City appeals sEPTA ruling By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com In a 35-page petition filed last week, the city asked the state Supreme Court to review a lower-court ruling exempting SEPTA from adherence to the city’s LGBT-inclusive antibias rules. The Aug. 7 ruling by Commonwealth Court was blasted by LGBT advocates, who maintain SEPTA’s LGBT riders and employees would be negatively impacted if SEPTA doesn’t have to comply with local antibias rules. SEPTA has about 9,000 workers and more than 600,000 riders daily. The transit system serves Philadelphia, four nearby Pennsylvania counties and some areas of New Jersey and Delaware. But SEPTA claims that, as a state agency, it doesn’t have to comply with the city’s LGBTinclusive antibias rules. Instead, it complies with the state’s antibias rules, which aren’t LGBTinclusive. The highly contentious litiga-

tion began 2009, after trans woman Charlene Arcila complained to the city’s Human Relations Commission about SEPTA’s placement of gender stickers on transpasses. Arcila died in April, and SEPTA no longer places gender stickers on transpasses. But Arcila’s complaint remains held in abeyance, due to the possibility that monetary damages will be awarded to her estate. In August, Commonwealth Court ruled that exposing SEPTA to complaints such as Arcila’s would be unduly burdensome. “Spending [public] funds to ensure compliance with any potential number of different local anti-discrimination statutes would divert [the funds] away from SEPTA’s core mission of providing public transportation,” the ruling stated. The city’s Sept. 8 petition claims that SEPTA has a $1.65-billion annual operating budget, and should be capable of complying with the city’s antibias rules. The petiPAGE 18

Three-alarm fire displaces dozens in gayborhood By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com

ThREE-ALARM TUEsDAy: A fire broke out at a construction site at 13th and Chancellor streets early Tuesday morning, burning the old Letto Deli to the ground. The Gayborhood spot — formerly the home of a Dewey’s lunch counter that was closed by a fire in the 1960s — was being renovated for a new French restaurant. Dozens of residents of two nearby apartment buildings were evacuated, but no injuries were reported. There was no immediate word on the cause of the blaze. Photo: Scott A. Drake

Joseph Hallman awoke to several loud popping sounds about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. He thought they were gunshots. When he got up to go to the bathroom, he looked out his ninth-floor window in Chancellor Apartments in the Gayborhood and saw flames climbing near the front of his building. A few moments later, the fire alarm began blaring and Hallman rushed down the stairs. “I’ve lived in Philadelphia all my life and never experienced a fire in or next to a high rise,” he said. “That was fear-inducing. Just the sheer movement of hundreds of people being evacuated, I’d never experienced it.” The Chancellor and Gramercy apartment buildings in the 200 block of South 13th Street were evacuated in the early morning hours of Sept. 15 after a three-alarm fire broke out at a nearby restaurant. Officials believe the fire started at the former Letto Deli, 208 S. 13th St., which is under construction to become a French restaurant, Maison 208. The cause was still under investigation at presstime. No one was injured. Firefighters spent over an hour battling the blaze, residents said. Hallman said he and his neighbors from the 24-floor Chancellor gathered on the sidewalk outside the building for hours waiting for news. It was chilly and several people had left their apartments without shoes or shirts, PAGE 14 he said.

Gender-neutral bathrooms proposed for Philly By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com

Many single-use public bathrooms in Philadelphia could become gender neutral, pending an ordinance in City Council. Councilman Mark Squilla, who represents the First District including the Gayborhood, introduced the ordinance at Council’s Sept. 10 meeting. Council President Darrell L. Clarke referred the proposed ordinance to committee discussion. Supporters say the ordinance would make it easier for transgender and gender-nonconforming people to find a public restroom.

It’s also expected to help caretakers with opposite-sex charges and parents with children. “Philadelphia is a progressive city trying to meet the ever-changing needs of its residents and visitors,” Anne Kelly King, chief of staff for Squilla, wrote in an email to PGN. She said Nellie Fitzpatrick, director of the city’s Office of LGBT Affairs, approached Squilla with the idea. Earlier this year, Fitzpatrick helped launch the “Philly Gotta Go Guide,” an online resource that pinpoints public and commercial single-use, gender-neutral bathrooms on a Google map.

It’s available at http://ow.ly/ S39EM. “It became very obvious in speaking to individuals and looking at what we’ve done that there’s a need here,” Fitzpatrick said. The bathroom ordinance would apply to single rooms that include only one toilet and sink. The ordinance would amend the “Regulation of Businesses, Trades and Professions” section of the city code to require retail establishments, city-owned buildings and any entity that owns or leases a structure open to the public to mark all single-use bathrooms with PAGE 18

D.A. refuses to comply with Morris ruling By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office is appealing an order by the state Office of Open Records to provide certified copies of dispatch records pertaining to the Nizah Morris incident. On Sept. 14, the D.A.’s Office filed a notice of appeal in Philadelphia Common Pleas court. Morris was a transgender woman found with a fatal head injury in 2002, shortly after a “courtesy ride” by Officer Elizabeth Skala. Her homicide remains unsolved. Inexplicably, Skala initiated an unrelated traffic stop while assigned to handle Morris, who was intoxicated. Since 2009, PGN has tried to obtain complete dispatch records for Skala’s traffic stop from the D.A.’s Office. In 2014, the D.A.’s Office submitted an affidavit indicating its only complete dispatch record for the traffic stop was given to it by PGN. But that record is missing the traffic stop’s district-control number, date and time of occurrence, location and priority level. PGN contends the D.A.’s affidavit isn’t based on “actual knowledge,” as required

by law. So the paper requested a certified copy of the dispatch record at issue, in order to have someone at the D.A.’s Office with “actual knowledge” conduct a search. Last month, the OOR ordered the D.A.’s Office to comply with PGN’s request, but the agency refuses to do so. Babette Josephs, a member of the Justice for Nizah Committee, urged D.A. Seth Williams to comply with the OOR’s ruling. She also criticized that Williams continues to employ three staffers who were involved in a pornographic email ring described as “misogynistic,” “racist” and “homophobic.” “D.A. Seth Williams is just playing games with the citizens,” Josephs told PGN. In 2013, the city’s Police Advisory Commission recommended state and federal probes of the Morris case, citing an “appalling” local investigation. Law-enforcement authorities have refused to answer numerous questions about the case, including why Morris’ original incident-tracking numbers were voided; why an officer who investigated the incident didn’t write a police report; why police waited several days before notifying relatives; and why multiple 911 transmissions are missing. n

Attorney’s 15-year sentence for child molestation upheld By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com A federal appeals court has declined to overturn the conviction of Kenneth Schneider, a Philadelphia-area attorney who traveled to Russia with a 15-year-old boy to sexually abuse him. In October 2010, a jury convicted Schneider of traveling for the purpose of having sex with a minor and transporting a person for criminal sexual misconduct. The second conviction was set aside by U.S. District Judge Juan Sanchez in 2011. Schneider wanted the first conviction also set aside. But on Sept. 9, a three-judge panel of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the conviction. Schneider allegedly molested the boy for six years, beginning in 1998 when the boy was 12. He met the boy while working in Moscow, and subsidized his studies at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy. It’s PGN’s policy to not identify victims of sexual abuse. The victim said he had hundreds of sexual contacts with Schneider, but Schneider denied having any sexual contact with him. In 2001, Schneider traveled with the boy from Moscow to Philadelphia, then back to Moscow. Prosecutors contend the trip was part of Schneider’s overall strategy of having sexual contact with the boy. But Schneider claimed the trip was innocent, and provided an opportunity for the

boy to attend classes at the Rock School of Dance Education in South Philadelphia. In court papers, Schneider maintained Sanchez should have acquitted him of both criminal counts stemming from the trip. “It simply makes no sense for [Sanchez] to say that Schneider’s purpose in ‘transporting’ [the victim] back to Moscow was innocent while Schneider’s purpose in ‘traveling’ back to Moscow was a federal crime punishable by 15 years in prison,” Schneider’s appellate brief states. But the three-judge panel said the 2001 trip wasn’t entirely innocent. The panel said Schneider traveled back to Russia with the boy so that he could continue “to manipulate and abuse the victim.” In court papers, Schneider also contended the victim inaccurately described the curvature of Schneider’s penis to authorities. “[The victim’s] inability to provide an anatomically correct depiction and description of Schneider’s erect penis constitutes compelling evidence that [the victim] fabricated his allegations of sexual contact and thus strongly supports Schneider’s testimony that no improper sexual contact ever took place,” according to Schneider’s appellate brief. But the panel said Schneider could have surgically altered his penis prior to his incarceration, which began in May 2010. Schneider also contended the victim committed perjury when testifying in a PAGE 18 civil suit that he filed

Philly gets grant to help men of color with HIV By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com The Philadelphia Department of Public Health received a grant this month to help develop HIV prevention and care programs for gay and bisexual men and transgender people of color. The department is one of 17 organizations across the country to receive funding for HIV programs from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The grants totaled more than $185 million. It’s not clear exactly how much money will come to Philadelphia. The CDC provided $125 million to distribute over three years to state and local health departments to fund the use of two prevention strategies: pre-exposure prophylaxis, called PrEP, and antiretroviral treatment. The Department of Health and Human Services Secretary’s Minority AIDS Initiative Fund provided $60.5 million to distribute over four years for HIV-prevention methods specifically geared toward gay and bisexual men of color. Philadelphia’s funding comes through this initiative, according to the CDC. “While details of our plans for the funding are not ready as yet, this will be a great opportunity to serve MSM of color at risk for and living with HIV,” Jeff Moran, spokesman for the city’s health department, wrote in an email to PGN.

