Creating Change host committee seeking volunteers By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com A frequent refrain from the September meeting of the local host committee for Creating Change was, “We need more people to sign up.” About 30 people have regularly attended meetings since March to plan the national conference sponsored annually by the National LGBTQ Task Force. It comes to Philadelphia Jan. 18-22. Host committee co-chair Aneesah Smith, who works on LGBT services at West Chester University, set a goal of 500 volunteers but only 42 have signed up so far. People who volunteer four hours any day of the conference get to attend any workshops that day for free. Young people are needed to help plan the youth hospitality suite, which will provide meals each day of the conference in addition to passive programming. People aged 16-24 are invited to offer input at 7 p.m. Sept. 27 at The Attic Youth Center, 255 S. 16th St. No volunteers have yet signed up for the community-housing committee, which will seek free accommodations for 75 attendees. Those interested can sign up at www.creatingchange.org or by contacting Smith at asmith4@wcupa.edu. On the financial end, two large gifts have been secured in the goal of raising $50,000, said host committee co-chair Samantha Giusti, executive director of DVLF, an LGBT grantmaking organization. Giusti said TD Bank has pledged $20,000 to support the opening reception for Creating Change. Pride Institute, an LGBT organization based in Minnesota, has pledged $3,000 for recovery services. The next host committee meeting is Oct. 18 at William Way. Task Force officials will attend to answer questions. n

Tobacco usage emerged as an unexpected health disparity for LGBT people in Pennsylvania, according to results from a study led by the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center in Allentown. Executive director Adrian Shanker coordinated the research with LGBT centers across the state for over a year. Sponsored by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, it’s the first statewide data collection on LGBT health. The William Way LGBT Community Center in the Gayborhood administered the sur-

vey to 1,218 people in Philadelphia, Chester, Bucks, Delaware and Montgomery counties. Results were released at the end of August. More than 600 people from the Lehigh Valley and Central Pennsylvania completed surveys last year. All reported smoking at higher rates than the general population, 24 percent of which said they smoked. But the more rural the area LGBT people lived in, the more likely they were to smoke. In the Philadelphia region, 34.3 percent of LGBT people reported smoking. That number is 37 percent in the Lehigh Valley and 43 percent in Central Pennsylvania. Isolating the PAGE 18

LGBT police group prez: Trump ‘represents none of us’ By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com The president of the Greater Philadelphia Gay Officer Action League took to Facebook this week to publish a nearly 800word post disagreeing with the city’s police union for endorsing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. “GOAL is in the unique position of not only representing various law enforcement agencies, but representing lesbians, gay men, trans* identified officers, non-binary officers, people of color and all the various beliefs, life experiences and situations a police officer can live,” wrote Jo Mason, GOAL president. “It is my personal belief that not only does Trump not represent most of us, but rather? He represents none of us.” Mason said they wrote the post

speaking for themselves and not every member of GOAL. “To try to get everyone to agree on one thing politically is nearly impossible,” they said. “We can’t all agree sometimes on where we want to get a beer or go out to eat after work.” But Mason said they talked to GOAL before making a statement and, while members support various political parties, the majority of them agreed with Mason’s post. They also heard from the Guardian Civic League, an organization for black police officers in Philadelphia, and SALEA, an organization for Latino officers in the city, which similarly did not feel supported by Trump. More than 50 percent of the force in Philadelphia comes from a minority background, Mason said. Speaking to CBS News Sept. 19, John McNesby, president of the Philadelphia police union,

said the campaign for Democrat Hillary Clinton refused to participate in the endorsement process. “She just disregarded and blew the police off,” McNesby said. “We put out a questionnaire and she absolutely refused … outright refused, with a nasty campaign rebuttal to why she wouldn’t … We went in and we participated with the candidate that cooperated. He filled it out. We met with him.” Mason’s post said they respected McNesby and the entire board of the local police union, Lodge 5. They told PGN that McNesby was the first to pledge money and support a safe space for the GOAL chapter that started here last year. Mason talked with McNesby about the Trump endorsement. “I don’t fault John for the decision he made,” Mason said. “He fell in line with the national organization. He’s PAGE 21

Wilkes-Barre adopts LGBT law By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com In a unanimous vote last week, WilkesBarre City Council enacted LGBTnondiscrimination protections and established a human-relations commission to hear complaints from a variety of protected classes. The law goes into effect Sept. 25, 10 days after the Sept. 15 meeting. “I’ve been on council nine months, and this is my proudest moment so far,” said Councilwoman Beth Gilbert, who introduced the nondiscrimination law as one of her top priorities. She said people had come to city administrators to report LGBT bias, but nothing could be done to address it. “This will provide some legal recourse,” Gilbert said. “They will have their time to be heard in front of a human-relations commission.” Wilkes-Barre originally created a commission in the 1980s, but no one was appointed to the board. This month’s new law scraps the old body in favor of a new one that will recruit seven to 15 volunteer members from the city. Gilbert said the commission and its open positions will be advertised on the Wilkes-Barre website. Ted Martin, executive director of Equality Pennsylvania, attended the meeting and noted, “One of the primary responsibilities of a human-relations commission is to educate the public and bring people together.” “Wouldn’t you rather have people talk than go to court? Wouldn’t you rather have local people solve local problems?” Six people spoke about the law, largely with favorable comments. One resident wanted the city to make sure it couldn’t be sued for infringing on

religious liberty, while another asked if people formerly convicted of crimes could be added to the nondiscrimination law. Council said it would look into the matters. “It was heartening that there were no ideological arguments against it,” said Tara Stark of the Pennsylvania Youth Congress. “People had questions about details.” Wilkes-Barre resident Dee Culp initially approached Gilbert and Councilman Tony Brooks, who is gay, about the nondiscrimination law when the two council members were running for their seats last fall. She said she felt accomplished after the law passed. “It took a few months, but we got it,” Culp said. The journey of Wilkes-Barre’s nondiscrimination law this year is a far cry from what happened when council deliberated it 22 years ago. Brooks recalled the vote was 1-6 against protecting the LGBT community in 1994, even after his mother had lobbied for the bill. Brooks was also involved in LGBTinclusive efforts in Philadelphia in 1997 while on the staff of Thacher Longstreth, the late Republican Philadelphia City Councilman. Longstreth supported domestic-partnership benefits in Philadelphia at Brooks’ urging. Of Wilkes-Barre’s vote for LGBT protections, Brooks said, “What we did tonight is a confirmation of our great American values.” Council also voted to send a resolution to the state legislature encouraging lawmakers to pass LGBT-nondiscrimination protections across the commonwealth. Wilkes-Barre became the 37th municipality in Pennsylvania to pass an LGBTinclusive nondiscrimination law. n

40 years ago in PGN Actions at Republican convention have little impact Adapted from reporting by M. David Stein National media lacked coverage of gay demonstrations at the Republican National Convention in Kansas City from Aug. 16-19, 1976, but that doesn’t mean none occurred. It may, however, have signaled a change in social action going forward. “Street demonstrations are on the way out,” said Gerry Young, principal organizer for gay convention activities. “Security is too tight to get close to delegates and other people in power, and the media are starting to shut us out also. There are other things, like direct lobbying, that have more effect for the effort.” Young estimated that 75-100 people participated in each gay demonstration. During rallies surrounding the Republican platform, Young said people were prevented from carrying pro-gay signs. “They didn’t even want us to wear our buttons,” he said. A proposed gay-rights plank was submitted before the convention, but was rejected without any discussion. At the Democratic and Republican conventions in 1976, the National Gay Task Force circulated a petition for support of gay rights; 650 Democratic delegates and six Republican delegates signed it. Police behavior was restrained at the Republican convention. Kansas City offi-

cers refrained from arresting 12 gay demonstrators when they defied a ban on protesting in the area where delegates’ busses arrived at Kemper Auditorium. Philadelphians to lead national gay Episcopalian group Adapted from reporting by Frank Broderick Two leaders from the Philadelphia chapter of a group for gay Episcopalians took on roles with the national organization. The Rev. Ron Wesner was appointed president of Integrity and Rev. John Lenhardt was named national treasurer at the organization’s annual convention held Aug. 5-8, 1976, in San Francisco. The two were co-conveners of the Philadelphia chapter of Integrity. Barbara Gittings, a Philadelphia-based gay-rights activist, delivered the keynote address at the convention. She mentioned a letter she received from an 18-yearold woman in Nebraska who begged for someone to talk to. Gittings called loneliness one of the main problems gay people face. She said gay organizations have a responsibility to reach out and break the isolation. Lenhardt said the 1977 Integrity convention would be held in Philadelphia at St. Mary’s Parish with the complete support of the Episcopalian diocese. n — compiled by Paige Cooperstein

Small-biz workshops start at Bradbury-Sullivan By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Adrian Shanker met representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration at the 2015 CenterLink conference for LGBT community centers. He was in the homestretch of opening his own center in downtown Allentown at the time. “During this presidential administration, there was a directive to every federal agency to better include the LGBT community in programs that are happening,” Shanker said. Now that the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center is up and running, Shanker has built on his relationship with the SBA to offer a series of workshops called “Start Your Business.” The same three-hour workshop will take place 12 times over the next year, starting Sept. 28 and ending in August. They’re free to attend. “These are meant to be small- to medium-sized attendance so people can really get a lot of attention and get their questions answered,” said Shanker, noting 10-30 people are expected at each workshop.

