Wilkes-Barre moves to protect LGBT residents By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Dee Culp was volunteering last year with the Rainbow Alliance to rejuvenate the human-relations commission in Scranton the first time she heard about a similar body existing in Wilkes-Barre, where she lives. “We found out the committee had sort of disbanded,” she told PGN. “If we want protections in this town, someone’s going to have to get the ball rolling on it.” Culp contacted Tony Brooks, who was running for Wilkes-Barre City Council at the time. Brooks, who ran unsuccessfully for Philadelphia City Council as a closeted man in 1991, has since become the first openly gay councilman in Wilkes-Barre. He’s also the first Republican elected since 1983. Brooks introduced Culp to Beth Gilbert, a young Democrat who was also running for the Wilkes-Barre council. “After meeting at a political event, she emailed me Pittston’s and Scranton’s ordinances,” Gilbert said. “Pittston’s was more modern, inclusive and vetted, so we used that as a model.” When she took office earlier this year, Gilbert crafted an ordinance that would extend nondiscrimination protections to LGBT residents in employment, housing and public accommodations. It also calls for city council to appoint seven to 15 representatives to the human-relations commission. Wilkes-Barre had a commission to hear discrimination complaints at least since the 1980s, but no one was appointed to the board. The ordinance unanimously passed its first reading this month. A final vote will take place Sept. 15. “I’m very excited, but at the same time very nervous,” Culp said, noting Brooks’ mother tried to get a similar nondiscrimination ordinance passed in 1994. It passed the first reading, but not the final vote. “In 22 years, nothing’s been done about it. That’s a long time to wait.” “We need to have this,” she added. “It basically gives us a legal leg to stand on against discrimination.” Brooks was on vacation in the mountains this week and unavailable for comment. He was one of the earliest supporters of the ordinance, and Gilbert said she’s optimistic about the current ordinance because all five members of council approved its first reading.“Hopefully history doesn’t repeat itself,” Gilbert said. “The vast majority of residents have been very supportive.” Gilbert, who grew up in Wilkes-Barre, said if the ordinance passes she would consider asking council to adopt a resolution calling on the state to pass an LGBTinclusive nondiscrimination law. “We can do as much as we can on the local level, but state law has a little more grip,” she said. n

LIFE AND LIBERTY: An 11-day motorcycle ride to raise money for HIV/AIDS research concluded at Liberty Place in Philadelphia last week, with a $150,000 check presentation to amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, and $5,000 to Philadelphia FIGHT. The Kiehl’s LifeRide took 12 participants — including actors, sports professionals, the president of Kiehl’s and the CEO of amfAR — through Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and on to Philly, with stops at Kiehl’s stores along the route.

Nikki López, a former youth coordinator with GALAEI: A Queer Latin@ Social Justice Organization, will take the reins as the group’s executive director starting the first week of September.

Kathleen Kane out as AG By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Kathleen Kane, who started her term as Pennsylvania attorney general in 2013 by refusing to defend the state’s ban on samesex marriage, resigned this week. Kane announced her decision after receiving convictions on all nine counts against her for perjury and other offenses stemming from a grand-jury leak to a reporter that prosecutors allege she performed to embarrass a rival. She was the first woman and the first Democrat to serve as attorney general. First Deputy Attorney General Bruce L. Castor Jr., a Republican, will lead the office in Kane’s absence. Kane has maintained her innocence. She lost her law license last year due to the charges and did not seek re-election. Her sentencing will take place Oct. 24. John Stapleton, one of the attorneys who

worked on the Pennsylvania case for marriage equality, told PGN this week that Kane’s stance on marriage “had no effect on the ultimate outcome of the case, but it certainly was an event that brought further publicity to the case and the issue at hand.” For the state’s top law-enforcement official, voters will choose this fall between Josh Shapiro, the Democratic chairman of the Montgomery County commissioners, and John C. Rafferty Jr., a Republican state senator from Montgomery County. Both candidates spoke with PGN before the primary elections in the spring. Kane had said her charges in relation to the grand-jury leak were retaliation for her decision to expose men who had sent homophobic and other offensive emails on state computers. Referring to the emails, Rafferty said they “were inappropriate in any forum and that type of behavior will not be tolerated under my leadership.” Shapiro said he would appoint a chief diversity officer, as well as use the office as a “megaphone” to advocate for expanded hate-crime and nondiscrimination legislation. n

“I’m elated to bring forward my commitment, passion and creativity in continuing to serve the LGBTQ and Latinx community of Philadelphia,” López said in a statement. She added a rousing call to continue the social progress: “¡Pa’lante Sigue, Sigue Pa’lante!” Rafael Alvarez Febo, president of GALAEI’s board, told PGN that López helped the organization develop its strategic plan and revamp its mission in 2013 and 2014. Lopez started with GALAEI around 2011. “Nikki was integral in us forming our mission around social justice,” Febo said. “She helped us figure out what is our intersection as Latinx people with PAGE 6 being LGBT

Cosby can’t re-seal documents related to alleged sexual assault of lesbian A federal judge ruled Aug. 15 that comedian Bill Cosby can’t re-seal depositions in which he admitted to drugging women and having sex with them. The documents come from the 2005 civil suit filed by Andrea Constand, the lesbian former employee of Temple University. She alleges Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her at his Cheltenham Township home in 2004. Cosby’s case is set to move to trial in Montgomery County. District Attorney Kevin Steele charged Cosby with aggravated indecent assault at the end of last year after the depositions had been unsealed. According to this month’s ruling from federal appeals Judge Thomas Ambro, the documents have already received lots of media attention. The court’s opinion said, “The contents of the documents are a matter of public knowledge, and we cannot pretend that we could change that fact by ordering them resealed.”

Deadline approaching for Creating Change proposals Philadelphians are encouraged to submit workshops for Creating Change, the annual conference hosted by the National LGBTQ Task Force. The conference comes to the city Jan. 18-22, and the deadline to submit a proposal is Sept. 20. Creating Change seeks three types of sessions with time limits marked at 90 minutes and three hours for workshops or 60 minutes for caucuses. The topics can cover movement-building, grassroots-organizing, leadership development, organization-building or educational opportunities for leaders in activism. Instructions for submitting a proposal are available at www.creatingchange. org/submit-proposals. Le Thomas, president of Philadelphia Black Pride, is the local host committee co-chair responsible for the programming subcommittee. For more information, email lthomas@phillyblackpride. org. He is one of four local co-chairs for the host committee. The others are Naiymah Sanchez, coordinator of the Trans-Health Information Project at GALAEI: A Queer Latin@ Social

Trial date set in Lynn case A May trial date has been set in the case of Msgr. William J. Lynn, who’s accused of facilitating same-sex child abuse within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The three-day trial is scheduled to begin May 1, with Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge Gwendolyn N. Bright presiding, according to court records. On July 26, the state Supreme Court denied a request from the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office to review a lower-court ruling that vacated Lynn’s 2012 conviction for child endangerment. On Aug. 2, Lynn was released on $250,000 bail. He’d been serving a threeto six-year prison sentence. Lynn allegedly facilitated same-sex child sexual abuse while supervising Catholic priests in Philadelphia. But last year, when vacating Lynn’s conviction, the state Superior Court said too much prejudicial evidence was presented by prosecutors during his trial. In a statement, the D.A.’s Office said there’s “substantial evidence” to establish Lynn’s guilt. But Thomas A. Bergstrom, an attorney for Lynn, said Lynn cannot be resentenced “as he has essentially done his time.” Lynn, 65, served as the Philadelphia archdiocesan secretary for clergy from 1992-2004. He’s the first U.S. church official convicted of a crime due to allegedly mishandling sex-abuse allegations.

But the city filed an interim appeal with the Third Circuit, seeking the suit’s dismissal before it can go to a jury. In a June 24 filing, the city emphasized that Rossiter’s firing didn’t violate any of his federal rights as a union member. In a July 27 letter, the Third Circuit said oral arguments in the dispute may be held on Sept. 29. However, it’s not yet definite that oral arguments will be needed. In 2007, Rossiter helped secure a first-degree murder conviction for Barry Mason, who shot to death Jamil Burton, an openly gay youth, after an alleged robbery in Center City. Mason died in prison last year.

Trial date set in bias case A November trial date has been set in the case of Kathryn L. Waters, who claims she wasn’t hired as executive director of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission due to racial bias. The PHRC doesn’t typically accept anti-LGBT-bias complaints, though it has investigated anti-trans-bias complaints on the basis of alleged sex discrimination. In 2012, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found probable cause that Waters was discriminated against due to her race. Waters filed a federal suit against PHRC in 2013, and the case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Yvette Kane. In her suit, Waters claims systemic bias within PHRC caused her to be passed over as executive director in 2011. Waters is seeking more than $500,000 in damages, according to court records. A jury trial initially was set to begin Aug. 29. However, due to attorney replacements, a new trial date has been set for 9:30 a.m. Nov. 7 at the Ronald Reagan Court House, 228 Walnut St. in Harrisburg.

Oral arguments possible in Rossiter case Planning meeting slated The Third Circuit Court of Appeals for PhilaVentures last week said it’s considering holding oral arguments regarding the case of Detective Kenneth Rossiter. Rossiter, who’s investigated several LGBT-related murder cases, claims he was wrongfully fired in July 2012 due to his membership in the Fraternal Order of Police. When announcing Rossiter’s firing, then-Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey accused him of overtime abuses. An arbitrator ordered Rossiter reinstated nine months later, with full back pay and benefits. In his federal suit, Rossiter claims his firing was retaliatory, due to his union membership. He’s seeking an unspecified amount in damages from the city. In December, U.S. District Judge Gerald A. McHugh denied the city’s request that Rossiter’s suit be dismissed.

