Trans man seriously injured in hit-and-run By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com

By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com Almost 100 people gathered last Thursday at the Gershman Y to discuss race relations in the city’s LGBT community. The Office of LGBT Affairs and the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations hosted a Community Conversation to address developments since PCHR’s initial hearing on Gayborhood racism. That event, held Oct. 25, 2016, included 28 speakers and brought an estimated 375 attendees. PCHR convened the hearing after a series of allegations regarding racist dress codes and hiring practices at LGBT bars — an issue that erupted after a video was leaked of ICandy owner Darryl DePiano using the n-word. “What happened that night was really some trauma processing,” Director of LGBT Affairs Amber Hikes said last week about the initial hearing. “I say that because we are going to be building on the energy that was created in that space

a year ago but the energy here will be distinct. This past year has been about uncovering the problems, unearthing the problems. Tonight is about identifying solutions and finding cures.” Progress made PCHR Executive Director Rue Landau and Hikes addressed the progress their offices made in the past year. Councilman Derek S. Green introduced a bill in November in response to the PCHR hearing and after reading news accounts and stories from people of color within the LGBT community. The bill, which Mayor Jim Kenney signed in June, amends the Fair Practices Ordinance by giving PCHR authority to issue cease-anddesist orders to businesses violating the nondiscrimination ordinance. Additionally, the Office of LGBT Affairs collaborated with local advertising agency Tierney to introduce a new rainbow flag featuring black and brown stripes. The new flag expanded on Gilbert PAGE 21 Baker’s original six-

A trans man last week was struck by a hitand-run driver in West Philadelphia. A minivan struck the 25-year-old victim around 4:40 p.m. Oct. 24 at 56th Street and Wyalusing Avenue, said Philadelphia Police Department Deputy Commissioner Joe Sullivan. The victim, who suffered from a broken pelvis and a fractured femur, was taken to Presbyterian Hospital. According to police, two people were involved in the incident. They included a 6-foot black man in his early 20s, who was wearing a red T-shirt and blue jeans. He had a light-brown complexion and a thin build. The driver, a black woman, was operating a dark-blue or burgundy-colored minivan, believed to be a Chrysler Town & Country or Dodge Caravan. At a press conference Tuesday, Lt. John Walker added that another woman was a front-seat passenger. No description was made available as of presstime. Walker said the victim was talking on

Election 2017

By PGN Staff In advance of last spring’s primary election, PGN sat down with a number of local candidates to explore their views on a variety of LGBT issues. On Nov. 7, Philadelphians will return to the polls to cast their votes for district attorney and city controller, as well as a number of judicial seats. Below are highlights from our interviews with D.A. candidates Larry Krasner (D) and Beth Grossman (R), and city controller candidate Rebecca Rhynhart (D). Controller candidate Mike Tomlinson (R) did not respond to PGN’s request for an interview by presstime.

a cellphone on the street corner when the minivan pulled up to the stop sign and then backed up. One of the passengers said to the victim “something to the effect of, ‘I didn’t realize you lived in this neighborhood,’” Walker said. As seen on surveillance footage, the male passenger in the back seat opened the car door. Walker said he yelled to a person on the sidewalk, “Do you know that male standing on the phone?” The person replied “no” before approaching the vehicle. The male passenger then exited the vehicle and approached the victim. “As [the male passenger] took one or two steps toward our victim, the car then moves forward to the right, striking our victim, knocking him to the ground, causing him to fall underneath the front tire, runs him over and then the car reverses over top of [his] body,” Walker said. The male passenger fled the scene. “The victim denies knowing anyone in that car at this point so we’re not quite sure if it’s mistaken identity,” Walker said. Sullivan said the victim did not indicate if PAGE 21 there was any exchange

Judge halts trans-military ban By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com President Donald Trump’s Twitteroriginated ban on transgender military members suffered a major setback this week. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled on Monday that the August directive barring transgender individuals from serving in the military encourages “inherent inequality.” She partially granted an injunction requested by theNational Center for Lesbian Rights and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders, who are leading a suit against the directive. Kollar-Kotelly’s ruling halts the ban as the suit moves forward. In issuing her ruling, the judge noted that the transgender plaintiffs NCLR and GLAD represent are “likely to succeed” in proving their claim that the ban violates trans individuals’ constitutional right to due process. “This is a complete victory for our plaintiffs and all transgender servicemembers, who are now once again able to serve on equal terms and without the threat of being discharged,” NCLR Legal Director Shannon Minter said in a statement. “We are grateful to the court for recognizing the gravity of these issues and putting a stop to this dangerous policy, which has wreaked havoc in the lives of transgender servicemembers and their families.” “This court saw straight through the smokescreen the government tried to create to hide the bias and prejudice behind Trump’s change in military policy,” added

GLAD Transgender Rights Project Director Jennifer Levi. “This clear, powerful ruling confirms that there is no legitimate reason to exclude transgender people from military service.” The ruling also called into question the validity of using social media to communicate federal policy; Trump announced his intent to ban trans servicemembers through Twitter in July before issuing a formal directive. In an unusual move, the judge printed a screenshot of Trump’s tweets in her opinion. The decision was announced “without

“This clear, powerful ruling confirms that there is no legitimate reason to exclude transgender people from military service.” any of the formality or deliberative processes that generally accompany the development and announcement of major policy changes that will gravely affect the lives of many Americans,” the judge wrote. While Trump wrote on social media that the move came after consultation with military leaders, Kollar-Kotelly determined that “all of the reasons proffered by the president for excluding transgender individuals from the military in this case were not merely unsupported, but were actually contradicted by the studies, conclusions and judgment of the military itself.” n

Toomey-led Chechnya resolution passes Senate By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com A resolution condemning antigay violence in Chechnya, which was led in part by U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey (R) of Pennsylvania, was unanimously approved this week. The resolution calls on Chechen officials to cease the “abduction, detention and torture of individuals on the basis of their actual or suspected sexual orientation,” and to hold those who have committed such acts accountable. It also calls on the U.S. government to condemn such acts of violence. More than 100 men are reported to have been detained in Chechnya on suspicion of homosexuality. At least 20 men are believed to have been murdered. Chechen officials have also reportedly urged the families of gay and bisexual men to kill such family members. Outwardly, however, officials have denied such campaigns, even refusing to

acknowledge that LGBT people exist in the country. Toomey’s resolution, which he introduced with U.S. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), advanced out of committee earlier this fall. A companion resolution in the House was approved this past summer. President Donald Trump has yet to publicly condemn the Chechen violence. “With unanimous passage of this resolution, the U.S. Senate just sent a powerful message,” said Ty Cobb, director of Human Rights Campaign Globa. “Despite the deafening silence from the White House, the people of the United States strongly condemn these anti-LGBTQ attacks in Chechnya.” Cobb went on to urge Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to address the issue. “Members of both parties in both chambers have now condemned the anti-LGBTQ Chechen violence and persecution, and it’s far past time that President Trump and Secretary Tillerson also publicly do so. Given the growing violence and arrests of LGBTQ people around the world, the United States must not back away from leading on LGBTQ human rights.” n