Shannon Degiglio, a lender-relations specialist with the SBA in Eastern Pennsylvania, helped Shanker organize the “Start Your Business” series. Tony Leta, director for the Eastern Pennsylvania district of the SBA, said the administration seeks to work with underserved communities. “We view the LGBT community as underserved from the perspective of access to resources when starting or growing a business,” he said. Several years ago, the SBA launched an LGBT economic-empowerment campaign called “Many Faces, One Dream.” Now, the “Business Smart Toolkit” helps underserved entrepreneurs find out how to become credit-ready and what agencies can provide additional support. This kit forms the basis of the presentations to be made at the “Start Your Business” workshops. Representatives from the SBA will attend each workshop at Bradbury-Sullivan, in addition to some lenders the administration works with. Robert Mineo, financial assistance program director for the Small Business Development Center at Lehigh University, said Degiglio invited his center to participate as well. Shanker said there will be some intentionality behind

the business presentations taking place in an LGBT space, like discussing past instances of lenders denying access to capital. Some LGBT entrepreneurs may want to investigate incentives aimed at minority-owned businesses. Mineo said his presentation will detail various financing options. “It’s more about deciding what kind of business you want to start and evaluating financial options from there,” he said, adding he would talk about debt, equity and alternate options for raising capital online like crowd funding. People are encouraged to register in advance at https:// bizsmartbradbury.eventbrite.com. For more information, visit www.bradburysullivancenter.org. n All “Start Your Business” workshops run from 2-5 p.m. at the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center, 522 W. Maple St., Allentown. The dates include: Sept. 28, Oct. 26, Nov. 16 and Dec. 14. The dates for 2017 will be scheduled later this fall. Sponsors for the first four workshops include QNB, People First Federal Credit Union and the LGBT Business Council of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce.

James Stefanide 2d is seeking compensation after he says he was seriously injured inside Woody’s Bar last year. Stefanide, of Drexel Hill, filed suit last month against the popular Gayborhood bar. Stefanide claims he sustained serious injuries while falling on interior stairs at Woody’s in June 2015. The slip-and-fall incident was caused by “an unreasonably slippery condition of the stairs,” according to his suit. The suit faults Woody’s for “permitting a dangerous and hazardous condition to exist without any warning signs.” It also says Woody’s failed to properly address previous complaints about the steps and created a “menace, danger, nuisance and trap” for patrons. Woody’s violated various local and state “ordinances, regulations, codes, rules, statutes and

laws” when it allegedly acted in such a negligent manner, according to the suit. Stefanide’s injuries include right-arm, lower-back and spinal damage. According to the suit, he’s expended “large sums of money for medicine and medical attention, and may be required to expend additional sums for the same purpose in the future.” Stefanide’s life has been significantly altered by the incident and he is “unable to attend to his usual duties and occupation, to his great financial detriment and loss,” attorneys stated in the suit. Stefanide is seeking more than $50,000 in damages, including compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and mental anguish. He’s also requesting that Woody’s pay for his attorneys’ fees. Stefanide’s suit is pending in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court. A jury trial has been requested. Neither side had a comment for this story. n

First Bi Visibility celebration in Philly set for Friday By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Last year, less than two-dozen people stood outside William Way LGBT Community Center to watch Nellie Fitzpatrick of the Philadelphia Office of LGBT Affairs read a proclamation under a bisexual pride flag. When Bi Visibility Day comes around again Sept. 23, a crowd is expected to celebrate from 4-6 p.m. at the Board Game Art Park in front of the Municipal Services Building, 1401 John F. Kennedy Blvd. Afterward, people are invited to gather at Woody’s, 202 S. 13th St. “The ‘L’ and the ‘G’ get a lot of attention, a lot of focus” in the LGBT community, said Steven Johnston, a bisexual Montgomery County resident organizing the rally. “Sometimes bisexual people and transgender people get forgotten about. In my experience, we get told it’s just a phase or ‘You’re just doing this before you come out as gay.’ This tells the world we exist.” The Office of LGBT Affairs has sponsored the event. Fitzpatrick,

who initiated last year’s city proclamation, will again proclaim Sept. 23 Bi Visibility Day in Philadelphia. This is the first time a community-organized rally will mark the day in the city. “It’s exactly what should be happening,” Fitzpatrick said. “I’m happy to get behind the communities and help them in any capacity.” She added it’s great to have such increased public awareness. “To go from that small gathering to a bigger, more visible and public space is wonderful.” City Hall is across the street from the Board Game Art Park. Johnston hopes Friday’s activity will become an annual event in Philadelphia. It’s been celebrated since 1999 across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and elsewhere. “This whole event was started with one person deciding to stand on a corner with a bisexual pride flag,” Johnston said. “One person can make a change. But it’s only all together that we can change hearts and minds.” n

Gay man seeks court order for city to investigate his antibias complaint By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com “John Doe,” a Philadelphia gay man, wants a federal judge to order the city’s Human Relations Commission to investigate his antibias complaint against Elwyn Inc. Elwyn is a human-services agency based in Elwyn, Pa., with an office in West Philadelphia, where Doe works. The agency serves individuals with intellectual, physical, behavioral and developmental disabilities. Doe, 32, is suing Elwyn in federal court, claiming Elwyn failed to promote him due to antigay bias, and that he works in a hostile environment. Doe also contends the city’s refusal to investigate his antibias complaint against Elwyn could jeopardize its success in federal court. Typically, antibias litigants must exhaust their local remedies prior to litigating in federal court. It remains in dispute whether Doe exhausted his local remedies. Justin F. Robinette, an attorney for Doe, said Elwyn seeks the dismissal of Doe’s sexual-orientation discrimination claims, on the basis that they weren’t investigated locally. Robinette said he’s concerned a federal judge will dismiss Doe’s sexual-orientation claims before they can reach a jury. Attorneys for Elwyn had no comment for this story. Robinette said the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission accepted for investigation Doe’s antibias complaint against Elwyn. But it’s not clear whether the agency investigated Doe’s sexual-orientation claims. “The EEOC hasn’t clarified exactly what it investigated in terms of my client’s complaint,” Robinette said. Doe’s suit refers to the city’s rejection of his complaint as “woefully inadequate” conduct. “If my client is successful, it will help ensure that another LGBT individual won’t have to go through what he’s going through,” Robinette said. Doe, a data analyst at Elwyn, is HIV-positive, thus he’s litigating using a pseudonym. Doe’s antibias complaint against Elwyn remains pending with U.S. District Judge Nitza I. Quinones Alejandro. A jury trial has been requested. Doe’s request that the city be ordered to investigate his antibias complaint remains pending with U.S. District Judge Gerald J. Pappert. Robinette

said he’s trying to have the request transferred to Alejandro for judicial economy. Doe allegedly was referred to as “girl” by coworkers at Elwyn, warned about the “tearing” effect of anal sex, asked about details of his sexual activities and repeatedly told that “all gays are going to hell,” according to his suit. “My client has numerous claims against Elwyn,” Robinette concluded. “Some of the claims are based on sex discrimination, but many others are based on sexual-orientation discrimination. It would be a miscarriage of justice if the sexual-orientation claims are dismissed simply because they weren’t investigated by the [city]. So we fervently hope for a judicial order that the [city] will do the right thing and investigate my client’s complaint.” Rue Landau, executive director of the city’s Commission on Human Relations, issued this statement: “Counsel for [Doe] chose to file this complaint with the EEOC and the Pennsylvania Commission, not the Philadelphia Commission. We gladly would have accepted the complaint had it been filed with our office. We are keenly aware of the fact that our explicit protections for sexual orientation and gender identity under the city’s Fair Practices Ordinance make our agency the preferred forum to investigate and adjudicate this complaint. Nonetheless, counsel by his own volition, chose to dual file this complaint with the state agency and the EEOC. As we have relayed to counsel many times, the PCHR is prohibited from accepting cases already filed at the PA Commission based on Section 9-112 (4) of the Philadelphia Fair Practices Ordinance which states, ‘The Commission shall not accept a complaint from any person who has filed a complaint with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission with respect to the same grievance. “The good news is that despite counsel’s procedural missteps, none of the complainant’s rights have been abrogated. Both the Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Commissions have work-sharing agreements with the EEOC, under which any complaints filed with the EEOC and the state or local agency are considered ‘dual filed’ and covered under federal, state and local law. “As the agency charged with enforcing the non-discrimination laws which locally include explicit protections for sexual orientation and gender identity, we welcome all complaints from the LGBT community, as has always been our practice.” n

AIDS Walk Delaware celebrates 30 years The 30th anniversary of AIDS Walk Delaware is likely to mark a return to a banner year with about 1,000 people expected to travel 5 kilometers on what is forecasted to be a mild, sunny day. The scene was similar in 2014. Last year’s walk saw a diminished turnout because it coincided with the papal visit in Philadelphia.

The anniversary event takes place Sept. 24 simultaneously at Dravo Plaza, 815 Justison St. in Wilmington, and at Grove Park in Rehoboth Beach. Registration starts at 9 a.m. with the walk at 11 a.m. Donations benefit the walk’s organizers: AIDS Delaware and the Delaware HIV Consortium. Both provide services to people living

with HIV/AIDS in Delaware as well as preventative education, outreach and testing. The organizations set a fundraising goal of $130,000. So far, more than $66,000 has been pledged. For more information, visit www.aidswalkde.kintera.org. n

THANKS-GIVING MEAL: Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutritional Alliance CEO Sue Daugherty thanked supporters who help the agency meet its mission of providing nutritional meals for people with life-threatening illnesses at its annual Volunteer Appreciation Party Sept. 15. About 150 volunteers dined on pulled pork, baked chicken, beans, corn on the cob, salads and more while bidding on prizes and raffles. The event marked the last volunteer celebration in MANNA’s current space, 2323 Ranstead St., as the agency plans to move to a new location off the Ben Franklin Parkway in early 2017.