PhilaVentures, an outdoor LGBTcommunity group, will hold a planning meeting 2 p.m. Aug. 21 at William Way LGBT Community Center, 1315 Spruce St. The group, which has operated since the 1980s, is seeking new leadership. Outdoor activities include hiking, biking, walking, camping, canoeing and tubing. “We urge people who enjoy the outdoors to attend this planning meeting,” said S. Joseph Hagenmeyer, an organizer. “PhilaVenture is a wonderful group. It’s been a part of the William Way Center for many years, and we want to make it thrive again. Not only will you enjoy the benefits of the outdoors, but you’ll get to meet other like-minded individuals.” n — Timothy Cwiek

40 years ago in PGN People’s Fund supports gay groups Adapted from reporting by PGN staff Three local gay groups each received $300 grants from the Philadelphia People’s Fund. The Gay Activists Alliance of Philadelphia, the Lesbian Community Center and the Lesbian Hotline were among 46 organizations to receive the grants in the spring of 1976. Total contributions to the fund were down one-third while the number of groups qualifying for grants was up by one-fifth. Each recipient was asked to submit an annual report on its activities. The People’s Fund, founded in 1971, supported organizations working for social change. The organization is now known as the Bread and Roses Community Fund and has distributed more than $10 million in grants as of 2016, according to its website. The fund now makes annual grants ranging from $2,000-$10,000. Fired gay organist finds help in Philadelphia Adapted from reporting by PGN staff After being fired as a circus organist in Florence, N.J., Richard Rosio made his way to Philadelphia and found help from the Metropolitan Community Church, an LGBT-affirming religious institution. Rosio said Marcia Hunt-Jones fired him from Hunt’s Famous Circus in July 1976 after she learned he was gay. She also barred him from staying in any of the trailers assigned to other members of the troupe, Rosio said. Various gay groups in Philadelphia helped Rosio file a breach-of-contract suit against Hunt-Jones and Don W. Jones. Attorney Sebastian Reggari of Greenfield, Mass., represented Rosio. Rosio, 20, grew up in Antigo, Wisc., where he began playing piano at the age of 5. He took advanced musical-studies classes at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point. n — compiled by Paige Cooperstein

Phillies debut Pride Night, replacing Gay Community Night from GALLOP By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com The Philadelphia Phillies will host their inaugural Pride Night this month as an official event of the team, meaning it will be listed on the public calendar with all of the theme nights. For the past 13 years, the group Gay and Lesbian Lawyers of Philadelphia has brought people to baseball games for Gay Community Nights. While the event was hosted by an entity outside the team, it could not be listed on the calendar. Larry Felzer, a board member of GALLOP, said he had encouraged the Phillies to take the reins on a night for LGBT fans for the past year or two. “It will help more people know about it, even people who aren’t LGBT,” Felzer said. “It greatly increases the visibility for the night.” The game takes place at 7:05 p.m. Aug. 29 at Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way. The Phillies will face the Washington Nationals. Tickets cost $16-$43, depending on seat location. The first 1,000 fans to purchase tickets through the promotion will receive a voucher for a rainbow Phillies t-shirt. “It’s been a long time coming,” said Colleen Mogee, a season and group-sales representative with the Phillies. “It’s something great

we’re finally able to do officially. It’s a really great message the Phillies can send.” Fewer than 10 other Major League Baseball teams have an LGBT-themed game. Billy Bean, an openly gay former outfielder and the league’s first Ambassador for Inclusion, will throw out the first pitch at the Phillies’ Pride Night. He will also speak to the team’s front office before the game about his experience as a gay athlete and ways to improve inclusion. The scoreboard will recognize Philadelphia’s LGBT community during the second and sixth innings, while a rainbow flag will fly under the American flag throughout the game. The Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus will sing either “The Star-Spangled Banner” or “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” Mogee said the Phillies are working to confirm the details. “I think it says a lot,” Felzer said of the team organizing Pride Night. “Things have really changed a lot for the better.” Proceeds from the 50/50 raffle during the game will benefit the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, which successfully sued the state two years ago to win marriage equality. To purchase tickets, visit mlb.mlb.com/phi/ ticketing/theme/pride.jsp and use the code PRIDE, or call Colleen Mogee at 215-4635000. n

In a recent filing, attorneys for Jamar D. Palmer conceded he drank alcohol at Woody’s Bar prior to being involved in a vehicular accident, but denied that he’s liable for any injuries sustained by the victim. Daniel A. Callaway, an EMT, contends he was severely injured in December 2014 while tending to Palmer’s disabled vehicle on I-95 in Tinicum Township, Delaware County. Palmer’s vehicle became disabled after he allegedly became intoxicated at Woody’s and drove into an I-95 guardrail. While Callaway tended to Palmer, a vehicle driven by Corrin R. Collier sideswiped Palmer’s vehicle, pushing it into Callaway. Callaway’s injuries included a fractured and dislocated pelvis; a fractured right femur, tibula and fibula with insertion of plates and screws; two holes in his bladder; a fractured right knee; a fractured right ankle with insertion of screws; removal of a small piece of colon and resulting colostomy bag; and permanent facial scarring and disfigurement. Callaway filed suit against Woody’s, Palmer and Collier in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, seeking more than $50,000 in damages. In an Aug. 12 filing, attorneys for Palmer admitted that he drank alcohol during the evening hours of December 6, 2014, and early-morning hours of December 7, 2014, prior to the accident. But they denied that Palmer was speeding or using an electronic device or cell phone immediately before hitting an I-95 guardrail. GALAEI from page 1

and how do we connect that to our neighborhoods.

She also worked as the operations manager at FIERCE NYC, an organization that builds the leadership and power of LGBTQ youth of color in New York City.

“[Palmer] was reaching for his cell phone which had fallen to the floor of the passenger side of his car when his car struck the guardrail,” the filing states. Attorneys for Palmer conceded that he didn’t have emergency flares or cones in his vehicle, but denied that he failed to summon police in a timely manner. “It is specifically denied that any of the actions of Jamar Palmer represented intentional and/or willful or wanton and grossly reckless conduct sufficient to form the basis for an award of punitive damages,” attorneys wrote. “If [Collier] sustained injuries and damages as alleged in the complaint, then the injuries and damages were caused by the act, or failure to act, of persons other than [Palmer].” Palmer, 28, was charged with DUI, careless driving, disregarding a traffic lane and related offenses. His blood-alcohol level was 0.16, which exceeded the legal limit. The New Castle, Del., resident was placed in a diversionary program as an alternative to jail time, and his license was suspended for two months. Additionally, Palmer was ordered to perform 64 hours of community service, attend alcohol-safety classes and pay about $2,000 in fines, according to court records. In a related matter, attorneys for Callaway recently asked that Woody’s be compelled to provide information regarding the incident. According to the Aug. 8 filing, Woody’s lack of cooperation “is prejudicing [Callaway’s] ability to investigate this matter.” A hearing on the discovery dispute is set for 10 a.m. Aug. 22 in Courtroom 602 of City Hall. n co-coordinator of the Trans-Health Information Project at the end of June.

Musician convicted in sex case By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Charles L. Cohen, a prominent musician who tried to have oral sex with an undercover cop posing as a 14-year-old boy on Craigslist, was convicted last week of three felonies. But the Center City man must undergo four mental-health evaluations before a judge decides his fate. Cohen appeared frail and feeble as he was wheeled into a Montgomery County courtroom Aug. 12. He pleaded “no contest” to charges of unlawful contact with a minor, attempt to engage in involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and criminal use of a communication facility. Common Pleas Judge Gail A. Weilheimer accepted Cohen’s no-contest plea, and said he stands convicted on all three charges. Cohen’s possible sentence ranges from probation to 43 years in state prison. He also faces up to $30,000 in fines. Cohen may remain free until sentencing, which won’t take place for several months. In September, Cohen was nabbed by police at an Upper Providence shopping center, where he sought to meet a boy and have oral sex. Cohen told Weilheimer he suffers from Parkinson’s disease. His tremors make it difficult to sign a document legibly, he said. “I’m slow to respond and put sentences together,” Cohen said, adding that he willingly entered a no-contest plea.

“These charges were brought against me, and I’m here to take care of them,” Cohen said. During the 30-minute proceeding, Cohen appeared to be disoriented at times. For example, he gave his age as 72, though he’s actually 70. When prosecutor Sophia G. Polites told Cohen that he shared a photo of his penis with an undercover officer, Cohen said he didn’t remember doing so. Cohen also said he didn’t remember telling an officer he wanted to “kiss you all over and give you a long, slow blow job,” as quoted by Polites. “But it sounds like something I would have said,” Cohen conceded. Weilheimer ordered four separate mental-health evaluations of Cohen, to be performed by state and county personnel. She said the findings will guide her when imposing a sentence. The judge said the evaluations aren’t expected to be completed for at least three months. She also said Cohen may submit a “mitigation report” on his behalf. Regardless of his sentence, Polites said Cohen is considered a sex offender and must register with state police every three months. If it’s determined he is a violent sexual predator, additional safeguards will be enacted, including community notifications, Polites added. The date of Cohen’s sentencing will be announced at a later time, she added. n

D.A.’s Office: We can’t certify Morris record By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office last week reiterated that it’s unable to certify a record pertaining to the Nizah Morris case, even though a judge ruled the agency already certified the record. The dispute stems from an open-records request filed by PGN, seeking a certified copy of computer-aided dispatch records for a traffic stop in the Morris case. Morris, a trans woman, was found with a fatal head wound in 2002, shortly after a “courtesy ride” from Officer Elizabeth Skala. Inexplicably, Skala initiated a traffic stop at 13th and Market streets, though she was assigned to handle Morris, who was critically injured and clinging to life at 16th and Walnut streets. In 2013, PGN gave the D.A.’s Office partial records for the traffic stop. In June, Common Pleas Judge Linda A. Carpenter ruled the D.A.’s Office certified those records in a February 2015 affidavit. But the D.A.’s Office apparently refuses to accept that it certified the records. On July 20, the D.A.’s Office appealed Carpenter’s ruling in Commonwealth Court. Last week, the agency filed a two-page “statement of issues” with the court, explaining its challenge of Carpenter’s ruling.

