Assault victim sues nightclub

Philly couple recounts tragedy in Paris By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com

By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Nicholas D. Forte, a South Philadelphia gay man who was brutally assaulted outside Voyeur Nightclub, filed suit Nov. 5 against the popular night spot. Around 2 a.m. Nov. 10, 2013, Forte was assaulted by Miguel Maldonado and Matthew Morris outside Voyeur, located at 1221 St. James St. in the Gayborhood. Both were found guilty of aggravated assault, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person in February. Forte’s injuries included a broken eye socket, a broken nose, a broken rib and multiple facial fractures. According to court records, some o f Fo r t e ’s injuries are permanent. His medical expensesexceed $100,000. Forte contends the men targeted him because he’s gay. “Upon information and belief, [Forte’s] assault was motivated by his sexual orientation,” his suit states. However, Philadelphia police refused to classify the incident as a hate crime. Additionally, Forte contends Maldonado and Morris were served alcohol at Voyeur prior to assaulting him, even though they were visibly intoxicated. Maldonado was employed as a bouncer at Voyeur at the time of the incident. “Alcohol was improperly supplied to [Morris and Maldonado] and consumed by them while in a visibly intoxicated state,” Forte’s PAGE 21 suit states.

Trans man sues MontCo supermarket By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com The trouble started for Sam Melrath when he cut his hair. When the trans man from Northeast Philadelphia revealed a close crop during a fall 2013 shift at the Giant Food Store in Huntingdon Valley, his manager pulled him aside. Melrath thought his manager would compliment the new look. Instead, she said it would create a problem because customers “might mistake [him] for a man.” “She said, ‘That’s not how we do things here,’” Melrath told PGN this week. About two months later, Melrath said his manager informed him that the uniform policy had changed. Instead of everyone wearing the same shirts, men would wear collared shirts and women would wear low-cut T-shirts that Melrath said showed cleavage. “I knew I would feel uncomfortable,” he said. “I was scared because I thought I wouldn’t get another job. Giant’s a big corporation. If they can’t accept me, will anybody?” Melrath filed a discrimination claim Nov. 11 in U.S. District Court against the grocery chain. Samantha Krepps, a Giant spokesperson, told PGN that the company’s policies “strictly prohibit discrimination of any kind, including based on gender identity, and we note that the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has dismissed this complaint based upon its own investigation.

When they arrived in Paris last Thursday morning, Philly attorney Angela Giampolo was excited to show her girlfriend, psychotherapist Kristina Furia, around the City of Light: It was Giampolo’s 12th visit to the French capital, and Furia’s first. But, a day later, their vacation was upended by the worst terrorist attack to hit France in decades. On Friday night, 129 people were killed in six coordinated shootings and bombings throughout Paris. ISIS has since claimed responsibility for the attacks. The couple, who are both PGN columnists, was dining at a restaurant in the Seventh Arrondisement when the attacks began. They were about 1.5 miles from The Bataclan concert hall, where the majority of the devastation took place; 89 people were killed there. The couple said they began to hear a buzz throughout the restaurant that “something” had happened. At first, the diners, whom they noted are accustomed to frequent bomb threats in the city, didn’t seem concerned. The women were speaking with the owner of the restaurant when their phones began buzzing with news alerts about the attacks and, soon after, Facebook messages from family and friends asking about their safety. The atmosphere at the restaurant quickly became frantic, they said, and word spread that people were urged to return to their hotels and homes. “The owner was very sweet as everyone in the restaurant started to learn about the attacks,” Giampolo said. “She put us in an Uber with a bottle of wine and huge hugs and kisses.” After navigating through heavy traffic, they arrived at Hotel Napoleon, a small, family-owned hotel near the Arc de Triumph

where they were staying. They had to be let in the front doors, which were locked behind them. The couple spent the rest of the night watching the news in the lobby. “A lot of people had headphones in and were streaming the news while others were taking phone calls informing people that they were safe,” they said about the atmosphere in the hotel. “The lobby suddenly became a highend bunker; even though theoretically everyone could have gone up to their rooms, I think we all just craved a bit of community and maybe even safety in numbers in that first night. There was a lot of fear and a really somber tone.” Giampolo and Furia spent time connecting with loved ones back home through social media. They both took advantage of Facebook’s activation of its safety-check-in feature, which allowed them to notify everyone on each of their respective friends lists that they were safe. Giampolo noted that the emergence of social media distinguished the immediate aftermath PAGE 21

LGBT law-enforcement group created By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com Philadelphia area law-enforcement officials gathered Nov. 9 for the first meeting of the Greater Philadelphia Gay Officer Action League, called GOAL. The meeting was closed to the public, but Nellie Fitzpatrick, director of the Philadelphia Office of LGBT Affairs, shared information after the fact. Fitzpatrick said LGBT-identified officers shared their experiences in police departments. Deputy Commissioner Kevin Bethel, the LGBT liaison with the Philadelphia police, spoke about the need to support a safe working environment and increase respect for out officers in all ranks, districts and counties. “The Gay Officer Action League is a fraternal organization of LGBT law-enforcement officers working to create positive change throughout the law-enforcement

News Briefing Trans Day of Remembrance to mourn losses, celebrate progress Philadelphia organizers are bringing a hopeful angle to the local observance of the annual International Transgender Day of Remembrance, which takes place from 6-9 p.m. Nov. 20 at the William Way LGBT Community Center, 1315 Spruce St. A ceremony has been held in the city for at least the last five years. This is the second time the event will include local performers to help celebrate progress in the transgender community, after the traditional reading of the names of those who have been lost to violence, including local murder victims Kiesha Jenkins and Londyn Chanel, and lighting candles in their memory. The event is free and open to the public. “A lot of people have said they’re tired of only coming together to mourn,” said Deja Lynn Alvarez, chairwoman of the committee organizing the event. “When it was first started, it was only about getting together for the losses. Quite honestly, at that point in time, all we had was loss. A lot of people don’t even realize the progress we’ve made in the community.” Alvarez, who recently participated in a panel discussion with trans Latina activist Jennicet Gutiérrez, said the community is increasingly visible and

community and the communities they serve by supporting LGBT officers and their families,” said Mayor Michael Nutter in a video statement posted to YouTube by LGBT Philly, the channel for the city Office of LGBT Affairs. GOAL groups also exist in New York City, Chicago and New England. In a statement, Fitzpatrick called it a new chapter in the Philadelphia Police Department’s history, which “undoubtedly marks profound growth and progress.” She said the league has tremendous work ahead to reform community-police relations and the criminal and legal systems. “Thanks to the brave and pioneering efforts of these officers,” Fitzpatrick said, “social-justice activists and advocates are no longer fighting alone from the outside, against a seemingly impermeable force, and we will see further progress through these change agents within.” ■ vocal. Attendees can share their experiences at the ceremony, Alvarez said. She added the last hour will be dedicated to entertainment, featuring a singer under the trans umbrella who has auditioned for “American Idol” and “The Voice.” Three trans youth will also perform. — Paige Cooperstein