Morris 911-recordings case moves forward By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Mediation has ended in PGN’s open-records request for a certified copy of all 911 recordings pertaining to the Nizah Morris incident from the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. The mediation process, which began late last year, was unsuccessful. PGN’s request now moves to a final determination by the state Office of Open Records. Both sides have until Sept. 30 to submit materials to the OOR. A final determination is expected by Oct. 17. Morris was a trans woman found with a fatal head wound in 2002, shortly after a Center City “courtesy ride” from Philadelphia police. Her homicide remains unsolved. The paperwork of responding officers indicates that Morris wasn’t spotted by police until she was in the Ninth Police District, west of Broad Street. Thus, the officers avoided documenting the “courtesy ride,” which originated in the Sixth Police district, east of Broad Street. However, 911 recordings obtained by PGN clearly show that Officer Elizabeth Skala initially spotted Morris in the Sixth District and told a dispatcher she would transport Morris to the Ninth District. PGN supplied these recordings to the D.A.’s Office in 2009. The D.A.’s Office provided a copy of the recordings to PGN in response to its pending open-records

request, but declined to certify them. PGN’s position is that the D.A. is required by law to certify all responsive records in its possession, or clearly state that it’s unable to identify Morris 911 recordings. PGN also has an open-records request with the D.A.’s Office for a certified copy of its computer-aided dispatch records pertaining to the Morris case. That request is pending in Commonwealth Court. In both pending requests, PGN seeks certified copies of all responsive records, to ensure the records provided by the D.A. are done so on the basis of “actual knowledge.” The state Right-to-Know Law allows a requester to obtain certified copies of agency records, if no exemption is invoked by the agency. 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

From ‘Leno’ to ICandy, out comedian entertains, educates By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com “When people think security doorman at a club, they probably don’t think comedian with Tourette’s,” laughed Louis Centanni. But Centanni embraces all of those titles. The doorman gig is relatively new for the 31-year-old South Jersey native — he started working at ICandy in the Gayborhood in June — but he’s been doing stand-up comedy nearly half his life. Centanni said he got in touch with his comedic prowess after childhood challenges, primarily stemming from his diagnosis with Tourette’s Syndrome at age 7. “My mom told me she first noticed it when I was 5 or 6 and she was giving me a bath,” Centanni said. “I was making these grunting sounds, like clearing of the throat, and once I kept doing it, my mom and dad got concerned and took me to get checked out.” Centanni said between 700,000 and 1-million people worldwide suffer from the neurological disorder. “It mainly causes involuntary movements, physical tics, eye twitching, facial tics, neck jerking, arm flailing,” he explained. Many people incorrectly associate Tourette’s solely with involuntary cursing — coprolalia — though that aspect only affects about 10 percent of TS sufferers.

“With me, most of my vocal tics are more like grunts and sounds,” Centanni said. “There are good days and bad days. Tourette’s is an unpredictable disorder, and there’s no cure for it.” Centanni was tried on a number of different medications a child, though they did little to alleviate the disorder and caused him to gain an extreme amount of weight. “I was obese my whole childhood; I graduated high school at 320 pounds. And I was still suffering from TS. So I wasn’t just the kid with Tourette’s, now I was the fat kid with Tourette’s.” Centanni said the bullying he faced helped him develop his quick wit, before he parlayed it into a career. “I’m blessed humor has always been my number-one shield,” he said. “I believe God gave me a gift, and I’d be stupid not to use it.” He got involved with community theater as a preteen, signed with his first agent at 14 and landed his first TV job in a music video at 15. He appeared on MTV’s “True Life” series that focused on living with TS and also on Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton’s “The Simple Life.” After high school, Centanni broke into the stand-up comedy scene and has gone on to work with “Saturday Night Live” alum Colin Quinn and appear on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” He adopted the mon-

iker “Twitchels” and became a regular on radio programs “Opie and Anthony” and “Preston & Steve.” It was on the latter show last year that Centanni came out publicly. He came out to

his family as a teen but had stayed closeted in his burgeoning comedy career. “The ‘Preston & Steve’ show was about two weeks before I was doing another MTV special. So I told Preston and Steve, ‘Yes, I’m gay and I’m proud of it,’ and two weeks later the whole country knew. I was

tired of hiding it. I’d do a show with MTV and they’d want to see me on a date so I’d call up a girlfriend and have to pretend. I just didn’t want to lie to myself and to everyone else anymore.” Centanni sought to get more involved in the LGBT community this summer, prompted by the mass shooting at an LGBT nightclub in Orlando. He contacted ICandy and was hired for the front-door security position. “I really wanted to work in the community after Orlando. I feel like, with me coming out last year, this is just a perfect fit for me right now. Immersing myself in the community is helping me come into my own and that’s why this show is so special to me,” Centanni said about his Sept. 28 comedy show at ICandy. Hosted by Roxi Starr, the show also will feature comedian “Rev.” Bob Levy. The doors open at 9 p.m. and there will be drink specials and buy-one, get-one appetizers. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at www.revboblevy.com. Centanni will preview his ICandy show during a “Preston & Steve” appearance around 9 a.m. Sept. 26 on 93.3 WMMR. This is ICandy’s fitst venture into the comedy scene, Centanni said, and in a sense, it’s his own coming-out show. “ICandy has become like a second home to me,” he said. “I’ve PAGE 13

Creep of the Week

Editorial

Shame on the FOP Throngs of high-powered Republicans have come out against Donald Trump’s presidential bid, including both President Bushes. Trump has become aligned with the most divisive, most extreme, most conservative wing of the Republican Party, his name a rallying point for those who revere the American flag yet recoil at the rights and liberties it promises for all Americans. Yet the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police, the local police union, has decided to back Trump. At a time when a national spotlight is deservedly on police-community relations, the FOP endorsement is a slap in the face — quite likely a pointed one — to the Black Lives Matter movement, its supporters and allies and all who advocate for needed law-enforcement reforms. Not to mention to LGBT people, Muslims, Latinx people and the whole host of communities Trump has degraded. The reasoning for the endorsement provided by the Philly FOP is hollow: Essentially, Trump filled out a questionnaire and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton did not. “Simple as that, we went in and we participated with the candidate that cooperated. He filled it out,” FOP president John McNesby told 1210 WPHT. With the national tenor what it is — at least two more black men were shot and killed by police this week — the FOP didn’t think it should perhaps be a bit more deliberative and thoughtful in

its endorsement process? McNesby also suggested the local union wanted to fall in line with the national FOP, which also backed Trump. Both seem like sorry excuses to back a man who prides himself on dividing Americans at a time when law-enforcement agencies should be working to heal divides. It’s important to note, however, that the local FOP endorsement doesn’t represent the viewpoints of all police officers. Scores have spoken out against it, including the president of the organization for LGBT officers. Yet the endorsement sent a damaging message to the community. It said to Black Lives Matter supporters that officers are not willing to listen to their concerns. It said to people of diverse races, religions, ethnicities, sexual orientations and gender identities that their differences aren’t valued or celebrated by law enforcement. It said to the city at large that the people entrusted to protect us support hate. None of those messages is, indeed, universally accurate, but that nuance will likely not be considered by the gay youth afraid to call police when he’s been victimized, the black man hesitating to reach for his wallet or the trans woman questioning whether she should fill out a cadet application form. With this endorsement, the FOP set back the clock on progress, which, considering how far the local law-enforcement community has come particularly on LGBT issues in recent years, is a real shame. n

Philly couple has winning New Orleans wedding By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com Lindsey Bell enters contests all the time, so she didn’t even think twice about putting her and fiancée Megan Haupt’s names down for a sweepstakes to win an all-expenses-paid wedding in New Orleans — that is, until they won. The contest was part of the New Orleans Hotel Collection’s #LoveWins campaign, a series of wedding packages it launched at three of its historic French Quarter properties last summer to celebrate nationwide marriage equality. Organizers ultimately selected Bell and Haupt’s love story from the more than 400. The couple met online 11 years ago. Bell, 33, is a web designer original from Chatham, N.J., while Haupt, 36, hails from Ewing, N.J. and works as a private nanny. The pair had their first in-person meeting for dinner and a stroll through Mercer County Park. “Honestly, I thought she was shorter than I thought she’d be,” Bell laughed about her first impression of Haupt. “But she was just really sweet.” “I liked her bubbliness and her smile,” Haupt said. The couple took it slow, joking that they resisted the “lesbian U-Haul” stereotype. They lived an hour from one another but saw each other almost every weekend for

two years. When Bell enrolled at the Art Institute of Philadelphia, they took the opportunity to move in together in the city. “By not jumping into it and moving in together two months later, we became best friends and got to know one another and our likes and dislikes,” Haupt said.” It took us two yeas for us to both be like, ‘OK, this is what we’re ready for. We’re strong enough in our relationship to move into a new city and start our life BELL (LEFT) AND HAUPT Photo: Maggie together.’ I think Yurachek Photography first developing and fostering that strong friendship has been the key to us being together for 11 years.” Over the years, the couple discussed marriage but wanted to wait until it was at least legal in Pennsylvania, which happened in 2014. Ever year, Bell and Haupt vacation in Long Beach Island, and Haupt decided to pop the question, using her grandmother’s diamond, while they were watching the

sunrise on the beach in August 2014. Bell said she suspected Haupt was planning a proposal, but didn’t know when it was coming. “I was definitely not awake at 6 a.m. either so that helped with the surprise,” she laughed. Though they weren’t initially planning to have a destination wedding, Haupt said the location ended up being a perfect fit. The couple had been to New Orleans before and appreciated its small-town feel, which they likened to that of Philadelphia. On their recent return trip, they said they appreciated the LGBT friendliness they encountered, especially from the Bourbon Orleans Hotel, where they elected to have the wedding. “The hotel was phenomenal,” she said. “No one even batted an eye [because they are a same-sex couple]. I’d go down to the casino and the staff would be like, ‘Where’s the Mrs.?’ They were so gay-friendly and just truly so happy that we were getting married.” “New Orleans in general tends to be a very LGBT-friendly community,” said Megan Emboulas, Bourbon Orleans Hotel catering-sales manager, who served as Bell and Haupt’s wedding planner. “Our hotel’s location, being in the heart of the ‘gay district’ on Bourbon Street, makes us the home for many LGBTQ events in the city throughout each year.”