According to the filing, the D.A.’s Office cannot certify the record obtained from PGN because it didn’t create the record, isn’t a custodian of the record and doesn’t have the original record. When an agency in Pennsylvania receives an open-records request, it’s required by law to certify that it’s providing all responsive, non-exempt records to the requester. PGN’s position is that until the D.A.’s Office provides such certification, the agency hasn’t demonstrated that it’s not withholding records for Skala’s traffic stop. In a related matter, the D.A.’s Office filed a document verifying that it ordered a transcript of oral arguments in the case, which took place in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court. The Aug. 10 document also verifies that there haven’t been efforts to settle the case. Once the transcript and other records in the case are provided to Commonwealth Court, a briefing schedule will be issued. Commonwealth Court offers a non-binding mediation program for suitable cases. Thus far, the case hasn’t been selected for the mediation program. In 2013, after a 10-year review, the city’s Police Advisory Commission took an unprecedented step of recommending state and federal probes of the Morris case. But so far, no state or federal agency appears to be investigating the case. n

Bebashi partners with original ‘Dreamgirl’ on concert for HIV awareness By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Actor Sheryl Lee Ralph had a dream 26 years ago to pay tribute to the many friends she lost to HIV and AIDS in the 1980s. A decade after her Tonynominated turn originating Deena Jones in “Dreamgirls,” Ralph started DIVAS Simply Singing to raise funds and awareness for HIV/ AIDS research. She’s hosted the R&B and pop concert since 1990 in Philadelphia. “It’s all about commitment,” said Ralph, who was filming a movie in Santa Fe with Morgan Freeman when she spoke with PGN this month. “It’s a commitment to doing something that is very difficult. It’s not easy to rally people every year around a cause. People sometimes act like [the HIV epidemic] didn’t happen, like it doesn’t happen or like it doesn’t affect them.” DIVAS Simply Singing returns Aug. 20 to the city-owned Dell Music Center at Ridge Avenue and Huntington Drive in Fairmount Park. It starts at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $10-$20, depending on seat loca-

tion. Performers include Keke Wyatt, Martha Wash, Mack Wilds, Tweet, Maysa, Blushhh, Sara Dash, Jean Carne, Full Force, Cheryl Pepsi Riley and Sarita Rachelle. The Urban Guerilla Orchestra will also be featured with music director Henri McMillian. “We like to open with something gospel,” Ralph said, noting the Rev. Alyn Waller, senior pastor of Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church in Philadelphia, will start the night. During the concert, a portion of the proceeds will be presented as a donation to Bebashi, a Philadelphia-based organization that was founded to help communities of color prevent and manage HIV/AIDS. “We’ve been very close with Ms. Ralph,” said Gary J. Bell, executive director of Bebashi. “She’s been an iconic figure in fighting HIV, especially in communities of color.” Bell said Bebashi participated in the concert last year and a few years before that as well. The organization will have a mobile-testing unit on site to offer free HIV tests. “People say they don’t hear

about it being a problem so much anymore,” said Bell, who noted Bebashi also helps people with hunger and breast health. “When we let our guards down, that’s where it can have an impact.” Ralph said medical professionals sometimes give the impression of not valuing their patients of color. She said people with HIV should take an active role in their treatment and volunteer for studies. Ralph added she has seen scientific progress around Hepatitis C, and that she hopes HIV could see similar advancements. She described the two diseases as “fraternal twins.” Ralph has given this year’s concert the tagline, “A community concert for healing.” “Philadelphia is one big community, but sometimes it’s very segregated,” said Ralph, a graduate of Rutgers University. “The north is over here. The south is over here and sometimes it’s like none shall meet. I want them to come together.” For more information, visit www.thedivafoundation.org. For tickets, visit www.mydelleast.com.

Improving hip health to maintain independence Ask any senior what qualities they treasure the most and they are likely to answer independence and mobility. LGBT seniors are likely to value these qualities even more. Many of us have reached senior status without having established traditional family relationships. We often don’t have children and our parents and partners may have passed on. So whether by choice or chance, we have established routines that require the maximum amount of independence to survive. And that means having the mobility that allows us to meet the basics required for a successful, fully rounded life, including personal care, homemaking, shopping, going to the gym, volunteering and enjoying the cultural and social advanJoseph tages of city life. Ask any senior what medical emergency they dread the most and they are likely to answer a broken hip. According to the Centers for Disease Control, at least 250,000 people over the age of 65 are hospitalized for hip fractures each year and, as the population ages, the incidence of these fractures is on the rise. Hip fractures usually result from a fall in and around the home, on the street or in nursing homes. Any other broken limb can cause major inconvenience and expense, but nothing compares with the disruption that can result from a broken hip. Almost every type of hip fracture requires either hip replacement or hip-repair surgery. Today, these medical procedures are relatively routine and safe. But follow-up care involves lengthy periods of rehabilitation, and possibly an extended stay in an assisted-living facility or a nursing home. The recovery process can take months and involve intensive physical and occupational therapy, but with no guarantee of fully regaining mobility. A senior may recover enough to return home, but still require caregiving assistance. Weeks or months of immobility can worsen existing medical conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, or create new ones, like bed sores. It is estimated that within a year of a hip fracture and subsequent treatment, about 25 percent of patients die, either from complications or previously existing medical problems. A further complication is that losing precious independence and mobility can frequently lead to social isolation and depression. And then consider the costs involved — ambulance, emergency room, surgery, medication, long-term rebab, possible in-patient assisted living and/or nursing home, followed by in-home care. It can all add up to hundreds of thousands of dol-

lars, and deal an economic blow that even those with Medicare or the best private insurance may struggle to deal with. Obviously, hip fractures are most prevalent among those over the age of 65, who may be dealing with weakened or delicate bones. There can be many reasons for this, such as heredity and lack of exercise, but the most common medical cause is osteoporosis, a disease of the bone tissue that makes bones fragile enough to break easily. It can typically be traced to a deficiency of calcium and Vitamin D. Women are more prone to broken hips because they experience more severe bone-tissue deterioration due to the depletion of estrogen that starts with the onset of menopause (nearly 75 percent of hip fractures occur in Quinn women). Your regular visits with your medical providers should include discussion and evaluation of your bone tissue, including the presence of calcium and vitamin D. Follow your doctor’s advice about how to maintain the desirable levels of these two important markers either through dietary adjustments or the use of supplements. Two other factors that can lead to the weakening of bone structure also may need to be addressed: excessive weight and lack of exercise. If you value your independence and mobility, there is also a lot you can do on your own to avoid the disruption and expense of hip fracture. Exercises such as Tai Chi can build stronger legs and improve your balance. You can safety-proof your home to eliminate tripping/ falling hazards such as loose rugs, electrical cords, path-blocking furniture and other clutter. Grab bars and non-slip mats are a must for the bathroom. Don’t scrimp on lighting fixtures and bulbs. Keep it bright indoors, rather than stumbling around in semi-darkness. Finally, get regular eye checkups to make sure you can see where you’re going clearly. According to the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind, the correction of eye diseases such as cataracts and glaucoma can lower the odds of fractures in patients over 65. n

Out at the Olympics The 2016 Olympic Games wrap up this weekend after a precedent-setting run for LGBT athletes. While the games made successful strides for LGBT visibility in sports, it wasn’t a development that came without pitfalls. It’s estimated that up to 50 out athletes competed this month in Rio, a dramatic increase from the 23 LGBT athletes who were featured at the summer games in London four years ago. Granted, there were likely many more athletes who participated but who are not out; however, the sharp influx in the participation of competitors who openly identify as LGBT is a leap forward in the right direction. Just a few years ago, the American sports world was deemed one of the last bastions of institutionalized homophobia; the visibility of LGBT athletes competing on the international stage can continue to break down those barriers for generations of LGBT competitors to come. LGBT involvement in sports was also welcomed by some corporate sponsors. Nike, for instance, featured a groundbreaking advertisement focused on triathlete Chris Mosier, its first-ever featuring a transgender athlete. The 30-second spot shows Mosier running and biking, with a narrator framing his story as the first transgender person on the U.S. men’s national team as one of fearlessness. Likewise,