Council supports LGBT adoption rights A Philadelphia City Council resolution supporting LGBT equality in adoption and foster-care matters throughout the country was expected to be unanimously approved Nov. 19. The resolution, introduced on Nov. 12 by City Councilmember Cindy Bass and co-sponsored by all 14 of her colleagues, urges passage of the federal Every Child Deserves a Family Act. The measure would ensure LGBT equality in adoption and foster-care matters throughout the country. It’s currently pending in a committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. Specifically, the measure would prohibit adoption and foster-care agencies from delaying or denying a person’s opportunity to become a prospective adoptive parent based on the person’s sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status. “[The measure] will offer more children the chance to live with stable and loving families,” the resolution states. “Although the City of Philadelphia already has a nondiscrimination policy concerning sexual preference, gender identity or marital status for potential adoptive parents, other parts of the country are suffering.” PAGE 21

By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com According to a Federal Bureau of Investigations report released this week, there was only one hate crime motivated by an individual’s sexual orientation last year in Pennsylvania — and it was not the highly publicized gay bashing in Center City Philadelphia. The sole sexual-orientation-motivated incident included in the FBI’s 2014 Hate Crimes Statistics report occurred in University Park in the first half of the year. Overall, law-enforcement agencies in Pennsylvania reported 50 bias incidents in 2014. In 2013, the state reported 64 incidents, eight of which were antigay in nature. In addition to the one reported antigay incident in 2014, 34 were related to race, eight to religion and seven to ethnicity. There were no reported bias incidents regarding disability, gender or gender identity in Pennsylvania last year. As PGN previously reported, Philadelphia Police did not report the Sept. 11, 2014, attack on two local gay men as a bias-motivated crime to Pennsylvania State Police. Although sexual orientation and gender identity are not included as protected classes in the state’s hate-crimes law, local

police departments are required to report confirmed bias incidents to state authorities on a monthly basis. That information is then passed on to the FBI for inclusion in its annual report, which was released Tuesday. Notably, 1,457 Pennsylvania agencies participated in the reporting process, the highest number across the nation by far. However, only 22 of those agencies reported bias incidents. Conversely, 509 New Jersey agencies participated, and 126 of those reported 336 incidents. Nationally, there were 5,462 single-bias incidents in 2014, down from 5,928 the previous year. Of the 2014 incidents, race was the primary motivating factor (47 percent), followed by sexual orientation (18.6 percent) and religion (18.6 percent). Genderidentity-related incidents accounted for 1.8 percent of the crimes. Of the sexual-orientation-related incidents, 58 percent were classified as antigay male, 23.6 percent as anti-LGBT, 14.3 percent as anti-lesbian, and 2.6 percent as anti-bisexual. About 1.5 percent were categorized as anti-heterosexual. Of gender-identity-related incidents, 63.3 percent were classified as anti-transgender and 36.6 percent as anti-gender-nonconforming. n

HEALTH AND WELLNESS DIRECTORY Activist releases documents in ’92

gay-bashing murder of Navy man By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com With Veterans Day this month, LGBT activist Michael Petrelis wanted to shed light on Allen Schindler, a gay man who was murdered in Japan in 1992 while serving in the Navy. Over 20 years after Schindler’s shipmate, Terry Helvey, was sentenced to life in prison for beating him to death in the restroom of a public park, Petrelis made public 900 pages of documents, which are available at http://ow.ly/ UA3Tb, relating to the investigation and trial of the case. He filed a Freedom of Information Act request and received the documents over the summer. “It just became time to ask the Navy, ‘What’s in your files?’” said Petrelis, a Newark, N.J., native now living in San Francisco. He said he had to take some time away from the horrific case before revisiting it with the documents. “I did think about how far we have come in terms of gay folks serving in the military,” he said, referring to the 2011 repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” which had prevented gay men and lesbians from serving openly.

“It’s part of bearing witness for me and trying to reclaim him a bit,” said Petrelis, who made two weeklong trips to Sasebo and Tokyo in 1993 for Helvey’s preliminary hearing and trial. “Let’s not lose sight of Allen Schindler’s life.” Some highlights from the documents include excerpts from Schindler’s journal, which he started around the time of asking his superiors to discharge him because he was facing harassment for being gay. Schindler was not granted his request. In transcripts of witness interviews from the murder investigation, Navy officials had to grant some of Schindler’s colleagues immunity to speak. They worried they would face persecution under the military’s anti-sodomy laws. Another shipmate, Charles Vins, confessed to kicking and stomping Schindler in the restroom, but only served a fourmonth sentence in exchange for testimony against Helvey. Medical examinations also detailed the post-mortem rape test and Schindler’s injuries. Petrelis said Schindler’s face was so pulverized in the fatal beating that the man’s mother couldn’t

immediately identify him. Petrelis said he wants to urge other LGBT activists to file requests for information from the federal government. “Other gay people have had their lives covered up and people have denied the harm we have faced,” he said, noting people could also find information on LGBT people in unions or schools by filing requests with the departments of Labor or Education. “I want to put all the documents out there so our history isn’t lost,” Petrelis said. He isn’t the only one interested in transparency of information. The American Civil Liberties Union this month launched a Mobile Justice app in 18 cities and states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The app encourages users to use their camera phones to record police interactions with the public.

Councilmembers call for prosecutors’ termination By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com All five female members of Philadelphia City Council have joined forces with the local chapter of the National Organization for Women in urging the termination of three prosecutors involved in a pornographic email ring. The prosecutors are Frank G. Fina, E. Marc Costanzo and Patrick J. Blessington. They received and/or sent racist, misogynistic and homophobic emails while employed at the state Attorney General’s Office. They’re currently employed at the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, where they earn six-figure salaries. D.A. Seth Williams refuses to fire them, though he said they’ll receive sensitivity training. The prosecutors at issue didn’t respond to a PGN question as to whether they’ll resign. They also didn’t respond to a question as to whether they should have informed Williams of their prior involvement in the porn ring, before he hired them. The emails associated with the men contain degrading depictions of lesbian sex, along with content that ridicules gay men and demeans women and African-Americans. Philadelphia City Councilmember Cindy Bass said she feels strongly that the prosecutors should be terminated. “There’s no place for racism, sexism or homophobia in today’s culture, and certainly not within the D.A.’s Office or any place in Philadelphia,” Bass told PGN. “We’re a very progressive city, one of the most progressive in the nation. And we expect more from our elected officials and from those who serve under them. These three individuals serve at the pleasure of D.A. Seth Williams. So he does have the authority and power to terminate them as employees, because of their unacceptable conduct.” Bass said she reviewed the pornographic emails, and she’s outraged. “This is something you would expect from a frat boy or a young teenage boy — certainly not from seasoned prosecutors who stand in judgment of others and determine if cases move forward,” she said. “They really hold other people’s lives in their hands.” Bass said she’s discussed the situation with