Emboulas said the property hosts about 60 weddings a year, most of which are destination weddings. All seven of the New Orleans Hotel Collection’s properties are TAG-Approved — earned for LGBT-welcoming policies and programs — and have hosted more than 100 same-sex unions in recent years. The couple credited Emboulas with all of the heavy lifting on the planning end. “I’m not the planning-type of person, so it was great working with Megan,” Haupt said. “She’d send us things and we’d say OK or not, she’d ask what we wanted to eat, what we wanted to do with this or that. I don’t know how she pulled it all off but it was the easiest thing you could ever imagine. She literally did everything perfectly.” The wedding was valued at $5,000. About 35 friends and family made the trip for the Sept. 10 wedding, held at the hotel’s St. Ann Cottage. The ceremony was slated to be held in an outdoor courtyard, but rain moved it inside. “I absolutely loved seeing all the excitement and nervousness in both brides early in the afternoon while they were getting ready separately, and then seeing all the nerves just melt away as soon as they saw each other for the first time,” Emboulas said. “Seeing them together, you knew that nothing could ever come between them.” “You hear brides say their wedding day was the best day,” Haupt said, “and it really was.” n

I would have

preferred a more nuanced view, perhaps simply by adding “most” before “boys’” and “girls.” I also have concerns with a spread explaining that having a baby bump is not the same as being fat. Several pregnant women are shown at the top of the page. One of the side vignettes, which usually contain funny comments about the topic at hand, shows a boy pointing to a person with a beard and a large belly and saying, “Look! He’s having a baby!” The message seems to be that if a male-appearing person looks pregnant, it’s funny — a mistaken assumption. The humor is vague enough, however, that the image could also be interpreted as an actual trans dad, if desired (and alternatively, the character has gray hair, so maybe age is the intended butt of the joke, not gender), but a different vignette might have been better. I’m also iffy about the page on families, which explains that our looks and maybe how our senses work “depend partly on our parents and grandparents.” There’s no acknowledgment of the many children who, through adoption, surrogacy or assisted reproduction, have no genetic ties to one or more of the parents raising them. Granted, this is not a book about reproduction, and is aimed at an age group that may not yet know about it — but I would have preferred “may depend” rather than

“depends partly” — or simply, “Some people look like their parents. Others don’t.” The book begs comparison to the transand gender-nonconforming-inclusive books “What Makes a Baby” (for pre- and elementary-school children) and “Sex Is a Funny Word” (for 8- to 10-year-olds) by Cory Silverberg and Fiona Smyth. Silverberg and Smyth focus on sex and reproduction, rather than taking a broad look at bodies. They manage, however, to be completely inclusive of all gender identities, noting, for example, that “some bodies [never specified by gender] have a uterus and some bodies do not.” Hoffman never reaches this level of integration. Nevertheless, to see the positive inclusion that she does have in a book from a mainstream publisher (Frances Lincoln, part of the Quarto Group) is remarkable. Her more-moderate approach may even get her book into the hands of some people who are not yet comfortable with the total inclusiveness of Silverberg and Smyth’s work. Despite its limitations, then, “The Great Big Body Book” will be a valuable addition for many families as well as schools and libraries. n

News Briefing Abuse case docketed in Montco A lawsuit filed against Germantown Academy for allegedly facilitating samesex abuse against a male student has been officially docketed in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court. According to court records, attorneys for “John Doe” paid $270 to the Montgomery County Prothonotary’s Office, and the case was officially transferred from Philadelphia Common Pleas Court on Sept. 8. In February, Doe filed suit in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, alleging pervasive same-sex abuse at the school. Doe contends he was victimized by various abuse within the school’s swim program, including being urinated on, having his nipples twisted in a painful manner, being kneed in the genital area and being threatened with anal rape. Germantown Academy is located in Whitemarsh Township, and school officials requested that the case be transferred to Montgomery County Common Pleas

Court. On June 23, Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Arnold L. New granted the school’s request.

Oral arguments next week in police dispute A three-judge panel of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals will hold oral arguments next week in an employment dispute involving Detective Kenneth Rossiter. The arguments are scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Sept. 28 on the 18th floor of the U.S. Court House, 601 Market St. The public is permitted to attend. The names of the judges on the panel haven’t been released. Rossiter, who has 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 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

Philadelphia Gay News www.epgn.com Sept. 23-29, 2016

Rossiter’s suit be dismissed. But the city filed an interim appeal with the Third Circuit, seeking the suit’s dismissal before it can reach 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 2007, Rossiter helped secure a first-degree murder conviction for Barry Mason, who shot to death Jamil Burton, an openly gay youth, after an alleged robbery in Center City. Mason died in prison in April 2015. — Timothy Cwiek

Injectable estrogen shortage causes concern among trans-health providers Mazzoni Center has joined with several other health-care providers and LGBT organizations around the United States in calling on manufacturers of injectable estrogen to address the serious shortage that has been affecting trans women for the past several months. This shortage is affecting the availability of Delestrogen and its generic counterpart, estradiol valerate, in 40 mg/mL dosages, which is the preferred regimen for many transgender women. Spokespeople for the companies that produce these injectable forms of estrogen have said there is a manufacturing delay for Delestrogen as well as manufacturing issues for the generic counterpart. Both companies apparently have these products on back order, but cannot estimate release dates. We are concerned about the Dane impact that lack of access to this form of estrogen could have on the many trans women in our care, and on trans women throughout the United States. We believe this shortage could lead to a significant public-health crisis if nothing is done. Our colleagues at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in New York City, Fenway Health in Boston and Treatment Action Group sent a letter to executives at Par Pharmaceutical and Perrigo, Inc. The letter — which has been co-signed by GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing LGBT Equality, Mazzoni Center and other organizations — states: “The impact of this shortage is a public-health emergency for thousands of transgender women who rely on these hormones to live whole and healthy lives.” The letter goes on to say: “Hormone therapy to affirm gender identity is a medically necessary intervention for many transgender individuals. It is often the first, and sometimes only, medical gender-affirmation intervention accessed

diluted or mixed with potentially harmful ingredients. Providers at Mazzoni Center Family & Community Medicine, where I am on staff, began to see the impact of this shortage approximately three months ago. Since that time, we have been working with individual patients to explore alternatives to the 40mg/mL dosage of estrogen, including oral prescriptions and working with compounding pharmacies. However, we are concerned — as are many of our colleagues in the field — that this shortage may last beyond the fall (when it was originally predicted that injectable estrogen would once again be available). For this reason, we are joining with our colleagues across the country and calling on Par Pharmaceutical and Perrigo, Inc., to do everything possible to address their manufacturing issues and ensure that access to injectable estrogen is restored as soon as possible. Furthermore, our coalition of healthcare providers and other community advocates is urging the FDA to take action by approving estrogen for gender affirmation, affording transgender women the same range of choices as menopausal women are currently given. In the meantime, Mazzoni Center has long partnered with compounding pharmacies around the country for access to injectable hormones. We have options for injectable estradiol for those who want to use the generic/compounded product and we will continue to work with these partners to provide affordable products. If you are a trans woman who has been taking injectable hormones and you have any concerns, I would encourage you to speak directly to your health-care provider. They can discuss the best options for your individual situation, and your continued good health. n

LGBT people in our region,” said executive director Chris Bartlett. The William Way is in talks with organizations — including COLOURS, The Attic Youth Center, City of Brotherly Love Softball League, the LGBT Elder Initiative, the Mazzoni Center, Stonewall Sports, LGBTea Dances and the city Department of Public Health — to determine what initiatives they may want to launch to increase awareness for healthy choices like not smoking. Bartlett said Philadelphia respondents noted it was important to them to be able to access LGBT-affirming health services in the area. Shanker plans to present the survey data from each region to local health and LGBT organizations and tobacco-cessation programs.

“Lack of LGBT data has been a challenge for us,” he said. “When we don’t have the data, we don’t know the path forward. The Department of Health will have this data to make evidence-based decisions.” Shanker has also coordinated data collections in Northeastern, Southwestern and Northwestern Pennsylvania and the Pittsburgh region. Results are expected to be finalized by the end of the month. Similar LGBT health disparities emerged in each region, he said. In addition to tobacco usage, many LGBT people did not meet screening recommendations, largely due to fear of a bad experience with a health professional. Transgender people with cervixes reported not getting regular Pap smears and transgender people with prostates did not receive regular exams. n

by transgender individuals looking to develop characteristics consistent with their gender identity. Studies have shown that gender affirmation through hormone therapy can improve psychological adjustment and quality of life. One study found that once estrogen therapy began, transgender women experienced improvement in social functioning and reduced anxiety and depression.” It is important that people understand how essential these treatments are for trans women, a population that already faces high levels of marginalization and numerous barriers to accessing competent medical care. It may be helpful to take a step back and review the role that hormones play in our bodies, and why they are a core Menkin component of health care for many trans people. Hormones are chemical messengers produced by the glands. They are released into the bloodstream, where they direct the activities and development of other cells. Hormones affect the appearance and growth of body fat, breasts, hair, reproductive organs and skin. They also help to regulate blood sugar, cholesterol levels and metabolism. Hormone-replacement therapy (also referred to as HRT) for people assigned male at birth who are transitioning to female works to increase estrogen levels while lowering testosterone levels into a range more typical of cisgender females. A person on HRT will experience internal as well as visible/external changes to their body, essentially making their bodies more closely match their identity. Many trans women have been taking injectable estrogen for years, and rely on regular injections to maintain their mental and physical health and well-being. Faced with a sudden lack of access, our concern is that some women may turn to street or black-market injections, which are often

transgender community, it approaches half the population in each region. “One thing that Philadelphia has going for it is you have smoke-free bars, whereas in the rest of the state, we have smoky bars,” Shanker said. He added the study was designed to compensate for that effect. “Historically, a lot of LGBT data collection has been done at the bars. We intentionally didn’t do that. “There needs to be some LGBT-specific awareness campaign around tobacco cessation,” Shanker said. People can view full study results from the Philadelphia region by visiting William Way, 1315 Spruce St. “It’s important for us to work with our partners to address the health disparities for

Eighteen-year-old Anthony Collao of Bethpage on Long Island had just left a party with another person when the attackers chased them. Collao was thrown to the ground and beaten.

Lawyers for the state have filed their response to the lawsuit by inmate Kamilla London. She sued last month with the assistance of the American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware and accuses prison officials of denying her access to medically recommended hormone therapy and putting her in solitary confinement in retaliation for complaining. Delaware officials responded to the lawsuit in court filings and accuse her of making unrealistic demands and claiming protections because of her transgender status when facing disciplinary action. London is serving 25 years for manslaughter after striking and killing a man while fleeing police in a stolen car.