Mini offered its own series of ads celebrating the diversity of the U.S. competitors; though no out athletes were featured, the initiative highlighted the many identities of the U.S. team — poor, black, Muslim, immigrant — and encouraged viewers to defy labels. LGBT relationships were also celebrated, as media swarmed Brazilian rugby player Isadora Cerullo when her girlfriend proposed on the field, and social media went wild for British racewalker Tom Bosworth’s proposal to his boyfriend, Harry, on the Rio beach. Why, then, haven’t LGBT athletes been embraced on NBC’s televised coverage of the Olympics? Announcers missed chance after chance to treat the spouses and partners of LGBT competitors equal to how they treated those of straight athletes. One commenter even referred to the wife of a Brazillian volleyballer as her husband. NBC Nightly News this week thankfully featured Cerullo’s engagement alongside that of a straight Olympian in a feature on love at the Olympics. But, that news nugget isn’t enough to suggest that the network has adequately, or accurately, addressed the LGBT inclusion at this year’s Olympic Games. Here’s hoping that, in the next incarnation of the event, coverage will be as diverse as the competitors themselves. n

Full disclosure: I did not watch the Republican National Convention. I just don’t hate myself enough. But I have watched clips online. And my belief that Donald Trump is a brainless sociopath has only been strengthened. The RNC this year was a clusterfuck battle over who could come across as the most paranoid and hateful. But one speaker stood out for a different reason: Peter Thiel, the first openly gay man to address the RNC. Oh, he’s also the billionaire cofounder of PayPal. So, a totally average American gay. He claimed that the economy and the government were broken and that Trump could fix those things (never mind that the income inequality he cited and the gridlock in our government can largely be attributed to Republican-supported policies and Republican obstructionism). He also said he didn’t agree with every plank in his party’s platform — which makes sense since the platform literally says that he shouldn’t exist and if he insists on being a homo, he shouldn’t have any rights. And after dismissing the “bathroom wars” as a distraction, he said, “I am proud to be gay. I am proud to be a Republican. But most of all I am proud to be an American.” And guess what? He got a standing ovation! From so many white people! And Scott Lively, professional homophobe, is SO PISSED! “It was with disappointment but not surprise that I read the news about the standing ovation that openly homosexual Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel received at the Republican National Convention,” he wrote in a July 28 blog post. “There’s a serious problem of moral compromise on the homosexual issue in the GOP and we need to face it for what it is.” First of all, I’d like to point out that he says he “read the news,” which means even he didn’t watch the convention. It was a terrible shit show for all! He then writes, and I am not making this up, “Ronald Reagan was not a perfect man.” WHAT? Isn’t that considered blasphemy in conservative circles? But don’t worry, he goes on to praise the shit out of Reagan for being the godfather of conservatism. Lively claims that the force of

Reagan’s anti-gayness laid the groundwork for decades of an antiLGBT GOP. And that things are changing and that change is BAD. “Ronald Reagan would never have allowed Peter Thiel to use the GOP stage to legitimize homosexuality,” Lively writes, “nor would the populist conservatives of the Reagan Revolution have ever applauded it.” If only Lively could reanimate Reagan’s corpse so that they could link arms and shout, “Down with the gays!” “Reagan knew that true conservatism is absolutely incompatible with the ‘gay’ agenda. The two are as contradictory in principle and practice as marital fidelity and adultery,” Lively writes. In other words, you can’t be gay and conservative. You have to pick. Never mind that there are some gay people who are voting for Trump and consider themselves conservatives. Mind you, I don’t agree with them and think that Trump is a very bad choice, but I don’t deny that they exist. “Like the truth of the Bible, true conservatism doesn’t ‘change with the times.’ If it abandons its ... resolve to protect civilization from the cancer of sexual degeneracy, then it loses all moral authority,” he writes. Woah. The “cancer of sexual degeneracy,” huh? If that sounds extreme, remember that this is coming from the same man who claims that Nazis were gays and that’s why they were so vicious. He’s also praised the horrific antigay laws in Russia and had a hand in creating Uganda’s “kill the gays” bill. In other words: He’s the total package when it comes to moral authority. Something tells me that despite the RNC recognizing Thiel’s existence, Lively will still find it in his oh-so-moral heart to vote for Trump. n

“Like the truth of the Bible, true conservatism doesn’t ‘change with the times.’ If it abandons its ... resolve to protect civilization from the cancer of sexual degeneracy, then it loses all moral authority.”

Street Talk What's your reaction to Pope Francis' recent anti-trans comments? "He should mind his own business. Let him keep his opinions to himself. He's not knowledgeable about the subject. William Chatten He has no student idea what South Philadelphia he's talking about, not a clue."

"I'm a fan of the pope but on this issue, I would respectfully disagree. Kids should have a choice to be who they are. Gina Rullo They have a digital marketer right to live Queen Village their lives and be who they want to be. I'm a firm believer in freedom of expression."

"I'm very supportive of the rights of transgender children. When you reject a child, it causes extreme pain. In the case Sonia Martin of a trans homemaker child, you're Queen Village rejecting their intrinsic self. I don't think the pope intends to reject any person but that's the message he's giving."

"I don't agree with his statement at all. I find it offensive. Trans kids need all the support they can get. I'm a little Mary Ryan taken aback, interior designer because the Queen Village pope has been liberal on LGBT issues. But on the other hand, he's coming from a place of loyalty to the Catholic Church."

Fitting together When I was still in the process of coming out, I found that one of the friends who seemed to have the hardest time dealing with my transition was the one who had come out just a year or two earlier as gay. This baffled me, as I had naively assumed he would be one of my bigger supporters. As it turned out, I quickly learned one of the reasons for his reluctance: For him, part of his coming out included a concern that his existing friends and family would see him as effeminate or unmanly, or perhaps expect him to suddenly take to performing drag around the house. For him, it was important, in one way or another, to push back against my identity for fear of how that would affect his identity. The same can be true for transgender people too. The same books I was reading about coming out at that time stressed letting people know that just because you identified as transgender did not mean you were gay as well, as if being such was an even-worse horror to foist on your Aunt Connie than merely one’s trans identity.

I came out a couple decades ago, but this remains an uneasy border even now. Several months back, at a speaking engagement for the Transgender Day of Remembrance, I was pulled aside by a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The sister in question, with a tightly trimmed beard framed with the signature white makeup, as well as a full habit and wimple, spoke to me alongside a busy road in hushed tones. They saw the Transgender Day of Remembrance as an important day, but had found it difficult to explain to others in the area. Yes, they understood the importance of speaking out against these murders and honoring those lost, but they did not know how to explain to others — presumed to be non-transgender gays, lesbians and bisexuals — why the fight for transgender people mattered to them. This discussion stayed heavy in my mind for the rest of my time at the event, and is something I’ve pondered a lot over time.

On the surface, yes, it may well be hard to see a similarity. First and foremost, the “G,” “L” and “B” parts of the equation are far more concerned with sexual orientation. They are the parts of a movement that champions the rights of those who want to be in a relationship with a person of the same gender or, in the case of bisexuality, with either of the dominant genders. Or, in the case of the latter, perhaps more than simply two genders — but I’m getting ahead of myself. The “T” in the equation, however, is more involved with gender identity and expression, and seems less of a fit than the others. This is, however, too simple of a worldview. I think we belong together, unified with other sexual and gender minorities. We are stronger together as a coalition, rather than scattered into smaller and smaller subsets, unable to find common ground like some queer tower of Babel. I’ve always been a believer in working together on common causes, and supporting each other during

those times when one or another of us needs support. It’s what I expect in a community. I also know my views are excessively optimistic, and we’d be unlikely to make a perfect harmony of voices — but we can try. Beyond this simple plea for an effective, beneficial community, I think there are more things that bind us together. Yes, trans identities are not on the surface the same as gay, lesbian or bisexual ones — but we do cross over on expression. It may seem a radical approach, but I often look at gay and lesbian identities as being closer to a subset of trans, much more than the opposite. Consider again my friend from high school. The concerns he pushed back against were not about whom he chose as a sexual partner, but about how his masculinity would be impacted when he came out as gay. That seems to me to clearly fall in the realm of gender expression far more than sexual orientation. By that same token, I could have PAGE 16

Attic internship program educates students on intersectionality By Eliana Berson intern@epgn.com A group of young people has worked hard all summer at The Attic’s internship program. Since July, 45 student interns at The Attic have spent 20 hours a week working on various projects. The internship program has been running for five years and is connected to the Philadelphia summer WorkReady program, a citywide initiative managed by Philadelphia Youth Network. The Attic’s six-week internship was open to high-school students living in Philadelphia. The students were given the opportunity to take part in one of two sections, theater or media. Theater classes consisted of writing plays and monologues based on key terms such as misogyny, homophobia and transphobia. Media included writing and directing a radio show. “I hope they take away some skills, though first I should say that it’s about self-empowerment,” said Jay Grant, associate director at The Attic. “We want them to feel good about themselves and learn some info they can pass on, [as well as] educate other people about who they are and the issues that affect them in society.” Grant noted that having two sections of the program has been effective; in the past, The Attic offered four or five groups. “It’s worked better in terms of being able to focus longer on a project; having people splitting up in many different groups, they didn’t have enough time to fully get into the