Williams. “He appears to have dug in his heels,” she said. “We certainly hope he’ll rethink the situation, and the more he hears about it in the future, the more thought he will give to the issue. This situation is not going away. We’re going to keep it going.” Bass credited state Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane for unearthing the emails. “Say what you will about Kathleen Kane, but if it weren’t for her, those emails would have been swept under the rug.” Bass added: “No matter what people may think of Kathleen Kane, we all have to acknowledge she did do a service by releasing those emails, which call into question the judgment of these public servants, who are held to a higher standard because of the positions they hold.” Cameron Kline, a spokesperson for Williams, had no comment for this story. Former state Rep. Babette Josephs questioned whether Williams would have hired the men if he knew about their prior association with pornographic emails. “I’d like to know whether Seth Williams would have hired these miscreants, if he knew about their misbehavior,” Josephs told PGN. “If he says no, then he needs to fire them. If he says yes, then we know something about Seth Williams’ character or lack thereof.” Nina Ahmad, president of the local chapter of NOW, said the group is circulating an online petition demanding the prosecutors’ termination. She also noted that the email scandal exposed by Kane encompasses some members of the judiciary. “Public trust is further eroded by the fact there is a widespread, private relationship between prosecutors in both criminal and civil matters and the judges they appear before in those cases — since these emails were traded with a wide swath of people, including judges,” Ahmad told PGN. She said a special prosecutor should review the email scandal. “It’s time for the [state] Supreme Court to appoint an independent special prosecutor to examine the extent of this practice,” Ahmad said. “The special prosecutor should have the power to interview the senders and receivers of these emails — and the judges and prosecutors who received them — to determine what private relationships exist.” n

Government: Gender dysphoria has physical cause By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com The U.S. Department of Justice says gender dysphoria appears to have a physical cause, thus it’s not necessarily excluded as a protected disability by the Americans With Disabilities Act. The DOJ took this position in a federal case pursued by Kate Blatt, a Pottsville trans woman who says Cabela’s Inc. discriminated against her due to her gender dysphoria. Blatt worked at Cabela’s as a seasonal stocker, but was fired after complaining that she was denied access to a female restroom and a female name tag. Blatt claims Cabela’s discriminated against her due to her gender dysphoria.

Moreover, Blatt challenges the ADA’s exclusion of gender-identity disorder as a protected disability. She maintains the exclusion violates her constitutional right to equal protection under the law. The ADA protects persons with disabilities from discrimination in private employment, public accommodations and governmental services. But it excludes coverage for GIDs that have a mental cause. The ADA doesn’t specify the types of GIDs with a non-mental cause, but legal observers generally agree that hermaphroditism would be included in that category. In a seven-page filing Nov. 16, the DOJ said gender dysphoria also would be covered by the ADA, since it appears to have a physical cause, according to recent medical literature. PAGE 19

Since receiving his diagnosis, Kaufman has participated in speaking engagements and peer-to-peer phone calls facilitated through the nonprofit Alzheimer’s Association. But he and Bongart thought it was important to address the issue from the perspective of a gay couple. “There really was no group that dealt with the fact that it’s different for a gay couple or a gay person,” Bongart said. “We don’t have kids or big support systems usually.” Bongart said both of his parents and Kaufman’s father have died. “The gay community is really missing out,” he said. “We’re aging just like everybody else. We need to try to connect with

Tim Kaufman returned from a business trip to Denver in early 2010. He tried to tell his boss at an Internet hosting company in Delaware about the trip. But he couldn’t. “Suddenly, I couldn’t get my words out,” said Kaufman, 58. “I was starting to mumble. I couldn’t remember the words.” He called his doctor in Philadelphia, who told him to come to the office right away. Kaufman had experienced a stroke and had several smaller ones over the next two years. Sometimes he would lose vision in one eye and started having trouble making decisions and plans. He used to dismiss the issues as stress-related. It wasn’t until spring 2012 that Kaufman received a full diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia, called FTD. “I had to go to so many doctors’ visits,” he said. “It was hard to get a diagnosis. Because of my age, nobody wanted to admit it could be dementia.” Throughout, Kaufman’s partner of nearly 20 years, Ron Bongart, advocated for him. Bongart pushed doctors to consider every option and started going to therapy with Kaufman. He said it helped both of them to discuss if he could become Kaufman’s caretaker. “You really have to search your soul if

other people that may be experiencing some of this and aren’t finding any support.” Kaufman and Bongart met at a bar around Christmastime 19 years ago. Both said they were immediately drawn to the other. But each man had just come out of a long relationship. They took things slowly, describing the process as a true courtship. Bongart said they became best friends first and had a relationship second. They bonded over a love of remodeling homes. First, the pair renovated Kaufman’s place in South Philadelphia. Later, they moved to a condo in Marlton, N.J., and spent three or four years fixing it up before selling it for a house in Cherry Hill. Looking for a more supportive living environment in the wake of Kaufman’s diagnosis, the couple moved to Southampton. Neither works outside the home. Kaufman receives disability benefits while Bongart has taken on the full-time occupation of caring for Kaufman. The men also consulted an attorney to put anything they owned into Bongart’s name. Bongart said he is “basically in the driver’s seat”; Kaufman said he trusts Bongart implicitly. Bongart added he wants to balance caring for Kaufman without making him feel incapable or unintelligent. Kaufman emphasized that the system of care he has developed with Bongart works

for them, but the experience is different for everyone. Even people with the same FTD diagnosis as him experience the symptoms differently, Kaufman said. Kaufman and Bongart wake up early each morning. Bongart decides on breakfast and what project around the house they will start. Bongart monitors Kaufman and intercedes when necessary. “Something that’ll take Ron 15 minutes to do will take me two hours,” Kaufman said. “I could be spinning my wheels for days. I don’t have a semblance of time.” “The trouble with this diagnosis is it’s not just me,” he added. “It impacts everyone around me: my partner, my friends.” Bongart said Kaufman sometimes responds to situations in an extreme way; he might use Clorox to clean the floor after spilling a little of his drink. Kaufman said Bongart steps in to help him about 20-25 times a day, and noted he nicknamed his partner “Superman.” At dinnertime, Bongart decides on the meal and watches while Kaufman cooks. They have a couple close friends in their community, with whom they spend time occasionally. But, most of the time, their world has narrowed to include just the two of them. “We may not have a relationship like we did before,” Bongart said. “But the journey is ongoing.” n

