a reader: I’m frustrated. As an LGBTQ+ human: I’m hurt. As an author: I’m indignant.” Schwab said she would give [Rosmen] the opportunity to correct the work. According to the Moscow Times, the Russian publisher, which is not con-

“We have the right to protest and we have the right to be who we are and we have the right to be free,” Jeudy said. He added his group has been collecting signatures on a petition that it hopes to present to sympathetic lawmakers in the chamber. A vote has not yet been scheduled. LGBT people have long faced discrimination in Haiti. In September, a cultural festival celebrating the community in Port-au-Prince was canceled after organizers received threats and a local government official said he would prohibit the event he said violates the country’s moral values.

Kuwait deports 76 men in antigay crackdown Kuwait has deported 76 gays and shut down 22 massage parlors this year, the head of a morals committee has said. The gay men were apprehended during nationwide campaigns aimed at enforcing the law regulating massage parlors, said government representative Mohammad Al Dhufairi. The committee, made up of representatives from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Interior and Kuwait Municipality, pledged to forge ahead with their crackdown. During the raids, the committee members found and seized sex toys, women’s underwear and makeup used by the men. “We have a zero-tolerance policy towards any morally objectionable activities and we will not be lenient with anyone who breaks the rules or puts the health of Kuwaiti citizens and residents at risk,” Al Dhufairi said. Rashid Al Azimi, a staff member at Kuwait University, said he fully supported the committee’s action and called for the closure of both male and female parlors found to be breaking the law. “We live in a conservative country and, therefore, we should uphold specific morals,” he said. Homosexuality and cross-dressing are against the law in Kuwait and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries — Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. In Kuwait, convicted homosexuals could face up to 10 years in prison, if the engaged parties are under the age of 21. n — compiled by Larry Nichols nected to the author’s U.S. publisher Tor Books, admitted it had made the changes.

Justin F. Robinette, until Aug. 28 to file a supplemental brief in support of Doe’s request for anonymity. The judge also said Meadowview may file a response to Robinette’s brief by Sept. 11. Attorneys for Meadowview declined to comment for this story. Robinette said Doe has a reasonable basis to request anonymity. “My client’s concerns about social stigma, violence and discrimination aren’t unreasonable,” Robinette said. “All one has to do is pick up a newspaper or turn on a television to see that LGBT people are frequent targets by homophobes. I intend to advocate robustly on behalf of Mr. Doe. I’ll be submitting a supplemental brief and an exhaustive affidavit, demonstrating the challenges LGBT people still face, especially in the Trump era. LGBT litigants don’t shed their privacy rights when filing suit.” Robinette also expressed concern that O’Neill isn’t handling Doe’s retaliation and sexual-orientation claims against Meadowview in a fair manner. He said O’Neill appears to be relying too heavily on a 2001 anti-LGBT appeals-court ruling, rather than recent rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court favoring the rights of LGBT people.

all sorts of issues in a world hostile to people like me. Nevertheless, I transitioned. I think this assumption that trans identities are so simply made is an error based out of one’s own viewpoints. If you cannot imagine what it would be like to have to live in a gender incongruous with your own sense of self, then the idea of transition may be reduced to notions you can imagine. It becomes akin to a Halloween costume, or some other disguise covering up “reality,” rather than being a way to reveal whom one really is. It is perhaps an imperfect thought experiment, but I want you — presuming you, dear reader, are not transgender — to think about the following: Consider your feelings towards your own gender, consider how core that is to the person you are both to yourself and to those you interact with every day. Now, imagine if, for as long as you have been in existence, you were told this is wrong. Maybe not overtly, but perhaps you were dressed and treated as the opposite gender since birth. Your parents bought you jeans and Ts and gave you a room festooned with Superman and ninjas, or they gave you princesses and dresses and showed off their darling daughter to all their friends. Imagine going through school being treated as a gender different from yours, segregated into activities and rooms where you simply knew, at some core level, you did not belong. What’s more, consider that your body, a body you knew deep down was one gender,

“I can’t help but feel that Mr. Doe is being treated as a second-class citizen by the court,” Robinette added. “This judge thinks that sexual-orientation discrimination isn’t protected under the law as sex discrimination, and that an employee can never be retaliated against for a complaint of sexual-orientation discrimination because such discrimination wouldn’t be illegal. My client feels like a second-class citizen. Our arguments about why all antigay bias is sex bias were not addressed, as if we aren’t even being heard.” Doe contends a top administrator at Meadowview continuously referred to him as “Frances” during an eight-month period, despite Doe’s protestations. Shortly before Doe was fired, the administrator alleged taunted Doe by repeatedly misgendering him during a holiday staff barbecue, according to the suit. Doe didn’t receive any warnings or a reprimand prior to his firing, which is a deviation from standard office protocol at Meadowview, according to the suit. The corrective measures Doe is seeking at Meadowview include creating and disseminating an LGBT-inclusive antibias policy; conducting LGBT-inclusive anti-harassment training; and removing from Doe’s personnel file all statements that he allegedly slept on the job. n displayed all the signs of another. Imagine what a nightmare puberty would be in such a body, when your very flesh betrays you. Then consider if you find yourself brave enough to say that all this was wrong — all this wasn’t you at all — and think about how those around you would react to this declaration. Again, this isn’t an ironclad comparison, nor does it take into account a lot of the ways one can choose to express their gender, but it is a starting point to understanding what a large number of transgender people face. When you begin to see just a bit of what it is like to be us, arguments that reduce transness to some sort of mischievous escapade fall apart. The notion of someone declaring themselves transgender in order to gain access to a bathroom is ludicrous when you consider the work an actual transgender person has done before they ever touch a restroom door, or, quite frankly, how terrified they may be of ill treatment by doing so. Likewise, this idea that a child would not have enough of a sense of self to understand that something this core to their identity evaporates when one considers how core the gender of any child is to their sense of self awareness and well being. Walk a mile in our shoes, and see what we’re really talking about when we’re forced to debate our transgender existence. n Gwen Smith wears a 12 wide. You’ll find her at www.gwensmith.com.