project,” Grant said. In addition to learning hands-on skills, the youth have also been able to explore intersecting identities, he added. “Our focus is on intersectionality, so I think the young people really explore what that means in terms of a definition and in general, and then try to apply it personally,” Grant said. “I feel like we’ve seen some people unpack some personal stuff, how they’re impacted in the world, and on some levels share that for the first time with peers and/or other people, and be able to talk through that and see ways they can use that to educate other people.” Emmanuel, 16, is part of the media internship at The Attic. They discovered The Attic through a guidance counselor at their school. “I’ve learned to respect others,” Emmanuel said. “I’ve learned to work with teams, and that teamwork is needed to produce any great product. And I’ve learned how to respect people who are different from me.” Paige, 17, is in the theater program. She said she enjoys hearing different people’s stories, and gaining perspective from both the LGBT and ally peers. “My biggest lesson that I’m taking away is don’t judge a book by its cover,” Paige said. “Something I hope someone else will take away from it is that young AfricanAmerican youth and teens in general can come together to perform greatness.” For more information about the internship program, visit www.atticyouthcenter. org. n

pointed out to the member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence who pulled me aside that they were, at that very moment, transcending gender, presenting in traditionally feminine garb while also sporting male facial hair. They were, indeed, transcending gender far more than I was at the time, presenting as traditionally female, albeit in women’s slacks and a simple blouse and jacket combo. There’s truth to this union from our side as well. While many trans people may not identify in a more, shall we say, traditional sense as “gay” or “lesbian,” surely our gender expression muddies the waters of gender, and that can further affect the sexual identity of a trans person as well as those who may have a sexual relationship with us. This becomes even more complex and

obvious as the trans community blazes new, non-binary and other trails. It’s also worth noting that the arguments of so-called “transgender-panic” defense around trans deaths are ones where trans identities and sexual orientation are tightly wound. Those who kill us often claim to do so because their masculinity was threatened, and they worried that someone might think they were homosexual. This, to me, is why the fight for trans people sits firmly alongside our gay, lesbian and bisexual siblings, and it is why we should learn from each other, grow together and be ready and willing to stand up for each other. n Gwen Smith fits within three of four letters in GLBT.

Locals embrace sex positivity at national conference By Ray Simon PGN Contributor Plenty of Philadelphians try to beat the summer heat by heading down to Rehoboth Beach or driving up to New Hope for the weekend. Earlier this month, however, roughly 50 locals, many of whom identify as LGBT or are supporters, tried something different: They attended the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit, a four-day gathering dedicated to the idea that sexual freedom is a fundamental human right. This year’s Sexual Freedom Summit, the seventh annual, took place Aug. 4- 7 in Alexandria, Va. It attracted more than 350 attendees and featured 75 different events, including workshops, keynote speeches, burlesque shows and the Vicki Awards ceremony, which honored pioneering sex-positive individuals. According to Mandy Farsace, the Sexual Freedom Summit’s director, a large part of the event’s appeal is the lively mix of people it attracts. In contrast to meetings like the National Sex Ed Conference, which is primarily limited to academics, Woodhull welcomes a broad range of attendees. “We have activists, we have academics, we have therapists, students, all of these people intersecting in one place for four days of sex-positive, fabulous fun and learning,” said Farsace, who works full-time as a social worker here in Philadelphia at the Mercy LIFE Center. At this year’s Sexual Freedom Summit, attendees could hear Mandy Carter, a longtime social-justice advocate, out lesbian and woman of color begin the day with a keynote speech, “The Personal Is Political (and Vice Versa).” Later in the evening, they could rub elbows in the “Cigar Bar” with Buck Angel, the popular female-to-male trans porn star. Each day’s workshops were grouped into five general tracks: Disability & Sexuality; Sexuality, Race & Racism; Sex Work; Men’s Sexual Health & Pleasure; and Social Media. Even within those categories the topics ranged widely. “Sexualizing Cancer,” “25 Tips for Sexy Aging” and “The Adult Industry for People of Color” were just three of the offerings. Attendees from the Philadelphia region didn’t just come to the Sexual Freedom Summit to listen and observe, though. In addition to those who volunteered, quite a few led workshops of their own. For example, Sebastian Sprague, who earned a master’s degree in human sexuality from Widener University, gave a presentation called “It’s Different for Men: Masculine Victims of Sexual Assault.” In “Decolonizing Sex Positivity — Re-thinking Inclusivity,” Sonalee Rashatwar, a fellow Widener graduate,

discussed alternatives to the “white-centric” approach to sex positivity with Nafeesa Dawoodbhoy, an educator at the Smitten Kitten, a Minneapolis sex-toy shop. Although presentations addressed serious issues, neither presenters nor attendees got mired in negativity. In fact, the conference is notable for its emphasis on positive action. “Another thing that the Summit is unique in is that our workshops, and our plenaries, and everything we do there is not just highlighting the problems,” said Farsace, who describes herself as an advocate for LGBT seniors. “We really empower our speakers to talk about what the solutions are.” Woodhull’s emphasis on getting things done was one of the appeals for first-time attendee Al Vernacchio, a sexuality educator and teacher at Friends’ Central School. “It is as much about action as it is about ideas,” Vernacchio said. “It’s the perfect place to bring more traditional education and activism together. The push to go back into the world and do something makes it an exciting place to be.” Vernacchio was particularly impressed with the keynote speech given by members of the Women of Color Sexual Health Network. WOCSHN, he noted, was “founded specifically to challenge racism and sexism that exists in the field of sexuality. They talked about using social media as a tool for activism. It was incredibly powerful.” Vernacchio even led a workshop of his own: “Sexuality Education Through a Social Justice Lens.” In that presentation, he discussed how incorporating social justice into sex ed challenges racism, sexism and homophobia. “Rather than being just about the ‘birds and the bees,’ it focuses on equity and challenging the forces that keep information and access from those who need or want it,” he said. Clearly, important work gets done at the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit, but there’s more to it than that, according to Farsace. “When I come to the summit every year, it feels like coming home,” she said. The safe, welcoming environment of the summit brings people together and creates a special bond between them. “I’m a social worker, a case manager, but I’m talking to, say, Nina Hartley, who is a career porn star and yet we have the same goals in being at the summit. And there’s something very special and very unique about it.” If you missed the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit this year, no worries. Farsace and her fellow volunteers are already planning next year’s event, which will take place Aug. 3-6, 2017. To learn more, visit www.sexualfreedomsummit.org. n

DNC Playback Part II Success has many fathers

hen you are a civic leader in our fair town, the barometer of success or failure is best set by those who have spent a lifetime defining winners and losers here. The barometer-in-chief for the past two decades has been columnist Clark DeLeon, who for 20 years wrote a daily column for the Inquirer called “The Scene.” The scenes DeLeon saw during the week that was the Democratic National Convention ran the gamut from “… the southbound lanes

“They don’t remember three years ago how much we had to keep on pulling teeth to try to get this thing done.” of Broad Street were filled … with thousands and thousands of surprisingly festive protesters and Bernie Sanders supporters” to “[a] team of artists, videographers, and work crews from Brooklyn set up an art installation 30 feet wide and 5 feet tall on Arch Street opposite the National Constitution Center: 4,000 pounds of block ice carved into the words ‘THE AMERICAN DREAM.’”

All of which led DeLeon to conclude: “Municipal authorities were well-prepared and city workers went above and beyond.” With the success of the DNC came many fathers. So it is perhaps fitting that we focus on the facts of how Philadelphia ended up with her opportunity to shine on the national and international stage. This exercise is not so much to give credit where credit is due, but to learn from this experience so that it can be replicated when other opportunities present themselves to us. The easiest thing in this town is to give all the credit for its successes and all blame for its failures on one man: the mayor. This makes sense much of the time because of our “strong mayor” form of city government; our mayors not only define the legislative agenda, they define almost all of the local rules and regulations by which we do business, travel, eat and sleep. To read the post-convention DNC resolution expressing its gratitude to the city, you can see how easy it is to fall into this trap of conventional wisdom: “Whereas, the Honorable Jim Kenney, Mayor of the City of Philadelphia and the Honorable Michael Nutter, former Mayor of the City of Philadelphia, who led the successful bid to hold the 2016 Democratic National Convention in their “City of Brotherly Love,” have embraced the convention with great zeal.”

The person who actually led the successful bid to host the 2016 DNC was neither Jim Kenney nor Michael Nutter, but one Congressman Robert A. Brady. As Brady told CBS journalist Larry Kane on the last night of the convention, “We forced Nutter to do it. We had meetings without him, but we got it done. And then he was cooperative after he knew we were going to get the bid.” Brady said Nutter didn’t bid on hosting the convention until the last minute. “He didn’t respond to the invitation until after I talked to him ten times for ten days, until like 12 o’clock on the deadline of four o’clock. They don’t remember three years ago

how much we had to keep on pulling teeth to try to get this thing done.” What may have set Brady off was Michael Nutter’s statement to KYW that he was, “very proud that my administration and the host committee brought our convention to Philadelphia.” A review of the history of the bid shows that in the early stages, when the city was asked to submit a bid for this convention to the DNC, our city moved forward despite the efforts of the Nutter administration. In this critical time period, Brady hosted two meetings of stakeholders in the city at the Union League; Continued on page 2 Aug. 14-21, 2016

DNC Playback Part II Continued from page 1 Mayor Nutter chose to stay away from both. He remained absent even though the second meeting was attended by all four living former mayors, who supported a city bid. In fact, the letter informing the DNC that we would be bidding for the convention spent weeks on Nutter’s desk, only responded to within hours of the deadline; a response sparked by a unanimous

city council resolution framed by then-Councilman Kenney calling on Nutter to do so. The next big thing to hit our city will be NFL Draft Day coming to our town next April. At the press conference, Mayor Kenney will be given credit for bringing this event to town. Behind him will be Congressman Robert A. Brady.