International Rome hosts first same-sex civil union Rome has hosted its first ever same-sex civil union. The ceremony, which was officiated by newly elected Mayor Virginia Raggi, comes just under three months after a law came into force formally accepting such unions. Roman-Catholic Italy was the last European Union member to legally recognize same-sex unions. The first couple to be joined — Luca de Sario, 30, and Francisco Raffaele Villarusso, 43 — had considered tying the knot in Spain. “We had already decided to do it and we moved abroad, but when the bill was approved we packed up all our things and came back to Italy,” said Villarusso. While recognized as a step forward, the Civil Union bill has also come under fire for a controversial adoption clause. Reports have also emerged in the Italian press of difficulties if the couple decides to combine their surnames rather than choosing one family name. This is said to cause tax and identity problems that don’t exist for heterosexual couples. Double-barrelling a name after a civil union is considered a name change, meaning the couple’s tax code is changed. Further still, under Italian law, a name change is considered an identity change, meaning all identity documents and insurance will have to be changed and new Social Security cards applied for. In Italy, legal name changes are usually only allowed if a person is under police

Police cordon off central Belgrade for Pride march Thousands of Serbian riot police cordoned off central Belgrade for a gay Pride march amid fears of attacks from extremists in the predominantly conservative Balkan country. Helicopters flew above the downtown area, which was sealed off to traffic Sept. 18 hours before the planned start of the gathering. Authorities cancelled several Pride events in the past after massive clashes with extremists, such as in 2010 when more than 100 police and extremists were injured. Serbia has since sought to boost gay rights as part of its bid to join the European Union, including appointing an openly gay minister in the current government.

Australian parliament gets bill to set up gay-marriage vote Australia’s prime minister has introduced legislation to Parliament to allow a public but non-binding vote on gay marriage early next year. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull introduced the bill Sept. 14 on the first anniversary of his ascension to the top government job. He replaced Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who proposed that the public decide the issue with a popular vote and avoid a bitter debate in Parliament. But the Feb. 11 plebiscite would have no legal weight. Parliament would ultimately decide whether the law would be changed. Turnbull told Parliament that the real reason marriage-equality advocates opposed the plebiscite was because they thought enough lawmakers already supported the

Student suing gov’t over textbook that claims gays need shock therapy A Chinese court is hearing a student’s case against the Ministry of Education because textbooks in her university refer to homosexuality as a disorder. Qiu Bai, a 21-year-old student at a university in southern Guangdong province, is suing the country’s ministry of education over an outdated textbook that suggests homosexuality is a condition that can be “cured” by electroshock therapy. Despite the Chinese Psychiatric Association declassifying homosexuality as a mental illness back in 2001, a psychology textbook published in 2013 told her: “Sexual orientation disorder is a sexual psychological disorder that involves being sexually attracted to abnormal objects. It includes pedophilia, zoophilia, necrophilia and homosexuality.” The student has attempted to resolve the case with the ministry of education several times, only to hit brick walls. She said previously: “I thought textbooks must be authoritative [but] after reading them, I was terrified. I was even more afraid to admit that I’m gay. Homosexuals are already under great pressure. Additional stigma from textbooks will cause direct harm. The ministry should bear the duty to monitor and supervise such content. Speaking from my personal experience, these textbooks would definitely upset gay students.” A court in Beijing is hearing the case. The Ministry of Education declined to comment on the case. n

A Lost Jewel Will Kenney save Jeweler’s Row?

“I

understand that there’s stress between development costs and preservation, but if you can come down on the side of historic preservation, this city will always have the character and identity that it has now, and we can preserve that,” he said at a 2015 spring forum. “… there are some properties that either can’t be saved or aren’t worth saving, and I understand that, but we need to have the technical expertise in the Historical Commission and the capacity and the help to make sure we determine which buildings are worth it and which buildings aren’t.” Those words were uttered by candidatefor-mayor Jim Kenney on the campaign trail in one of the endless forums that dragged and droned on through the primary. Those words may now come back to haunt our new mayor. The battle on the historic preservation horizon surrounds the 700 block of Sansom Street, or what every Philadelphian has come to know as Jeweler’s Row. As described by the Philadelphia Inquirer: “A subsidiary of homebuilding giant Toll Bros. wants to replace a big chunk of Philadelphia’s Jewelers Row with 16 stories of housing that could forever alter the long-standing enclave of diamond merchants, watch shops, and gold sellers. Toll Washington Square was granted

a zoning permit Wednesday for an 80-unit building with ground-floor commercial space near the southeast end of that block of Sansom Street, said Karen Guss, a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections.” Perhaps the best description of this block was delivered by David Traub for phillyfreepress.com: “The 700 block of Sansom Street, Jewelers Row, is most unusual and marvelous. Not only is it offset from the rest of the long stretch of Sansom Street, but it is also widened out to almost double. The offset provides a sense of closure at both ends of the block creating the effect of its being, with the increased width, an elongated piazza, a sort of public space. The charmingly brick paved street is lined on both sides with about thirty five jewelry stores and is a national center of the jewelry industry. William Sansom, for whom the street is named, developed the 700 block in 1799. He hired architect Thomas Carstairs to design the twenty houses that were one of the first speculative multi-family residential developments in Philadelphia. Only the house on the southwest corner of 7th and Sansom

resembles the original, the remaining having been altered in subsequent decades. Sansom also developed the houses on the north side of the 700 block of Walnut Street, called York Row. William Sansom was a stellar example of an enlightened developer and deserved to have the street named after him.” In what may be a case of too little,

too late, the city’s Historical Commission weighed in earlier this month. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, “The Philadelphia Historical Commission has agreed to consider listing on the city’s Register of Historic Places three Jewelers Row buildings eyed for demolition … The buildings were nominated for listing on the regisContinued on page 2 S E P T. 1 8 - 2 5 , 2 0 1 6

A Lost Jewel Continued from page 1 ter by the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia. Paul Steinke, the alliance’s executive director, said that Toll Bros. and the properties’ owners would be unable to get permits to demolish or otherwise alter the buildings while the review process was underway. But [L&I spokesman Guss] said that was not the case. Since the nomination to the Historical Commission was received after a demolition application for the properties was submitted to her agency, ‘the nomination does not affect the review of the demolition permit,’ she said.” The irony that this battle — one in which the scarce resources of the Historical Commission

may have prevented it from stopping the demolition of Jeweler’s Row — looms in Kenney’s first year cannot be lost on this mayor. In one of his last acts as a City Councilman, Kenney introduced a bill which, according to planphilly.com “would have transferred $500,000 from the city’s grants revenue fund to the Historical Commission.” That move would have nearly doubled the Commission’s budget. Make no mistake: should Mayor Kenney choose to save Jeweler’s Row, he can. The only questions for our mayor are these: Is Jeweler’s Row worth saving and, if so, will you save it?

Malvern Coach Believes in Opportunities Continued from page 12 the game [at Franklin Field] and it turned out we were in a [shared hallway turned locker room] with La Salle and had to make adjustments where to change and where to meet. We strive for excellence, so I think the kids like the schedule, and the travel and the opportunities. It gets us prepared for these great squads we see. I tell any kid who comes here if you aren’t prepared to work hard then this team and this school probably isn’t for you. If someone is struggling to juggle academics, a play, and being on the football team; we tell them that they are not the first one to go through this and, of course, we provide support.” The coach added that he hears from his former Malvern players that they are excited and ready to play right away at their colleges.

“I think that because we try, and treat part of our experience as a pre-college deal, that they are more ready to play. If you are a freshman and travelling for the first time, you can make some bad decisions. I think our guys don’t feel so [shell-shocked] when they get to college.” Fernandez agrees: “I think Malvern is an elite football team. We have a very strong past and a very strong future. Coach Brady has done a great job preparing us. We love this tough schedule and I think I can attest to our mentality, that we want to pay the best teams and beat the best teams. Competition only makes us better. I couldn’t be more proud of my teammates and coaches after the La Salle win, and I hope this continues.”

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.

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.

The Best of the Wurst SausageFest spotlights great food in Newbold By HughE Dillon The South Philly SausageFest took place along West Passyunk Avenue (between South Broad and 15th Streets) Saturday, Sept. 10. The fest is “an autumn craft beer, sausage-themed, and live music festival that celebrates the Newbold/West Passyunk neighborhood.” The crowds enjoyed sausage and sausage-inspired dishes cooked up in a variety of traditional and unique styles (including vegan) from ten restaurants and eateries who are part of the upcoming food scene on the west side of Broad Street. The event, sponsored by AFC Urgent Care, was a fundraiser for the Newbold Community Development Corporation’s Street Cleaning Program.

Malvern Coach Believes in Opportunities Coach Brady promotes well-rounded athletes with no regrets By Jeremy Treatman

any high school coaches, specifically in football, basketball and soccer, want their players to focus solely on that one sport all year round. Some standout athletes are therefore forced to choose between sports. Malvern Prep football coach Aaron Brady does not subscribe to that belief. “I feel that kids who give up other sports or things that they love for basketball, football, or whatever will regret that. I don’t want any of my kids to miss an opportunity. We encourage them to play other sports and do activities. At Malvern, you will see a lot of our guys acting in plays and playing musical instruments. I love that.” For example, Brady said that safety Rich Heany is class president; Justin Titchenell is a class officer who is in the fall play; John Skrocki was in the spring play in 2016; Tim Lynch, Billy Carlini, Mike Hussey, and Ryan Gabriel are in the choir; and Lynch and Matt Daller are involved in Christian Leaders at school. Brady has a different perspective than most coaches of major prep gridiron programs. So, it makes sense that his full-time job title at the school is Spirit and Education Leader. Among his duties, is helping students find after-school activities, jobs, and internships. “It’s all about finding opportunities outside of the basic school curriculum … a position where I seek out college level opportunities for kids.” It’s also no surprise that Brady has built his program around opportunities. The former college coach makes it a priority to play at a new college venue every year, when possible. He had the Friars play at Villanova last year, and when he coached high school in the Washington D.C. area, his teams played at Rutgers and Maryland. This year, on Sept. 9, at Penn’s Frank-

lin Field, Malvern Prep beat La Salle for the first time in five seasons. It took a year, in this case, to get the deal done with the University of Pennsylvania’s conference service and facilities people, but Brady said it was worth it. “[There were] lots of calls, emails, interactions; not an easy process,” he said. “And even though we didn’t get to use the locker rooms, at the end of the day, it was an amazing experience. It was a beautiful night — we had a few thousand people there and we played on a historic field — that these kids will remember forever.” The game’s star was Zac Fernandez. He became the team’s number one running back after junior star O’Shaan Allison was ruled out with a shoulder injury, just prior to the game. Fernandez ran for 82 yards and caught five passes in the win. “The Franklin Field experience was awesome,” Fernandez said. “‘Friday Night Lights’ in the city of Philadelphia. Nothing is better than that. Walking out of that tunnel was such a memorable experience. But, once the game started, I blocked out everything and just focused on winning. The key to victory was controlling the line of scrimmage and executing our plays. Winning this game was huge. We have not beaten La Salle since I have been here, and we don’t play St. Joseph’s Prep this year. This is something that I will never forget.” Brady said that Fernandez would be recruited because of his versatility and impact on games from many vantage points. “I tell these college coaches he is dynamic. By standing next to him you wouldn’t understand what he is capable of. He is a special guy,” the coach said. “He is invaluable; he runs the ball, catches the ball, runs well after the catch, and returns kicks. He’s elusive and hard to tackle. He is also our punter. And if you put him on defense, he is just a ball hawk. He always seems to

be around the play.” Quarterback Kevin Doyle said the next challenge for the team is preparing for tougher non-league foes. Two national powers, Pope John Sparta (N.J.) and Imhotep Charter, are on the docket this season before the Inter-Ac League schedule heats up. “We are playing teams bigger than us, with guys who are 220 pounds running the football. We weren’t able to find teams who wanted to play us this year. So, we had to

take on some challenges.” (like the season opener loss to St. Augustine Prep, N.J.) Coach Brady says the Malvern kids are equipped to handle the mental and physical challenges the season offers “Even though this [La Salle] was technically our home game, it was still a bus trip and a travel game,” he said. “We think experiences are the most important thing for our kids. Anything can happen when you travel. We got to Continued on page 2