These conversations have to be had by those with the privilege to meet our attackers where they are. It is a moment for proactive solidarity and true advocacy by allies on behalf of those living in fear of this prevailing vitriol.

Marin, who participated in the vigil at Thomas Paine Plaza and at a rally in Allentown, serves as director of Make the Road Pennsylvania, an advocacy organization for low-income and working-class Latinx immigrants in Berks and Lehigh counties. “I think that right now, when we’re facing a fascist danger, there is no space for neutrality,” Marin said. “To be neutral when there are those who are parading around calling for our mass deaths, calling for genocide, calling for mass oppression, to be neutral is really to give them free ground.” The Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center of Lehigh Valley was among the organizations that hosted Sunday’s rally in Allentown. Adrian Shanker, the organization’s founder and executive director, noted the rise in violence against historically marginalized communities since the presidential election. Trump’s policies, such as the Muslim ban and announced intent to ban transgender people from serving in the military, have contributed to a dangerous rhetoric, he added. “These violent policies that are racist, homophobic and transphobic have certainly contributed to a narrative in this country,” Shanker said. “America has always had issues with white supremacy. The real issue is that the election helped to embolden people.” POWER (Philadelphians Organized to Witness Empower and Rebuild) also hosted a march and rally for Charlottesville Wednesday evening and consulting agency Three to Midnight Think Tank aims to line every block of Broad Street at Philadelphia Stands Against Racism noon-1 p.m. Aug. 19. n

No Parking, Baby Taking sides on South Broad’s median parking

ou would think that prohibiting parking in the middle of South Broad Street from Shunk to Washington Avenue would be a no-brainer. Particularly if there was demonstrable evidence that such parking was a public health risk. Think again. The most heated public policy debate in our town now pits community activists against a group called Fifth Square on opposite sides of this issue. The practice of South Philly residents illegally parking in the middle of Broad Street, with cops and the Parking Authority looking the other way, has been going on for decades. But now, the good-government group is leading the charge to enforce the parking laws that apply to the rest of Broad Street on the residents of South Philly. Fifth Square is a self-de-

scribed “urbanist political action committee … formed in 2014 … to advance a vision for a more accessible, sustainable, equitable Philadelphia for all residents.” That is quite an agenda and South Broad parking is just one reform they are fighting for. The group is also seeking citywide street sweeping, protected bike share, and something called Vision Zero Philadelphia to “re-engineer our streets to reduce vehicle speeds.” Good luck with that one. Of course, no one likes a good-government group more than our friends down at 6th and Market. They devoted a full page opinion piece to the leader of Fifth Square, Jake Liefer, to make the case for taking down South Philly’s “medianites.” According to Liefer “Last year, after illegal parking was enforced during the Democratic National Convention, we launched a petition calling for

… we have compelling arguments on both sides, but where are the facts?

the continued enforcement of this illegal practice. With more than 1,000 signatures from residents, we saw a groundswell of support. However, one year later, the illegal practice still remains. In light of this, last week we filed a lawsuit to call on the city and Parking Authority to perform their mandated duties to end illegal and unsafe parking on South Broad.” The pro-median parking cause is led by South Philadelphian, Joe Ferguson, who defended the median parking practice in a wideranging interview in PhillyVoice: “South Philly is a notoriously difficult place to find parking, especially on and around Broad Street. … many business owners along South Broad Street also believe

median parking is an important resource for the community. His petition, [which produced 850 signatures] co-sponsored by Joe LiTrenta of Philadelphia Block by Block and Nicholas DiDonato Sr. of Citizens for a Better Philadelphia, calls for an amendment to the City Traffic Code with regulations that will ensure the safety of median parking.” So, we have compelling arguments on both sides, but where are the facts? Show us traffic accidents and injuries caused by median parking and we will join the chorus for abolition. The facts, however, are elusive, at best. Liefer says, “We know from crash statistics that the laissez faire approach to traffic safety

is not working. The statistics paint a grim picture of the fatalities that have occurred along South Broad, where a blind eye has been turned to enforcement. PennDOT crash data from 2008-2016 reveals that every single pedestrian death on South Broad occurred south of Washington Avenue, the stretch where illegally parked cars consume the median’s buffer zones, turning lanes, and crosswalks. From City Hall to Washington Avenue, where enforcement occurs, there have been zero pedestrian deaths in this same span. This is particularly astounding given the much higher foot traffic and vehicle counts in Center City compared with South Philly.” Continued on page 2 Aug. 13-20, 2017

No Parking, Baby Continued from page 1 Wow that’s a slam dunk argument! The problem is, we looked through the PennDOT annual reports and can find no data to support this claim. Neither could Joe Ferguson. Nor could city officials. Ferguson told PhillyVoice: “The claims set forth by 5th Square are that there’s fatalities and accidents in relation to median parking. … The city has told them that

there are no records that they can find directly relating an accident to median parking. Those claims coming from 5th Square are exaggerated.” So it’s time for 5th Square to pony up the data or stand down. Until they do, the tradition of parking on South Broad’s median in South Philly should be upheld.