Memorial Classic Goes Monumental Continued from page 12 “It was a good time,” said Morak. “We have had some special nights with the Rumph Classic in years past, but I’m not sure we had a night this special,” he said of the August 8th final, which was won by Team F.O.E. for a third time in four years. NBAers Marcus and Markieff Morris starred once again for Team F.O.E., but all eyes were on NBA superstar James Harden who joined them. Morak credited the twins for bringing Harden to Philadelphia. “I can’t really take credit for that, but it just shows you how much we have grown, and the interest of NBA players [in] this event.” Maalik Wayns, a Roman Catholic graduate and former NBAer with the Los Angeles Clippers, also played for Team F.O.E., and had a standout game with double digit points and assists. South Jersey natives Jason Thompson and Kyle Hines led the way for the opponents, a group of top players who normally play to raise money for cancer, but in this case came through to support Morak’s cause. “It was a great game,” Morak

said. “This may be a charity event but it is not a charity game. F.O.E. was trailing by 10 at halftime and came back to win. What makes this unique is that there are a lot of Philadelphia players who come home and want to show the fans of Philly what basketball is all about. There is a ton of pride about winning this event. You won’t find an all-star game where the players try to win over five days like this.” Morak said he had a lot of faith right from the start that the game would progress to where it is today. It’s become a spectacle so large that, after a game, dozens of NBAers and former NBA players are swarmed by fans, and they are embracing it. “I know Allen Iverson played in Philadelphia, but I think he really saw what Philadelphia basketball at a [grassroots level] was all about. I’m excited for the city. We couldn’t have any success if it weren’t for the support of these fans that have supported this event, and all the volunteers we get who help raise money for this cause. It’s been pretty awesome.”

by Sheila Simmons

ecently, at the International House in West Philadelphia, filmmaker Matthew Cherry looked out at the audience attending the BlackStar Film Festival and encouraged them to get out there and tell their stories, and to do so “By Indie Means Necessary.” He was riffing on the title of the panel discussion that featured he and fellow “indie” (independent) filmmaker Anisia Uzeyman, but the phrase was entirely appropriate for the mood and the efforts that the three-day festival, Aug. 4-7, hoped to promote. “We need more filmmakers to tell our stories, that show us in complex situations,” said Cherry, who is African American and who shot the final screening of the festival, titled “9 Rides,” entirely on an iPhone 6. “If you have a lot of money,” shoot with professional equipment he urged aspirants. “If you don’t have a lot of money, it doesn’t matter; we have kids out there doing stuff on YouTube.” The BlackStar Film Festival, dubbed by Ebony magazine as “the Black Sundance” just closed out its fifth year, and carries the mission of “celebrating the visual and storytelling traditions of the African disaspora” and “showcasing films by black people from around the world.” More than 60 films, at two locations, were featured. “9 Rides” was one of the movies with the most buzz. That was certainly in part due to it being shot with a device half of America is carrying around in

their pocket and using to find Pokémon. Cherry confessed of his filmmaking, “In the end we had some issues. Things were out of focus, and things of that nature.” As a filmmaker, he asked himself, “Do I go with the messy tape or the kick-ass performance?” “Ultimately, you don’t let those things take away from the overall product,” he offered. “At the end of the day a good story is a good story.” And “9 Rides” was. It was difficult to believe that the film was shot on a smartphone over the course of only six days. It wasn’t lacking, and conveyed all of, the authentic feeling and tone expected from an independent drama. The final result was a mesmerizing film about an Uber driver who tackles a major life decision following his experiences during the nine rides he delivers on New Year’s Eve. With fine writing, excellent acting, solid plot development, and satisfying-enough angles, the story held viewers interest, while touching on issues of police tensions, domestic abuse, infidelity, personal commitment, and the impact of divorce. Though an impressive effort by Cherry, a 34-yearold Chicago native and former NFL player, he said, “I don’t consider myself better than any other filmmaker out there in the audience. I was just somebody who had a great support system and a great team,” — and an iPhone 6.

sold

JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff on Tuesday, September 13, 2016 at

First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, at 9:00 AM. (EST) Conditions of Sheriff’s Sale for JUDICIAL/FORECLOSURE SALE Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price. Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff. The Sheriff reserves the right to reject any certified check, attorney’s check or money order that on its face has an expired use date and is presented for payment of the deposit. The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale. The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be set by the City of Philadelphia. In no event will the successful bidder be allowed to settle on the property unless all the Sheriff’s costs are paid notwithstanding the final bid. The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the

SHERIFF’S SALE

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. Prospective purchasers are directed to the Web site of the Philadelphia Bureau of Revision of Taxes, (BRT) brtweb.phila. gov for a fuller description of the properties listed. Properties can be looked up by the BRT number – which should be cross checked with the address. Prospective purchasers are also directed to the Room 154 City Hall, 215-6861483 and to its website philadox. phila.gov and to its website at http://philadox.phila.gov where they can view the deed to each individual property and find the boundaries of the property. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE NATURE, LOCATION, CONDITION AND BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTIES THEY SEEK TO PURCHASE. The BRT # refers to a unique number assigned by the City Bureau of Revision of Taxes to each property in the City for the purpose of assessing it for taxes. This number can be used to obtain descriptive information about the property from the BRT website. Effective Date: July 7, 2006 NOTICE OF SCHEDULE OF DISTRIBUTION The Sheriff will file in his office, The Land Title Building, 100 South Broad Street, 5th Floor, a

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. The name first appearing in each notice is that of the defendant in the writ whose property is being sold. All Writs are Writs of Executions. The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court - indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ. Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions. Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales conducted by him. Very truly yours, JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff City and County of Philadelphia

EDDIE GRIFFIN REMEMBERED? Roman Catholic High School is arguably the greatest city power of all time. Folks from Overbrook, West Philadelphia, Simon Gratz, Ben Franklin, and Neumann-Goretti will certainly give you an argument otherwise. Among all the great Roman players none were as heralded, or as good, as 6-foot-9-inch center, Eddie Griffin. Griffin died at age 26 from an apparent suicide. Despite having been a current NBA player with the Houston Rockets, he is not in the Cahillites’ Hall of Fame. This is turning into a sore subject for many of his ex- classmates and teammates, some of whom have formed a movement to get him in. The reasons for the glaring absence of Griffin are not entirely clear. True, he did not graduate with his classmates in 2000, because of getting into a massive brawl on campus that spring. Following that, he had a fight in college at Seton Hall and a few scrapes with the law while in the NBA. Still, many people are speaking out at Roman Catholic. “So, only time will tell if they [Hall of Fame committee] have any common sense and speak to those who knew Eddie, instead of reading what is on the Internet,” said Joe McCourt, a former football and basketball star who played with Griffin on Broad Street. McCourt started the movement along with ex teammate Mike Wild, and he says he has the blessing of Griffin’s family. “The pros will always outweigh the cons and Eddie will be where he belongs in the Hall of Fame,” said McCourt. “The greatest basketball player who ever represented Roman in cities and small towns across the country. Going to tournaments in small towns across the country in such a positive way deserves better.” He added, “There’s a can of worms we don’t want to go down because it’s not going to look good on Roman’s end. A Catholic institution not having sympathy for someone suffering from depression and alcohol disease is not a good thing. Not to compare incidents but Kyle Ambrogi’s legacy lives on at St. Joseph’s Prep [even though he committed suicide]. They have scholarships and awards named after him. Rightfully so. How can Roman go the opposite direction on this issue? It’s actually embarrassing.” McCourt hopes that Roman officials will change their minds but he will continue the fight in the meantime. “Something has to get done,” he said. “This just isn’t right.”

DENNIS FINDS A HOME Philly native Gregg Dennis misses Philadelphia every day. But in 2002, an opportunity to be an athletic director at a posh private school in Cincinnati took one of our city’s best educators elsewhere. Dennis, the former boys’ basketball coach and athletic director at Girard College, has taken the same knowledge of working with disadvantaged kids and kids who have lost parents from Girard with him to Ohio, and applies it daily. “For sure,” he said. “I still love Philly and use my knowledge of working with people in my home area, here at my job at Summit Country Day. Coaching at Girard was a dream. I have coached some of the best young men that the city has produced. I talk to a lot of them all the time, and what they are doing and what they’ve accomplished is great. Summit is a great place, too,” he added. “I love the school and the student-athletes are the best.