Southern comfort: New series explores queer life in the South By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com

A new drama series is giving audiences a peek into the lives of queer young adults living in the Deep South. “Feral,” an original TV show debuting Oct. 6 on Dekkoo.com, a streaming service dedicated to gay men, follows the lives of a group of 20-somethings trying to survive and deal with love, loss and friendship in queer and arts communities of Memphis. The show’s creator and director, filmmaker Morgan Jon Fox, said he called the show “Feral” to describe the protagonists, who are somehow all left on their own — whether it’s financially, identity-wise or fami-

ly-wise. He said the show is somewhat inspired by HBO series like “Looking” and “Girls.” “The reason I’m drawn to those shows is basically they are giving us a view into a simple version of everyday life and that is something that is very relatable for a lot of people,” Fox said. “That’s something that has been around but it’s a newer movement in TV and film. It’s just kind of seeing how life is for these 20-somethings or people in their mid-30s. A lot of them are artists or people who are trying to carve out a space for themselves in the world. That’s why I relate to those shows.” Besides steering clear of high drama, “Feral” also doesn’t conform to the typical time structure of TV shows; most episodes clock in at

under 20 minutes. Fox said streaming networks allow shows freedom from time constraints, noting the episodes of “Feral” are as long as they need to be. “I started to get into the episodic space and explore the different platforms that are available,” he said. “Things are starting to change. There have always been half-hour or hour-long episodes. That’s been determined by the history of TV and TV shows having to fit into advertising brackets and time slots. As new platforms start to pop up, I think that a lot of people are trying new models. How long do we need to give someone for a single episode? What are people’s attention spans? How much do we need to stick to these modPAGE 26

els? For me, it was a matter of creating these episodes and figuring out how long they would be later. I don’t work with traditional scripts. I sort of have a general outline and there’s improv involved. So that’s why there are episodes that are 16 minutes long and there are other episodes that are over 20 minutes. So it’s more about what we needed for that space and time.” Fox said one of the “FERAL” DIRECTOR AND CREATOR MORGAN JON FOX things that sets “Feral” In other seasons, I’m not going to shy away apart from other gay-themed shows is that from that.” the gay community on which the show Fox said he isn’t trying to change people’s focuses isn’t as insular as communities in perceptions of life in the South as much as bigger cities; as a result, the content isn’t he wants to tell queer stories that aren’t set in driven entirely by gay issues. major cities on the East or West coasts. “People are surprised at how integrated in “I didn’t set out to shatter any of those stesome ways the queer community is with the reotypes but I do like the fact that that could straight community in Memphis,” he said. happen,” he said. “I want people to under“People think maybe it would be the oppo- stand that it’s not all terrible and you’re not site.

Suzi Nash

Tiel Guarino: Burlesque, drag, pole dancing — a little bit of everything If you run into this week’s profile on the street, don’t call out, “Hey, Miss Thing!” — because after weeks of intense competition, Tiel Guarino has earned the title of Miss Everything. Miss Everything is a 10-week contest produced by Josh Schonewolf, whom you may know from Josh Can’t Cook, Miss Fish, Songbird, Bearlesque, Weird Beard Revue, Philadelphia’s Burlesque Battle Royale and his profile in this very column. He’s also producing a new show with Guarino showcasing the best and baddest of unique talent in the city. We spoke to Guarino about her title and the upcoming show. PGN: So what makes a person Miss Everything? TG: Oh man, that is a multifaceted answer. I was lucky enough to have an insight into it because one of my very good friends is Timaree, aka Honeytree Evil Eye, who was the very first Miss Everything. For me, Miss Everything was about being versatile, about not just being Miss Burlesque or just Miss Aerial or Miss Theater Girl or Singer or Miss Musician or Dancer. I’m fortunate to have a short list of weird shit that I can do. PGN: What are the rules or qualifications for being Miss Everything? TG: Show producer Josh Schonewolf told me the criteria and it’s simple. It’s open to anyone who identifies as a female performer, which is really beautiful. We have sideshow, we have circus, we have drag artists, great people who do a variety of interesting things. PGN: What are some of the skills you possess? TG: I am a classically trained dancer for 30 years. I’m a pole dancer/aerialist for 12 years. I’ve been a burlesquer for 12 years. I’m an acrobat of five years. I’ve done a bunch of theater work. I’m a yogi. I’m a musician. PGN: What instruments do you play? TG: I played the flute and the oboe growing up; the fingerings for the oboe is the same as the flute, just sideways. And the embouchure of the mouth is also different because it’s a reeded instrument. But I haven’t touched either in ages, ages! PGN: Ugh. I took the flute in third grade and hated it. I finally complained to my father that my mother was trying to live vicariously through me. In dramatic fashion, I stated that she wasn’t too old to learn it herself if she wanted and he talked her into letting me quit. TG: Oh my God, that’s funny! I grew up in the South — Wilmington, N.C. — and we weren’t allowed to start band instruments

until the sixth grade. So I played from sixth grade through high school. PGN: Born there? TG: I was actually born in Providence, R.I. Both of my parents were from Boston but my maternal grandparents migrated south to North Carolina. They had six kids and they’ve all slowly moved south. I lived there until I was 27. PGN: How did you get up here? TG: My husband grew up here and when I had baby number two we moved here. Well, to the suburbs of Philadelphia. PGN: Tell me something about you as a kid that foreshadowed you becoming a performer. TG: My mom said I came out of the womb dancing. She said I could dance before I could walk. PGN: What kind of dance did you do? TG: I did all the classics: ballet, jazz and tap. As I got older, I got into point shoes, which I hated. I knew I wanted something else and I dabbled in ballroom for a bit but when I found modern dance, I was like [clasps hands to heart], this is me. This is where I can emote and make art come out of my body, and it’s readable for an audience member. I am sad, I am traumatized, I am happy, I’m in love … that’s where movement lies for me. PGN: It’s such an amazing art because nothing else is needed but your body. But then you stopped dancing … TG: Well, I danced for a number of years and was involved in a number of things like theater, music, etc. But I was that girl you read about in health class who got pregnant the third time she had sex. So I went from having a very, very tiny athletic, toned, dancer body to becoming huge. I’m massive when I’m pregnant — 180 pounds on a 5-foot-2 frame. I lost all my muscle mass and got big with Andrew but then lost it pretty quickly and was left with loose skin and curves and stretch marks, which threw me for a loop. I was like, I don’t want to show my body to anyone! But a really good friend, Tim Kennedy, suggested I check out the cabaret group he was working with. I was 18 and a single mom working and going to nursing school but I checked it out and it was amazing. It was burlesque and theater and music and I was like, I love these people. This is my tribe! I started hanging out with them and eventually got involved in doing burlesque down south. It became my way of reclaiming my body, which was really, really, really great for me. PGN: Did you meet your husband down there?

TG: Yes, he was a student at Wilmington. I was 24 at the time and working at a gentleman’s club. I am proud to say that, yes, I was an exotic dancer. I started as a bartender and very quickly realized I could make more money as a dancer. It put me through college. I was able to put food on the table and get up in the morning with my son. Chris was working at the club as a bouncer and we became best friends during a very hard year in my life. It was one of those things where after a while I realized, I think I like you, like you. And we went from there. PGN: Did you say nursing school before? TG: Yes, I was five credits short of my nursing clinicals when I did a labor and delivery clinical. I’m very empathetic — I carry people’s emotions — and during a rotation I helped deliver a stillborn baby and that was it. Nope, nope, nope. It was too much. I went to massage school and got a degree in therapeutic massage and it was during that time that I started working and dancing at the Crazy Horse.