MSM are men who have sex with men, according to the CDC. Colman Terrell, director of the AIDS Activities Coordinating Office at the city’s health department, was not immediately available for comment, Moran said. The CDC said Philadelphia is receiving funding to develop comprehensive models of HIV prevention and care for gay and bisexual men of color. The grant is particularly aimed at helping black and Latino people, considered hard-hit populations by the CDC in terms of HIV infection. Projects could include coordinating multiagency demonstration projects or developing collaborative-service networks including community-based organizations, clinics, mental-health services, substance-abuse treatment providers and housing and employment-support services, according to a CDC news release. “Health departments representing communities with severe epidemics among MSM of color were eligible for this funding,” Nikki Mayes, a spokeswoman for the National Center for HIV/ AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention at the CDC, wrote in an email to PGN. She said she couldn’t speak about specific applications, but added, “Health departments receiving this funding were able to demonstrate a high level of burden among those populations.”

Obituary Lynn Zeitlin, longtime LGBT advocate, 74 By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Lynn G. Zeitlin, a longtime LGBT advocate, died Sept. 10 after a brief illness. She was 74 and lived in Narberth. Zeitlin was active in numerous LGBT organizations. She served as executive director of Equality Advocates (now Equality PA) and co-chair of Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia LGBT outreach effort Jewish Pride, and was active in Equality Forum, Liberty City LGBT Democratic Club, Justice for Nizah Committee and Philadelphia Bar Association’s LGBT Rights Committee. Zeitlin was diminutive and soft-spoken, but when she took on a cause, she was a fierce advocate, tapping into an extensive network

of contacts to get things done. “She was a dynamo,” said Robin Schatz, a longtime f r i e n d . “Everything she did, she embraced wholeheartedly. No matter what, she tackled it with total enthusiasm, passion and commitment.” Schatz recalled Zeitlin’s adroitness in securing the adoption of a pro-marriage-equality resolution by the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia. “The resolution accomplished the goal of saying people needed to be treated with dignity and

equality, which was exactly what Lynn was all about,” Schatz said. David G. Gold, co-chair of Jewish Pride, mourned the loss. “Lynn and I co-chaired Jewish Pride since 2013,” Gold said. “In the short time we co-chaired this group, she and I were able to bring together members of the LGBTQ Jewish community who have felt unconnected for many years. Lynn work tirelessly toward this goal. She loved her family and our community deeply.” Zeitlin had an abiding commitment to the Jewish community. She served as president of Jewish Social Policy Action Network, was active with the Anti-Defamation League and attended Main Line Reform Temple Beth Elohim. Nancy Baron-Baer, another friend of Zeitlin, said her death

leaves a void. “Lynn was committed for decades to improving the lives of others,” Baron-Baer said. “She worked hard for, and was passionate for, many causes. She’ll be sorely missed in the community.” Two years ago, when samesex marriage licenses became available in Montgomery County, Zeitlin and her longtime partner, Gabriela Assagioli, obtained a license and had a civil-marriage ceremony. Zeitlin told friends she was thrilled to be legally married and noted the happiness of the civil ceremony, which was attended by her children and grandchildren. Eight years earlier, Zeitlin and Assagioli had a Jewish wedding ceremony at Temple Beth Elohim.

“My thoughts are with Gabriela [and Zeitlin’s children] Robert, Karen and Lisagail as they reflect on Lynn’s life,” said state Sen. Daylin Leach, who officiated Zeitlin’s civil-marriage ceremony. “Lynn was a dogged advocate for LGBT rights, an admired leader in the Jewish community and a devoted friend. Hers is a legacy of justice, community and love.” At the time of her death, Zeitlin was in her second term as a commissioner of the Lower Merion Township Human Relations Commission. She received an undergraduate degree from then-Beaver College (now Arcadia University) in 1963, and a law degree from Villanova University in 1978. An accomplished attorney, Zeitlin worked in the field of law for more than 30 years. Most recently, she was employed at the Center City law firm of Spadea, Lanard & Lignana, specializing in real-estate and business transactions. Malcolm L. Lazin, another friend of Zeitlin, noted she was an out attorney at a time when there weren’t many. “She was among the very first openly gay attorneys in Philadelphia,” Lazin said. “It was not that long ago when there were very few attorneys willing to be out.” Ted Martin, executive director of Equality PA, expressed sadness over the deaths of Zeitlin and Jacob Kaskey, who also worked at Equality PA. “Both Lynn and Jake contributed to Equality PA’s work significantly, and losing both of them is a loss to the LGBT community,” Martin said, adding: “In our state, the LGBT community still has much work to do, but without the contributions of these two leaders, we would not be where we are today in Pennsylvania.” In addition to Assagioli, Zeitlin is survived by her son, Robert Zeitlin; her two daughters, Karen Grant and Lisagail Zeitlin; three grandsons and a granddaughter. Funeral services were held Sept. 13 at Main Line Reform Temple Beth Elohim in Wynnewood. Interment followed at Haym Salomon Memorial Park in Frazer. Contributions in Zeitlin’s memory may be made to Planned Parenthood or Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, earmarked for Jewish Pride. n

Play to explore LGBT, Catholic identities By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com While the inclusion of LGBT voices in this month’s World Meeting of Families and papal visit has been an ongoing source of contention, the intersection of LGBT and Catholic identities will be the primary focus of a theater production

prompting of Bishop Joseph Sullivan, who convened an Ad Hoc Committee on the Pastoral Care of Gays and Lesbians and their Families at the Diocese of Brooklyn. Sullivan was killed in an automobile accident in 2013. “We wanted to bring stories and real experiences into what had been sort of a theological, heady conversation that

A RECENT PRODUCTION OF “Full of grace: Journeys of lgbt catholics”

arriving in Philadelphia next week. “Full of Grace: Journeys of LGBT Catholics” is a docudrama based on interviews with several-dozen individuals from across the country about growing up, or living as, LGBT Catholics. There will be readings of the play by 95 North Productions from Sept. 22-25 at Christ Church Neighborhood House, 20 N. American St. The production runs concurrently with the World Meeting of Families, an international Catholic conference that will culminate with a visit from Pope Francis. The event has been shadowed by conflicts such as the barring of a coalition of LGBT groups from programming at a local Catholic Church and this summer’s firing of a lesbian religion teacher from a Catholic elementary school. The creators of “Full of Grace” interviewed that teacher, Margie Winters, and incorporated her story into the show. “From the very beginning, we envisioned this as a development piece,” said co-creator Robert Choiniere, a former Philadelphian. “We try to incorporate local voices wherever we take the show. When I saw what happened to Margie, I said, ‘Here’s a voice we don’t have: the professional lay minister excluded from ministry.’ We want to continue adding new voices as we go along.” Choiniere and playwright Scott Barrow conceived of the show in 2012, at the

seemed to be distanced from actual people’s experiences,” Choiniere said. “So we thought that, using theater, we could gather these stories and create a space of compassion, listening and empathy.” Choiniere said there have been few opportunities for such conversations to happen within Catholic spaces. “These conversations were just being shut down,” he said. “And the role of the Church is supposed to be to allow people to listen to one another. So we wanted to listen to those stories.” Choiniere and Barrow amassed more than 30 stories, whose tellers run the gamut: from a 19-year-old college student to a 76-year-old to middle-aged folks who talk about living in New York City during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. The play includes accounts from gay priests and lesbian moms and even from the opposition, with a member of Courage, a Catholic organization that views samesex attraction as an impediment to spirituality. Choiniere said the feedback from their performances has largely included gratitude. “I think people are like, this is water in the desert. There have been no places to have these open conversations, so people are very attentive,” he said. “We always have a talkback after the performances and people talk about how they really connected with a certain character

or were frustrated by another character. That’s what we want; if everybody leaves happy and warm, we haven’t done our job.” Bringing the play to Philadelphia at the time of the conference and papal visit was intentional, Choiniere said, but was not meant to stir controversy. Many of the play’s interviewees are from the Equally Blessed Coalition, whose members relayed to the “Full of Grace” creators that they were facing barriers in accessing the World Meeting of Families. “So we said, ‘If this conversation is not happening in this medium, we want to help facilitate it.’ We don’t want to be confrontational or in their face, but at the same time, we want to say, ‘This is what we do as a Christian community: We listen to each other’s experiences.’” Listening to the voices portrayed in the play, Choiniere noted, could be a powerful teaching tool for Catholic hierarchy resistant to LGBT inclusion. “I think it’s incredibly important to see the tenacity and the faith of these people who are willing to sit in the hot spot and not leave this community and abandon their faith, but at the same time not abandon their identity. These are valuable, prophetic voices the Church needs to hear to authentically be the Church,” he said. While the play promotes LGBT inclu-

sion in faith circles, it also allows for open discussion about spirituality within LGBT circles. “I don’t know what’s more difficult: to be gay and walk into a Catholic Church or to be Catholic and walk into a gay bar. There’s a lot of closeted Catholics in gay bars in Philadelphia, New York, all around the country, and they can’t speak the truth about their struggle. There’s no environment for them to grapple with these two pulls of their identities.” That’s a struggle, Choiniere added, that has been felt by LGBT people of many faith communities. Community-building, across all types of denominations and identities, he added, is a key mission of “Full of Grace.” “We originally thought of bringing in different religions into the play because I think if we heard stories from LGBT Muslims or LGBT Orthodox Jews, we would hear very similar things,” Choiniere said. “These are themes that are universal and I think if we can develop some degree of solidarity, that’s what we need. We want to reach anyone who has ever thought they were alone and show them that they’re not.” n For more information on “Full of Grace” or to purchase tickets, visit www. fullofgraceplay.com.