Editorial

Fear and love It has been said only two true emotions exist: fear and love — an adage that has been illustrated many times in the last few days. On Nov. 13, Paris was rocked by a series of terrorist attacks that killed 129 people, injuring hundreds more. The ISIS-coordinated attacks succeeded in striking fear in the hearts of Parisians and people across the world — a near-stampede through the city was set off after firecrackers were mistaken for another attack, and several large-scale events in France and beyond were cancelled out of concern of further incidents. But, like America saw after 9/11 and other tragedies, human goodness can alleviate — although surely not eviscerate — fear. Thousands gathered together to silently mourn the victims outside the Cathedral of Notre Dame, while untold numbers of Parisians rushed to donate blood. Buildings across the world, including here in Philadelphia, set up light displays in honor of France’s national colors. Just down the street from the PGN offices, a resident raised a French flag outside his house. People worldwide made efforts, no matter how seemingly small, to show support for the victims, their loved ones and France as a whole — and to send a message that love is stronger than fear. But a new conversation emerged this week that is threatening that message. As Syrian refugees fleeing the ongoing violence in that country seek resettlement, leaders of some American states are looking to close their doors, arguing that such refugees could be seeking to do harm to Americans. That notion, jumbled by partisan politics, is at its base rooted in fear — and has evoked a sharp divide among Americans. Those who say our borders should be closed to Syrian refugees posture that they are seeking to keep their communities safe, seemingly acting out of love. Though, when fact-based research is brought into the discussion, that position appears to be motivated primarily by fear — fear of the unknown, fear of change, fear of compassion. These are dichotomies the LGBT community has seen time and time again. When marriage equality was won nationwide, opponents rallied against what could happen, against change, against welcoming same-sex couples into the institution of marriage. Many claimed that their positions were based on the good of children, or of families. But when real, scientific thought enters the conversation, opposition to LGBT equality is exposed as solely a response to fear of progress. Many times throughout the LGBT-rights movement, love has been shown to win. Let’s use those lessons and again push for love to conquer fear. n

Should domestic-partnership benefits be repealed, now that marriage equality is the law of the land? "No. Relationships are very complicated. We shouldn't be too rigid on allocating benefits. It would be fine with me Catherine Bouvier if a family software specialist member like Old City a sibling could be designated as a beneficiary of health benefits — just as long as you establish a tie with that person."

access benefits."

The tip Last year, Time magazine said we had reached the “transgender tipping point.” Since then, Olympic hero Caitlyn Jenner has joined other high-profile transgender celebrities such as Janet Mock, Laverne Cox, Laura Jane Grace and others. The visibility of transgender people in the mainstream media has never been higher. In spite of all the visibility, however, one topic dominates transgender issues more than any of these celebrities: bathrooms. I’ve talked about bathrooms a lot, so much so that I’m really not sure I have much new to say. In Houston, Texas, the public referendum on the city’s equal-rights ordinance, HERO, failed. The bill covered a total of 15 protected classes against bias in several categories. It failed by a vote of 61-39 percent. Once again, the adage that you should never allow a vote on minority rights rings true. Such a struggle almost always fails.

Everyone is now busy trying to figure out why it lost, and laying blame all over the place, even unfairly at the feet of the black community, or celebrities such as Beyoncé. I don’t think you can so easily claim that this or that group did not do enough. While I think a lot of LGBT groups could have done more, this referendum failed because the “other side” dominated discussion. They did so by using the “bathroom meme,” claiming that this measure would somehow allow predators to be allowed to go into changing rooms and restrooms and victimize your wife or children. Televisions and radios played commercials making the above claim, and T-shirts on opponents to HERO declared, “No Men in Women’s Bathrooms. Vote NO on Houston’s Prop #1.” Few seemed to know what the bill actually covered, believing it was only about men in women’s rooms. This is how well the opposition controlled the dialogue.

As I’ve already said, I don’t want to talk about bathrooms anymore. I feel like I’ve made it as clear as I can that rights for transgender people do not lead to predators in women’s rooms. The facts back it up: There have been no cases of assault in any city where these rights have been given. These bills do not repeal any sexual-assault laws. It’s ludicrous. You cannot, however, appeal to facts when it comes to arguments claiming people dear to you will be victimized, and you will have no recourse. As ridiculous as the argument is, for many it seems to trip a primal trigger. They go against logic, seeking only to defend what they find precious. What the transgender community needs right now is an emotional argument that helps those so triggered to stand down, to feel their loved ones are safe and protected — and are safer with transgender protections in place.

With the loss of HERO, we will see more of these fights against transgender rights crop up, especially in a presidential election year, when conservatives want to get out the vote. This too is akin to what went down with Proposition 8 and other anti-marriage bills. This is exactly why conservative groups seem to be heavily invested in culture wars: It gets people out to vote for their candidates as they pull the lever against us. Speaking of the presidential race … Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson also chimed in on HERO, for what it’s worth. “It is not fair for [transgender people] to make everybody else uncomfortable,” Carson said. “It’s one of the things that I don’t particularly like about the movement.” This man is one of the top GOP picks at current, which should scare you. I can’t help but ask who else has “made everybody else uncomPAGE 19

National Praise For MARK SEGAL’s Best Selling Memoir

AND THEN I DANCED TRAVELING THE ROAD TO LGBT EQUALITY

“Mark Segal’s work for LGBT equality is historic and significant. The fact that he is still connecting our community is a testament to the passion which he shares in this memoir.” --Billie Jean King “Mark Segal is a beloved and respected activist for the LGBT movement, and he’s a pivotal voice to tell our story,” --The Advocate “Mark Segal made national news on December 11, 1973 when he interrupted a live broadcast of the CBS Evening News by yelling ‘Gays protest CBS prejudice!’ at none other than Walter Cronkite. He was wrestled to the floor on live national television, an incident often credited as the beginning of the end of LGBTQ invisibility. In his new memoir, Segal looks back on that defining moment in history, as well as the many battles that followed.” --Queerty “If it happened in the gay rights movement, Mark Segal was probably there.” --ABC-TV “Mark Segal is one of the major actors in the struggle for LGBT equality in the U.S....A life as eventful as Segal’s demands that a book be written about it.” --South Florida Gay News “Segal’s And Then I Danced harkens back to the glory days of the gay liberation era. Current activists could learn a lot of useful lessons from reading this memoir, and any American who reads it will learn about some interesting chapters in our nation’s ongoing struggle to form a more perfect union.” --David Carter, Author of Stonewall, The Riots that Sparked the Gay Revolution “Because of activists like Mark Segal, whose life work is dramatically detailed in this poignant and important memoir, today there are openly LGBT people working in the White House and throughout corporate America.” --Philly Chit Chat “Read Mark Segal’s memoir and you’ll get the inside story of how and why he interrupted a live broadcast of The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. What happened afterward will surprise you. It’s one of many surprises in this must-read first-person account of LGBT history as it unfolded after Stonewall. Segal was a witness to that history, and he made some of it happen, changing our country and our lives for the better.” —Louis Wiley, Jr., executive editor, Frontline (PBS)