AIDS Library to celebrate 30th anniversary By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com Thirty years ago, it was intensely difficult for people with HIV/AIDS to access information about the disease, recalled John Cunningham. “At the time, there was so much that was unknown,” Cunningham said. “There were speculation, rumors, ignorance and fear. People with AIDS wanted information to make good decisions to enhance their chances of survival. But [people with AIDS] were the tip of the iceberg; caregivers, friends and family, medical and social-services provider, and public-policy advocates all needed information.” This was why Cunningham and Heshie Zinman founded the AIDS Library, a program of health-services organization Philadelphia FIGHT. Through the efforts of volunteers and staff, the AIDS Library has stood for 30 years and will celebrate that milestone at an anniversary celebration Nov. 10. “It’s amazing,” Zinman said of the anniversary. “It’s a legacy and I’m very proud of the impact that the library has had on the hundreds of thousands of people living with HIV. It is an amazing resource in so many ways and I’m ecstatic.” The anniversary celebration, held at William Way LGBT Community Center, will introduce the “Still Fighting for Our Lives” exhibit. The collection consists of several visual materials donated to William Way’s archives, including banners, brochures, fliers, posters and photographs. Each piece showcases historical HIV/ AIDS-awareness campaigns, promotional pieces and protest banners dating back to the 1980s. Additionally, the library will honor five volunteers for their commitment to the AIDS Library: Jacqueline Bryant, Dominick D’Ortenzio, Gregory Grant, Anthony Johnson and Samantha Spott. “The AIDS Library was here cataloguing these articles that were really hard to find,” said Ally Richman, FIGHT’s Library and Digital Literacy director. “They were in obscure health journals that regular people didn’t have access to and a lot of that work happened by volunteers going through journals or making sure we had photocopies and making sure things were indexed or available for folks.”

The event will also showcase different highlights from the AIDS Library’s history. Richman said there will be a book filled with stories submitted from community members about how the AIDS Library has impacted them. “I love hearing about folks who, either they were newly diagnosed and were looking for a place that would have information, but also folks who were trained to be able to provide that kind of support. I think that’s one of the best things about the AIDS Library,” Richman said. Although information about HIV/AIDS is now readily available on the Internet, Richman noted that AIDS Library remains relevant. Onsite staff members include case managers and librarians trained in health-information and research skills. Said Zinman, “Information is power” and it abounds at the library. “There is so much new information about HIV that you really need to stay current with it to understand it. To have that resource at the AIDS Library is amazing. It really is essential to be able to access information in all different kinds of formats at all different levels, and that’s what the library provides.” Even with 30 years under its belt, the AIDS Library will continue to grow in the future, Richman said. In 2018, the library will expand into FIGHT’s Critical Path Project, a digital-inclusion training and advocacy program. Richman said it is going to be an “educational hub devoted to the intersection of health and literacy that really expands on the legacy of the AIDS Library.” “As we are thinking about the needs of our community these days and how to continue to serve who we’ve always served, [we also want to think about] some 21st-century needs,” she added. “We’re very excited about this idea to expand the library and the offerings, in particular the educational component, to really embrace this intersection of health, literacy and technology.” n The AIDS Library 30th Anniversary Celebration will be held 5:30-8 p.m. Nov. 10 at William Way LGBT Community Center, 1315 Spruce St. Visit http://bit.ly/2ikDGjL to register for the free event.

State officials seeks dismissal of gay man’s antibias suit By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com State officials recently asked a federal judge to dismiss the antibias suit of Michael J. Semian, a gay man who claims homophobia contributed to his firing as administrator of a veterans’ home in Scranton. From June 2010-October 2015, Semian served as “commandant” of the Gino J. Merli Veterans’ Center. His employer was the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, which is a named defendant. Semian filed suit in July, alleging that homophobic superiors blamed him for problems at the center that were beyond his control — an allegation that state officials emphatically deny. The center, which encompasses four city blocks in downtown Scranton, houses 196 veterans and their eligible spouses. Scranton is located in northeastern Pennsylvania, about 125 miles north of Philadelphia. State officials claim Semian wasn’t an effective administrator of the Merli Center. A recent defense pleading states: “During [Semian’s] tenure as commandant, the facility failed numerous inspections conducted by the [state] Department of Health, resulting in the facility eventually being given a Provisional 4 license to operate — meaning

if the facility did not solve its licensing issues within six months, the facility would be closed. As a result of his inability to effectively manage the facility, Mr. Semian was relieved of his duties. No improper motive for his termination existed.” However, attorneys for Semian claim he was the “fall guy” for incompetent staffing decisions made by Semian’s superiors. “[Semian] continuously complained to his superiors that a competent and effective

from employment violated his rights in numerous respects.” Joe Grace, a spokesperson for state Attorney General Josh Shapiro, issued this statement: “We’ll stand on our pleadings in the court record.” To support his sexual-orientation claim, Semian noted in his suit that he was replaced by a heterosexual male. “The [department] terminated [Semian’s] employment because of his sexual orientation and did not terminate the employment of similarly situated heterosexual employees. In fact, [the department] treated similarly situated heterosexual employees more favorably,” his attorneys wrote. In addition to sexual-orientation discrimination, Semian alleges a violation of the state Whistleblower’s Law. He’s seeking an unspecified amount in compensatory damages for physical and emotional injuries, humiliation and damage to his professional reputation. Semian’s suit also notes his many achievements, including increasing revenue to the center about $350,000 by focusing on skilled nursing care rather than personal care. The request by state officials for dismissal of Semian’s suit remains pending with U.S. District Judge Robert D. Mariani. An attorney for Semian had no comment for this story. n

Trans man’s police-abuse case cleared for jury trial By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com The New Jersey Supreme Court last month cleared the way for a jury trial for a trans man seeking damages after he alleged being abused by Jersey City police more than four years ago. In February 2013, Shakeem M. Holmes was arrested in Jersey City for allegedly shoplifting. During his detainment at the local police station, Holmes alleges he was mistreated by police due to his trans status. One officer threatened to put his fist down Holmes’ throat “like a fucking man,” and others hurled transphobic slurs at him, according to court records. Holmes filed suit in 2014, noting that a police station is a public accommodation where anti-trans abuse is prohibited under the New Jersey Law

Against Discrimination. In 2015, Hudson County Superior Court Judge Joseph A. Turula dismissed Holmes’ suit. But earlier this year, a threejudge panel of the New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division reinstated his suit. The appellate division said Holmes “was in a uniquely vulnerable position [and] the individuals making the hostile comments were police officers, who wielded tremendous power over arrestees.” Seeking to avoid a jury trial, Jersey City officials asked the U.S. Supreme Court to re-examine the matter, arguing that Holmes’ complaints were meritless. Jersey City officials maintained that allowing Holmes’ case to proceed to a jury trial would encourage other arrestees to file meritless antibias suits against police. But attorneys for Holmes

urged the high court to let Holmes have his day in court. “The police do not get a pass simply because [Holmes] was arrested,” Holmes’ attorneys wrote. “An attack upon a person because of his gender identity is an attack upon his very dignity as a human being.” On Oct. 20, the New Jersey Supreme Court sided with Holmes and denied Jersey City officials’ request to re-examine the matter. Deborah L. Mains, an attorney for Holmes, issued this statement: “We are pleased that the court has [declined to re-examine the matter] and look forward to the opportunity to present Mr. Holmes’ case to a jury.” Mains said a trial date hadn’t been set as of presstime. A Jersey City police spokesperson had no comment for this story. n

Workshop to focus on criminal-expungement options

News Briefing Man discontinues CBS3 suit A North Philadelphia man who claimed a broadcast by CBS3 cast him in a false light as a child molester recently discontinued his defamation suit against the television station. Howard Rubin’s attorney, Matthew B. Weisberg, said in an email: “While it is this firm’s policy not to discuss the merits of our clients’ cases, we can clarify that the matter was discontinued at [Rubin’s] authorization.” Rubin alleged CBS3 defamed him in a news report connecting his dismissal as a police officer with allegations that he molested a boy. In August, the state Superior Court affirmed that Rubin’s case against CBS3 could move forward, even though a Philadelphia judge dismissed it as meritless last year. Rubin worked as a police officer for a charter school for about four years, until his contract wasn’t renewed in September 2014. On Sept. 29, 2014, CBS3 aired a report stating Rubin was fired over allegations he molested an underage male student at the school. Rubin filed suit against CBS3 in November 2014, claiming the broadcast was false and defamatory. He sought more than $50,000 in damages, prior to discontinuing his suit Oct. 27. An attorney for CBS3 declined to comment. — Timothy Cwiek