PGN: So you came up to the Philly area and became a suburban mom. How did you get into the burlesque scene here? TG: I’d been living here for two years and started teaching pole dance at a studio in Manayunk. A friend, Sarah, invited me to do a pole-dance performance in Philadelphia at Sisters nightclub. Honeytree, or you probably know her as Timoree, did the booking and we became fast friends. She told me later that she recognized the fire and talent

in me right off the bat. I got a number of jobs through her, mostly at Sisters until they closed. I’m also a group-exercise instructor and teach Zumba and ballet barre and a bunch of other stuff in the suburbs. One of the jobs was supposed to be a gig at a place in the Gayborhood and I was supposed to be doing pole — I have a portable one for shows — but they cancelled on us and the show was moved to the Victoria Freehouse. I got there and the ceilings weren’t high enough for the pole. Josh was the producer and that’s how we met. When the pole didn’t fit, he asked what I could do and I said, “Well, I’ll just do a burlesque number,” even though I hadn’t done it for years. Later he told me he was impressed by my professionalism and flexibility. Two months later, he asked me to participate in Miss Everything! PGN: Cool! So back to the family. Last time the kids made you laugh? TG: I have two kids and I treat them like they’re people. Chris and I are interesting parents because by night I’m this little weird muppet, funny, burlesquer, naked person and by day I’m this suburban mom … well, not so much anymore. I got to the point where I didn’t care what people thought so I shaved half my hair and dyed it purple. My daughter is hysterical. Last time she made me laugh was this morning. The kids were in the family room and laughing at something. It was one of those true, visceral belly laughs and it made me laugh just watching them having fun and loving each other’s company. That doesn’t always happen; they’ve learned to fight ingeniously. Andrew can be the quiet instigator but Adrianna’s the one who burns fire. She’s a pistol. One day my son came running up and said, “Mom, Adrianna said something bad. She called me the B word.” So I walked into the room and she was on the floor coloring. She didn’t even look up at me. Mind you, she was 3 at the time. I said, “Adrianna! Did you call your brother a bitch?” She was like, “Yeah.” I said, “Why did you do that?” and without looking up she stated, “Because he’s being a little bitch.” PGN: That’s funny. So what is your connection to the queer community? TG: I’m bisexual. But my main connection before Miss Everything was PAGE 38

Local authors host signings for new novels By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Two local authors are using area towns and neighborhoods as inspirations for their latest novels. Stefani Moore’s “Last Dance in Paradise” is set in a fictional New Jersey town in 1995 where a number of drag queens are coming together to perform a benefit show for one of their own, who is stricken with HIV. Moore said she set the story in the mid-1990s because it was a pivotal point in the AIDS crisis. “I wanted to pick a date right before when the new medicines that we have today became FDA-approved and came out,” she said. “Back in that time in the early 1990s, if you found out that you were HIV-positive, it was pretty much a death sentence; there was no hope. I remember one week in 1995 going to three funerals. People really didn’t talk about it, even after the new medicines came out. They would not admit to having AIDS. There was a stigma attached to it. It was a scary time.” Moore said anybody who knows the area will recognize the fictional town in the novel as really being New Hope, Pa. All of the characters, even the minor players, are inspired from her own past. “I’ve been a little bit nervous about how people are going to take this because every one of the characters are based on actual people that I knew or met, even the minor characters. Of course all the names have been changed to protect the guilty and the innocent. I spoke to this one person and she told me she knew every character in the book and when she read the book, it made her cry to remember these people and kind of have them brought back to life,” Moore said. “My goal in the book was to not throw stones at the villains but to pay tribute to people that I knew when times were at their worst. The AIDS crisis was the

worst thing that could happen to the gay community and yet in some way they rose to the occasion and they were at their best.” Brad Windhauser set his new novel, “Intersection,” in gentrifying South Philadelphia where a white gay driver critically injures a black bicyclist. The residents of the neighborhood can’t decide whether to unite, hide or explode. Windhauser said he based the book on his experiences as a Philadelphia resident. “Some of it was direct experience. Some of it was absorbed through research. Some of it was absorbed through conversation with my fellow residents,” he said. “Gentrification isn’t just affecting Philly, but a lot of cities across the country. People can see — if not their perspective on it — how other people would feel about it. Gentrification is both positive and negative, depending on which side of it you’re on. The goal of the book is to add as many perspectives to this issue.” Windhauser added that gentrification is more than just an LGBT issue, even though people often associate it with the gay community. “In San Francisco, we were the first to go in these neighborhoods and fix them up,” he said. “Oftentimes we have been on the front lines. Some of the thinking has been that, because we’re used to being marginalized by society, we were OK not fitting into a neighborhood. We went in and forced ourselves to make things our own that made sense to us, so we’ve always been on the front lines of gentrification.” n Stefani Moore hosts a reading and book signing 1-5 p.m. Sept. 24 at New Hope Celebrates LGBT Exhibit Center, 34 S. Main St. Brad Windhauser hosts a reading and book signing 6-7:30 p.m. Sept. 24 at Tabu, 200 S. 12th St. For more information, visit www.bradwindhauser.com.

My sister came out when I was in seventh grade and it really opened my eyes to what was going on in the world and how my peers really wouldn’t react well when people would come out saying they were gay or trans,” Forbes said. She started attending Philly Pride and became involved in Conestoga High School’s Gender Sexuality Alliance in ninth grade, later becoming president of the organization. “It was really amazing to see all of the trans and gay communities in Conestoga come together and really get the word out that [the LGBT community] needs to be accepted.” For more information or tickets, visit https://soundcloud.com/livvieforbes or call 215-222-1400.

This week’s Opera Philadelphia world premiere of “Breaking the Waves” may be a homecoming for its score’s composer, ruminative avant-garde musician and Lansdale native Missy Mazzoli. But her new opera — a Bartok-to-Bjork-inspired adaptation of Lars von Trier’s dark 1996 film “Breaking the Waves” — and its bleak, thematic libretto comes from an outsider to the area (but certainly not to the operatic form), Royce Vavrek. A much-loved practitioner in the field of opera — to say nothing of his bold work in presenting new musical works, writing plays and making independent films in his home base of Brooklyn — the openly gay Vavrek has worked with score saints David T. Little (famed for “Dog Days” and “JFK”), Ricky Ian Gordon and Du Yun. We gabbed over a recent weekend as Vavrek prepared to ride the waves. PGN: How does the Philly company process and your own personal processes differ from other companies you have worked with? RV: A: We really had a firstclass developmental process for “Breaking the Waves.” Each of the three acts had their own dedicated workshops (the end of the final workshop thwarted by January’s blizzard). I think that the more opportunities we have to develop operas, the more we understand the processes that we find beneficial. In my experience, the opera companies who commission the work really want to give us everything we require to create the best work we can possibly make. PGN: How did the process differ between you and Missy, between your first opera together and this one? And how did you two even get together considering that you are so linked with David T. Little? RV: “Song from the Uproar” was built in collaboration with our director, Gia Forakis, through a very unique process of identifying themes and elements of Isabelle Eberhardt’s life that we wanted to dramatize and musicalize. “Breaking the Waves” in many ways was a more traditionally built opera in that I wrote a treatment of the work, then a draft of the libretto and then Missy went off to compose and the libretto was further finessed through the compositional process and through the workshops. Funny enough, I actually met Missy at the Carnegie Hall Young Composers Concert where David and I premiered the first 20-odd minutes of what would become “Dog Days.” Missy gave me a flyer for the Galapagos presentation of “Song from the Uproar,” which I attended — a short prototype for the opera that preceded my involvement. The New York classical-music scene is a very small scene.

PGN: Real small. So what drew you to the story of Swiss explorer Isabelle Eberhardt, and what drew you to the film “Breaking the Waves” for your subject matter? RV: It was really Missy’s enthusiasm that drew me to the world of Isabelle Eberhardt. Missy had already written a number of songs, and so I was able to see the world through the marriage of Missy and Isabelle’s voices. Then I folded my lyrical language into the fabric and it became the three of us in dialogue. As for “Breaking the Waves,” it’s a movie that I’ve loved since I was 14, and even though I didn’t know back then that I was destined to turn it into an opera, it is a narrative that I’ve carried with me for all of these years. For me, Lars von Trier is one of, if not the, best storytellers alive right now, and so much of my work is informed by his audacity. Even as a teenager, I was writing remarkably provocative plays — one about a nun that beats a little person to death in New York City; another about a pig who flees her northern Albertan farm and hitchhikes to New York City with dreams of becoming a famous actress but ends up becoming a prostitute that appeals to porcine fetishes of her johns; and another about a woman who marries a pumpkin only to destroy it when it doesn’t sexually satisfy her. I always wanted to tell stories that were as controversial as what von Trier was putting out in the world because they felt like important artistic statements. PGN: That nun story is rough. How do you find opera in those tales? RV: It is my job to find the poetry, or the prose-poetry, in the stories, which gives Missy the foundation to build her music on. In “Song from the Uproar,” I was particularly taken by the dark language that stemmed out of her depression, her journals having a heightened quality that lent themselves to a lyrical treatment. With “Breaking the Waves,” the way that von Trier uses melodrama suggested emotions and colors that I could use to translate the film onto an operatic canvas. I think it’s really exciting when you look at the many different types of stories that composers and librettists are choosing to tell through contemporary opera. I don’t know if there is a quality to a story that makes it more appropriate for operatic treatment, but I do know that the currency of opera is emotions; the music is such a huge agent in the storytelling, and for me, the best moments in any opera are the ones when characters spill their guts out. I love writing arias that really feel like they are a vertical exploration of a character’s psychology. n “Breaking the Waves” will be performed 2:30 p.m. Sept. 24, 7:30 p.m. Sept. 27 and Sept. 29 and 8 p.m. Oct. 1 at Perelman Theater, 300 S. Broad St.

By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Bobby Flay Steak at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, N.J., is everything you’d expect from a celebrity chef-branded, high-end casino steakhouse. On a Tuesday night, it was packed and buzzing with activity. The clientele skewed sharply towards couples and large parties of guys in suits ready to pay culinary tribute to the altars of red meat and lobster. The restaurant does a nice job putting Flay’s spin on traditional steakhouse fare. But first there is the lobster bar to content with to whet one’s appetite — and it delivers. Normally we aren’t very impressed by lobster because, frankly, on its own, it’s kind of overrated in the flavor department, owing to melted butter to jazz it up. But Flay’s menu understands that all too well and gets the famous shellfish to play nicely with other ingredients, with great results. The lobster-crab cake ($19), fried and seasoned perfectly, struck a nice balance in flavors and textures between the subtle richness of the lobster and the robust familiarity of the crab. The lobster and crispy squid salad ($19) finds lobster trying to horn in on fried-calamari territory, with the sweet peppers, chiles and vinegars dressing the dish pulling everything together in satisfying fashion. But if you’d rather go the traditional lobster route, there are numerous options for tails, all the way up to 3-pound steamed behemoths to tickle your fancy. On the steak front, the usual cuts are available (New York, strip, rib eye, hangar, etc.) but we opted for the more adventurous fare in the form of the Filet Mignon Louisiana ($52), which was topped with a generous helping of béarnaise sauce and crawfish, making the dish super-decadent, rich and flavorful. The smashed baked potato ($12) made for an excellent side dish, served family-style and piping hot, flavored with goat cheese and herbs. The atmosphere definitely lives up to the swanky setting, and for sure the food lives up to Flay’s image and branding. If you are at Borgata and want to show off your good fortunes, Bobby Flay Steak is the place where you want to be seen feasting. n