Tim Perry and Nate Blackwell Reminisce Continued from page 12 more chicken wings anymore. The doctors told me my blood pressure was too high.” Said Perry, “We used to joke and call him Nate Snackwell. But we’re just glad he’s healthy.” Both Blackwell and Perry credit Chaney for molding them into the men they have become. “We learned discipline from Chaney,” said Perry. “Our lives were structured and basketball was a structured activity. Coach taught me and all my teammates how to slow down and think things through. It’s a very hard thing for a young person to understand. But we just wanted to make coach proud. The fact that we were successful, won a lot of games, made a good example for future players, helped with the rebirth of the program and made it to the NBA is a testament to him.” Added Blackwell. “I personally would have loved to play in the NBA longer. But my only real regret is that we didn’t get Coach to the Final Four.” Blackwell beamed with pride when a camper asked if he was proud to be thought of as a

prominent figure in Temple lore. “Yes, I am extremely proud of that,” Blackwell said. “I think if you think about Temple basketball you have to think about either me or Tim. If you want to talk about big men, you have to mention Tim Perry. If you want to talk about guards, I would be flattered to be mentioned. I think both me and Timmy would agree that our Temple days were special times that we’ll never forget.” Added Perry, “I loved my time at Temple; the coaches, players, students, fans. We were winning and we had a lot of support.” Perry’s only regret. “The Duke game,” he said, referring to Temple’s loss to Duke in the 1988 NCAA East Regional Final. “It was a game that just didn’t go our way. The referees weren’t good that day, but Duke played well and we didn’t. We usually had two or more guys have a good game and get it going. That day it was just me,” he joked. “It was one of two times I cried in my life in basketball. But my life in basketball otherwise was all smiles.”

A Dying Chance Effort urges peace and self-empowerment through fun-filled gathering By Sheila Simmons

erry Starks doesn’t give up easily. In 2002, he survived being shot five times. He later helped build the non-violence outreach program CeaseFire Philadelphia. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave, right after his work with the effort was featured on OWN network’s “Our America with Lisa Ling.” Stark says his lack of post-high school education and a conflict of interest in regards to his other community pursuits were the reasons cited for his ouster. The 40-year-old advocate merely turned his attention elsewhere, forming the Express Urself Urban Crisis Response Center of Philadelphia, which this summer launched the Play For Peace Citywide Basketball Tour. For eight consecutive weekends in August and September, at 16 different playgrounds and recreation centers throughout the city, the tour is bringing a program of: basketball competition; performances by local entertainment acts; a community symposium and a neighborhood cleanup sponsored by Home Depot. Starks says the aim is to get older teens and adults from differing neighborhoods to interact in a fun-filled atmosphere, instead of on street corners battling for pride and territory for the drug trade. Between the games, he provides resources and information on the merits of entrepreneurship and selfempowerment. “We want them to start small businesses in these poverty-stricken communities, so they don’t have to fight,” he says. The tour’s inaugural Sunday outing on August 6th at 8th and Diamond streets drew nearly 200 attendees. “Ain’t nothing stopping this plan,” Starks says of pulling people together under positive circumstances. “God gave it to me, and I’m getting it done.” Citing police statistics, the Citywide Basketball Tour notes that as of July 31, there were 184 homicides in 2017 in Philadelphia – a 14 percent increase

from last year. Of 58 homicides that occurred in 2017, 18 were committed in front of parks or recreation centers, 17 in front of school properties, 15 near churches, five in front of grocery stores, and three in front of libraries, the group says. It also noted that the month of July saw more than 1,113 violent crimes — 19 homicides, 68 rapes, 422 robberies, and 604 assaults. Starks himself was a drug dealer when he was shot in 2002 during a robbery. “He didn’t take my life, he saved my life!” Starks says of his shooter. Now Starks follows a saying uttered during his appearance on “Our America”: “We messed these streets up now we have to fix ‘em.” From 10 a.m. to 12 noon each day, the tour will visit the following locations: Aug. 12, 16th & Susquehanna playground; Aug. 13, Happy Hollow playground; Aug. 19, 1724 S. 15th Street playground; Aug. 20, C & Indiana playground; Aug. 26, Lonnie Young playground; Aug. 27, Simons playground; Sept. 2, Olney Recreation Center; Sept 3, Hartraf Playground; Sept 9, Gurien Recreation Center; Sept. 10, 12th and Cambria playground; Sept, 16, Manor Playground; Sept. 17, Panani Playground; Sept. 23, Vare Recreation Center; Sept. 24, Parkside Recreation Center.

Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff. The Sheriff reserves the right to reject any certified check, attorney’s check or money order that on its face has an expired use date and is presented for payment of the deposit. The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale. The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be set by the City of Philadelphia. In no event will the successful bidder be allowed to settle on the property unless all the Sheriff’s costs are paid notwithstanding the final bid.

and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly. No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of 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.

Tim Perry and Nate Blackwell Reminisce About Temple Basketball Two Chaney-trained alumni thank the coach for lives in basketball By Jeremy Treatman

im Perry and Nate Blackwell met on move-in day 1983 at Temple University. They have been inseparable for much of the time since. The pair will always be linked. They were roommates for four years on North Broad Street and were Hall of Fame coach John Chaney’s first recruits at Temple. Blackwell and Perry both made it to the NBA. Blackwell played briefly for the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs after running out of eligibility in 1987. Perry played eight years for the 76ers, Phoenix Suns, and the New Jersey Nets, as well as also playing five years overseas. He was once traded along with Jeff Hornacek and Andrew Lang for a disgruntled Charles Barkley. Perry redshirted one year at Temple and graduated in 1988. “Yeah, we’ve been close the whole time,” said Blackwell, who along with Perry participated in an interview session at the Sports Broadcasting Advanced Camp for kids August 4th at PhillyCam studios downtown. “We have had a big impact on what we think is a great era of Temple basketball. We lost just six games in two years. Unfortunately, I wasn’t on the 1988 team —Timmy was — that was number one in the country. But I watched every game I could and felt like I was a part of it. Both Timmy and I are a part of Temple history