International roller-derby tournament takes off in Philly By Ray Simon PGN Contributor Like fast women and body-rocking hits? Then check out the 2017 International Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Championships, Nov. 3-5 at Temple University’s Liacouras Center. Philly Roller Derby hosts this three-day donnybrook featuring 12 elite teams from around the globe. There are also after-parties at Standard Tap on Friday, Woody’s on Saturday and Voyeur on Sunday. According to Jillian Barrett, who’s co-chairing the event with Niki Cash, there’s a lot to look forward to. “This year, one-third of the competitors are from outside the U.S., which is a big deal,” she said. Barrett is also psyched that the final game will be shown on television. “The ESPN2 thing is huge, because it’s the first time that women’s roller derby will be broadcast on network television.” The Rat City Rollergirls of Seattle and the Arch Rival Roller Derby of St. Louis are just two of the teams representing America. The international talent includes the Crime City Rollers from Malmö, Sweden, and the Victorian Roller Derby League of Melbourne, Australia. A weekend pass is $75, and day passes are available. “It’s definitely worth your money,” Cash said with a chuckle. (For details, visit www.phillyrollerderby.com.) Barrett and Cash both skate for the Liberty Belles, Philly Roller Derby’s WFTDA chartered team. Although they didn’t make it to the championship this year, local skaters are still enthusiastic. “We’re 100-percent involved in planning and promoting it in the city,” Barrett said. “We’ve had maybe eight different events where we’re going out into the community to try and spread the word, OutFest being one.” PRD’s skaters have also popped up at a recent Temple Owls football game and at Terror Behind the Walls. Their goal is to drum up interest in the sport. If you’ve never seen roller derby, it’s a blast. Each game is divided into two 30-minute halves, which are made up of individual “jams” lasting roughly two minutes. The women whizzing around the track are, variously, Jammers, Blockers or Pivots. The action is fast and furious, so the athletes wear helmets and padding. Philly Roller Derby was established in 2005 and has about 85 members, including skaters, volunteers and juniors. In addition to The Liberty Belles, PRD fields two other teams: The Independence Dolls, the “B” team, and The Block Party, for beginners. Rest assured, you don’t need to play bass in a death-metal band to belong. PRD’s members include everyone from anesthesiologists and bike messengers to moms and small-business owners. “We have people from all walks of life and all skill levels,”

said Cash, who tends bar at Standard Tap when she’s not skating. Members can be involved as much or as little as they’d like. The season runs MarchOctober. Players practice two to four times a week, and they compete in roughly one game each month. Those who’d like to do more can pitch in with coaching, fundraising, marketing or organizing events. For the PRD’s skaters and volunteers, that hard work builds camaraderie. “We spend a good amount of time together, and

we travel all over the place together, so it is a great way to make friends,” Barrett said. Roller derby is also LGBT-friendly. In Cash’s estimation, many PRD players, volunteers and fans identify as queer. Some skaters identify as transgender or gender-nonconforming. The WFTDA is supportive too. In 2016, it affirmed its commitment to inclusivity and welcoming “all transgender women, intersex women and gender-expansive participants.” As Cash put it, “Everybody’s really accepting of one another and there’s not a lot of judgment as far as what you spend your time doing outside of rollerskating.” Barrett and Cash are hoping that some spectators will be so inspired by the weekend’s competition that they’ll want to try roller derby themselves. They encourage anyone interested to stop by the PRD’s new facility, The Roller Jawn, at 5378 Belfield Ave. in Germantown. Newbies, affectionately dubbed Fresh Meat, are welcome on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. PRD has loaner gear available and the first practice is free. There’s rolling admission until the end of the year; in January, PRD kicks off a more formal training program for rookies. In Barrett’s opinion, there’s no reason not to give roller derby a shot; people of all ages, sizes and skill levels are welcome. “You didn’t have to be an athlete growing up. You don’t have to eat 3,000 calories a day. You don’t even have to know how to eat healthy,” she said, laughing. n Want to get in on all the action?

Anniversary Vince Bresciano and Daniel Mobbs By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com Daniel Mobbs and Vince Bresciano made a commitment to each other in 2003 before samesex marriage became legal. They legally married two months after it became recognized in New York in 2011, at which time they only expected “to sign a piece of paper,” Bresciano said. “When we actually got inside, I was like, ‘Wow, this is more than a certificate’ and we were just sobbing through the whole thing,” Bresciano, 48, added about the experience.

“It turned into something bigger [from there],” Bresciano said. They dated long-distance for more than a year, got a place together in New York City in 2002 and then finally moved back to Philadelphia in 2009. Mobbs proposed to Bresciano at a park in downtown San Francisco in 2003. “It was a complete surprise, though I knew something was up as we were trying to find the perfect spot in the park,” Bresciano said. “But at that point, there was no question that I wanted to be committed to Daniel. I thought it was incredibly sweet and I was very proud of him for doing it.”

“The minute [the officiant] said, ‘Face each other and hold hands,’ that was when the waterworks started,” Mobbs, 50, added with a laugh. “It became rather real.” Mobbs noted that same-sex marriage was never on either of their radars. “In the moment of the ceremony, it became rather shocking that this was actually happening to us, that we had made this decision, that it was about to bind us for life, legally,” Mobbs said. “It was such a beautiful moment to realize that we were equal in the eyes of the law in our commitment, as it was to us.” The couple will celebrate 16 years together Nov. 7 but their courtship extends even further. They met while playing pool at a Center City bar in 1993. Mobbs was playing the game with a group of people and Bresciano asked if he could play the winner, who turned out to be Mobbs. The two engaged in what they both call a “very flirty game.” They tied in the first two games and Bresciano came up with an idea for the third game. “Vince’s idea on the third game was, whoever wins gets to ask the other one on a date,” Mobbs recalled. “The third game was extremely competitive. He won and, like a gentleman, gave me a little kiss on the cheek and said, ‘I’ll call you sometime’ and left me hanging with complete excitement and frustration that that’s where it ended.” Bresciano called Mobbs a few days later and they had their first date at Copa, which was on 17th Street at the time. The pair went on a few more dates but, while they both liked each other, it ended up fading. They both eventually moved to New York, with neither of them knowing the other was living there. Ironically, they reunited in Minneapolis, Minn., in 2001. Mobbs, an opera singer, was traveling to the city for work and heard from a mutual friend that Bresciano was living there. He decided to look him up and the two reconnected.