William Way to celebrate 40th at Indigo Ball By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com The folks at the William Way LGBT Community Center are expecting a big turn out for the annual Indigo Ball next month. The new venue for the community center’s biggest fundraiser is the National Constitution Center, 525 Arch St., which can hold 500 people, up from the 350 people who could attend the event in previous years. “It’s great to expose more people to our causes,” said Chris Bartlett, executive director of William Way. “To me, it’s a celebration of what I view as the center of the community, the place where so many of the LGBT ideas in the community have been germinated.” Tickets cost $250 to attend the ball, from 6:30-11:30 p.m. Oct. 10. That includes an open-bar reception sponsored by Bacardi, a three-course dinner with wine selections provided by Barefoot and an hour-and-ahalf of dancing. Dress is formal. Corporate partners include PECO, Comcast, MetLife and MediaCopy. “Speaking Out for Equality,” an exhibit detailing the intersection of gay rights with the Constitution and Supreme Court, will be on display during the event. William Way developed it in conjunction with the Constitution Center. The exhibit won’t be the only celebration of history. William Way will commemorate its 40th

anniversary with a preview of its video project called “40 Years, 40 Stories,” produced by Kelly Burkhardt and Peter Lien. Some of the finished videos are available on YouTube channel WilliamWayCC or at www.waygay40.org. A short compilation will be shown at Indigo Ball, highlighting the best of the interviews they have conducted this year, Burkhardt said. She and Lien talked to people who have been influential to William Way’s history, from lifelong LGBT activist John Cunningham and the Rev. Jeffrey Haskins to Judge Ann Butchart and state Rep. Brian Sims. “We’re documenting these stories of people that have been involved in the center so future generations will be able to see it,” Burkhardt said, “so younger queers and future community leaders will be able to see it and be inspired.” “The center is this melting pot that really just fosters community and will keep our community strong,” added Burkhardt, who identifies as a lesbian, dyke, queer and gay. “As long as our center is strong, our community will be strong. The LGBT community in Philadelphia is the strongest I’ve ever seen it.” Burkhardt noted a lot of movers and shakers in the city’s LGBT community might never have met and collaborated had it not been for William Way.

Creep of the Week

Editorial

Five years later On Sept. 22, 2010, Tyler Clementi, a Rutgers University freshman, ended his life. In the five years since his tragic death, his family has likely been through hell, and his friends and classmates have surely grappled with regrets. Apart from that personal grief, the story is compounded by the notion that the world of today is a wholly different place than it was in 2010 — and that, had the progress that our community and country has made been accelerated by just a few years, the promising young musician might still be here today. Shortly after Clementi’s suicide, the New Jersey legislature, in a nearly unanimous vote, adopted a law tightening the state’s anti-bullying laws. Numerous pro-LGBT federal initiatives have been introduced to combat bullying and harassment, including one named for Clementi. Colleges and high schools across the country have taken more active positions on campus harassment. Rutgers itself launched an LGBT center on campus, enacted new antibullying policies and gender-neutral housing options. Clementi’s parents created a national foundation dedicated to combating bullying and harassment of LGBT youth. The organization advocates for public-policy initiatives to protect youth, offers trainings for workplaces and school communities and engages people in antibullying initiatives, such as its Day1 Campaign, which has caught on at college campuses throughout the nation, including locally. Shortly after Clementi’s death, the “It Gets Better” campaign launched by Dan Savage began rapidly gaining steam. Sports teams, politicians, Hollywood stars and everyday Americans joined the chorus that continues to tell LGBT youth and others that progress is a reality. With national marriage equality, a growing call for nondiscrimination laws, highly placed LGBT public officials, the incorporation of LGBT individuals and issues into mainstream entertainment and more, that reality has come to fruition — which makes Clementi’s death even more tragic. The five years that have passed since Clementi’s suicide have collectively illustrated that evolution is possible. It’s now incumbent upon our community and country to not lose sight of the fervor that made that movement possible — but rather to use that momentum to keep changing laws and policies, and hearts and minds. And hopefully save lives. n

Welcoming the pope without condoning discrimination A large national Catholic coalition will not be allowed to congregate in the parish they had long been promised during the World Meeting of Families happening in Philadelphia next week. It was not a logistical screw-up. The group of LGBT families was forced from that and all other Catholic parishes in the area because of whom they love. As a lifelong Catholic, I am furious at my Church. But, for a moment, let’s temporarily disregard the argument about how fundamentally flawed the Catholic Church’s position on LGBT individuals is. That topic has been well written on by others. Instead, let’s discuss what cities like Philadelphia can do in the future to ensure that momentous events like a papal visit will not be stained by discrim-

ination. It is true that the city cannot demand that a parish admit LGBT families. However, the host city asserts significant sway over with whom the pope interacts. Extensive preparations, for example, are being made to ensure that homeless Philadelphians are not being displaced by the pope’s visit. Can arrangements not also be made to ensure LGBT individuals are not ostracized? During his trip to Philadelphia, the pope will visit a prison, Independence Hall and the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, in addition to attending a number of private receptions. The city could certainly facilitate an opportunity at any one of those events, public or private, for LGBT Catholics to speak to the

pope and make their case for inclusion. Alternatively, the city could borrow a play from President Obama’s recent trip to Kenya, in which he condemned the government for their treatment of LGBT citizens during a press conference with the country’s leadership. Philadelphia’s Mayor Nutter and the pope will no doubt have public or at least private face time. I urge the mayor to use that as an opportunity to make a stand on behalf of the LGBT Philadelphians who elected him. It’s important to clarify that Philadelphia’s city government should be praised for attracting this once-in-a-lifetime event. Despite being the fifth-largest city in the country, Philadelphia has been too often relegated to second-tier status by national observers.

With the pope’s visit this month and the DNC Convention in 2016, that assumption is being challenged in no small part because of the efforts and achievements of the Nutter administration. However, as the mayor well knows, our principles do not need to be sacrificed for the limelight. As the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection, Philadelphia should send a signal that discrimination has no place in our borders. Being a good host doesn’t require being a doormat and, more importantly, being a good elected official means fighting for the rights of everyone you represent. n Jim F. Kenney is the Democratic nominee for mayor of Philadelphia.

Day in the Life of ... By SJ Punderson PGN Contributor When Jessica DiLullo is hiking through Fairmount Park in high heels, people take notice. The stares come from any number of visual zingers that take the average bystander by surprise. “Is that a bride?” a couple asked. The pin-up model/nanny/blogger’s lips are painted a deep, soulful red. “Russian red,” DiLullo calls it. DiLullo’s hair is dark brown and she wears colors that seem to be plucked from a pinwheel, comfortable yellows and aggressive greens that pop from her vintage-inspired skirt, peasant top and heels. The thermometer reads 98 degrees with an excessive heat warning but DiLullo doesn’t seem to be affected. Her porcelain skin completes her look, that of a pin-up girl. Popularized in the 1930s and ’40s by painter Alberto Vargas and illustrator Gil Elvgren, two of the most well-known artists in the field, this particular look portrayed women as simultaneously wholesome and sexual — the ideal of femininity in its heyday. Pin-up drawings and paintings were mass-produced to create posters that were “pinned-up” and became popular during World War II. More than half a century later, DiLullo, 24, is trying to resurrect the art. However, modeling pin-up clothing wasn’t always on her radar. “Five years ago I was chubby, in a bad relationship, a little bit in denial about being gay and dating a guy. It really wasn’t working for me,” she said. She discovered Pinup Girl Clothing online, made by women, for women. “I thought, if they can look like that, then I can too.” The company, based in Los Angeles, has nearly a million likes on Facebook. The owners and designers pride themselves on open dialogue with their customers. “I ordered my first dress and never looked back,” DiLullo said. “At first, I’d go out like this in public and people would ask if I was going to a costume party. I’d say, ‘No, this is how I dress.’ Over the years, I’ve gotten way more into it.” In 2012, she launched her blog, “Warning: Curves Ahead.” It began as a lingerie blog but quickly morphed into something more. She learned how to fit herself for vintage clothing, like petticoats and dresses, and started putting her own personal style into the clothing she modeled, attire with feminine silhouettes and sassy curves. Companies began to send DiLullo samples to review; if she didn’t like something, she wouldn’t pitch it to her readers.