A great workout in the great outdoors

OUTFEST

IS OCT. 9 PGN’S PREVIEW ISSUE IS FRIDAY OCT. 7

TABLE TALK: Stonewall Billiards players discuss the shot options during a competitive round Sept. 15 at Boxers. The current round of play ends at the end of October. The change of seasons means the indoor sports of pool and dodgeball are gearing up as kickball and sand volleyball wind down. Registration for all Stonewall sports can be completed at stonewallphilly.org. Photo: Scott A. Drake Since March, a small group of fitness enthusiasts led by Eloy Muñoz have been sharing their Saturday mornings in some high-intensity interval training in Fairmount Park. Edgley Field is the spot for the early-morning workouts, which, if you’re familiar with Falcons Soccer, you know is the space near the reservoir. It’s a fairly centrally located spot with plenty of parking. Muñoz is from San Diego and has always enjoyed being involved in the community. After moving to Philadelphia, he saw the opportunity to “continue my passion for fitness and healthy living and start an LGBTQA group” as a starting point where he could find others with a similar interest. The group is for all fitness levels, especially those who are seeking new heights in strength, athleticism and mental health in a safe, nonjudgmental and non-competitive environment. Commitment varies, with attendees ranging from a handful to a dozen or more on any given Saturday. The goal is to challenge, engage and improve fitness and commit to a healthier lifestyle. The group is pay-what-you-want, paywhat-you-can for each session. “I do not want finances to get in the way of one’s health goals,” Muñoz said. “Contributions help keep the meetup running on the website, allows us to purchase equipment for the workouts and host group socials to build camaraderie.” As the cooler months approach, the group hopes to partner with a local resource to obtain a workout space. “Weather shouldn’t be a reason to set aside our fitness goals,” Muñoz said. “As far as athletic training goes, I’d like to expand the group to cover training (and

support) in more avenues such as running, biking, even yoga and core development. Another commitment is to gain sponsorship from major resources that want to support health and fitness groups.” The group meets at 8:30 a.m. every weather-permitting Saturday. Further information can be found at meetup.com/ Philadelphia-LGBT-Athletic-Training/ and facebook.com/groups/LGBTQAthletics/. Sports and balls The 2016 Stonewall Sports Ball is a celebration of the philanthropy and accomplishments of the organization, its leagues and its members. It takes place 7-10 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Arts Ballroom, 1324 Locust St. Enjoy a night off the fields and courts with music, dancing, food and drinks with your closest friends, competitors and special guests. The evening will include the charitable donations to local LGBT charities, selected by winning teams from the 2016 sports season, as well as the crowning of Mr. & Ms. Stonewall 2016. Tickets, which include food and beverages, are $60, increasing to $70 Oct. 14. Short stops • Pax River comes to town to challenge the Philadelphia Gryphons RFC at 1 p.m. Oct. 1 at Pepper Middle School, expected to be followed by the third half at a local pub, TBA.

PORTRAIT from page 29

through performing at Sisters. I met Denise Cohen and Trish and a number of great people there. It was home to me. Growing up as a bisexual woman in the South was a challenge. When I was pregnant with Andrew, my hormones were raging and I realized, Oh, this is a real thing, not a passing curiosity. I like women as much as I like men. So Sisters was a safe space for me. PGN: I understand you’re hosting a new show at ICandy. TG: Yes, Josh and I are co-producing it and it’s called “S’Tiel: The Show” — Josh’s clever play on my name. It’s a show with people like myself who defy gravity: aerialists, acrobats, hoopers, sideshow people, all the weird and quirky people. I don’t think the community gets to see enough of the aerial badasses in this town. It will be a monthly show that debuts Oct. 6, the day after my birthday. PGN: Outside of family and work, what hobbies might you have? TG: I’m an avid reader. I usually have three books going at once: something really intellectual, some kind of who-done-it and then something really smutty and nasty! As out in the community as I am, Tiel the person needs a lot of alone time and space. Sometimes people don’t understand that. They’ll see me on the street and expect me to be Tiel the performer. But she’s a character, a caricature of me, all of the things Tiel the person is too shy to be. PGN: Kind of like Beyoncé and Sasha Fierce. TG: Yeah, it’s real but a lot of people don’t understand it and think I’m being rude if I’m not on all the time, but I’m just quiet on my own. PGN: But you do make your voice heard. There was an incident you posted about recently. TG: Yes, I was in a parking garage — the one right near Sisters on Juniper — and as I was taking the elevator up to my car, six guys got in the elevator with me. I was alone and one of the guys decided it was OK to put his hand on my ass. At that point, I decided there was nothing I could do but stay quiet and get off as soon as possible. As soon as I got home, angry and reeling from what had happened, I put up a post on Facebook. I feel if we’re silent about these things, they will perpetuate. The next morning when I got up, I was furious about the responses I received: “Why didn’t you have a knife? You should carry Mace or a taser.” Clearly not understanding rape culture. I literally did the only thing I could have to keep myself safe. I was alone with six guys, they weren’t intoxicated, it was deliberate and I made the smartest decision for my own safety and survival. Just swatting his hand away could have turned the situation into something worse. The amount of un-consensual touch that happens on large and

PGN

small scales is infuriating. Because I’m a smaller woman, the one I get regularly from men is a polite hand on the small of my back; it’s disgusting. Why do you think you can touch me without asking? It happens so frequently, and it’s my hellhath-no-fury mission to scream from the rooftops until it stops. PGN: David Letterman used to kiss the hand of all his female guests at the end of each interview. I hate that. I don’t want someone’s saliva on me! TG: Yes, consent is important! And fuck that patriarchal gender-role shit. I’m teaching my kids to fight gender stereotypes. I tell my daughter, “You don’t need a prince to save you, you’re your own heroine.” PGN: Last time you did something for the first time? TG: It was probably during Miss Everything. That’s when I created my drag persona. I’ve never been a drag queen before but it was super cool. Our third challenge week was called Identity Theft and you had to pick a Philadelphia performer and become them. A lot of the time they’re mockeries of the person or done satirically but I chose Robin Graves, who is now my drag mother and she painted me as her and I became her. That’s when I discovered that I really like doing drag. It’s super melodramatic and wild and over the top and I loved it. I may have a vagina, but I am now a drag queen. PGN: Describe your favorite meal growing up. TG: My family is Portuguese and my mom makes this traditional dish with chicken and potatoes and paprika and garlic. It’s beautiful. The most wonderful thing you could eat. PGN: Any recurring dreams or nightmares? TG: Oh, yes, but it’s really personal. It has to do with being sexually assaulted as an adolescent and the inescapable, unbridled feeling of weakness and helplessness you experience. It often keeps me up at night. PGN: I’m sure. A time period you’d go back to? TG: Ha. The feminist movement in the ’60s, bra burning and rebellion. PGN: What else is on the horizon? TG: I’m doing “Agitated” this month, which is a show presented by Honeytree Evil Eye and Pilar Salt. It’s on Sept. 28 at Franky Bradley’s. And I’m excited to host my own show starting Oct. 6 at ICandy. “S’Tiel: The Show” will be full of talent and fun, wild and wacky and wonderfully weird! PGN: Sounds like your bio! TG: You got me! n To suggest a community member for Family Portrait, email portraits05@aol. com.

MUSIC PGN

Local out musician on setting example for LGBT youth By Bobby Brier PGN Contributor Alia is a local out singer and songwriter who began singing at 6 years old. She went on to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston and now tours regularly, with many shows in the tristate area. PGN had the opportunity to speak with Alia over the phone about what she enjoys most about playing music, her growth as an artist before and during her time at Berklee and the role she thinks music can play in the lives of young LGBT women. PGN: What do you enjoy most about playing music? A: The interaction with people. I grew up as a singer, I love doing that. But I love playing and interacting with people. With being an independent artist and playing the original gigs … They’re hard to book, to make a living plus fill it out with cover gigs, because I definitely enjoy singing and playing in front of people and the interaction you get when you’re at a bar on a Friday night. I’ve met some great characters playing. I just want to be playing. PGN: Before Berklee, who had the biggest influence on you and supported your ambition and desire to pursue music? A: Before I went to Berklee, there wasn’t any one person or big influence that directed me in any certain way. At Berklee, I found a lot of … I always say that I feel like I found my voice in Berklee. I had some great teachers that really pushed me and, you know, said, “Hey, you’re doing the rock-singer kind of thing and it sounds good so keep doing it that way.” Instead of having other people who would want to shape you as a female artist into a certain sound or mold. So I would say it didn’t really happen until Berklee, and my reasoning for wanting to go to Berklee was I always wanted to be a singer and rock star and then, once there, really found who I actually was and that you can do it all the time and play and make a living out of it.

PGN: What advice do you have for young people, especially young LGBT women? And what role can music play in their lives? A: Music saved me in many ways of just being able to have that song and having out artists to be able to turn to. Now in 2016 we have so much support, through Facebook, through the radio, so we’re not hidden anymore. It’s important to have music because someone else who is younger than me who might be coming out and playing guitar … I remember growing up and listening to Joan Jett and Melissa Etheridge, and they saved me in the sense that I could listen to them and know that they were singing about something that was very near and dear to what I was feeling — instead of just listening to someone where I know they’re straight and they have their life and it’s so different from mine. I definitely think music is a savior in just being able to know that we’re all out there and could all support each other and you could hear that in someone’s voice, and now through this they have the ability to hear my songs and grow their own songs. Just to have that support is the most important thing in music. We don’t all have to be rock stars, where it’s you’re a rock star or you’re nothing, you know? There are independent artists like me. And you can still make a living and you can still have a great life and a happy marriage and do all that kind of stuff; it doesn’t have to be one or the other, like you either have to stop what you’re doing and work 9 to 5 or you have to be, you know, Joan Jett. There are people like me. n Alia will play from 9 p.m.-midnight Sept. 23 at Manny Brown’s, 512 South St. To learn more about Alia, listen to her music and see her upcoming tours dates, check out www.aliamusic.com or www.facebook.com/aliamusicrocks/.