When it came to falling in love with each other, Mobbs said he was “smitten” with Bresciano when they met in 1993 and felt it again when they reconnected in 2001. “But I knew to play my cards right,” Mobbs said. “He had come out of a relationship and wasn’t ready to jump into another relationship. I tried as best I could to be a very patient, quiet, non-pressuring boyfriend and it worked.” Bresciano said he will “never forget” the moment he told Mobbs, “I love you.” Mobbs was readying to leave Minneapolis, suitcases in tow as he was about to get in a taxi. “He had told me that he loved me [earlier],” Bresciano said. “He said I didn’t have to say it back and I wanted to be really sure. I was saying goodbye to him. We hugged and kissed goodbye, and I whispered in his ear that I loved him and he dropped every single one of his bags and started crying.” “The poor cab driver had to wait quite a while before I got my composure,” Mobbs added with a laugh. The couple will celebrate their anniversary by going to a taping of “The Wendy Williams Show,” which they have watched together “since day one.” They noted a number of qualities they still love about each other after all these years. “Besides the physical traits — I thought he was handsome and still do — we are good friends, which is really important to me,” Bresciano said. “We just enjoy hanging out together. We make each other laugh. We can talk about anything with each other.” “I always found Vince to be gorgeous and after 16 years, I still think he’s gorgeous,” Mobbs said. “The special things for Vince to me are he’s really generous in his affection with friends and family. He’s a very devoted, loyal person and, as someone who lives his life on the road, having that kind of husband is very important.” n

Creep of the Week

D’Anne Witkowski

Rick Wiles

Editorial

How not to come out Many people in the LGBT community will agree that coming out is an intensely personal and individual process. As a community whose members have faced so many years of judgment and pushback, most LGBT people can get on board with the idea that no one should be pushed to come out until he or she is ready — or judged for the process that gets him or her to that point. A big “but” must be included, after recent events. Kevin Spacey’s “coming-out announcement” this week should serve as a “How Not To” guide for LGBT people stepping out of the closet. Spacey made the long-suspected reveal in direct response to actor Anthony Rapp’s public allegations of sexual assault. Rapp made the remarks in response to the widening movement of women and men coming forward with stories of surviving sexual violence. According to Rapp’s account, he was 14 when Spacey, then 26, attempted to force himself on him at a Hollywood party. Shortly after the claims were made, Spacey issued a statement saying he had no recollection of the incident, that he must have been intoxicated and that he apologized for any pain Rapp experienced. Oh, and that he’s gay. It’s glaringly clear that Spacey attempted to deflect from the allegations with what he had to have known would be a newsmaking coming-out pronouncement. That he went ahead with that course of action anyway is a slap in the face to sexual-assault victims and to the LGBT community. Using his sexuality to distract from the allegations steals any authenticity from his apology. It says to victims everywhere that their pain can be overshadowed by an aggressor’s own struggles. It says to LGBT people that coming out is a salacious occasion sure to have tongues wagging, rather than a deeply personal moment of self-reflection. And it gives a shot in the arm to those who have tried for years to conflate LGBT identity with pedophilia and other homophobia-fueled myths about sexual proclivities. Using a coming-out process to manipulate public opinion about oneself — especially in light of alleged wrongdoing — cheapens the deeply personal and life-changing process that so many LGBT people have struggled with over the years. n

feel better about yourself knowing that you are eating what you planned to eat instead of leaving it to chance or not eating and then binging. The next tip is to exercise. If you never work out, start with at least one hour per week and, if you already do that, commit to two hours per week. When you work out, try to hit every single muscle group. Adding weights to these exercises will maximize your results. The goal is to begin developing your muscle to jumpstart your overall metabolism. If you are training two times per week, you can do 15 minutes of cardio before your workout and then choose some muscle groups to focus on. If you are working out from home, search for the most common bodyweight exercises to do. You can modify these exercises by adding weights,

increasing repetitions or holding a certain position for a couple of seconds before returning to the start position. Also, simple physical activity throughout the day such as taking walks and not sitting for too long are helpful and have great mental-health benefits as well. Remember, this is all a process and it will require discipline and a commitment, but will ultimately prevent holiday weight gain. If it’s done right, you will be on your way to slimming down.

So, who at the PTO attorneys filed an amicus brief in The Slants’ case, backing the band’s intent to decided “Queer Eye” was acceptable but reclaim the insult and inspire those within “Dyke” was not? its community rather than be demeaning. This subjective nature of the policy The argument in both cases was that at the PTO is, in part, what led to the the intent of the groups to whom the slurs Supreme Court’s ruling in June that the apply was to redefine the meaning, turndenial of the trademark violated free ing the insults into an empowering tool to speech via viewpoint discrimination.

Out Law

From Alito’s majority opinion: “With few narrow exceptions, a fundamental principle of the First Amendment is that the government may not punish or suppress speech based on disapproval of the ideas or perspectives the speech conveys … The test for viewpoint discrimination is whether — within the relevant subject category — the government has singled out a subset of messages for disfavor based on the views expressed … The law thus reflects the government’s disapproval of a subset of messages it finds offensive, the essence of viewpoint discrimination.” Understandably, the Dykes on Bikes members were celebratory after the SCOTUS ruling, submitting a request to fast-track its registration application on the logo once the suspension was lifted. However, the decision is a bit of a double-edged sword. Groups like the Washington Redskins — a group not wholly made up of Native Americans — benefit from the ruling as well. In the Dykes’ amicus brief for The Slants, they explain why they do not support the Washington Redskins’ use of that name; the Dykes, The Slants and entities like “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” are using terms that describe the groups to which they belong. They are reclaiming language for a greater, more positively focused purpose. Empowerment. Selfconfidence. Inner strength. In their first appeal, the Dykes submitted more than two-dozen expert declarations from scholars, psychologists, linguists and activists demonstrating the evolution of the word “dyke” from negative to positive associations. For a group that doesn’t belong to the demographic its name describes, such as the Redskins, this reclamation simply isn’t possible.

Instead, they’re subverting a group outside themselves by taking a negative reputation given by others and using it for their own purposes. Were the members of a football team made up entirely of Native American athletes to call themselves the Redskins, they would be participating in the same reclamation efforts as the Dykes on Bikes and The Slants — not to mention the profits the Washington Redskins enjoy, which most assuredly are not shared with the Native American community. A similar situation was what prompted the Dykes on Bikes trademark application in the first place: A for-profit individual unassociated with its organization attempted to use the phrase for commercial purposes. Most experts in trademark law welcomed the decision but others see a potential for problems. Like any landmark ruling, one side of the argument will fear a floodgate of litigation — or in this case, a floodgate of trademark applications for all sorts of potentially offensive and hateful marks. Now that PTO no longer legally rejects trademark applications bearing derogatory names, it is up to the people applying for the trademark to use good judgment — which, in today’s political environment, is a scary notion. But it has long been held that the First Amendment protects free speech — even ugly, demeaning and morally reprehensible speech. Society has a responsibility concerning the speech we use, along with its consequences, and we will now look to society to uphold that responsibility. n Angela D.

International U.N. expert: Sex laws wane, rights ‘crucible’ endures A United Nations expert says that laws criminalizing consensual gay sex have been scrapped in about 25 countries in the last 20 years. But more than 70 nations still have such prohibitions. Vitit Muntarbhorn spoke Oct. 27 at the U.N. General Assembly. He was appointed last year as the world body’s first-ever independent expert investigating violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation. He said LGBT people face a “crucible” of violence and discrimination in many places. Criminal laws against same-sex relations sometimes entail a death sentence. Not all laws on the books are enforced. Muntarbhorn’s report notes that countries including Belize, Lesotho, Mozambique, Palau and Seychelles have scrubbed such laws since 2012. His job became a flashpoint last year, when African nations tried unsuccessfully to stop his work.