PERSONALITIES PGN

a pin-up model, Jessica DiLullo The blog doesn’t generate any revenue, but through her own journey to becoming more self-confident, DiLullo wants to support other women who are interested in wearing pin-up clothes. In Philadelphia, the pin-up scene is anchored by DiLullo’s friend, photographer Celeste Giuliano, who holds the largest ’50s-era party in Philadelphia each year, the Pin-Up Peepshow. “Pin-ups celebrate the everyday girl,” Giuliano said. “I have seen women of all shapes, sizes, color, ages and sexual orientations enjoy the confidence-building experience of being a pin-up.” That experience is an everyday exercise for DiLullo, who builds her passion for pin-up fashion around her daily routine. It is Monday morning and DiLullo’s alarm is going off. Even pin-up models need to work. “Coffee, coffee, coffee,” said DiLullo. “I get dressed, walk the dog and then more coffee. I jet out the door (don’t forget, coffee to go!) and am at work by 8:15 a.m.” She is a full-time nanny for a family in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood. The “city cool” parents, as she describes them, have a 14-month-old daughter. “She’s the kind of kid who moves right through obstacles instead of finding a way around them,” said DiLullo. “I started with her when she was six months old; there is something incredible about watching a child grow from day one, the bond is so unique. Since then, she’s morphed into

my little partner in crime. We do everything together, from play dates to picnics in the park.” Although DiLullo admits that being a full-time nanny doesn’t lend itself to dressing in pricey, vintage pin-up clothing, she still finds the time. “If there’s a day I know I’m not going to end up covered in peanut butter, I try my best to dress like I would on a normal day [in pin-up clothing]. I obviously don’t spend each workday in a petticoat, but I try to stay true to myself while still allowing room for play.” Outside of work, DiLullo sometimes meets people who don’t quite understand what she does. “Sometimes I get scoffs and

eye rolls when I tell people what I do for a living. Not everyone understands how physically and emotionally draining the job can be. Being a nanny comes with many of the responsibilities of being a parent, but without many of the perks,” she said. “I’ve lost contact with previous nanny-kids after jobs ended, and it was absolutely soul-crushing. I’m not just a babysitter; I’m a woman who comes into a home and pours my whole heart and soul into helping raise, protect and love the children I care for. I think that deserves a lot more credit than the general public gives us nannies.”

Similarly, her pin-up work has also been misunderstood. “With modern-day feminism, there’s an attack on femininity. My interpretation of feminism is that I have the ability to choose how I want to dress and act. It’s hard to be a straight-passing lesbian. People tell me I don’t look gay. But what does gay look like? Do they think when you become a lesbian you get flannel and boots in the lesbian starter pack? I love dresses and high heels, makeup and women.” Luckily for DiLullo, her girlfriend, Laura, who’s a bit more androgynous, understands. They plan to get married and have their own kids one day. “I don’t think I could date another hard-core femme like myself. Imagine how long it would take us both to get out of the house,” she laughed. Back at the Horticultural Center in Fairmount Park, DiLullo is surrounded by cherry blossom branches and extra-large playing cards that hang from invisible strings for a photo shoot with her best friend and photographer, Sarah King. She is all focus. DiLullo has just completed her third wardrobe change of the day and is wearing an “Alice in Wonderland”-themed Pinup Girl skirt — fitting, considering her line of work. “My style is about being myself. Life is too short to consider other people’s judgments every time I get dressed. I want to dress for myself. Every person should.” n For more information on DiLullo, visit warningcurvesahead.com.

Wedding Paul Steinke and David Ade By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com While some blind dates end with disaster stories, the setup worked well for Paul Steinke and David Ade — who, after more than two decades together, tied the knot earlier this month. Steinke, 51, and Ade, 48, wed Sept. 4 in Provincetown, Mass. Steinke, a Northeast Philadelphia native, is the former general manager of Reading Terminal Market, who stepped down at the beginning of this year to run for Philadelphia City Council. Ade is a native of Montoursville, who moved to Philadelphia about 30 years ago. He is a partner at SMP Architects, which led renovations on U Bar and Tavern on Camac. The pair met in 1995 at the prompting of mutual friend Steve Duross, now co-owner of Gayborhood shop Duross & Langel. “At the time, he was cutting hair at Cut on 13th Street and I was in there and he asked if I was seeing anyone and, when I said no, he suggested I might be interested in meeting David,” Steinke recalled. They set up a date at the now-defunct Waldorf Cafe at 20th and Lombard streets. Steinke said when Ade came to his front door, he immediately recognized him from

community functions — and the pair shared an instant connection. “He was really attractive and fun to talk to,” Steinke said. “Things went really well.” At the restaurant, they were seated next to two friends of Steinke. “It was clear he knows a lot of people in Philadelphia; we were seated next to friends of his who sort of joined in our first date at points,” laughed Ade. “He loved to talk and it was clear from that point what a genuine person he was.” They quickly set up a second date, at Marigold Dining Room in University City, which ended up being just a block-and-ahalf from the house the couple would purchase together three years later. Steinke said the pair balances one another well, which has contributed to their longevity. “I think it’s about caring for one another, yet at the same time giving each other the space to pursue our career goals and hobbies,” he said. “We recognize where we have commonalities and we recognize how

we’re different. And we work that into our relationship. And somehow, 20 years have gone by.” Over the years, Ade said, they have also drawn strength from family and friends. “We have a strong group of friends and supportive families,” he said. It was in preparing for a trip to Provincetown to visit their friends Jim Epstein and Tom Hess, a Philadelphia couple with a vacation home in the Massachusetts town, that they began considering marrying. They had discussed tying the knot when Pennsylvania legalized marriage equality but Steinke’s Council campaign was time-consuming and not conducive to wedding-planning, he said. After he lost his bid this past spring, they picked up the conversation again. “The idea emerged to get married in Provincetown and sort of dispense with all that uncertainty about details of a big ceremony in Philadelphia. And we increasingly warmed to the idea,” Steinke said. “Provincetown is a special place to both of us; we’ve been going every few years since

we’ve been together and just love it there.” In August, the couple purchased rings from Safian & Rudolph on Jeweler’s Row and contacted a justice of the peace in Provincetown, Susan Brand. They headed to Massachusetts a few days before Labor Day and applied for their license and then had to appear before a judge to request the three-day waiting period be waived, which was granted. They married in an intimate ceremony on the porch of Epstein and Hess’ house, with a view of Provincetown harbor. They spent several more days in the beachside town before returning home. Both said that, while their 20-year relationship hasn’t changed much since the marriage, the wedding’s symbolic impact has gradually evinced itself. “I now have a ring on my finger and it’s a sort of security, a legal contract, that not only do we have the support of each other, our friends and family, but also the support of the government,” Ade said. “Wearing the ring makes me more aware of our longtime commitment,” added Steinke. “The knowledge that he has pledged himself to me in marriage gives me a good feeling. It wasn’t something I knew I was missing until I had it. And now I really appreciate it.” n

Hallman said the Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management arrived about 7:30 a.m. to hand out blankets and other supplies. Emergency personnel later told residents of the first seven floors that they could not inhabit their apartments because of broken or melted windows, he said. It’s unclear how many residents were displaced from the six-floor Gramercy building. Woody’s bar opened around 9 a.m. and invited residents inside. Staff brought out bottles of water and let people use the bathroom. Hallman said the power was out at the bar, but it was still nice for everyone to have a place to sit and collect their thoughts. Just before 11 a.m., Hallman was allowed to reenter his apartment for 15 minutes. He grabbed his laptop, phone charger and some clothes. The door to his apartment had been splintered with an axe, but otherwise there was no damage. Hallman said he’s not sure when he’ll be able to return to his apartment. He said he was happy everyone was able to get out of the building unharmed, especially the older residents and those with disabilities. n

A changing landscape for LgBT veterans According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, there are more than 12-million veterans now over the age of 65, having served in global conflicts as far back as World War II. While they may not have been “out” during their years of service, we can be quite sure that many of these older vets identify as LGBT. Veterans of all sexual orientations and gender identities experience a wide range of physical and mental-health needs resulting from their military service. Many of these challenges are particularly pronounced for LGBT veterans due to experiences of discrimination and David stigma. The Veterans Health Administration suggests that LGBT veterans experience a lower overall health status than other veterans, encountering even higher rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, sexually transmitted diseases and some cancers. LGBT veterans are also less likely than other veterans to seek routine and preventative health care. While many of these disparities persist, the services available to LGBT veterans have undoubtedly improved in the past

decade. In Philadelphia, the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center has taken significant steps toward creating a more welcoming and inclusive environment for LGBT people. An LGBT Inclusion Initiative, a national project developed by the Veterans Administration, aims to improve the VA’s LGBT cultural competency. The LGBT Inclusion Initiative has targeted projects such as advocating for unisex bathrooms, increasing the representation of LGBT people in the VA’s promotional materials and adjusting the language used during intake processes to be more “We want Griffith LGBT-inclusive. to be sure we are creating an inclusive environment, that we are raising awareness about the kinds of discrimination experienced by LGBT people and that we can be a safe place for veterans to get high-quality health care,” stated Dr. Joan Ryan, the coordinator of the LGBT Inclusion Initiative at the Crescenz VA Medical Center. Ryan views continuing to educate staff and providers as a critical step in ensuring culturally sensitive services for LGBT vets. She highlights training

modules available for primary and specialty-care providers at the VA that “help them ask the appropriate questions to get at the medical needs of this population.” Additional trainings have focused on how to be an ally to LGBT people and raise visibility for the needs of these communities. Ryan said many VA staffers have hung rainbow ribbons on their office doors or wearing them as pins as a way to identify themselves as allies. This work has not gone unnoticed by LGBT veterans in Greater Philadelphia. Keith Ockimey, a 52-year-old gay man, praised the improvement in the services available to LGBT veterans. Ockimey served in the Army for 23 years and felt the sting of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. “In the beginning it was challenging,” he said. “There was a lot of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’ There was a lot of ostracization. I suffered through it for 23 years.” Despite the policy, Ockimey was open about his sexual orientation to VA providers since first accessing services in 1993. He noted there has been a palpable difference in the VA’s LGBT acceptance. “You can actually see the difference. You can see a lot of people who care about your well being,” he said. Ockimey pointed to the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in 2010 as a sig-

nificant shift in the way that LGBT veterans have been able to access services. Now in his 50s, Ockimey is confident in the level of care he will receive as he gets older. “As I grow older, different things happen to me physically and mentally. As I combat those problems, I’ve gotten nothing but professionalism from the staff here.” With the aging of the Baby Boomer generation, the number of LGBT veterans relying on the VA is increasingly rapidly. The VA’s ability to continue to progress toward even greater LGBT acceptance will be essential in ensuring that these veterans are able to access the level of care they need and deserve. n David Griffith is a recent MSW graduate from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice and a former intern with the LGBT Elder Initiative. The LGBTEI fosters and advocates for services, resources and institutions that are competent, culturally sensitive, inclusive and responsive to the needs of LGBT elders in the Delaware Valley.