and we are proud of it. I loved my time at Temple and am proud to have brought a level of winning there that stayed intact for close to 20 years.” Perry, who earned three contracts in the NBA, was a 6-foot-9-inch forward in the NBA after playing center/forward for Chaney at Temple. He now works for Keller Williams real estate, but still is recognized most for being an Owl rather than a Sun, a 76er, or the man traded for Barkley, one of the greatest players of all time. “I think I liked being in Philadelphia the

stars of a 32-2 team that was ranked number one in the country prior to the NCAA Tournament. But his stock rose when he began scoring at a clip previously not seen in the college level. “I think the scouts saw me scoring 20, 22, 26 points in some scrimmages. The games were more wide open than in college. Just like the NBA game, so I think teams thought I would be a better fit for the NBA. I was worried I may [have lost] my status when they asked me to take 100 three-pointers and I made about three of them. But I slowly became a good shoot-

“I regret things I did, but I don’t regret my life at all. If anything, I love getting a chance to speak to as many young people as I can … ” most, but I loved Phoenix all those years, too,” he said. “It was kind of amazing to be traded to a team in the city I played [at] in college, and close to home [Freehold NJ]. I enjoyed it. But [in] Phoenix I really developed. I was a lottery pick there. I got a lot of chances to play and contribute. You just don’t want to be there in the summer. It’s just too hot.” Perry said he knew that he would be a top draft pick after he attended some postcollege camps in 1988. He was already the Atlantic 10 player of the year and one of the

er in the NBA later in my career.” At Temple, Perry was a dominant big man with touch around the basket and a tremendous dunker. He was so good that the NBA asked him to compete in the allstar weekend dunk contest on three different occasions. “One year I did well,” he recalled. “I think I got a little nervous one other time, and another time I kind of got psyched out because the guy before me did the same dunks I was planning on doing.” Perry said he thought he would go to Golden State at number five. “But the War-

riors took Mitch Richmond,” he recalled. “I was happy to go to Phoenix. It was guaranteed money and a lot of money for that time.” Blackwell and Perry share the same values but their paths led to different places. While Perry was earning money playing, Blackwell didn’t last in the NBA and returned to his alma mater, Temple, where he coached for 13 years. He conceded that he once was in line to be the heir to the revered Coach Chaney, who finally stepped down in 2004. “Yeah, I had the support of both the administration and was hand picked by [Chaney] to be the guy, but I got involved in the wrong things and I lost that opportunity. I was a people pleaser. I tried to please good people and bad people and I got involved with drugs. In the NBA, I had a reputation as a partier [as well] so it caught up to me. I regret things I did, but I don’t regret my life at all. If anything, I love getting a chance to speak to as many young people as I can and tell them about my story. I could have been the next coach of Temple but bad decisions derailed my progress.” Blackwell’s troubles didn’t stop there. He also suffered a minor heart attack and has been recovering for the past two years. Blackwell is slowly finding himself and looking to work in basketball again. “I’m feeling pretty good now,” he said. “But no Continued on page 2

‘Fun Home’ star brings her story to New Hope By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Out Broadway actor and singer Beth Malone is bringing her deeply personal one-woman cabaret show “So Far” to the Rrazz Room in New Hope. Malone is probably best known for originating the role of cartoonist Alison Bechdel in the stage production of Bechdel’s autobiographical musical “Fun Home,” which earned Malone a Tony Award nomination. She has also starred in Broadway, Off-Broadway and national productions of “Annie Get Your Gun,” “9 to 5” and “The Unsinkable Molly Brown,” to name a few. Considering her busy theater obligations, Malone said it takes some work to schedule her one-woman performances into the mix. “If I look at the calendar and carve out some dates, then I know that they’re there long in advance and can plan things around it. But it’s getting harder,” Malone said. “Things go in seasons in the acting world so it makes it harder to get out of town.” Malone has told a lot of people’s stories on stage through her acting but putting her own life in the spotlight took some getting used to.

“It doesn’t make it easier to do your own story,” she said. “You kind of get used to the proximity of being one person removed from telling someone else’s very personal life stuff, but when it’s your own, there’s no way to keep that distance. In a way, [“So Far”] is very much like a conversation between the audience and me and that intimacy … I have a hard time playing the character of myself. A lot of these stories happened a long time ago so I can sort of objectify my life a bit, but as the story goes on and it gets more intense two-thirds of the way through, it’s challenging to make it through that part of the show without succumbing to the feelings as if they were happening presently. You have to keep pushing through the emotional parts of the show. But that’s part of what makes it cathartic for the audiences: They know it’s real and it cost me something. Everyone pays a price for certain things that they get to do in their lives, so a lot of people relate to that part of the show in particular.” Malone said that starring in a highly acclaimed Broadway show like “Fun Home” has helped attract audiences to “So Far.” She said the two productions share many elements.