soul

Local animated filmmaker launches crowd-funding campaign By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Out Philadelphia artist, director and animator Dani Aloi has launched a crowd-funding campaign for her ambitious film project “Body Seeking Soul.” The film is a story seen through the eyes of a genderless protagonist on a journey of self-discovery through a stop-motion world. “I’ve always loved journey films,” Aloi said. “It’s what drew me to animation in the first place as a kid. I knew I wanted to do something that was important to me and my identity. Journey films are about figuring out yourself in a way and it all seemed to make sense and fall together.” At the beginning of the story, the char-

acters are largely in the dark, with some abstract light and color animation; they can hear the voice of another character trying to coax them out of the darkness. When they open their eyes, they see a forest full of creatures with whom they struggle to communicate as they search for the path forward. “There’s a lot of symbolism in it,” Aloi explained. “The

whole story is leading up to the characters finally ending up in an area with a crystal pond and they look into the pond and they finally see themselves for the first time.” Aloi added the fact that the main character doesn’t have a defined gender adds to the sense of discovery throughout the story. “The significance in that for me is really just being able to see

a strong character that is not binary,” she said. “I don’t think the characters in the film needed gender for the most part. I thought it would make a more universal story because I don’t want people to see a masculine or feminine bias in the character.” Aloi said the genderless nature of the main character also resonates on a personal level with her. “I definitely personally connect to the character,” she said. “Being a bisexual woman, I have always felt that my self-expression has been very torn between masculine and feminine. But it’s not exactly for me because, whereas I feel a little bit of both, I think this character feels neither.” The strange world that the genderless character ventures through is PAGE 22

based on Aloi’s artwork, which is being brought live by her team of artists working on the film. “It’s kind of weird with the concept art because the medium changes of course,” she said of making her two-dimensional ideas into a three-dimensional reality. “The puppets are going to closely resemble my drawing styles as much as I can. That is definitely what you can expect in the film. All the artwork so far in there is mine. At some point, you might see some other designs by artists on the team but all the original designs are mine. It’s going to be a bit abstract; most of the stuff I do has an experimental angle to it.” Aloi said stop animation gives the film a more personal touch. She added she’s always been enamored with that style of filmmaking; she grew up watching films by director Henry Selick like “James and the Giant Peach” and “Coraline,” as well as older works by filmmakers Jan Švankmajer and the Quay Brothers. “It’s got this textual quality to it,” she said about the stop-animation technique. “You can see that someone’s hand actually moved the object around. You can see that physicality of the artist inside of it. A lot of people will say that it’s a dying art but I personally feel that there’s always going to be a small group of artists that will carry it on, especially great studios like LAIKA that take on feature films and do incredible things with the art.” This being the digital age, there are far less time-consuming ways to create an animated film. But Aloi said the painstaking process of making a stop-motion film is worth the creative hurdles she and her team have to face. “The most challenging thing is the fabrication stage,” she explained. “It takes a lot of time and it takes a lot of dedicated artists to get through it, especially something as

stylized and large-scale as this. Also during animation, there are so many things that can go wrong. The thing about stop motion is if you really mess up in the middle of a shot, you have to start all over again if you want to get it right.” “Body Seeking Soul” is Aloi’s last film project for University of the Arts. But she said she would like to continue creating similar films after she has finished her studies. “I would love to get to do more projects like this,” she said. “That’s my hope: that I can continue to make my own independent films and cover themes and topics that are important to me. I’m probably going to end up doing whatever pays the bills but my hope is that I can continue making works like this.” n “Body Seeking Soul” is currently in pre-production and is expected to be completed in May 2017. The crowd-funding campaign for the film ends Sept. 16. For more information or to contribute to the film’s funding, visit igg.me/at/BodySeekingSoul.

Suzi Nash

The Jordyn Show: Performing for community, charity and fun The Jordyn Show is a performer and promoter with “huge and unrealistic dreams and ambitions” that include becoming the greatest performer of all time and saving the world one piece at a time. In an effort to do both, The Jordyn Show has launched Queerspace, a monthly event that is designed to showcase and inspire amazing local queer performance of all kinds — drag, burlesque, poetry, stand-up, singing and visual arts — to bring a sense of community and charity to the Philly music and arts scene. PGN: Tell me about the name. And can I call you TJS? TJS: Yes, well The Jordyn Show is my artist name. I do everything under that. When I was 12, I found my stepdad’s video camera in the basement and from that moment on I taped everything. I started filming little skits with my dolls and calling it The Jordyn Show. The last tape I have was of my band practicing in high school. I never really knew how to navigate the world unless I was entertaining. That’s just me, The Jordyn Show.

my life that got me through the hard times. Since I can remember being able to think, I had that one dream, always, always, always. PGN: And what was it you were going through? TJS: Just being so young and being scared at home of whatever was going on in the other rooms in my house. As I said, my mom was young and single so she’d have guys over and they’d do things in front of me or I’d walk in on something, so I was always kind of paranoid that something nasty might go down if I wasn’t there. I vividly remember sitting in the bathtub at 5 years old being terrified and singing as loudly as I could to make myself feel better. Music was always my safe place, the way to make sense of the world around me, which could be pretty awful.

PGN: Native Philadelphian? TJS: I am, I’m a fourth-generation Fishtowner. We’ve been here forever! It’s a totally different place now. When I was a kid, it wasn’t a cool place to be in or from.

PGN: Did you take the role of protector? TJS: Not really, I was too young to know how to be my mom’s protector, but I knew even then that I hated the guys she was hanging around. I was expected to be pretty independent and pretty adult-like at a young age. I don’t want to sound ungrateful but I had to kind of raise myself in a way. Looking back, I realize that most of the adults around me weren’t really giving me the stuff I needed.

PGN: Tell me about the fam. TJS: I was an only child until I was 13. Now I’m the oldest of six. I grew up with a young single mom; she and my dad were a couple of teenagers who made a mistake and here I am! They didn’t stay together for very long, though. They both remarried and had kids.

PGN: So music was your solace. Where or when did you first perform? TJS: My first time on a stage was when I was 12 at the studio where I was taking voice lessons. They had a little showcase at the end of the semester. I sang Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel.”

PGN: What was life like growing up in Fishtown? TJS: I was a total homebody as a kid. I stayed up in my room drawing or singing, so I didn’t really interact much with other kids or people there.

PGN: At 12? TJS: [Laughs] Yes, I was always ballsy with my song choices. In that memory I described of me singing in the bathtub, I was singing Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.” I was always about the divas and belting. And singing about things that were beyond my span of knowledge.

PGN: Did you have an imaginary friend? TJS: Oh, I had thousands and millions and they’re all part of me. PGN: I didn’t have an imaginary friend, but my parents had one of those three- sided mirrors like in a fitting room, and I could look and see an infinite number of Suzis and we’d talk and go on adventures for hours. TJS: Hell yeah man, that’s awesome. My grandmother had the same set-up in her bathroom but she also had a full wall mirror behind the sink mirrors, so you could open it up and see thousands behind you and in front and everywhere. So I did a lot of that shit too when I was a kid. PGN: Did you always want to be a performer? TJS: Always. It was the one saving grace in

PGN: [Laughs] That’s more rock and roll than R&B! TJS: I know. I like it all, as long as I can put some emotion into it. I recently gave myself a concussion on stage singing a tough song. I spent the night trying to get into a dark place so I could sing it properly and I got there. At one point I was on my hands and knees and I smacked my head down. It hit the stage with a thud that you could hear throughout the venue. I was not right for three days; I was talking really funny and my personality was changed, I wasn’t typing right. It was disturbing, but one of many performance injuries. PGN: Were you in theater in high school? TJS: School was like heaven and hell for me. In eighth grade I had no friends in the world, no one who understood a fucking word I was saying, stuck in a world where I was too nerdy for the Fishtown kids but too Fishtown for the nerdy kids, in a bubble by myself. Then I went to CHAD, the Charter High School for Architecture and

PGN: How old are you now? TJS: I just turned 24. PGN: A baby! TJS: [Laughs] Not really, I’ve lived for thousands of years. PGN: What type of music do you predominantly sing? TJS: I like to sing a little of everything but my voice goes with a lot of sad, emotional ballads. Soul, jazz and blues are big in my wheelhouse. PGN: Give me one of the last songs that you performed. TJS: “White Rabbit” from Jefferson Airplane.

Design, and it was like being in a candy store. It was full of kids who felt the exact same way. We all were creating art and bonding together and it was wonderful until my stepdad decided to upheave us and move to the middle of Buttfuck, Pa. I lost connection with all my CHAD friends and with Philly itself. I mean, this city was my best friend and it was an hour-and-ahalf away, so the last two years of high school were rough. The only light was that I got to front a cover band in my senior

year and play a few shows, basement parties, etc. It was a dream come true. PGN: What did you do after high school? TJS: I got the hell out of there and went to Temple to study theater for four years. I had a brief foray into art education that almost led to a suicide attempt. I was so lost but I got back into theater and had an epiphany. I broke up with my boyfriend, stopped drinking and decided to dedicate my time to music. It was big. PGN: Speaking of big, tell me about the Queerspace project. TJS: The next event is Aug. 26 at Tattooed Mom’s. It was supposed to be our first event but after the shootings happened at Pulse, I felt I had to do something right away — those people needed shit immediately — so I told my producing partner, Ian Johnson, “We need to make something happen now!” and we pulled something together. It was magic, just mind-blowing. We raised $500! Queerspace is a safe space where all people — queer, trans, straight, anyone feeling disenfranchised — can come and feel welcome. I know I have to be reminded every once in a while that there are people out there who are positive and can appreciate me as I am and want to be part of a community. We set out to create a richer and loving and more open environment. The three main pillars are community, charity and fun. It’s always free, no cover. Two things I’m proud of is that we pay our performers a generous percentage of the bar sales and that we give them the space to put on weird, funny, innovative shit that won’t get booked in most places. We have drag queens, burlesque acts, musicians, singers, a few side-show acts. Last show we had stand-up and poetry; pretty much anything goes. Last time Ian and I opened the show with “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” which was a lot of fun; he’s an opera singer and I’m super corny so we had fun with it. PGN: You’ve mentioned how important environment is to you. I’ve been to Tattooed Mom’s and to an outsider it could be intimidating: side-show acts painted outside and very carny-looking inside. A non-pierced, no tattoos, more “conservative”-looking person might have second thoughts about going in but I’ve found they’ve always been very sweet and welcoming. PAGE 30

A new book is taking a tongue-in-cheek look at the amount of time, energy, pain and money that goes into perfecting the eyebrow. “Pluck This: An A-to-Z Eyebrow Fantasia,” written by Melissa Markoff and illustrated by Julia Hartling, uses poems and illustrations dedicated to each letter of the alphabet to celebrate the many ways the famous and the fabulous have used their eyebrows to express their individualism. “The eyebrow is the one feature of your face that you can change without plastic surgery and make a dramatic difference,” Markoff said. “Julia and I live on the Main Line and we observe many things about the people here and their fashion choices. We find it fascinating, especially for Julia, because she comes from Tartarstan, Russia. She thought it was interesting how much attention to detail people paid to their appearances. She had wanted to write a book and she thought it might be interesting to explore appearances and how we deal with them through the lens of the eyebrow.” “I’m interested in beauty in general and how our ideas of beauty change through time, and how plastic those ideas are,” Hartling added. “We can love something and 100 years later it’s considered to be a terrible feature.” Not surprisingly, a number of gay icons make appearances in “Pluck This,” including Frida Kahlo and Andy Warhol, as well as fashion icons like Anna Wintour and Queen Elizabeth.