“I have read about Segal in other places but nothing is like reading about it as he tells it....Because of Segal and others we have openly LGBT people working in the White House and throughout corporate America. He has helped make it possible for an entire community of gay world citizens to finding the voice that they need to become visible.” --Reviews by Amos Lassen “Segal’s writing style is engrossing and never ponderous....And Then I Danced is highly recommended for all LGBT history collections and especially for readers with interest in Pennsylvania/Philadelphia politics.” --American Library Association’s GLBT Round Table “And Then I Danced is a fascinating page-turner that prompted my tears, laughter, envy, and astonishment--but most of all left me feeling very proud of what our community has accomplished and grateful to Mark for sharing his intimate memoir. While there are many who have witnessed the extraordinary history of the LGBT community, few have played as major a role in creating it as has Mark. It is no exaggeration to say that there is no person alive today who has been a more central participant in as much of the contemporary LGBT rights struggle than Mark Segal.” --Sean Strub, author of Body Counts: A Memoir of Politics, Sex, AIDS, and Survival “Mark Segal has for decades been a pathfinder for LGBT journalists of all stripes. We’re indebted to him for his years of radical activism, helping to foster a movement for change that has had a dramatic and positive impact for millions.” --Michelangelo Signorile, author of It’s Not Over: Getting Beyond Tolerance, Defeating Homophobia, and Winning True Equality “Real change never comes without real guts and real vision and real leaders. Mark Segal is the real deal.” --Robert Moore, cofounder of Dallas Voice “Mark Segal’s ideas run from the alpha to the omega. Sometimes I think there’s got to be more than one Mark Segal: he has done way too much for one lifetime. I highly recommend this book. If you can’t get to meet Mark in person, this is the next best thing!” --Michael Luongo, author of Gay Travels in the Muslim World “Before there was Ellen, Will, Grace, Rosie, Andy, and Anderson, Mark Segal was the squeaky gay wheel of American television, pulling stunts that forced the medium to open its closet door. If Walter Cronkite were still alive, he’d say: Not HIM again! And that’s the way it is. And was. Read all about it.” --Bruce Vilanch, Six-Time Emmy Award Winner “Mark Segal has taken the LGBT aging world by storm, and in the process has made a remarkable difference for our community’s courageous pioneers. We’ve all learned so much from him.” --Michael Adams, executive director, Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders “With gentle humor and the slightest touch of sardonicism….Segal lets readers into his personal life: his loves, losses, and (spoiler alert!) a very happy ending. “Drama seems to follow me,” he writes, and readers will be glad for it.” --Washington Blade

Same-sex marriage is now legal in the Republic of Ireland, after legislation passed by referendum in May came into effect Nov. 16. The Irish state became the first in the world to legalize same-sex marriage by popular vote when the Marriage Act 2015 was passed. Same-sex couples who have been wed abroad will now be legally recognized by the state, while gay and lesbian couples who want to marry will be able to do so. People already in civil partnerships can now choose to wed as well. The law will not affect the legal status of existing civil partners who do not want to get married. The new act only applies to civil marriage, so any religious organization or Irish church that objects to the new law will not be forced to perform same-sexmarriage ceremonies. More than 62 percent voted in favor of marriage equality in the May referendum.

Ukraine’s Parliament bans LGBT discrimination Ukraine’s Parliament has voted for changes to the country’s Labor Code that include protection against discrimination for members of the LGBT community. The amendments prohibit any discrimination in the workplace on the basis of “race, color, political, religious and other beliefs, sex, gender identity, sexual orien-

tation, ethnic, social and foreign origin, age, health, disability, suspected presence of HIV/AIDS, family and property status, family responsibilities, place of residence or participation in a strike.” According to the legislation, “The idea is that, if a person is working, we cannot discriminate” against them. The protections for members of the LGBT community were adopted on a sixth vote, only after Parliament speaker Volodymyr Hroysman announced that lawmakers “stand for family values and will never support gay marriage.” The adoption of the antidiscrimination rules is required by the European Union in a package of so-called “visa-free reforms.”

Ukraine’s Parliament bans LGBT discrimination Lithuanian lawmakers have postponed a vote on a new anti-LGBT law that emulates Russia’s ban on “gay propaganda.” The state’s Parliament had been due to vote on proposals that would introduce fines for any public display that “defies traditional family values.” Reaching further than simply banning public displays of affection among gay people, the law could also ban any LGBTrights march or protest and outlaw any form of visibility for LGBT people. Lawmakers were set for a showdown on the amendment to the Code of Administrative Violations, but the item was bumped from the Parliament’s agenda, though it could return at a later date. Tomas V. Raskevicius, policy coordinator of the Lithuanian Gay League, said: “Despite the fact that the bill was removed from the Parliament’s agenda, it can be submitted for the final voting at any time. The next Baltic Pride in the country has adopted the slogan “We are people, not propaganda,” and will take place in June. — compiled by Larry Nichols

Philadelphia LGBTQ Counseling expands services By Paige Cooperstein paige@epgn.com A nutritionist and a massage therapist reached out to Kristina Furia, founder of Philadelphia LGBTQ Counseling, when she initially put out word that she wanted to expand her practice. “At first, I turned both of those people down,” Furia said. “I thought, Sorry, this is a psychotherapy practice.” “But I got to thinking, What if it’s not?” she said. “What if it ends up being more than that?” This month, Furia and six other practitioners started seeing patients for everything from therapy to reiki, acupuncture and holistic-health coaching. The team works at 1518 Walnut St. The new venture is called Emerge Wellness. Philadelphia LGBTQ Counseling, started in 2013, exists under that umbrella as the therapy arm of the practice. Furia, who writes the “Thinking Queerly” column for PGN, sat down with us in her new office to discuss everything from therapy techniques to creating safe spaces. PGN: What types of services does Emerge Wellness offer? KF: There are several different types of massage therapy. One type is called myofascial release, which is a specific technique used to work with injuries. Another massage therapy that will be offered is the more traditional therapeutic massage. If you’re stressed, your body holds that tension. The third one we’re offering is called trauma-touch therapy. We also have somebody who will be providing reiki, which is energy healing. It’s also a type of bodywork, but it’s a bit more nontraditional. We have an acupuncturist and an herbalist. Then we have what’s called a holistic-health coach. It’s a more holistic version of a nutritionist. She’ll help people figure out what sorts of foods are best for them, while also factoring in other lifestyle things like sleep or exercise to help them be as physically healthy as possible. PGN: What inspired you to get into therapy? KF: I was 15 or 16 and struggling after having come out. My friend said, “Well, I go to this therapist. Why don’t you go to her, too?” But I never went because I was so frightened at the idea of having to come out. I didn’t want to come out to my therapist when I’m struggling to come out to friends and family. My original notion was you shouldn’t have to be coming out all the time. It’s stressful enough having to come out to the people in our lives. PGN: How do you create a safe space? KF: With the therapy practice, the whole point is it’s kind of a given: We’re all queer here. We get it. I choose providers