Activist: Grindr used to lure, arrest gay men in Egypt Egyptian authorities are reportedly using dating apps such as Grindr to entrap and arrest gay men, as the country continues a violent crackdown on sexual minorities. Dalia Abdel-Hameed, a gender-rights researcher with the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, analyzed police reports and found that authorities are using dating apps geared towards gay men to lure them to hotel rooms, where they are then placed under arrest. Homosexuality is not expressly outlawed in the Muslim country, but a law against “debauchery” allows Egyptian authorities to secure arrests and convictions of LGBT people. In April 2016, 11 men suspected of being gay were sentenced to 12 years in prison for “inciting debauchery.” The latest crackdown came after a band of people raised a rainbow flag at a concert in Cairo by Mashrou’ Leila, a Lebanese rock band whose singer is openly gay. The rare gesture of LGBT pride and solidarity led to a severe state backlash and six arrests. Amnesty International said the arrested men were subjected to anal examinations by the country’s Forensic Medical Authority to determine whether they had homosexual sex.

In early October, 27 people were arrested in total and charged with “debauchery” and “incitement to debauchery.” Seventeen men suspected of being gay went on trial on the same charges. Online dating is the most popular way for the vulnerable LGBT community to date in the country. Dating apps such as Grindr and Hornet are location-based and give out the user’s position within a few-hundred meters, making identification easier for authorities. Grindr and Hornet have responded to the crackdown by sending users safety tips in Arabic. These tips include letting a trusted third party know your location before meeting someone, checking if you have mutual friends with a potential “date” and chatting through video before you arrange to meet someone.

Tanzania deports lawyers accused of ‘promoting homosexuality’ Tanzania has deported three South African lawyers after they were accused of promoting homosexuality. They were among 13 people arrested on Oct. 17 for taking part in a meeting to discuss challenging a law stopping private health clinics from providing HIV/AIDS services. One of the deportees, Sibongile Ndashe, has accused authorities in Dar es Salaam of holding her and her colleagues “hostage.” Homosexuality is a crime in Tanzania. Lazaro Mambosasa, chief of Dar es Salaam police, told reporters after the lawyers’ initial arrests that “they were promoting homosexuality.” The arrests followed a September speech by Deputy Health Minister Hamisi Kingwangalla, who vowed in front of parliament to “fight with all our strength against groups supporting homosexuality in our country.” Ndashe, who was deported along with two colleagues from South Africa’s Initiative for Strategic Litigation in Africa (ISLA) on Oct. 27, said at a press conference there was no crime they could be charged with, as the meeting was not about homosexuality. n — compiled by Larry Nichols

RAISING THEIR ‘F***ING’ VOICE

LGBT theater company sets up shop in Philly By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Ever since Quince Productions packed up after five years and relocated to the West Coast (for hopefully greener and gayer pastures), Philadelphia has been without an LGBT-themed theater company. But new group Voice of Equality is stepping up to take that place and give the local LGBT-theater community something to talk about. Troy Cooper, artistic director and founder of Voice of Equality, said that, while other companies periodically do LGBT-themed shows, there isn’t one company focused only on LGBT productions. “Yeah, there were some nice LGBT things in Fringe but there’s no one company solely

dedicated to giving the community a voice and producing things year-round,” Cooper said. “It was something that I really wanted to do and, at this point in my theatrical career, it was a good time to start it. Theatrically, there was this void. The theater companies have perceptions that they are producing work but it’s the same four or five plays that are commercially known and accepted, like ‘Angels in America’ and ‘The Falsettos.’

There are huge bodies of work by really good authors that no one is touching.” For its first production, Voice of Equality is diving headfirst into that realm, with the appropriate and unapologetically titled “Fucking Men,” an adaption of the play “La Ronde,” in which 10 men in 10 scenes seek to navigate the changing landscape of sexual manwhile Photos: Alexander John Ortiz ners

seeking emotional fulfillment.

The play was written by playwright Joe DiPietro, who has penned books and lyrics for several Tony Award-winning musicals like “Memphis,” “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” and “Nice Work If You Can Get It.” “The playwright is well-known in the theatrical community,” Cooper said. The title of the story might be a little brazen, but we’re assured the play is an enthralling, insightful and timely piece. “One thing I wanted to do with this company is produce this work and produce work that opens up a dialogue. When I go see a show, I sit, I watch it, I take it in and it opens a dialogue for me to say, ‘Hey, we’re not PAGE 30 that different,’” Cooper

said. “As you watch this play and you watch the central themes and the conversations, it relates. It’s a conversation that, whether you are gay or straight, you’ve had because sex takes on so many different avenues and uses in life. Some people use it as a diversion. Some people think they are going to connect. Some people use it just for pleasure. What I love about this play is that it discusses all of that. It opens the dialog that your human relations, no matter to what extent they go, are a universal theme and it carries across. And it was important to me to bring that across.” While the themes are universal, there might be a particular resonance for LGBT audiences, he noted. “As a community, with Grindr and Scruff and all of that, we’ve gotten into this very desensitized ‘sex is sex’ mentality and we don’t think about the emotions of the other person and, is this hookup that we’re having going to affect other lives outside of what is happening in this moment? What is interesting is with each character carrying into the next scene until the end, they’re all somehow connected by who they have slept with. And that is something that is very true and happens much within the community. You end up knowing somebody or knowing about somebody by virtue of who you’ve had sex with.” Cooper said at first he thought the play would be pure drama, but soon found out the stories have a humorous streak to them. “As I read it, it kind of had a serious tone,” he said. “Once I got it in rehearsal and I started hearing the lines delivered and doing the blocking, I found that some of it is really funny. It’s one of those plays where you laugh for a little bit, you think a lot at certain points and the end of the play drives the emotional

aspects of it home. What the play leaves you with is, no matter what status you are in, when things go wrong, if you open yourself up to being transparent, you’re always going to meet someone else.” Cooper said he already has the first year of Voice of Equality’s show schedule mapped out, and he hopes to present a variety of diverse stories and perspectives representing the spectrum of the LGBT community. “The next play will be ‘HIR,’ a great transgender story,” he said. “What I love about it is the transgender conversation is ever-evolving in our culture right now. It takes a family dynamic and opens up a dialogue. We’re doing ‘Love, Valour, Compassion,’ a play I have always loved. I always enjoy stories that talk about long-term friendships among gay men, especially now because I realize that, as I get older, I’m watching people younger than me that, over stupid stuff, make their friends disposable; that particular story is a very important story to tell, to cherish the people in your life and the family you choose. Then I had a director approach me who wants to direct ‘Fat Pig’ because Voice of Equality isn’t just designed to be for the LGBT community but for anyone who is a marginalized sect of the community. It’s the story of a woman who falls in love and he loves her for who she is, even though she’s a heavyset woman, until she has to encounter his friends and it becomes about her self-empowerment. The director approached and said she really loved the story but she really wanted to do it with an all-black cast. And for our one-year anniversary we’re going to do a musical for the first time, ‘Zanna Don’t.’” n Voice of Equality presents “Fucking Men” Nov. 9-11 at Ruba Club, 416 Green St. For more information or tickets, visit https://voiceofequality.com.

‘BPM’: Revolutionary story of passion, protest By Gary M. Kramer PGN Contributor Sean (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart), one of the main characters in “BPM,” opening Nov. 3 at the Ritz at the Bourse, is a radical and HIVpositive guy in the French contingent of ACT UP. He is arguably the group’s most charismatic member: passionate, vocal and fearless. He demands more from everyone because his life, along with so many others infected with AIDS, is at stake. In co-writer/director Robin Campillo’s remarkable drama, Sean captures the attention of Nathan (Arnaud Valois), an HIVnegative gay man who joins ACT UP as the film opens. As they participate in actions from passing out condoms at a high school to getting arrested for demanding needle-exchange programs, Sean and Nathan start to fall in love. They negotiate sex with condoms and, in a moving sequence, Sean explains how he contracted AIDS, at 16, during his first gay sexual experience. The Argentineborn Biscayart, who has played in other gay films including “Glue” and “All Yours,” gives an exceptional, heartbreaking performance. The actor spoke with PGN about making “BPM.” PGN: What interested you in playing an HIV-positive character in “BPM”? NPB: The topic can be melodramatic but it’s how you treat the theme and the subject.