News Briefing Atheist to speak in Center City Two days before Pope Francis visits Philadelphia, renowned atheist Annie Laurie Gaylor will speak about religion’s impact on women’s rights. Gaylor, 59, is co-founder of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the largest association of atheists and agnostics in country. The group is based in Madison, Wisc. Gaylor is the author of several books pertaining to atheism, including “Betrayal of Trust: Clergy Abuse of Children” and “Woe to the Women: The Bible Tells Me So.” Her upcoming talk is entitled, “Why Women Need Freedom From Religion.” The Freethought Society and the Ethical Humanist Society are sponsoring Gaylor’s presentation. “We extend a warm welcome to the LGBT community, and urge everyone to attend,” said Margaret A. Downey, president of the Freethought Society. “Religion is at the root of women’s inequality. And it’s at the root of LGBT inequality. The same religious issues that negatively affect women also negatively affect the LGBT community.” Gaylor’s talk, which is free, begins 7 p.m. Sept. 24 at the Ethical Humanist Society of Philadelphia, 1906 Rittenhouse Square. For more information, contact Downey at Margaret@ FTSociety.org.

LGBT Jewish event scheduled Jewish Pride, an LGBT outreach effort of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, is sponsoring a harvest festival known as “SukkOUT.” The festival, traditionally referred to as Sukkot, also commemorates the 40-year period when Jews wandered in the desert during Biblical times, before reaching Israel. SukkOUT will be held 6-8 p.m. Sept. 30 in the lobby of the John C. Anderson Apartments, 251 S. 13th St. Prior to the event, organizers will create a Sukkah, a hut made of wood and bamboo. The hut symbolizes the primitive shelters used by Jews as they wandered in the desert. “One of the customs is to invite guests into your Sukkah,” said Warren Hoffman, an organizer. “Everyone is welcome into our Sukkah, regardless of your sexual orientation or gender identity.” Hoffman added: “We’re going to have

a nice harvest-inspired assortment of appetizers and beverages. Everything will be vegetarian. We’re welcoming everybody. We hope to see the entire community there.” Tickets are $18 in advance; after Sept. 23, tickets are $25. For more information, go to jewishphilly.org/SukkOUT. — Tim Cwiek

Bisexual Pride flag to be raised In honor of Bisexual Visibility Day, the city and the William Way LGBT Community Center will raise the Bisexual Pride flag Sept. 23. The event will take place at 5:30 p.m. at the center, 1315 Spruce St. The festivities will include a performance by Shannon Turner, who recently won “Josh Schonewolf Presents The Show,” as well as complimentary food and beverages. For more information or to get involved, email Eric Thomas at ethomas@waygay. org. — Jen Colletta

Parental group returns A workshop for LGB women and transgender people interested in becoming parents will be held the end of September. The eight-week program, called “Maybe Baby,” starts Sept. 28 from 6-7:30 p.m. and runs every Monday night through Nov. 16. The first session was launched earlier this year. Sessions take place at the Therapy Center of Philadelphia, 1315 Walnut St. The program is organized through a partnership of the Therapy Center of Philadelphia and Philadelphia Family Pride. Dr. Monique Walker and Julie Lipson, a board-certified music therapist, will facilitate group discussions. Participants are encouraged to share their challenges and successes. They will talk about medical and legal issues involved in assisted reproduction. Information about adoption will also be part of the program. It costs $240 for a couple or $120 for an individual if they are members of Philadelphia Family Pride. Nonmembers pay $320 for a couple or $160 for an individual. Philadelphia Family Pride memberships cost $25 a year. A similar program for cisgender men is also expected to start in the fall at another location. Details are still being worked out.

tion goes on to denounce the “substantial undermining of human dignity and human rights wrought by the [Commonwealth Court’s] decision.” If left standing, the ruling would “leave hundreds of thousands of Philadelphia passengers and employees without a remedy against many forms of discrimination,” the city contends. In addition, the petition states, Commonwealth Court “mangled” the law of sovereign immunity as applied to SEPTA. “Commonwealth Court’s holding that sovereign immunity completely immunizes SEPTA from compliance with local ordiBATHROOM from page 1

The ordinance suggests using signs that say “Restroom,” “Bathroom” or “Toilet.” Fitzpatrick said many businesses currently provide single-use bathrooms and have marked them with “W.C.” (water closet). Establishments that have artwork showing men or women on their bathroom facilities would not have to remove the images, but must add signs to make it clear the bathroom is open to anyone. “This is just one small, simple step in the very-right direction,” Fitzpatrick said. “We all pee, we all use the restroom, we all have the right to do that in peace.” If the ordinance passes, any establishMOLESTATION from page 2

But the panel concurred with the government’s contention that evidence of Schneider’s child molestation was “overwhelming.” The panel also rejected Schneider’s claim that federal charges against him were filed outside of prosecutable time limits. Schneider, 50, remains incarcerated at a federal prison in Ft. Dix, N.J. His scheduled

Say It Ain’t So Seth One thing missing from DA’s porn investigation: the truth

n Sept. 4, 2015, just before 5 p.m., District Attorney Seth Williams concluded his investigation of the three deputies from his office who sent and received pornographic emails, which were uncovered by Attorney General Kathleen Kane during her investigation of the Jerry Sandusky prosecution. The statement serves as Williams’ explanation for giving his deputies sensitivity training rather than a boot out the door. The following is a point-by-point analysis of Williams’ statement. The statement begins as one would expect, with an expression of offense, disappointment and anger that “these messages were considered acceptable.” But what is so flawed about this opening paragraph is what’s missing: no offense taken that these guys were emailing porn on state computers and on state time; no concern that these guys were prosecuting a pedophile at the same time they are emailing a picture of a young boy looking down the shorts of a young girl; no outrage that this email chain went between pros-

ecutors and judges. Following the statement of faux outrage, Williams gives us four paragraphs of procedural pablum about how easy it would be to fire these guys, his obligations to conscience, city, and DA employees, and process.

Will Williams re-evaluate his disciplinary measures if, in fact, more materials come to light? It is in the process that Williams’ statement begins to factually unravel. Paragraph 5, “[w]e also questioned people they worked for, people they worked with, and people who worked for them…in the Attorney General’s Office.” Well, Mr. Williams, in the AGs office they all worked for Tom Corbett whose reaction to these emails was outrage stating, “I wish they

would have sent me one … because it would have stopped right then and there.” We’re pretty sure Corbett didn’t mean he would send these guys to sensitivity training. We’re also pretty sure Seth Williams did not talk to him. We’re also pretty sure he didn’t talk to Dianne Buckwash. Who is she? Buckwash is a female agent who one year ago, according to HuffPo, “alleged in a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that the men in the attorney general’s office held all the power, women were rarely promoted and executives in the Criminal Law Division were known to email around photos of nude women and ‘adults engaged in sex acts.’” The AG’s Office paid her $15,000 to settle this claim. Not only does Buckwash’s public statement beg the question of whether the investigation even bothered to pick up the phone and call her, but, if they did speak to her, how could the statement in paragraph 9, that these “derogatory…email[s] were not reflective in the work relationships of these specific employees,” be true. Did Buckwash excuse Fina, Costanza, and Blessington from the pornographic emails out

of which her EEOC complaint arose? Further, in Paragraph 5 Williams uses a strange and perhaps telling qualifier in outlining his process stating, “we reviewed all e-mail communications still available (emphasis added) from their time in my employment.” What emails sent or received by these guys were not available to the District Attorney? And while we’re on this topic, AG Kane’s public statement two weeks ago indicated that the Supreme Court did not release all the materials related to the pornographic emails traffic. Will Williams re-evaluate his disciplinary measures if, in fact, more materials come to light; materials that were not disclosed to him by these guys during his investigation? Perhaps the most intellectually dishonest segment of this statement riddled with such, comes in paragraph 7: Continued on page 2 S E P T. 1 3 - 2 0 , 2 0 1 5

Say It Ain’t So Seth Continued from page 1 “none of these hundreds of employees [involved in Porngate] were ever disciplined for improper e-mail activity during the years in question, either by the previous or by the present attorney general.” The absurdity of this statement is offensive. The attorneys general when these emails were circulated were Tom Corbett and Linda Kelly. They did not discipline any employees at the time because, as they have both said publicly, they did not know they existed. The current AG could not have disciplined employees during the

years in question because she was not the AG. However, since she took office, you’ll find that of the 31 employees in the AGs office, Kane fired, suspended, or disciplined over two dozen. In addition, the activity for which Williams finds it appropriate to keep these guys on the DA payroll has led to the forced resignation of four Corbett administration employees, and the suspension and forced retirement of a Supreme Court Justice. But, like so much truth, you will not find it anywhere in Williams statement.