“A lot of people who know ‘Fun Home’ will come out for it,” she said of her onewoman show. “It crossed right over into ‘Fun Home’ fan-friendly territory. It’s like my own journey, just like Alison. At the exact same time in my life, I started looking back and tried to figure out how I got from there to here. That’s the impetus that started Alison writing ‘Fun Home.’ It’s a completely different story but, just like ‘Fun Home,’ the more specific it is, the more universal it is.” Malone added that she still considers “So Far” a work in progress, as she has been refining elements of the show since she first started performing it. “I started putting it up way before it was ready, because that is part of figuring out what you’ve got, what to cut and what to build,” she said. “I start writing down ideas and strung some songs together with some monologues about five years ago. After a while, I started hacking it down and honing it in a way where it didn’t make me nauseous to do it. Every time I would do it, I would be so nervous because I knew it wasn’t ready and I wasn’t prepared. But there was no way to get from there to here without going through that awful adoles-

cent period of a show.” Malone said that part of the reason the show is constantly changing is to help it keep up with the times in which we live, which she acknowledged have changed drastically in the last year. “Now I’m making really specific changes,” she said. “Since the election, I’ve had to rewrite the end completely because everything is different. You can’t just ignore that because the now is always changing. In 2016, the ending was ‘Aren’t we proud of ourselves?’ and ‘marriage equality’ and ‘Everybody is so progressive.’ And now is now. There’s a whole different story and a whole new set of circumstances. You have to take that and treat it with the respect it deserves.” Malone spent her youth and formative years in Nebraska and Colorado before her acting career whisked her off to more metropolitan places like New York City and Los Angeles. Elements of her rural upbringing, for better and for worse, stuck with her. “When you come from a ranching background and the culture and society that goes along with it, it’s like when you are raised PAGE 18 in a religion; it’s in

your DNA. You’ve been programmed to respond to things when you’re young,” she said. “I feel the same way about cowboy culture. I’m as vastly liberal as a person can get, but if you play me a country song I’m going to cry, and there’s nothing I can do about it and I wish there was. I find it fascinating. And my wife can’t go to a rodeo. She finds it barbaric and I find it horribly satisfying to go to a rodeo still. I wish I didn’t but I do. It’s part of my upbringing and a culture I understand. Ranching people in general are really decent, honest, hard-working people. When you start to put religion on top of that, it gets squirrely. People can start to have attitudes about you that are based in these old ways of seeing other human beings, through laws and rules of the Bible. That’s exactly what this show is about. My father is a cowboy and he revered rednecks and I love him and I can’t stop loving him. And he’s done things that are unforgivable. And yet I forgive and love him and understand. This election has taught me about unconditional love. Human beings are harder to love than animals because we’re so ugly and flawed. My father’s Trump vote and my mother following him into that vote devastated me, absolutely gutted me. It

took me a long time to recover but ultimately I chose to pick up the phone and reconnect and just move forward with the relationship and try as hard as I can not to talk about it with them when I’m with them. Yes, it enrages me and there is no reasoning with it. It just baffles me. Really, do they just not watch the news or not think? My show is about my redneck father and me, and how I can continue to talk to him every day. I can’t just write him off.” Despite the inner turmoil she struggles with in her familial ties, Malone said “So Far” comes across as a genuinely funny and entertaining experience. “It’s hilarious,” she said. “That’s the funniest part. All of this you can make jokes about. That’s the best part of it. If you deliver the truth right, it’s funny and sad at the same time. Everyone has this in their family. It’s a really interesting thing. How do you keep a sense of humor in the light of all this insanity? It’s unlimited comic material if you treat it right. It’s not hard to keep this in the musical-comedy vein that it lives in.” n Beth Malone performs her one-woman show “So Far” 7:30 p.m. Aug. 25 at The Rrazz Room, 385 W. Bridge St., New Hope.

Visit magical Provincetown for fall

September kicks off the fall-travel season — one of the best seasons of the year to take advantage of terrific travel values in great places. With the summertime crowds gone, travel becomes more affordable post-Labor Day. While Provincetown, Mass., is magical any time of the year, fall is a perfect time to visit the LGBT-centric town. Crowds jam the quaint streets of Provincetown in July and August, P-Town’s high season. Every week there is a theme week, from the recent Carnival to Bear Week and Family Week. While summer is arguably the best time to visit, hotels can be expensive and have minimum-night stays. Restaurant reservations can also be hard to get and bars and clubs are packed. From art galleries to live entertainment and fine dining, there is a lot to see and do after summer. For beach and nature lovers, Provincetown is nestled on Cape Cod, alongside the National Park Services National Seashore. There are picturesque bike paths and tours of the dunes. While the nights are cool, most September days are warm enough for the beach and the pool. A great resource to plan your trip is P-Town.org. Provincetown excels with events to draw visitors after Labor Day. Coming up this fall is the Mates Leather Weekend XXI Sept. 28-Oct. 1. Women’s Week is Oct. 8-15, and Oct. 15-22 is Fantasia Fair, the longest-running event for transgender individuals in the world. Activities and special events include 50 workshops, a fashion show, cabaret show and two formal banquets. Among the many charms of Provincetown is the hotel and guesthouse experience. Each property is as

unique as this quaint town itself. There is the adults-only Boatslip Beach Club with outstanding views of Provincetown Harbor and a nightly tea dance. The White Wind Inn is a fabulous Victorian mansion with the best views of Commercial Street from the property’s porch. The Brass Key Provincetown is a complex of luxurious rooms among several houses. The hotel has a heated pool, hot tub and special events all year long. It’s a nice spot for a wedding. P-Town is also a great place for Airbnb, with unique cottages and rooms for rent. If you plan to visit Provincetown, get ready to figure out the best way to get there. It is located on Cape Cod on the very tip of the island. Your visit can require a lot of detailed planning from Philadelphia. If you fly, there are two great options on American Airlines and Jet Blue from Philadelphia International Airport, with many daily, nonstops to Boston. Once in Boston, you can take either Boston Harbor Cruises or Bay State Cruises and their fast ferries to Provincetown. Schedules can be tricky, so be sure to coordinate your travel plans around the ferry schedule and leave yourself some extra time to get to the airport (which is just minutes away from the ferry arrival and departure locations). You can also skip the ferry all together and fly on Cape Air. Amtrak is another good option but takes about five hours on the Acela. Driving is the option with the most flexibility but it does come with traffic, construction and other delays. n Jeff Guaracino is the author of “The Handbook of LGBT Tourism and Hospitality: A Guide for Business Practice.”