I felt right away that Robin [Campillo] the co-writer/director] was trying to capture intimate moments and details of this gang. We were not trying to make an epic film about martyrs. The approach was centered in the characters and their relationships, regardless of the weight the story might carry. I’m not a melodramatic actor, so I didn’t approach it in a melodramatic way. PGN: You were 3 years old at the time this film takes place. What research did you do on ACT UP, and how aware were you of the organization beforehand? NPB: I was in Argentina then, and there was no ACT UP there. I had a vague memory of the pink triangles. The first time I heard about it was when I read the script and spoke to Robin about the film. I was impressed and engrossed by the spectacular actions they carried out. They were supposed be victims but they took the power over the sickness and the conflicts. They were key in taking charge of their destiny. PGN: Sean “lives politics in the first person.” What can you say about committing to a cause that you are willing to risk your life for?

NPB: Wow. That’s a big thing. In personal terms, I’m always trying to change things I don’t like. When I feel anguished, I try to see why and resolve the conflict. I don’t have the power to change everything around me, so I try to have empathy towards others. Growing up in Argentina, which is such a politicized society, we would go out on the street when people don’t please us with strikes, riots and demonstrations. I used to go to demonstrations against the [Argentine] dictatorship with my family every year. And I did some things in high school. We can change things if we want. The reason why the world is the way it is, is because we oppose things we don’t like. PGN: What was it like to (re)create the “actions” in the film? NPB: It was fun to play. I never approach acting as a dramatic voyage. They were radical actions and extreme; it never got solemn. I enjoyed those scenes and used them as a way to go through different emotions. PGN: There were some demands that were both emotional and physical in your role. Can you talk about how you got into the character’s body and mindset?

NPB: Sean was impassioned to live through sex and actions, and that’s the power of these people. They could turn intimate grief, pain and weakness into a huge … they were fighting so they could live better and longer. I don’t see any other way of approaching the character if not through the body. We’re talking about sickness. They were making a health issue visible to the world. It was crucial, and it was natural. Everything was very physical. I can’t imagine the film without physicality. The characters talk a lot, but it’s a film where words and discourses are in the direction of actions. PGN: On that same note, you have some very erotic scenes. Can you talk about creating that intimacy and vulnerability on screen? NPB: I think what’s exciting about how we shot the sex scenes is that they were not idealized sex scenes, which have nothing to do with reality. Having sex is what we see in the film — the awkwardness in the opportunity to open up to someone you don’t know. It makes you vulnerable, of course. Arnaud [Valois] and I spent time to see if we felt comfortable together. I felt he was like a brother and that was important. The sex scene was a bit choreographed, so we could move, open, breathe and play. The characters open up in that scene too. It is about the emotion. Sex scenes are complex and interesting because of the emotion. n

Stephan Hengst and Patrick Decker: Charging into Philly’s event scene When Stephan Hengst and Patrick Decker lived in the small town of PoughKeepsie, N.Y., they looked around and noticed that, though there were a number of LGBT folks around, they didn’t really have a place to congregate. That led them to found Big Gay Hudson Valley, which provided community, entertainment, engagement and fun for the region. Luckily for us, they’ve recently relocated and are now bringing those community-building skills to Philadelphia. PGN: Tell me a little about yourself. SH: I was born overseas in the Netherlands and my parents moved to the United States when I was about 2 months old. So I grew up in the U.S., primarily in the D.C. area. I went to college in the Hudson Valley area of New York and that’s where I met Patrick. He was a student at the college where I was working. It was actually my boss who suggested I meet Patrick, who was the editor of the school newspaper. I was like, “Uh, should you be encouraging me to date a student?” and she said, “No, it’s fine. You’re not his teacher.” I was the director of communications for the school, which I did for years. PGN: So you weren’t born in the U.S.; do you have all your paperwork in order? You know 45 is cracking down! SH: [Laughs] I know! Yes, I‘m good. My family has a restaurant chain in the D.C. area called The Silver Diner. There’s actually one in Cherry Hill, N.J., as well. My dad’s had the business for 30-plus years now. When I tell people how many places I’ve lived as a result, they assume I grew up in a military family. PGN: Do you empathize with the Dreamers, who aren’t so lucky right now? SH: Absolutely. My father’s run a family-owned company for 30-odd years and he’s built a really amazing program, helping elevate his dishwashers and other staff members who started off at lower-ranked jobs. He’s aways had a great awareness of who actually makes the business run and promoting them. Many of his current general managers started off in menial jobs. It’s like what my mom said when I first came out, “If you’re gonna be gay, great. Just be the best gay person you can be.” That mindset is what led me and my husband to establish Big Gay Hudson Valley and to do the things that we do. And it’s my guiding compass when it comes to thinking about what’s going to benefit our community and how I can help bring it forward. PGN: Something we don’t know about you? SH: My father being a chef, I used to determine the overall quality of a restaurant by its chocolate mousse. When I turned 12, I found out I had juvenile diabetes, and my frequent consumption of said mousses had to come to an end. However, by going to school at the

Culinary Institute of America, I soon learned that there was more to life than chocolate mousse. At some point, I want to start a blog about all of the exciting things I find in the world that don’t contain gelatin. PGN: Hi, Patrick, give me your 411. PD: I was born in Watertown, N.Y., up north. Grew up there and moved to the Hudson Valley to go to the CIA and spent the last 15 years of my life up there, though I spent a lot of time in Manhattan for work. After school, Stephan and I bought a house, got married, the whole thing. Right after graduating, I did a lot of work in television production, creating food-related media in the Hudson Valley and New York City, including working with Rachael Ray; I was one of the food stylists for her talk show and I also put together the green-room trays for all the celebrity guests. One of the best was Will McCormick from “Will & Grace.” It gave me a chance to thank him for the show, which made it possible for me to come out to my family. PGN: Those trays are legendary! PD: Yes, it was a great job for a 23-yearold. I work now for the Scripps Networks, who are the parent company for the Food Network, HDTV, the Travel Channel. I do digital-content production for them. So I split my time between home, New York and the company headquarters in Knoxville, Tenn. PGN: Tell me about the fam. PD: My mom lives in Florida and my dad and stepmom still live in Watertown. They’re a relatively quiet bunch; Mom is a nurse and my dad recently retired after working for the Department of Transportation for 30 years. My younger sister and I spent summers hanging out at the lake. PGN: Something I should know about you? PD: Well, I just can’t get enough of indie crafting, catchy lounge music, clean laundry smell, gender impersonators or lime-andmint-flavored drinks. I wouldn’t be caught dead with mismatched socks, things made of kiwi, bed sheets with creases, a dirty car interior or burnt toast. And when I’m not blogging, I’m way into knitting scarves, making things taste delicious and soaking up some HBO-produced drama. PGN: Nice! You’re both culinary people; who cooked the first dish for whom? SH: It was me. I was living in a basement apartment. I’d only been there for four weeks and I had no food except for a can of black beans, eggs and some onions. And Patrick was a vegetarian at the time! It was a pretty horrible meal. PGN: Where were you living right before moving here?