Fords Can Score Continued from page 12 few saw them scoring 50 points in their opener. “I just think knowing that I don’t have to be the hero and create big plays on my own helped me have a strong offensive game,” said Carter, who threw for a career-high five touchdowns. “We still have a lot of good players from last year and a lot of guys who proved ready to step up.” One of those guys is the school’s lacrosse star Dox Aitken, a senior who caught three touchdowns against Del-Val. He committed to play lacrosse at Virginia as a ninth grader, and is considered one of the best high school players in the country in that sport. “He’s a phenomenal athlete,” said Carter. “I know I can throw it and he will come down with it. He takes the pressure off. He can definitely play football at Virginia, too, if he wanted to.” Carter knows the rest of the league will be aiming for

the Fords who dominated the division last season. Malvern Prep and Springside Chestnut Hill will be two teams that will bear watching. Both had impressive opening week wins. The Fords’ quarterback is acting like he isn’t worried right now. “I know we can play better and we’ll improve as the year goes on,” said Carter. “Right now, we’re literally just taking it one game at a time.” Carter added that he has been preparing for a strong season ever since training camp in August. “Every year during our pre-season summer sleepover camp, my best/worst memory is hearing our coach [Mike Murphy] blow the whistle to tell us, ‘rise and shine, it’s a great day to be a Ford.’” That was on Sept. 5. Carter and his teammates hope it will continue to be that way.

“Made in America” dazzles once more. The annual Ben Franklin Parkway revel draws record-breaking crowds by HughE Dillon Over Labor Day Weekend, the much loved, Jay Z curated concert “Made in America” returned to Philly for the fourth time, breaking attendance records with over 130,000 people who came out to the two-day event. Each day the acts would take to one of five stages on the festival grounds along the Ben Franklin Parkway. Headliners J.Cole, Big Sean and the much-anticipated Beyoncé performed on the Rocky Stage, the largest of the five stages located at the foot of the Art Museum Steps. The festival also boasted several beer gardens, food trucks, a charity area, games and the popular carnival swing ride, which was set up in the middle of the festival grounds. In a press conference, Mayor Nutter said that it was one of the most successful events and it would be back again next year.

Fords Can Score Returning players plus a lacrosse star bolster a capable team

Martin Luther King Learns from a Power Ed Dunn feels that to be a contender in the Public League, and hopefully the PIAA AAAA playoffs, his team needs to play teams who are already at that caliber. The Cougars dropped their opener 42-14, Sept 4, at Coatesville, a perennial PIAA power who lost just

one game last season. It was a loss on paper, but a win for preparing for the season. “Whenever you play a really good team, they shine a light on the areas you most need to improve,” said Dunn. “We need to see ourselves evolving into a team that can compete at a state level if we continue to grow and work hard. We need to work on a lot, but the fundamentals of blocking, tackling, and ball security are most important.” He added that defensive lineman Nate Sutton and offensive lineman Emili Medley both stepped up with solid games versus Coatesville. Dunn is hoping that teams from the city can learn from these experiences so that Public League teams, other than Imhotep Charter, can compete and fare well in the statewide playoffs in December. “The Public League is becoming more and more well rounded and competitive, as teams are beginning to close the gap between the traditional public league powers and the Catholic League,” he said.

that Las Vegas odds makers touted Penn State as a seven-point favorite. Next, Penn State had more fans among the 69,000 plus at Lincoln Financial Field even though it was a home game for Temple. And lastly, Penn State is led by Christian Hackenberg, one of the top quarterbacks in the country. Yet when the clock read 0:00, it was Temple celebrating with a monumental 27-10 nationally televised win that sent shock waves across the Delaware Valley and the North Broad Street campus. “It was a great day to be a Temple Owl,” said coach Matt Rhule. “It was great for our fans, alumni, players, staff, faculty, and the city of Philadelphia. The fact that it was on national TV was great for us, too. It themselves in a respectful manner while we played a winning football game against a program like Penn State.” Rhule said that winning the game was a bonus, as many potential recruits attended the game as well. “Win, lose, or draw, I think it was a great game for our [potential] recruits to watch. It was a great environment to see big-time college football at the Linc, in the city. This is what college football can be here.” How did Rhule celebrate afterwards? “One thing I wanted to do was to go see [former Temple ] coach [Wayne] Hardin in the parking lot afterwards and shake hands with him and [fans, alums], and former coaches and players who were there,” he said. “Coach Hardin is a Hall of Famer and he supports us no matter what, so that was a great moment. From there, me and some of the coaches ate at a restaurant in South Philly, and I came home and started to get ready for Cincinnati [The Owls were scheduled to play at the highly rated Bearcats on Sept. 12].” Temple’s defense had 10 sacks against the highly touted Hackenberg. “Everyone is

Peaches electrifies By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com It’s been too long since the sexually fluid electro-pop/rock dynamo known as Peaches unloaded an album onto our ready and willing ears (six years, to be exact, since the amazing 2009 “I Feel Cream”). But that wait is over. Peaches’ latest album, “Rub,” comes out Sept. 25, delivering another high-octane dose of funky, danceable and gloriously filthy mechanized pop. It’s about time too. Since the tour for her last album ended, Peaches hasn’t been idle, as she was starring in projects like her semi-biographical concert film “Peaches Does Herself,” a coffee-table book documenting her travels and performance-art projects and in musicals (“Jesus Christ Superstar”) and films (“Ivory Tower”). Peaches said she thinks her fans appreciate seeing her versatility when she steps into different artistic arenas. “I think they are very open to it,” she said. “It’s something different. It’s another way to look at an artist that you like and give them more dimension. Yes, I make music as Peaches and tour as Peaches, but doing other projects is an incredible opening for me, whether it is a contemporary-art context or opera or musical or band or video. I’ve directed a lot of my own videos from the beginning and I’m going to make a video for every song on this album. That is exciting for me to realize all these different ways to express creativity and be the message.” Peaches said these projects outside of music, in a way, helped get her focused

on songwriting. “I would say what all of that did for me was get it out of my system so I could get back to a lean, mean Peaches machine,” she said. “On my albums I don’t really sing so much, so there were certain things I got to explore with my voice. It let me go back to Peaches as someone who makes albums and I go, ‘Wow, I like this. This is what I do.’ I

with new album think it was a way to not think about what I do, but express other things.” On her last world tour, Peaches had Berlin rock band Sweet Machine backing her up and fleshing out her songs. For this tour, she said she is going back to basics, with most of the music being presented electronically. “ I t ’s defi-

nitely very performance-oriented,” she said. “I think when I don’t have a band, the performances become more fluid between the audience and me. I’m just working with dancers [for this tour], so it’ll be very old-school like my first two albums. I got a lot out of it. Sometimes I feel like I relate more to performance art and dance than musicians, which I don’t think is a bad thing. Maybe it’s a very taboo thing to say and I love playing with people, but I do it better when I’m the focus and it gives me more room to be with the audience.” Peaches’ talents are also in demand by a growing list of superstar artists, ranging from Iggy Pop and R.E.M. to Christina Aguilera, who have asked her to guest on their songs. She’s also opened for heavy-duty hard rock acts on the road. In both cases, Peaches said she doesn’t feel like she has to change her approach to performance to fit in with other artists’ audiences. “They’re coming to me,” she said. “They want what I have to give. So I’ve never had to change to do something for them. It wouldn’t work. I always try to be me. It’s always fun to open for other fans that hate you and don’t want you to play because they want to see their headliner. I toured around with Marilyn Manson, Bjork and Queens of the Stone Age. Nobody likes an opening band but it’s a challenge. Janet Jackson would be awesome to open for or Madonna, as a challenge.” A native of Canada, Peaches has been living in Berlin since 2000, and said she has left PAGE 22

PEACHES from page 22

her sonic mark on the music scene there. “Peaches was made in Toronto,” she said. “When I came to Berlin, and this is going to sound totally narcissistic, people were excited about me and my influences. There were a lot of friends I knew that were doing bands that turned into one-person electro acts. I’m not saying I started that but it was sort of an infusion that I gave the city. I think what later on influenced me in Berlin is I had the time and space to do what I wanted and I didn’t feel any kind of urgency that I would feel trying to make it in the states. I was just living my life and doing my thing.” Peaches added that having the creative freedom to do what she wants when she wants is the only way she knows how to operate and thrive as an artist. “Some people would rather have the support or money or direction from a label to push it as far as they can,” she said. “For me, I’m a creative control freak and a message freak and an aesthetic control freak. So there’s no other way for me.” Some parts of the world have evolved in their views and policies of sexual minorities since Peaches last toured. So

we asked if she thought that means society as a whole will be more open to her explicit songs, with lyrics promoting positive messages about sexuality and body image. “I think that if it does, that’s great,” she said. “I feel like [people] are open to that message. People ask me, ‘Now that those rights are more in place, do you feel like what you do is relevant?’ Yeah, I celebrate it. I’m ready for people to celebrate with me instead of having to struggle.” Peaches has also been very vocal in her support of the members of Pussy Riot, the Russian feminist punk-rock band that was arrested and jailed in Russia for their defiant lyrics and views. Peaches said she supported the group because it’s something that could easily happen to her. “That’s why I was so active. I just felt so akin to this feeling of oppressed creativity and political awareness. I’m just doing what I do. I’m not toning it down and I’m not afraid.” n Peaches’ new album, “Rub,” will be released Oct. 25. For more information, visit www.peachesrocks.com.