By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com The blockbuster musical “Wicked” is making a triumphant return to Philly to end the summer theater season with its witchy magic through Aug. 27. Based on Gregory Maguire’s bestselling fantasy novel, “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West,” the story follows the unlikely friendship between Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda the Good Witch from the “Wizard of Oz” in the years leading up to Dorothy’s arrival in Oz. Since its 2003 debut, the show has broken box-office records around the world and is Broadway’s second-highest-grossing production. Ensemble cast member Chase Madigan, who plays Chistery, the head of Elphaba’s army of flying moneys, among other background characters, said the deft exploration of social issues and the nature of good and evil in “Wicked” are among the many reasons it has remained popular for so long. “The themes of ‘Wicked’ really resonate with people of all ages,” he said. “It’s just so relatable on so many levels. It’s a story that we’re all familiar with. People just really love it. That’s why it’s never gone out of style.” Madigan said that fan reaction to the flying monkeys has been polarizing, even from one of his biggest fans. “The kids either love the monkeys or they hate them,” he said. “We wear these masks with this wire hair. My mom actually hates when I put it on because she thinks I look scary. But some of the kids

like the monkeys. It’s funny to see the people’s different reactions to the monkeys.” The immense popularity of “Wicked” and the complexity of pulling off such a visually arresting show with a frenetic pace night after night means the cast is always changing actors and constantly on the move. But Madigan said they still manage to have a lot of fun with the performances. “We do eight shows a week and, yes, we get tired,” he said. “But when I think about seeing the show for the first time when I was 14 or 15 and how much I loved it, when I think about that kid in the audience, I can’t be tired. All of our principal actors do an amazing job and the show itself is so smart and written so well that when someone new steps in, it just gives it new life. That’s what’s cool about how long the show has lasted; the cast is always changing. Every time we get a new person, it breathes new life into the show, which gives us a little bit of a change.” Madigan said the participants in this year’s touring cast got the added pleasure of meeting the author of the book that inspired the stage play. “Gregory Maguire just saw the show here in Boston, which is really cool,” he said. “He came and saw us backstage. Obviously it wasn’t his first time seeing it. He was really complimentary and he seemed to really enjoy our performance, which was really cool.” n “Wicked” runs through Aug. 27 at Kimmel’s Academy of Music, 240 S. Broad St. For more information or tickets, call 215-893-1999.

Cole Escola is ‘stuck’ in comedy By A.D. Amorosi PGN Contributor You don’t do a mean impersonation of Bernadette Peters without winning adoring fans. Then again, that’s just one of the sassy (mostly self-created) characters that the newly legendary, dashingly elastic Cole Escola has made his own during his still-fresh sketch-comedy career. Yes, he’s appeared on television in Logo’s “Jeffrey & Cole Casserole” and Hulu’s “Difficult People,” but that’s too containing. Escola is best served hot in stage shows such as “Help! I’m Stuck!” which he’ll perform at Chinatown’s Good Good Comedy Theatre Aug. 19. PGN: I can guess many of the worst things about coming from Clatskanie, Ore. What is the best thing about growing up gay in the Pacific Northwest? CE: The weather. If you love being gay in the rain, that’s the place to be. PGN: You really weren’t doing comedy very long before you got to co-create Logo series “Jeffery & Cole Casserole” in 2009. How did that happen so quickly? CE: It’s funny you refer to it as a success because it aired Fridays at midnight on Logo. We also filmed it on the built-in camera of a MacBook and they gave us $1,000 to make the first season. We did it during

time off from our day jobs. But it did feel like a success because we had our own TV show. And it did happen quickly. I could explain the boring steps it took, but in a nutshell, someone in charge must have been asleep. I think it was good for me because before that show, I wanted to write and perform but I thought I was stupid for wanting it. That show gave me a little push, just enough validation to make me believe I should try. PGN: Did New York City just seem right when you arrived, or did you have to hands-andfeel-your-way around? CE: Both. It definitely felt “right,” but I was also lonely and miserable for about the first three or four years. I had no close friends, I wasn’t writing or performing and I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. That had less to do with New York than growing up, I think. Anyway, for a fall wedding you can’t go wrong with bisque … I’m sorry, I forgot the original question.

FALL ARTS

PGN: Where did you get your variety-show and cabaret sensibilities? CE: It’s hard to say where sensibilities come from because being influenced isn’t really a conscious thing. Working alongside people like Bridget Everett and Erin Markey, I got to witness the incredible things that can happen when a performer commits to their instincts. I think maybe that influenced me. I also sit down to pee, so I spend a lot of time on the toilet. Maybe the toilet is an influence. Who knows? PGN: What has Scott Wittman meant to your career? He directed you in shows such as “Rock Bottom” and

“Jukebox Jackie.” CE: Scott’s been another key figure in helping me believe I should be doing what I’m doing. He just finished working on the new “Mary Poppins” movie and wanted me to play Mary, but I couldn’t make it work with my schedule.