PD: We were just down the street from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie. It was a great community, lots of diversity. We realized that we had a lot of overlapping friends networks and as we spoke to people about things that were happening in the area or people doing interesting things, even though it was a small community, the different social circles were not very well-connected. So we started a Facebook page and a blog to share information, things we thought people should check out. The Hudson Valley itself is a very broad geographic area that stretches from Albany to New York City, along the Hudson River. Eventually we started producing our own events, everything from nights out at a particular bar with live music to bowling nights to producing Poughkeepsie’s Pride event, which we called Queen City Pride; Poughkeepsie was historically known as the Queen City of the Hudson River. One of our favorite events was our family-friendly festival called Out on the Farm. We’d take over a dairy farm, bring in a Bluegrass band and do hay rides and farm

activity, but our friends were looking for different activities. We had parents who wanted events you could bring kids to ... PD: For me, I’m someone who doesn’t stay up late. Most nights I’m in bed by 9 p.m., so we wanted to create an ecosystem where someone could go out on a Wednesday night to an event after work that started at, say, 7 p.m., have fun for a few hours and still be able to go to work the next day. SH: We produced a lot of events featuring talent that people knew or talent that we found and wanted to introduce people to. PD: And we took advantage of the great spaces around us. We lived right down the street from Vassar and they have an amazing art museum, so we’d hold a night there with a private tour, things like that.

PGN: Were you surprised to find so many LGBT people in your area? When I hear Poughkeepsie, I don’t think of a great gay mecca. SH: [Laughs] It’s funny, when we first moved to the area, there was not a single out gay member of the City Council. Zero. Now half the council is gay. There was a very conservative mayor, now we still have a Republican mayor, but he’s very socially liberal. Over the time that we were here, we were involved in some significant events. In 2009, we were married as part of a movement towards marriage equality. It was the quadricentennial of the discovery of the Hudson River. We were invited by the mayor of Amsterdam to get married in Amsterdam to encourage New York State to pass marriage-equality laws. To say, “Hey, if you won’t marry your own residents, we will do it for you.” They were looking for one person from New York and one from the Netherlands to participate. Since I was born in Holland and Patrick is from New York, we were perfect. It was a big publicity event. Patrick and I were STEPHAN HENGST (LEFT) AND PATRICK DECKER in the Gay Pride Parade in New York with the deputy mayor of Amsterdam and the chief of police, both lesbians, on a big tours. It was a BYOB picnic and people float with a 16-foot wedding cake, and then could come and hang out for the day. we flew to Amsterdam and got married on a SH: What I think really was the catalyst for barge in a big ceremony there for their Pride. us starting BGHV was that we lived in an When we came back, we spent a lot of time area with so many LGBT folks who’d leave working with our senator, Steven Saland. the city and come up to the valley to retire or get weekend homes, who were in a differ- He was the hold-out vote who had originally stopped gay marriage in the state.

Jewish film fest spotlights LGBT-themed drama, comedy By Gary M. Kramer PGN Contributor The Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival features two queer films in this year’s program — one is a dramatic character study, the other a farcical comedy. The festival opens Nov. 4 with the Philadelphia premiere of “The Cakemaker” at the Gershman Y. This gentle, absorbing drama, written and directed by the openly gay Ofir Raul Graizer, has businessman Oren (Roy Miller), a married father from Israel, frequenting a German café where Tomas (Tim Kalkhof) works and bakes. The two men begin a passionate tryst that ends when Oren is killed in a car accident. This tragedy prompts Tomas to travel to Jerusalem to investigate Oren’s life. He visits the café owned by Oren’s widow, Anat (Sarah Adler), and gets a job washing dishes for her. One day, he takes the liberty of making cookies; baking seems to be the only thing that gives Tomas pleasure. Unfortunately, his actions get him in trouble with Anat’s brother, Motti (Zohar

Shtrauss), because Tomas is not kosher and the café is. However, Tomas’ pastries bring the café such success that Anat cares

little about the religious laws. Now, fully ingratiated into a new life with his late lover’s family, Tomas feels less lonely, even though he is still living a lie; he does not tell Anat he is gay, or that

he once knew Oren. “The Cakemaker” builds its drama on these eventual discoveries, but the film is less about the characters’ sexuality, and more about the intimate connections they create. Graizer shows how Tomas and Anat reflect on their lives in the light of Oren’s death. One of the most moving scenes has “THE CAKEMAKER” Tomas wearing Oren’s clothes, giving both him and Anat an emotional trigger about the man they both loved and lost. The messages of “The Cakemaker,” however, are not just about how to cope with grief. Graizer emphasizes the importance of self-expression. He teaches her how to bake, and her son, Itai (Tamir Ben Yehuda), how to apply icing. She shows him the importance of family, and he even bonds with Oren’s mother, Hanna (Sandra Sadeh). The film may get contrived — and for some viewers it may strain credibility — when Anat makes a pass at Tomas, who accepts it, but the emotion in this moment is what’s important here. Graizer coaxes strong performances from Kalkhof and Adler, who communicate with each other in English. The filmmaker also showcases the food well. (Graizer has a background in gastronomy). “The Cakemaker” is an affecting story about love, loss and pastry. On Nov. 12, the festival will screen “Family Commitments” at the Gershman Y. This amusing German farce has David (Maximilian von Pufendorf) proposing to his Arab boyfriend, Khaled (Omar El-Saeidi). However, there are complications that may jeopardize any impending nuptials. Khaled is not yet out to his father, Faisal (Ramin Yazdani), which irritates David. In contrast, Khaled is unhappy that David has not cut the apron strings binding him to his Yiddish-spouting mother, Lea (Maren Kroymann). That Lea disapproves

of Arabs is another complication, which gets worse when Lea becomes Faisal’s landlord — she plans to evict his family. And, oy vey! If all this drama was not enough, Sarah (Franziska Brandmeier), a teenage painter, turns up on David’s doorstep nine-months’ pregnant claiming that he is the father. Lea, who wants a grandchild, is thrilled by this last development and orders a paternity test. But David wants to give the baby up for adoption. Khaled helps Sarah with her maternity care, which prompts Faisal to think Khaled is going to be a father. Meanwhile, other issues arise, including one that concerns David’s failing art gallery. He is supporting a gay painter, Nils Nürtinger (Hendrik von Bültzingslöwen), in the attic. Nils would rather have sex than create art, as a series of comic encounters proves. Khaled also has outside pressures at work. He has an upcoming teaching exam, and is dealing with both a homophobic teen he coaches on the soccer field as well as a headmistress who hopes to seduce Khaled. What transpires, as in any good farce, is a series of lies and misunderstandings, as well as pretenses and reversals of fortunes. It is all set to a lively klezmer beat. “Family Commitments” is entertaining as the characters figure out how to get what they want from other people, even if it involves a little forgery, blackmail or compromises.

“FAMILY COMMITMENTS” The film makes light of coming out, domineering Jewish mothers and traditional family values, skewering some of the very stereotypes it reinforces. But this undemanding and entertaining comedy also shows how gay men can assert themselves and create a non traditional family, and get both self-respect and respect from others in the process. n The Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival unspools Nov. 4-19 at various locations.

‘Phantom’ to haunt Philly this fall

Theater & Arts Annie Walnut Street Theatre presents the beloved musical about the charming orphan Nov. 7-Jan. 7, 825 Walnut St.; 215-574-3550. Brian Posehn The comedian seen on “The Sarah Silverman Show” and “Big Bang Theory” performs Nov. 9-11 at Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Sansom St.; 215496-9001.