“I realized after I read the book how many LGBT icons there were,” Markoff said. “I think I’m very influenced by LGBT culture. It wasn’t really conscious. We were generating what subject we would have for each letter. I just brainstormed things I was interested in, then I realized that many of them were part of LGBT culture.” Markoff said she hopes that the book’s combination of her humorous perspective and Hartling’s artistic sensibilities will appeal to a large audience. “We wanted to create something that was fun, engaging and beautiful to look at for eyebrow-obsessives, art lovers and humor geeks alike,” Markoff said. “We hope the book’s underlying message of self-acceptance comes through. We’re living in an exciting time when our culture is expanding the notion of what is beautiful.” n “Pluck This: An A-to-Z Eyebrow Fantasia,” is available now.

PORTRAIT from page 23

And they have the best pierogies! TJS: They are a really loving group of people there. The owner, Robert Perry, is the sweetest guy. I’ve never been to a place like this where there’s support for you and all the people there feel like friends. I had people who just stumbled upon the show who, with tears in their eyes, told me that it felt like they’d found their people. PGN: When did you first realize or identify as queer? TJS: I didn’t feel a need to put a word on it until high school. I’d been girl and boy crazy since I was a kid, I still am! I fall in love every day. In high school, I was in love with this girl named Jasmine but it was intense because she was from a very Christian family. So she would call me and say, “I can’t do this, I can’t be gay, my family would disown me.” We worked through it and she inspired me to talk to my family about being what I called bisexual at the time. They were very dismissive and never brought it up again until recently, but at least the truth was out. PGN: Who was your first celebrity crush? TJS: [Laughs] I was enamored with Sporty Spice, Mel C. She was a goddess to me. She’s the person who first showed me the power you could have on stage. I’d rewind this one part of “Spice World” where she’d hit this note [sings] and tears the house down. It was a magical moment when I decided, wow, that’s what I want to do. PGN: Something you can’t leave the house without? TJS: My Ray-Bans. My eyes are completely useless without them. And they’re classic, man, they make you feel badass. PGN: A performance you wished you could have seen? TJS: Oh man, there are so many dead performers I would trade my left nut to see live. I guess the two I have tattooed on my forearm: GG Allin and Amy Winehouse. PGN: Craziest adventure? TJS: I was in L.A., doing meetings with record companies, and I ended up being chased by the LAPD with helicopters and everything. I was recording in a studio one night and apparently Justin Bieber was recording in the room next to me. When we finished our session, it was late and my dumbass manager suggested that we just sleep at the studio. The confidence with which he set forth this plan led me to say, “Sure, I’m beat. Why not?” Until he shook me awake at 7:30 a.m. saying, “C’mon! We need to get out of here!” I was like, “What the fuck do you mean? What’s going on?” He didn’t answer but dragged my lethargic ass out of the studio, where we tripped the motion sensor as we were climbing the back gate, summoning a slew of police cars and a few helicopters. We ran down a back alley and jumped on the first bus we saw, even though we didn’t know where it was going.

PGN

PGN: Do you write your own songs? TJS: Oh yes, I’ve been writing since I was a kid. There’s a lot of crazy shit that I’ve been through and I write it all down. PGN: You mentioned that you did an interview before but they refused to print it. What happened? TJS: It was just an uptight reporter who was very judgmental. I’d told her that I had a brief foray doing some stripping for a few months trying to get money to move to New York and she didn’t want to hear the truth. She was a lame-o. I wasn’t hurt, but bummed out that she was so closed-minded. She wasn’t into hearing about real shit. PGN: Well I’m all yours, give me your realest shit. Highest and lowest points. TJS: Oh God, how much time do you have? Things seem to come and pass so quickly it’s hard to keep up. Right now I’ve been battling my eating disorder and the things that it makes me do. I’m aware that it holds me back from reaching my full potential, but it’s something that’s been on my back for years. For fear of jinxing myself; things have been exploding in a positive way for me right now. I’ve been getting bookings and people are paying attention to what I do, giving me a chance to say the things I’ve been wanting to say for so long. It feels like my dreams are coming true and it’s forcing me to really be about what I say I’m about, no bullshit. To tell myself that I have to learn to love myself. That’s something I’ve been grappling with. [Long pause] If I could impart anything, I’d try to tell people [to] give yourself love. Life would be so much easier … it really would. PGN: Definitely, and there’s no reason not to. I’ve just met you and already can see that you have talent and a good heart and that you’re a survivor. Feel the love around and within you. TJS: [Sniffs] Thank you, thank you. I do. Man, lately it’s been really beautiful. People I don’t even know have been showing me love. PGN: Do I understand that the Aug. 26 show is another fundraiser? TJS: Yes, we will be collecting clothes, socks, tampons and snacks for the homeless peeps of Philly. It’s a good cause so I hope people will come out to see some amazing performances and make new friends. We’re one big, happy queer family. Let’s make some big change and create positivity! It’s only going to get bigger, crazier and more memorable every time, so let’s get people to Queerspace! n For more information, see https://www.facebook.com/ Thejordynshowmusic/?fref=ts.

Will Olympics ruin Rio’s tourism image? The eyes of the world have been on Rio for the 2016 Olympic Games 2016. Countries compete to host the Olympics, in part, to bolster the country’s international reputation and boost tourism. Rio might be as famous for its Copacabana iconic beaches as its reputation for crime. This year’s Olympic Games have been plagued with reports of polluted water, crimes involving athletes and a government in chaos. Consider this: According to The New York Times, there were 11,000 crimes in June this year in the country. Even Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte and three of his United States teammates were held up at gunpoint. The Times also reported that the chief of security for the opening ceremony was robbed at knifepoint during the Games, a stray bullet landed in the equestrian arena’s media tent and Portugal’s education minister was assault alongside the lagoon where the rowing competitions were being held. Is Rio dangerous? It can be. Will the Olympics hurt Rio’s romanticized tourism image? Not in the long term. Will the LGBT community still go to the iconic city? Likely yes. According to the tourism office, almost one million LGBT tourists flock to Rio annually. And it’s worth the trip. Last February, this column featured a story about an amazing visit to Rio. (Visit www.epgn.com and check the Outward Bound tab.) Rio, and Brazil as a whole, deliver an amazing and memorable visit. There is so much to see and to do. The people are warm and friendly. The arts, culture, history and cuisine are distinct. As in most destinations around the world, a majority of the people you’ll meet are friendly and honest. There are many ways to safely visit beautiful Rio and there are a number of reasons to go, including Rio Gay Pride coming up this fall (Rio’s spring), Nov. 13-16. The best way to see Rio might be in a small group with an experienced tour company like Zoom Vacations (zoomvacations.com). You can find a number of qualified LGBT tour companies at IGLTA.org. If you plan your trip on your own, consider looking at past Outward Bound columns on travel-safety tips, including registering your trip with the U.S. Department of State. Another resource to help you plan a safe and fun trip is riogayguide.com. The official tourism website is visitbrasil.com. Be careful of other sites that may look like the government tourism-office websites but are not.

Here are a few things you need to know about traveling to Rio that are good lessons for any international trip you take! • Be careful about taking strangers to your room. Some hotels — especially in Rio — do not allow guests (making a vacation hook-up from Grindr or Scruff very difficult). If they do allow a visitor, he or she will be asked to show ID and register with the hotel’s front desk. This is for your safety. • While Rio is a fashionable city, leave the bling at home. You will already stick out for being an American, not speaking the language or simply by being in the tourist areas. No need to be flashy. • If someone calls your room claiming to be from the front desk of the hotel asking for your credit-card number, hang up! It is a common scam that the hotels themselves will warn you about. You can always walk to the front desk yourself. • Take cellphone pictures of your driver’s license and passport and then lock the originals in your hotel safe. Limit how much money you have on you and try to carry just one credit card. Everyone accepts credit cards, including the licensed merchants on the beach. • Be safe going to the gay bars. Some of the bars are out of the tourist zone. It can be a risk to go to the clubs (which start very late at night, and the party goes on until the early morning). Try to limit how much you drink and, if possible, stay with your travel partner. Don’t wander. • Ask your hotel concierge about licensed tour guides and taxis. Use your hotel concierge or tour operator frequently. Finally, Brazil requires a visa for travel so don’t forget to plan ahead. Despite the Olympic news, Rio is always worth the trip — just do it with a good travel head on your shoulders. n Jeff Guaracino is the author of “The Handbook of LGBT Tourism & Hospitality: A Guide For Business Practice.”