PGN: What was your inspiration for your show “Help! I’m Stuck!”? CE: First, I came up with the poster. I thought it’d be stupid if my face was on every person in Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom from Want.” Then I thought “Help! I’m Stuck!” was a confusing name for a show so I named it that. Afterwards, I thought it made sense because it’s like I’m stuck in the poster, and in the show I’m stuck, in a sense, as all these characters. I like to work backwards like that. I like to figure out what would be fun for me to do and then figure out why it makes sense after, like, “Here’s a wig I want to wear, you tell me why I chose it!” PGN: You seem to have nice hair to begin with — other than aiding in developing a character, why the wigs and the head wraps you seem to have made a signature? CE: There’s really no reason beyond aiding in developing a character. Maybe I also have a spending problem. But there are worse things I could be spending my money on than auburn up-dos. n Cole Escola performs “Help! I’m Stuck!” at 10 p.m. Aug. 19 at Good Good Comedy Theatre, 215 N. 11th St. For more information or tickets, visit http://goodgoodcomedy.com.

Suzi Nash

Kristyn King: Starting a ‘renaissance’ of trans support in the ’burbs Finding your way as the T in the LGBT acronym can be scary, especially if you’re coming to it a little later in life. Luckily, there’s an organization in our area to assist you no matter where along the journey you fall. Renaissance is a nonprofit organization that offers hands-on help, especially for those just coming to terms with gender issues or wanting some like-minded company. We spoke with the chapter president, Kristyn King, a sassy gal with a dry wit and warm heart. PGN: Are you from the area? KK: Yes, the suburbs of Philly, so I’m paying big bucks for a good school district and I have no kids! PGN: Big family? KK: I’m the oldest of four brothers, or the oldest sister, depending on how you look at it. PGN: You grew up with a lot of testosterone around you. KK: Unfortunately, yes. Except for me, I didn’t do sports; I preferred artsy stuff. I started photography at a very young age and still love it. It’s where I spend most of my money! PGN: I saw some pictures of horses on your Facebook page. Are you an equestrian? KK: I am, but I got into that at a later age. I had a heart attack and that was the best way to get exercise afterwards. PGN: Sure, let the horse do all the work! KK: I know! But the doctor also wanted me to do something to relieve stress so it had a dual purpose. I saw an ad for horseback-riding lessons in the Inquirer and thought, Why not? I’d paid for the ex-wife to do it before, so I figured I’d take a turn. Then I found out that to compete you have to wear these cute little boots and britches with a ruffled shirt that looked just like a girls’ outfit and I said, “Which way to the store?” I didn’t care about competing, I just wanted to dress up! PGN: Do you jump? KK: Yup. I used to do Eventing; it’s a combination of three different types of riding: dressage, cross-country and show-jumping. No one told me when I started that it was the most dangerous discipline of them all! I started out at a barn and it wasn’t until I got hooked that they started doing the death-defying crap! I half-leased an Appaloosa for years with someone until he couldn’t do a right-lead canter anymore, then I got a thoroughbred mare, which was insane.

With the Appaloosa, I had to prod him to get up to a trot, but with the mare, you had to hold on for dear life as she found a second gear you didn’t know existed. PGN: Someday I’ll tell you about the time a friend put me on a similar ride for a class. I later found out that his name was Diablo and that no rider had been able to stay on him in years. KK: Oh my. Yeah, my mare would go so fast we’d have to make big loops in the course so we wouldn’t get time faults for being too fast. PGN: That’s a first. KK: I can’t ride anymore because they have me on blood thinners. My doctor said, “If you fall off and bleed where we can see it you’re fine, but if you fall on your head and bleed internally, that would be inconvenient.” PGN: Have you thought about driving? Last time I was around horses was when my mother drove a cart at Devon. It was also probably the last time I wore a dress and I was miserable because my mother made us wear matching outfits! A long paisley dress with a floppy hat — a teenage lesbian’s nightmare. KK: [Laughs] That was probably around the same time I was dying to wear a dress! We were overlapping. The best thing that ever happened to me was when Prince came out. He made it OK for dudes to wear high heels and frilly shirts. I remember when I was about 10 and trying to figure out what was wrong and why I felt different. Back then, you never heard a word for it; all I would hear about was gay as the only option. At that age, you don’t even know about sex. I knew so little about it, I assumed I had a sexual-orientation problem, not a gender issue. I hung out with some people from the LGB community, but didn’t know about the rest of the alphabet. Then when I figured it out, I was like, Damn, I think I know what it is … I’m transgender. I come from a family of men who are raging homophobes and racists to boot, so it wasn’t the best news to discover about myself. PGN: What made you feel different? KK: Standard stuff. While the boys were out running around, I preferred playing with the girls and identified more with them. I was the smallest kid in the class for 12 years, which was not great then though it’s helpful now! I can fit into women’s size 10 or 12 and size 9 shoes. I know some girls who are 6-foot-6, 250 pounds. It’s a pain finding clothes to fit and no matter what they do, when they walk into a room they’re going

to stand out. The ’70s were great. You could wear bellbottom pants and find very feminine-styled clothes for men and it was considered stylish. Then the ’80s came and it was back to more gendered clothing. So I did what a lot of us do and I got married thinking it would fix me. But of course it didn’t, it just gave me access to a whole house full of clothes. Mom was kind of frumpy so there was nothing for me there, plus with my brothers hanging around, it wouldn’t have been a good idea; kids are bastards when they’re teenagers. After I married, I admitted my inclination to the wife and she said, “OK, as long as the clothes you buy me are cuter than yours, we’re good.” Believe it or not, the reason for the divorce had nothing to do with me being trans. During the marriage, I concentrated on clothes but after the divorce I was able to embrace myself fully. I got laser hair removal because I had a horrible amount of dark hair. I spent about

$30,000 just on removing it from my body and then had to get electrolysis for the face. One of the things we do at Renaissance is to help people find safe resources for everything from hair removal to surgeons to therapists (we’ve been working with Dr. Michele Angelo for years; she’s world-renowned for her work with transgender issues). There are lists of places you can safely go shopping as a girl, restaurants that are cool with us, etc.