who are either queer or extremely queerfriendly and knowledgeable of the queer community. Nobody needs to say, “My wife and I,” as a woman, or “My husband and I,” as a man, and get a double-take from the person they’re speaking to, or have the person ask too many questions or avoid it. None of that will happen here. It’s a totally safe space, where being LGBT is, in a certain way, secondary to everything else because it’s not a concern. It’s understood; therefore, we can be concerned solely with your health and wellness. PGN: Does Emerge Wellness exclusively serve LGBT people? KF: The services are not LGBT-specific so much as they’re occurring in a space that’s LGBT-focused. But, for instance, one of the massage therapists I’ve chosen specializes in trauma and how trauma affects the body. I ended up finding it appropriate because, in a certain sense, I think LGBT people may be more susceptible to trauma, depending on if you were bullied when you were a child or if you had a difficult coming-out. That actually feels like an LGBT-specific service in a certain way. PGN: What is the pricing structure like? KF: I have a certain fee that I’m comfortable accepting. However, I also think it’s important to be able to meet people where they’re at. I have ultimately a range that I’m willing to work within, rather than just saying, “This is my fee and that’s it.” Most of the other providers, if not all, will be following that same premise. PGN: What do you hope to accomplish in the future with Emerge Wellness? KF: I have plans to expand a bit in the next six months. I’m planning for someone who can run therapy groups specifically for LGBT kids. The Attic is an amazing resource, but I’ve been finding that some of the kids that come to see me don’t always feel comfortable there. It may be because they’re from the suburbs and they feel like they don’t fit in with this group of city kids, or a couple of the younger teens felt like the kids there were too old for them. The other service I’m hoping to get going in the very-near future is someone who specializes in speech pathology or vocal coaching to help trans women who want guidance to make their voices as feminine as they would like them. That’s a service I feel really passionate about getting in here. I’ve worked with so many trans women who are so self-conscious about their voices. I think it does speak to an overall wellness for these women. It should be more easily accessible. n For more information, call 267-225-3905 or search “Emerge Wellness Philly” on Facebook.

of people attended, from college- and high school-aged kids to parents with children. State Rep. Brian Sims, Pennsylvania’s first elected openly gay state lawmaker, came to the event, as did Nellie Fitzpatrick, director of the Philadelphia Office of LGBT Affairs. Gutiérrez, who lives in Los Angeles and works with Familia: Trans* Queer Liberation Movement, said one woman from the Not One More campaign to end deportation stood with her when she interrupted the president. She had an idea about why the other 300 guests shushed and booed her. The Human Rights Campaign had invested millions in legal fees over at least a decade to pursue marriage equality, Gutiérrez said, noting the timing of her interruption came just days before the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. “Unfortunately, marriage is not a priority for trans women of color,” she said. “Survival is our priority.” Before Gutiérrez began speaking, she asked audience members to join her for a moment of silence in honor of the more than 20 trans women of color who have been murdered this year and all the undocumented people being held in detention centers. At first, Alvarez said she didn’t understand why someone was heckling the president at a Pride event. She said she had to watch Gutiérrez’s interruption several

DYSPHORIA from page 7

“Numerous medical studies conducted in the past six years point in the direction of hormonal and genetic causes for the in-utero development of gender dysphoria,” the DOJ’s filing states. The DOJ urged U.S. District Judge Joseph F. Leeson Jr. to avoid ruling on Blatt’s challenge of the GID exclusion, since it doesn’t necessarily apply in her case. “While no clear scientific consensus appears to exist regarding the specific origins of gender dysphoria (for example, whether it can be traced to neurological, genetic or hormonal sources), the current research increasingly indicates that gender dysphoria has physiological or biological roots,” the DOJ TRANSMISSIONS from page 11

fortable” in the bathroom. As I’ve said before, every rights battle seems to have its bathroom moment. Heck, the same arguments were used with race-segregated bathrooms, as well as the Equal Rights Amendment battle of the 1970s. I got talking about bathrooms again, didn’t I? Enough about them. Here’s what I really want to talk about: In this country, since Nov. 20, 2014, 22 transgender people have been killed due to anti-transgender violence. They — and the likely hundreds more killed worldwide — will be honored Nov. 20, on International Transgender Day of Remembrance. This will be the 17th-annual TDOR observance. The number of deaths are higher than times before the gravity of the incident sunk in. “No one was speaking out for my trans sister although every person in that room claimed to be an activist or an advocate of some sort,” she said. Alvarez said she realized she didn’t always have to work within certain restraints in order to advocate for the community. Sanchez shared her own experience working with local police for training sessions on how to treat transgender people and eliminate prison rape. She heard from a sergeant that when gay or transgender inmates claim they have been raped, prison officials assume they are merely causing a scene for attention. Frustrated with this assumption, Sanchez turned to the police captain, who called for increased training for all new cadets. Alvarez, who works with the Philadelphia Police Department, said new officers have two-hour training sessions on LGBT sensitivity before they can start patrolling the streets. She works closely with Deputy Commissioner Kevin Bethel, the outgoing police LGBT liaison. “Twenty years ago, I was beat up and arrested for no reason by the cops,” Alvarez said. “Now I have a direct line to the deputy commissioner of police. When the police act up, I don’t have to go in and file a complaint. I pick up my phone and I dial the deputy commissioner and say, ‘This is what I need.’” “It’s helping,” she said. n

filing notes. The DOJ said its position is reasonable and should be accepted by Leeson. “While the United States believes that this is the best interpretation of the statute, it is, at the very least, a reasonable one.” Neelima Vanguri, an attorney for Blatt, expressed mixed feelings about the DOJ’s position. “While we do believe gender dysphoria has a physical component, the DOJ did not address the constitutional question of GID’s exclusion,” Vanguri told PGN. “We believe GID’s exclusion — at its core — is unconstitutional. And we plan to develop this argument further for the court.” In a prior filing, the DOJ argued that

Leeson should avoid ruling on the GIDexclusion issue because Blatt also has a sex-discrimination claim against Cabela’s that can provide compensation for her. But Leeson rejected that argument, and told the DOJ to take another position. Cabela’s claims Blatt was properly dismissed after she threatened a coworker’s child — an allegation Blatt vehemently denies. “Cabela’s maintains it did not discriminate or retaliate against Ms. Blatt in any way, and acted at all times pursuant to legitimate nondiscriminatory business reasons,” Cabela’s said in a court filing. The DOJ hasn’t taken a position on the merits of Blatt’s claims against Cabela’s. n

years past, though I can’t tell you for sure if that’s because we’re paying more attention, or because there are more transpeople being killed. My gut tells me that it’s a bit of both. Many have claimed that the visibility of Caitlyn Jenner and others who make up “the transgender tipping point” are indirectly responsible for the increase in murders. This, to me, feels a bit like claiming Beyoncé not speaking out in support led to the loss of HERO. But I can’t help but look at the people fighting bills in Houston and elsewhere. How can you expect to tell people about how giving rights to transgender people will allow sexual deviants to harm your family and not expect people to react? As I said above, that was the whole point of the bath-

room meme. Some may defend their loved ones by voting, but others do so by grabbing a weapon. Like Ben Carson, some people are uncomfortable — and with their religious and political leaders attacking transgender people, they might feel equally at ease doing so. Transgender people are being cast as the enemy of decency, as something to fear, something to feel uncomfortable about. It’s not that much a step from this sort of vilification to people seeking to kill us. HERO, bathrooms and these attacks on transgender people are just the tip, and the stakes are higher than ever. n Gwen Smith is so very much not a predator. You’ll find her on Twitter at @gwenners.