By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Halloween might be over, but there are still some macabre thrills to be had in Philly as the new touring production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera” swoops into town through Nov. 12 at the Academy of Music. The original musical, based on the classic French novel about a lurking villain sabotaging and terrorizing a theater, was an award-winning smash when it first opened in London in 1986 and on Broadway two years later. Actor David Benoit, who plays Monsieur Richard Firmin in the production, said this latest revival really steps up its game to compete with the other theatrical blockbusters making the rounds today. “It’s a good reinvention of the original,” he said. “They way they approach the material, it gets right to the true storytelling. It’s grittier, a little sexier and it’s just as epic as the original, but there’s a more realistic take to it.” We had to ask what keeps audiences flocking back to a 30-year-old musical, which is based on a story that is well over 100 years old. Benoit said the show’s enduring appeal, much like the Phantom himself, is a mystery to him.

“I just know that Andrew Lloyd Weber writes great hooks and people love his music,” he said. “It has a pop influence but it’s not a pop musical. I wish I knew why people keep coming back but people come in droves. It has to be because of the music because we’ve changed the look and the feel of the original. The only thing that remains of the original is the music. Even our take on the characters is different. On this tour, we take advantage of all the technological, theatrical advances that have been made and give the production a kick, make it feel a little more modern. I think we really accomplish that. You get your money’s worth because it’s not a cheap production.” Benoit said the show’s gothic themes and dazzling visuals are drawing in and winning over younger theatergoers as well. “The makeup is pretty amazing. The horror feel of it really attracts the young people, and the take on the characters is slightly younger than the original. The Phantom isn’t a father figure anymore; he’s a love interest and there’s a love triangle.” n Broadway Philadelphia presents “The Phantom of the Opera” through Nov. 12 at Kimmel Center’s Academy of Music, 240 S. Broad St. For more information or tickets, visit www.kimmelcenter.org or https://ustour.thephantomoftheopera.com.

NEW FEATHERS’ SEPTEMBER PREMIERE OF “INTERVIEWESE” AT THE RAVEN Photo: MKHammerstein.com By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com The Raven Resort in New Hope is giving playwrights a forum to air their new work this fall. New Feathers, a company founded by producers Mandee K. Hammerstein and Greg T. Nanni, is presenting hand-picked reading of new material the first Sunday of the month through the end of the year. Hammerstein said New Feathers was approached by The Raven when the resort was trying to looking for new programming for its Oak Room. “The Raven was in the middle of trying to figure out how they wanted to fill that stage,” she said. “The room is just gorgeous but it’s very intimate; it seats about 60 people, comfortable. The stage is very lux. It’s velvet with all kinds of great woodworking. I thought that it would serve great for reading of new works. Minimalistic readings and being a part of the creative process, that is something that should be for everybody to enjoy and see.” Hammerstein said the reading series has been a hit since the end of the summer

with audiences in New Hope, who she said are showing up to witness and be a part of the creative process of new shows. “People who are coming get to interact with the directors and the actors,” she said. “They’re excited to be a part of something new. Some people are there who know the playwright and are excited to see what they’ve got going next, but more of the people find this on Facebook.” “New Theatrical Shorts,” featuring a series of shorts by the Witherspoon Circle, is up next on Nov. 5. “The shorts are terrific because there’s something for everyone,” Hammerstein said. “So no matter what your sense of humor or entertainment style is that you prefer, you are going to find something that you really enjoy. We really try to make it a nice variety. And they’re short, about 10 to 12 minutes each, and you rotate the talent too, which is great.” “Angst,” a comedy about the American Dream by Nanni, follows Dec. 3. n For more information, visit http://www.theravennewhope.com/events-1/2017/8/6/new-feathers-aplaywright-reading-series-devoted-to-new-works.

PORTRAIT from page 33

including 2009, right after we were married. We spent the next two years gathering community members and working with a lot of straight allies to show him that this was something the majority of people supported and we finally got him to vote yes in 2011. Once New York was on board with marriage equality, a lot of other states followed. PD: So yes, there was a significant community out there; they were just spread around more and had different needs than people in the city. They just needed a little organizing. SH: I think the community itself didn’t even realize how diverse we were because people stayed in their own circles. We started doing a pool party a few years ago. We called it Sundae Funday and held the event at a hunting lodge that had a big pool. We made it clear from the start that all our events were open to everyone and we would respect everyone, which included restrooms that could be rebranded gender-neutral, etc. One of the biggest groups that came were people from the trans community. There were so few events where they felt welcome and zero pool parties where they felt comfortable. Many of them said it was the first time they’d ever worn a swimsuit in public. That was something we were always very proud of, that whether it was families, women, trans people, different ethnicities or races, we always made sure we were welcoming and that it was a safe space for everyone. PGN: Any story stand out of someone who was changed by finding community at one of your events? PD: Because things were so spread out and there weren’t really any gathering places to go, our events became the place to connect and over the years we’ve been responsible for a lot of couples who met at one of our events and are now married with children, living happily ever after. SH: And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in Home Depot or somewhere and had parents say, “I saw you in the papers, I just want to let you know that my son went to your all-ages event and it was the first time he ever felt safe and welcome. He met lots of friends there and it really meant a lot to me.” There’s also the 85-year-old woman who came to our picnic one year. She was just sitting by herself wearing a long flowy dress, with long white flowy hair with a little dandelion crown that she made from flowers she found on the estate. I went over and introduced myself and asked her what brought her. She proceeded to lay out all these press clipping in front of her about her daughter. She told me that her daughter was gay but had died of cancer. She’d read about the picnic in the newspaper and thought it was something the daughter would have loved so she wanted to come in her honor. There were events where we’d have 20-somethings in a room talking to 70-year-olds and learning about life before this bubble that we’re all living in now, teenagers who came to an event and then came out to their parents; I could go on and on.

PROFILE PGN

PGN: So what brought you to Philly? PD: We decided it was time for a change and Philly being so close to his family in D.C. and my work in New York, it was an easy decision. We had friends here so we know it was a great city with a thriving LGBT community. SH: Yes, the art and culture and just the heartbeat of the city really attracted us. As trained chefs, we already knew the food scene was great. So we moved to a one-bedroom, which was quite a change from our home on a quarter-acre upstate. Patrick still commutes to New York two days a week and we both also work from home. We’re most excited about our new endeavor Pink Stallion, which is our new entertainment company. We have been doing events for so long through BGHV that, even though Philly has a great established community, we still think we have a lot we can add, producing original events and experiences. Our first event will bring drag legend Varla Jean Merman to the Ruba Club in Northern Liberties. She’s a P-Town regular and I’ve been friends with her for over 20 years. Then we’re bringing Hedda Lettuce on Dec. 15 for her holiday show. We also plan to do some events to get people out of the city and bars. And in January we’re working with a queer rocker, Cunio, who is amazing. He’s going to be doing a tribute to Etta James. PGN: At last! So now, on to some random questions. In another life I probably was ... SH: Probably a circus-sideshow performer or a ringmaster. Either that or Julie the cruise director. PD: Most likely a school teacher. PGN: Something of your partner’s you want to throw away? PD: Stephan is a perpetual collector of paper — business cards, fliers and pamphlets and stuff that capture his experiences — but I hope that one day we can find a way to store them in an organized fashion so they’re not all over the place. SH: Patrick loves shoes and he keeps them all for a very long time. Even those that shouldn’t still be here. PD: I do. PGN: What’s a television show you’d want to see with full nudity? PD: My secret guilty pleasure is Monday Night RAW, WWE wrestling, but they’re all practically nude already! SH: “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” That might shatter some illusions, though. PGN: What’s a favorite line? SH: It’s from RuPaul: “And if you can’t love yourself, how the heck are you ever gonna love anyone else?” PD: I’ll second that. n For more information about Pink Stallion, visit www. pinkstallionevents.com.