PGN: What’s your ethnicity? KK: Scotch, Irish and German. I know, we’re not know for being hairy. But I grew up in an Italian neighborhood, and I think I inherited the hair by osmosis! PGN: That’s funny. So, enlighten me because I’m probably using incorrect terminology: Did or do you consider yourself a cross-dresser? KK: A lot of people on their way to being trans use that term as they’re experimenting. But generally, a crossdresser is someone who enjoys dressing in women’s clothes but usually has no intention or desire to change gender, whereas a transexual is someone who — whether they change genders or not — their brain is female (or male) in contrast to the body they were born with. I consider myself transexual. I’m basically a girl who has to go to work as a boy to make my livelihood. For me it’s a happy medium: a blended gender where I’ve been comfortable for 30 years. I run this support group to help people like me navigate the world as it works for each of us. We’ve had people who identify as cross-dressers, as transsexual; wherever you are in your journey, you’re welcome with us. We have people who are so scared at first that we have to go into the parking lot and knock on the car window to assure them it’s OK to come to the meeting. There are some who after a while decide to have the reassignment surgery and we never see them again and some who are comfortable where they are. It’s all good. We’re not here to keep members who don’t need us anymore. I have girls who come to the meetings with all their gear in the trunk of their car. They come, they change and have their three hours of girlhood and then change back into “male” garb and go home and not a soul outside the group knows about it. But if having that little outlet is what keeps them sane, from abusing drugs or alcohol or committing suicide, then we’ve done what we set out to do. Our meetings are in an office complex that’s totally empty at night, so you don’t have to worry about bumping into someone if you’re worried. We get about two to three newcomers each month, PAGE 25

which means we’re still needed. The Internet is fine, but it doesn’t beat a person-to-person connection. PGN: So what did it feel like, the freedom of being able to be yourself the first time you went out? KK: [Laughs] You mean that scared-todeath feeling? Well, as soon as I got a job, I’d buy my own clothes and wear them when nobody was home. One of the first times out was later. I remember going to Nordstrom’s — as a guy — making my way to the make-up counter and stammering, “I want … um, um … ” and the girl stated, “What? Do you want a makeover? Are you really a girl inside?” I mumbled yes, and she said, “OK, sit down!” and proceeded to explain to me how the different things worked, from concealer to mascara. She was the greatest person. It was like a snowball. Once you get a taste of who you are and can be, it’s like an explosion. I learned how to do my make-up, I started wearing dresses and was able to pass. There was no more butchering it, not knowing what I was doing; it was a great relief. She started doing other trans people and ended up getting a bonus from Nordstrom’s for her work with the community. I was even an usher at her wedding three years ago! PGN: Do the current politics concern you? KK: Of course. I feel so bad for the trans people in the military. So many of them hid themselves for years while serving their country, then when President Obama and the military lifted the ban, they all came out only to find themselves on the verge of losing everything now. I don’t condone hiding — hell, I hid for 20 years and in some areas I’m still doing it — but sometimes you have to think safety first. They’re so exposed now. PGN: Do you think this next generation is becoming more accepting despite 45? KK: Oh, yes. I speak at colleges and schools and the kids are great. I have never had a problem except for one school where a kid said, “If my girlfriend was like you” he’d kill me, but the teacher promptly escorted him out of the room. I let them ask anything they want and if they ask something inappropriate we never chastise them, we just inform, because most of the kids are genuinely interested in understanding. Too often in the LGBT community we get offended instead of listening to and working with people. PGN: What question do you get most often? KK: They want to know who you date. I personally identify as a lesbian because my romantic attraction is to women, but it’s different for everyone.

PGN: Your group is for support. What are some of the social outlets for your members? KK: Angela’s Laptop Lounge is great. Angela was one of the founders of Renaissance. It’s always the same night as our meeting. The meetings are from 7-10 p.m., and the party is from 10 p.m.-2 a.m. at Baxter’s in Malvern. The first Monday of each month we go to Tavern on Camac. They’ve been so supportive — once a month for seven years at no charge. For those afraid to come into the city, I even started a Big Sister program where we’ll meet you at the train station or wherever you park your car and escort you there. We also have a two-day party at The Raven every six weeks. PGN: Do you play any instruments? KK: I took drums when I was 10 but my father didn’t like the noise, so that ended quickly, but I recently started taking lessons again and I’ve been having a blast. My instructor says I’m almost at the point where I could join a really shitty garage band. One more thing to cross off my bucket list. PGN: A rule you always disagreed with growing up? KK: My parents were very racist and homophobic and they tried to teach me that this was how it’s always been and how it will always be, and my reaction was, “No, it isn’t! You can evolve and realize that you’re wrong about a lot of things. It’s how you learn.” But they weren’t having it. It was very hard growing up in that atmosphere. My father hated me for it and to this day he still doesn’t like my stance. PGN: Best birthday? KK: Ten years ago. I’d started my hair removal and I guess I’d mentioned to the clinician, Michelle, that I’d never had a birthday party. The day before my birthday I went in for a session and to my surprise she’d decorated the whole place and had gathered about 25 of my friends. She found people I didn’t know she knew about. It was the best time I ever had, to have 25-30 people there for me. I didn’t know I had that many who cared. It was incredible, even if I didn’t get any hair removed that night! PGN: Finish the line, “Frankly my dear …” KK: I hope I made a difference in the world. I try to get up each day and make the place a little better than yesterday. n For more information about Renaissance, visit https://www.meetup.com/Renaissance-GreaterPhiladelphia-Chapter/members/72241262/ http://www.ren.org/rafil/gpc/gpc.html.