Suzi Nash

Ozzie Perez: From Catholic Camden to the trifecta of gay careers I love when I get suggestions from readers. It’s always a little serendipitous talking to someone I don’t know much about. In this week’s case, someone wrote to the paper and recommended the namesake of Ozzie Perez Salon, 260 S. 20th St.: “He’s a local business owner and a nice guy who likes to give back. Plus, who does not want to see a photo of a cute Latino in the paper?” I agree, so here’s this week’s cutie pie, Ozzie Perez. PGN: Tell me a little about yourself. OP: Sure. I’m originally from Camden, N.J., but I’ve lived in Philadelphia for easily 20 years. I am one of six: four brothers and a sister. She was the oldest, so the poor girl didn’t have a chance until we were all adults. PGN: Where did you fall in the lineup? OP: I was number five. My father died very young, he was only 45. I was just 14 and we moved from North Camden to the Cherry Hill/Pennsauken area. I had the most amazing mother in the world. I don’t know how she raised six kids on her own. When my father died, we had two in college, three in high school and one in grade school. She made it to her early 70s before passing. PGN: Camden has been in the national spotlight as one of the most dangerous cities. What was it like when you grew up? OP: It was a really different time. Back then, it was a wonderful place to raise a family; you could go out and play all day long, come in when the lights went on, that kind of thing. It was pretty great. My father was a politician so we were right in the heart of all things Camden. PGN: What did he do? OP: He was a councilman for the city of Camden. My mother was the chief dietician for a hospital here in Philadelphia. It no longer exists, but it was called Metropolitan Hospital and she was there for 18 years. PGN: Any family traditions? For the holidays? OP: Oh God, lots of food! Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and you came home all excited about Christmas morning. PGN: So you were raised Catholic? OP: Yes, yes, 12 years of Catholic school. My mother was also a huge part of our church. She had her own radio show on the AM dial where she counseled youth. She was a dynamic lady, she really was. She was probably no taller than 5-foot-2 but she was a little powerhouse, yet very soft-spoken. PGN: Spoke softly but carried a big mic? OP: [Laughs] Big time! When she spoke, you listened.

PGN: So she was on the forefront of the health/nutrition bandwagon? OP: Yes, both she and my father suffered from heart disease. In her lifetime she had five heart attacks and I was always amazed and impressed at her discipline with her diet. She clearly added years to her life even with all of her health problems. PGN: Out of the six kids, who was the funniest and who was the troublemaker? OP: Funniest would be a tie between my brother Ed and my brother Tom, the second oldest boy and the youngest. Troublemaker … my oldest brother, Angel. Absolutely. Angel just loved life and he did his thing; he’d dive in head first without thinking of any consequences and then always got in trouble for it, always. PGN: Ha. I was the stealthy one, I did as much mischief as my brothers, but I was better at hiding it so my parents thought I was innocent. OP: That was me! I never got caught. PGN: So what did you do after high school? OP: Well, my father had been gone at that point for four years, so I decided to go straight to work and help my mother out a bit. I got a job in banking for about seven years … and hated it. PGN: What was your very first job? OP: I worked for Flower World in Pennsauken cutting and preparing flowers for the buckets in the show room. PGN: [Laughs] You picked two out of three of the most stereotypical gay careers: ballet dancer, florist and hairdresser! OP: I actually danced competitively, too. So I hit three of three! PGN: The homosexual trifecta! OP: Yes, dancing on the weekends and then having to put on a suit and tie on Monday and sit behind a desk was just awful. I hated the corporate world, so one day I just quit. I’d started thinking about what I really wanted to do and this just came up. I went to beauty school and then got a job here in Philadelphia. I was lucky; the woman I worked for, Valerie, was an amazing teacher and mentor. I got my work ethic from her. I worked for her for seven years before opening my own business. PGN: Neat. I want to go back to the competitive dancing, what was that about? OP: I danced within a drum and bugle corps as part of the color guard, part of what’s now called The Sport of the Arts. It’s an extremely popular venue for kids who have all these amazing abilities that need an outlet. Check out WGI — Winter Guard International. It’s really cool.

PGN: Did you get started with them in school? OP: Yes, I was in eighth grade when a woman from Brooklawn, N.J., Millie Piscoteo, came to our junior high and spoke about the indoor drum and bugle corps she was starting. My brother Vince and I ran home and told our parents that we wanted to do it. By the summer, all five boys were part of it. Vince turned out to be an incredible soprano trumpet player, Ed was an amazing drummer, Angel turned out to be a great baritone player and I ran the gamut. I went from soprano to drums and then landed in the color guard. PGN: What did you enjoy the most when you started hairdressing? OP: People. The interactions and, it may sound over the top, but you can change someone’s day in an instant. I love when people leave feeling better than when they came in. It’s been 20 years and I still love it.

OP: No! I’ve always been very analytical and thoughtful and — knock on wood — no disasters so far. PGN: No crazy customers? OP: Oh, now that we’ve had. Quite a few over the years, but you learn the fine art of what I call divorcing a client. It’s not easy but it can be done respectfully without offending anybody. PGN: What makes them persona non grata? Hitting on you? Wanting to look like Jennifer Lopez? A little cray cray? OP: [Laughs] Well, I have been hit on by both men and women. And crazy I can deal with; you find a way to embrace it. With people who come in with unrealistic expectations, I have very intensive consultations and explain honestly and diplomatically why it won’t work. I explain that the celebrities have make-up and style teams following them and even they don’t look like them without all that help! The divorcee is more the person who doesn’t want to be pleased no matter what you do, who wants to find an excuse not to be happy and, therefore, not to pay. PGN: Do you have a mostly male or female clientele? OP: I actually have a good balance of both. We do all services related to hair, except that I refuse to do some of the treatments that require some pretty toxic chemicals. They’re just dreadful and I just won’t do them. PGN: How long have you had the salon? OP: Almost 10 years. I started the business with my then-partner, Michael. I’m single now, but we’re still in business together; we’re both committed to the salon. We have a really solid friendship today that’s just amazing.

PGN: What hobbies do you have? Photo: Suzi Nash PGN: What was the worst part when you OP: I’m pretty physically started out? I’d be nervous that I’d make a active, I run, I bike. I do mistake and have someone’s hair fall out or a lot of benefits to raise funds for various turn blue. charities, mud runs, color runs, bike maraOP: I was never worried about that.

Dina Martina makes triumphant return to Philly By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com After almost a decade away, drag star and cult sensation Dina Martina is heading back to Philadelphia. Martina is bringing her “Flat & Lacking” show to Voyeur Sept. 18, her first Philly performance in nine years. With famous fans that include Michael Stipe, Whoopi Goldberg, John Waters and Margaret Cho, Martina has played to packed audiences throughout Seattle, New York, Provincetown, San Francisco and London. Now that she has seen fit to return to the City of Brotherly Love, we had the opportunity to catch up with the drag legend. PGN: Why the nine-year absence from Philly stages? Was it something we said? DM: It was actually what you didn’t say.

DM: Yes, in Bearded Ladies and Francis the Talking Mule.

No one ever said, “Come back, Dina.” And then I realized it’s because I left you all totally speechless. So no hard feelings. PGN: At what point did you realize you had become a show-business legend, and are you OK with the responsibilities that come with that title? DM: It will occur at 3 p.m. May 11, 2030. PGN: Do you see your influence in the styles of other performers that are out there?

PGN: What is the most outrageous thing you have ever done on stage? DM: Drunk nude yoga.

DM: Good question. I’ve met some drag queens and I too have noticed that they’re becoming more mainstream. I think it’s a conscious choice to “dress down” so maybe we’ll give them voting rights. PGN: A lot of big stars count themselves as your fans. Who are some people you were more surprised to find out were fans of yours? DM: Doris Kearns Goodwin and William “The Refrigerator” Perry.

PGN: Where do you look for inspiration for your performances? DM: Between the couch cushions.

PGN: Are you going to make Philly wait another nine years before you come back? DM: No. Lately I’ve been really inspired by Halley’s Comet, so I think next time it’ll be 75 years. n

PGN: Why do you think drag has become more mainstream over the last decade, and do you think that is a good thing for the art form?