NEWS BRIEFING from page 14

Shoshana Bricklin, legislative policy director for Bass, expressed support for the measure. “As an attorney, I believe it makes no sense whatsoever — especially in light of marriage equality — to discriminate against LGBT couples in their quest to become families,” Bricklin told PGN. “It’s such an important issue, [and] we hope the rest of the country will follow Philadelphia’s example.”

PGN seeks Morris 911 recordings PGN has filed an open-records request for all 911 recordings pertaining to the Nizah Morris incident in the possession of the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. The request, filed Nov. 12, remained pending as of presstime. Morris was a trans woman found with a fatal head injury in 2002, shortly after a courtesy ride from Philadelphia police. A key 911 transmission could clarify whether confusion between officers about Morris’ gender delayed a criminal investigation into her head injury. Local investigators haven’t divulged the contents of the transmission, or of other 911 transmissions in the Morris case that appear to be missing. The D.A.’s Office has stated that its only 911 recordings were provided by PGN. But the agency hasn’t certified that assertion under penalty of perjury. Morris’ homicide remains unsolved.

of these attacks from the days after 9/11. At that time, Giampolo was a student at La Salle University and went to 30th Street Station with her French professor, who was searching for her son, who was scheduled to be arriving on a train from Washington, D.C. “She handed me a photo and I walked around for hours asking other frantic people if they had seen this person. In New York City, for days after 9/11, we saw footage of people sobbing in front of the wall of photos looking for their loved ones … days and hours of not sleeping, crying and wondering what happened to the person you parted ways with at breakfast just an hour earlier,” she said. “For us, within minutes, hundreds of people from all over the world knew we were safe because of Facebook’s safety feature, which I hope to never use again.” On Saturday, the couple began rearranging their plans. They had scheduled the trip so Giampolo could meet with several clients and around the Airbnb Open, an international summit for the home-sharing community. But the Nov. 14 Airbnb activities were cancelled due to the attacks. Furia noted that the event hosts even called all 6,000 scheduled attendees to ensure all were safe. “Everyone, Parisian and tourists alike, were being discouraged from going out, as it wasn’t clear yet whether there were going to be more attacks,” she said. “On both Saturday and Sunday all tourist attractions

such as museums, etc., were closed.” On Sunday night, Giampolo and Furia attended a vigil and memorial service for

the victims of the attacks at the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The church quickly hit its maximum capacity of 1,000 guests, so they stood outside, along with thousands of others, in silence during the vigil. “I think both of us wanted to be a part of the city’s grieving,” Furia said. After a citywide moment of silence Monday, tourist attractions reopened. Many private businesses, Furia noted, remained closed through most of the week as part of an observed mourning time. The couple flew home Tuesday evening. While the tragedy largely prevented them from the standard Parisian sightseeing experience, Giampolo noted the experience gave them a truer sense of the city than they would have received otherwise. “While we left without Kristina having truly experienced all that Paris has to offer, she actually experienced more authentic aspects of Paris than most people who visit because we’ve spent days talking to our hotel staff, bartenders, Uber drivers and even some of the 1,500 extra police on the streets,” Giampolo said. For Giampolo, Paris has been a second home, one she even considered moving to before opening Giampolo Law Group. Sharing in the city’s mourning, and the sense of community that surrounded Paris during their visit, was inspiring, she said. “I’ll never know how my life would have been different had I moved here, but what I do know is that Paris is that much more special to me now and I’ll return to Paris, time and time again.” n

cannot comment further on this pending litigation.” Melrath, now 22, started as a bagger with Giant in 2011 while he was a student at Abington High School. He always presented as male and would be open about his identity with coworkers, but said he felt pressured to act feminine by management. Melrath didn’t recall if Giant asked him to identify his gender on the job application. “When I started telling people more about myself is when they started telling me I couldn’t do things,” Melrath said. Melrath said his manager harassed him for cutting his hair short and refusing to wear the female uniform, and that she didn’t allow him to speak to another manager to resolve the issues. Krepps noted that “Giant associates are encouraged to report any workplace concerns, including any complaints of discrimination or harassment, and are informed that they may do so by speaking with

their store manager, another member of management or the Giant human-resources department. Associates may also report concerns anonymously through a toll-

named Samantha was allowed to shorten her name to Sam, according to the complaint he filed. Melrath also claimed he was disciplined for talking to a coworker about his girlfriend. Melrath was told to “act normal” in the written discipline for having an “inappropriate conversation,” the suit states. Melrath said he quit in late 2013 as a result of his treatment. The suit seeks unspecified damages. Melrath said his high-school guidance counselor convinced him to seek legal recourse. “She said, ‘What if others aren’t as strong as you?’” Melrath said. “I thought about what would happen if someone in my position didn’t have any support.” He added he’s always felt supported by his family and fiancé, whom he met two years ago. Melrath now works at Planet Fitness, “a judgment-free zone,” Melrath said, quoting the company’s slogan, and Spencer’s, where “they like everybody.” n

FORTE from page 1

“They were served until their blood-alcohol levels were well in excess of the amounts permitted under the law.” Morris, 29, is incarcerated at a state prison in Smithfield. Maldonado, 33, is incarcerated at a state prison in Camp Hill. According to court records, Maldonado faces a jury trial in June 2016 for unrelated rape charges. In addition to Maldonado and Morris, Forte is suing Michael Weiss, his brother William Weiss and Michael R. Skubish, Jr. According to Forte’s suit, the Weiss brothers and Skubish operated Voyeur in an unsafe manner, contributing to Forte’s injuries. Forte claims the Weiss brothers and Skubish failed to properly screen Voyeur’s employees, failed to enact guidelines for reasonable use of force against patrons, failed to ensure proper background checks for its

security personnel, allowed overcrowding conditions and permitted incompetent employees and security personnel to carry firearms during the course and scope of their employment. Michael Weiss declined to comment for this story other than to say: “It’s a pending lawsuit, and we don’t comment on pending litigation.” Forte is suing the defendants for negligence, battery, civil conspiracy and dram-shop liability. “Voyeur Nightclub had a long history of violent incidents committed against patrons, business invitees and/or customers occurring at or near the business premises,” the suit alleges. Forte is requesting a jury trial in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court. At presstime, the case hadn’t been assigned to a judge. Forte’s attorneys had no comment for this story. Prior to the incident, Forte had been employed by PGN as an advertising representative. n