Dina Martina presents “Flat & Lacking,” 8 p.m. Sept. 18 at Voyeur Nightclub, 1221 St. James St. For more information, call 215-735-5772.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT PGN LISTINGS

French dramedy deftly explores gender fluidity By Gary M. Kramer PGN Contributor Nothing is what it seems in “The New Girlfriend,” the new comedy-drama by cheeky, gay French filmmaker François Ozon, opening at Ritz Theaters Sept. 18. Based on a Ruth Rendell novel, the film opens with lipstick, eyeliner and blush being applied to a woman’s face. Although a wedding march is being played, the “bride” is actually the corpse of Laura (Isild Le Besco). Laura’s best friend, Claire (Anaïs Demoustier), delivers the eulogy at the funeral and promises

to watch over Laura’s infant, Lucie, and her husband, David (Romain Duris). While Claire is grief-stricken, her emotions take a further somersault when she enters Laura’s house and makes an unexpected discovery: David is dressed as a woman. He is as startled as she, but David is also relieved he can confide his secret in someone. He quickly explains that Laura knew that he cross-dressed for fun, and never in public. David asks Claire to keep this between them and not tell her husband, Gilles (Raphaël Personnaz). Initially taken aback, Claire eventually comes to enjoy the company of “Virginia” (David dressed in female garb), especially after she takes him shopping. Claire starts to befriend Virginia as intensely as she once did Laura. As the characters in “The New Girlfriend” lie, their deceptions start to raise various suspicions. The delight of the film is seeing how the situations that develop between Claire, David/Virginia and Gilles form an elegantly twisted web. While there is dramatic tension created around if and how David’s secret will be discovered, Ozon’s film features plenty of amusement. At a dinner, Gilles mistakes David’s admiration of a woman’s dress as having an interest in the woman wearing it. Likewise, when David is at the movies with Claire while dressed as Virginia, he receives some not-unwanted physical attention from a handsy man sitting next to him (Ozon in a fabulous cameo). While David insists men have never

turned him on — he is resolutely straight — the film develops humor and tension as a series of queer love triangles plays out, as when Claire tries to persuade Gilles that David is gay to cover for his cross-dressing. “The New Girlfriend” is full of delicious twists as multiple same-sex permutations play out, both real and imagined. The film is also an affecting drama about grief, love and identity. The codependent nature of Claire and Virginia is a means for the two bereft friends to cope with their shared loss. An episode in which Claire and Virginia spend a weekend at Laura’s country home triggers sad memories for Claire. It provides one of the few moments David/Virginia can care for Claire. What makes “The New Girlfriend” so engaging is how nonjudgmental the film is about David’s transvestism. The two main characters each experience moments of self-loathing, but they also find solace in “Virginia.” A scene of the two women each dressing for dinner shows how they move beyond their pain. A subsequent episode at a gay nightclub featuring a drag performance is especially liberating for the two “girlfriends.” Duris is remarkable in the dual title role, and not just because he looks fetching in a wig and a dress. The actor has effeminate mannerisms that are sometimes exposed — like the lipstick he accidentally left on, or the beard he forgot to remove — that threaten to reveal his secret. What makes Duris’ performance so tender and touching is that he is always expressing David’s humanity. There may be comic moments, such as David dressed in a black, lacy bra and panties getting his lower back hair waxed, but this is one of the few comedies where a man in a dress is played for sensitivity, not laughs. Demoustier is also impressive in her role, making Claire’s transformation and all of the emotions that go with it — anger, fear, denial, acceptance and eventually concern and guilt — credible. The actress with her red hair and freckles is also made to look stunning in a red dress, or masculine at times in less-flattering suits. Demoustier is a terrific performer and she makes a good coconspirator with Duris. As the plot plays out to its wonderful denouement, there are scenes that suggest just how fragile the relationships among the trio might actually be. If things reach a (soap) operatic pitch — with betrayals and other developments that are best not revealed — Ozon has the last laugh. “The New Girlfriend” is sure to leave viewers smiling and enchanted. n

The cabaret venue known as The Rrazz Room is bringing its unique sense of entertainment flair to Philadelphia. After establishing itself in San Francisco, South Florida and New Hope, the nightclub is setting up shop at the Prince Music Theatre in Philadelphia Sept. 18. It will host a number of shows featuring cabaret acts, Broadway stars and comedians, with an announced lineup that includes Linda Lavin, Paul Mooney, Dick Gregory, Storm Large and Well Strung. Robert Kotonly, who co-owns The Rrazz Room with life partner Rory Paull, said their aim was always to bring The Rrazz Room to different locations. “The goal has always been, since we started way back in 2001 in San Francisco, to do more venues and bring the brand to different markets,” he said. “That’s always been something we wanted to do, and a space came up in Philadelphia. I think Philadelphia is a fantastic city but doesn’t offer what The Rrazz Room is going to be offering the area. It was a perfect match to us.” The 156-seat space in Philadelphia will give patrons an up-close and personal experience with the performers, and many shows will offer post-show meet-andgreets. Kotonly said that while the venue will have the cozy feel of the New Hope location, he expects Philadelphians will create a more upscale atmosphere at the Prince. Lily

“They will both be separately run with their own personalities,” he said. “I definitely do not see New Hope suffering because we have a club in Philadelphia. They will both continue to have their own personalities. There will be some crossover every once in a while. In a city like Philadelphia, I think we will have a wider audience and a larger venue, so the booking will be quite different.” n The Rrazz Room at the Prince, 1412 Chestnut St., opens 8 p.m. Sept. 18 with a performance by Karen Mason.

“We’re in a country kind of area in New Hope, which is very charming, laidback and casual,” he said. “I believe in the city. We’ve done this before in San Francisco. Because it’s in the city, people dress up a little more than they do in the country. Will it be formal and stuffy? Our rooms are never formal and stuffy but we like to call it a casual elegance. That’s what I perceive the new space to be.” Kotonly added that fans of the New Hope location need not worry about the Philadelphia venue stealing any of their entertainment thunder.

PORTRAIT from page 23

hurt myself or leave a shoe behind! Mostly, it’s just a really good time. The challenge is not so much the obstacles, but the endurance needed to get through. The MS rides are usually double century — 200 miles — in two days, so those are challenging but I love them. I used to do one in Lancaster with two friends, Chris and David, and it was 200 miles of rolling hills. That’s probably the most difficult thing I’ve done. PGN: Avoiding road apples and such? OP: Yeah, yeah, plus you’re riding in the middle of cornfields with absolutely no shade. It’s pretty grueling but I miss it. They’ve since canceled the ride but it was a great adventure. PGN: By the way, what made you ride for MS? OP: My friend Chris, a close friend of his passed away from MS when she was pretty young. He told us about it and all three of us signed up for the ride and started training together. Since then, I’ve found out that quite a few friends have been diagnosed. It’s a scary thing. I went to a fundraiser at Tavern on Camac for a friend of mine. It was a great drag show to raise money for the cause. PGN: Do you remember your first kiss? OP: Yes, it was in my sophomore year of high school and her name was Gina. PGN: You were a late bloomer. OP: Oh yeah. I was. She was my girlfriend until I came out. PGN: First kiss with a boy? OP: It was right after I came out after Gina, I guess I was 17 or 18, and his name was John. I met him through friends. He was a couple of years older, just this beautiful Latino male, and I was mad for the guy. PGN: So if you weren’t in the beauty business, what would you have done? OP: I would have danced. PGN: An “aha” moment? OP: When I realized that I was going to do this. I didn’t really know what I was going to do with my life after banking. I’d never played around with hair but I asked myself, What is something you’ve always wanted to do but never took seriously? And it came to me. I enrolled in school and here I am. PGN: Have you ever faced discrimination because of being gay? OP: Once. I’ve never suffered any physical harassment but I was traveling in the Bahamas and I was in a small shop with some friends. At one point, one of the friends said that we needed to go. I asked him why and he just said that we needed to get out of there. He informed me that the two clerks behind the counter had uttered quite a few gay slurs. It got me really angry and I turned around and went back in and confronted them. I yelled, “How dare you! We are guests here and were trying to spend

fun & PGN games

our money here … and you think it’s all right to say those things!” I was enraged and screaming at the top of my lungs. Not my finest moment. It’s not my personality at all to yell, but they just … you shouldn’t be treating people unkindly. For any reason! PGN: I had something similar happen in a Brookstone store at the airport and I think the saleswoman was shocked that I confronted her, but she didn’t back down. She retorted, “Oh, you don’t think I should be using the word ‘faggot’?” So I then took it to a gay lawyers’ group and they sent a formal letter to the headquarters of the company. It ended with her being reprimanded or possibly fired (they weren’t allowed to share what actions had been taken but assured me she was in deep trouble) and they had a training on diversity. I didn’t particularly care about what she said, but I thought about some young kid struggling with their sexuality having to hear that crap on their way to a vacation. OP: Exactly, it wasn’t that I was so much bothered by it either, but I wanted to fight for those who might not have a voice. I was very fortunate, even growing up, I never really faced any kind of discrimination. PGN: I guess the family was OK with it. OP: No, not at all. Coming out did not go smoothly. You have to imagine, I grew up with 12 years of Catholic school and church. My father did not live to see me come out but when I came out to my mother on my 18th birthday she cried; she cried a lot. It was in the middle of the AIDS epidemic and, instantly, that’s where she went with her thoughts: “I’m worried about your health, plus you’re going to burn in hell.” We didn’t communicate for about two weeks and then slowly but surely she came around and we became best of friends. I’m so grateful that she got to meet my business partner Michael when we were still together. They had a great relationship. So that was that and my one brother, Vince, who’s a complete alpha male, had a huge problem with it. He’s actually the reason I moved out: e was very threatening. Fortunately, he got over himself and now we’re also the best of friends. PGN: You wore them down. OP: And the world changed. The more being gay was part of the public eye with people like Ellen and Rosie coming out, it wasn’t so scary or mysterious. PGN: As a Catholic, are you excited about the pope coming to town? OP: Growing up, the pope was always this … larger-than-life entity. I was a little trepidatious at first, but now I’m getting excited.