Three Things You Need To Know About Porngate PART 1 First, It’s Not About Porn

y now if you have not heard of Kathleen Kane and the scandal embroiling our state’s capitol, commonly referred to as “Porngate,” then there must be something in your pumpkin spice latte. A refresher: Our Attorney General (at least for the time being) Kathleen Kane, when running for office, promised to investigate state prosecutors and judges handling the Sandusky prosecution. Upon taking office she did just that. As part of the investigation, thousands of, let us generally define them for the moment as “offensive,” emails between judges and lawyers were uncovered. To date, these emails have led to the dismissal of Corbett administration appointees, private sector firings, and the retirement of a Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice. In recent weeks, the scandal has taken an even uglier turn. Troubling emails from a current justice on the Supreme Court have been uncovered; emails which were reviewed and cleared

by the Judicial Conduct Board nearly a year earlier. It has also revealed communications between a grand jury judge, a current assistant district attorney, two prominent defense attorneys, and two reporters from the Philadelphia Inquirer. What makes these emails so troubling is that they are first-hand evidence of a conspiracy to leak sealed orders of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Troubling emails from a current justice on the Supreme Court have been uncovered. As this scandal appears to only be getting larger in scope and depravity, we thought it a good time to call upon our peers in the editorial community with some edifying thoughts.

Should ‘men behaving badly’ be the status quo in our state judiciary’s correspondence?

First, stop calling this “Porngate.” Merriam-Webster defines pornography as “printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings.” Unlike most of our peers, we have actually seen these emails and they are often troubling or tasteless, but not pornographic. While there has been some confusion as to which emails Supreme Court Justice Eakin sent and received on his private email account (johnsmith@yahoo.com), the second Supreme Court Special Counsel review of these emails (that’s right it took two special counsels to figure this out), conducted by former superior court judge Joseph Del Sole and released last month, resolves the issue: a total of 955 emails were submitted by the Attorney Gen-

eral of which 157 were sent by Justice Eakin. So, what did these emails show? Let’s look at the emails Justice Eakin sent. One, dated July 6, 2010, that the Del Sole Report chose to describe was particularly insensitive toward women. That email contained a joke about spousal abuse in which a battered wife reported that her abusive husband “beats me to a pulp” every time he came home drunk. The doctor’s advice was to swish tea in her mouth when the husband arrived home. After, the husband stopped beating his wife. The punch line was “You see how much keeping your mouth shut helps.” Now to those emails received by Justice Eakin: “Emails with purported jokes making light of rape and sexual assault. For example, a ‘motivational poster’ with a photograph of an Continued on page 2 N O V. 1 5 - 2 2 , 2 0 1 5

Three Things You Need to Know Continued from page 1 unconscious college-age woman with the caption: ‘Alcohol: Thank you, Mr. Daniels, Thank you, Mr. Guinness, Muchas Gracias, Senor Tequila’…[a]nother email had a joke which referred to asking a woman to smell a chloroform laced rag as a ‘pick-up line’”. As we have been told by, none other than, former Supreme Court Justice Ron Castille, anyone can receive an email and not open it. This mirrors the language of the first special counsel Castille hired to look at these emails, who found them to be “not remarkable.” Of course, over a six-year period of email traffic the Del Sole report concludes, “On no occasion did we find an email in which Justice Eakin objected to receiving such emails.” Haven’t heard much from Mr. Castille on that. We’ll get back to you when we do.

Leave it to Justice Debra Todd, the sole woman on the high court, apparently the only justice to have taken the time to actually view the emails, to get it right: “The email exchanges contain offensive images, comments, and ‘jokes,’ some of which are sexually explicit and demeaning to women. Some trivialize physical and sexual assault. I am equally offended by the derogatory stereotyping and mocking of racial, ethnic, and religious groups, as well as gays and lesbians.” As Justice Todd figured out, these emails are offensive for many reasons, porn is the least of it. Coming next week, part 2, “Shameful Emails, Shameless Journalism.”

Green, Other Stars Ready for the Season Continued from page 12 Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree. Roman is coming into the year with much fanfare as well. Maybe more. The Cahillites are generally the highest ranked pre-season team among traditional four-year high schools across the country. In the USA TODAY poll, they will start the season at number three behind Oak Hill Academy (Va.) and Findlay Prep (Nev.). Both have fully recruited teams whose players are from all over the country. The Cahillites have the unique fortune to have three senior stars, all of which will be attending Penn State together, in Nazeer Bostick, Lamar Stevens and Tony Carr. Philadelphia area resident Pat Chambers, now the

head coach at Penn State, appears ready to do for Penn State basketball what Matt Rhule has just done for Temple football. Basketball fans in the Delaware Valley are noticing. “Neumann Goretti and Roman Catholic will obviously both be terrific this year,” said Al Rubin, Mid-Atlantic Region scouting director for Hoop Scoop. “Tony Carr and Quade Green are two big-time guards who will lead their teams. Neumann also has great frontcourt players, while the addition of Stevens at Roman makes them a national team. Everyone will be excited to see the two teams play each other two or three times this year.”

Seams Like Old Times Local tailor and designer appreciates return to Center City By Sheila Simmons

on Wilch, who has designed for professional athletes, comedian Eddie Murphy, and Minister Louis Farrakhan for his historic Million Man March, confesses he learned the hard way that location is everything. At the height of his success, Wilch moved his business from Center City to a spot closer to home in Germantown. Over the years, he watched his breadand-butter tailoring clientele slow to a trickle, and says he was forced to “humble myself and take that job.” That job was in Jenkintown and involved cutting and sewing patio furniture for $12 an hour. Wilch repeats his words for effect, “I was cutting and sewing patio furniture!” But now he’s back on Walnut Street, where he’s so busy that clothes are piled high in two different corners of his fourth-floor spot called The Wardrobe Clinic. “We fix and repair fashion on Walnut Street,” he says is his theme. The Wardrobe Clinic has quickly become the favorite advice of the mid- and high-end retailers along coveted Walnut Street, when their customers inquire where, in the area, they might get alterations and repairs done. “This came in yesterday,” Wilch says, pointing to one pile. “I had almost $300 worth of alterations in three hours. I had three people sitting in chairs. They just walked in and said, ‘I found you on Yelp. Can I come up? We got a [photo] shoot’”. He notes this busy year will also include his New York Menswear Fashion Week debut. He’s designing a line primarily of men’s coats, inspired by Marvin Gaye and the theme, “What’s Going On?” On the last Sunday of each month, Wilch uses his new space for a “Boys to Bosses Mentoring

Program,” for youth ages 12 to 19. About 15 youth are treated to free lunch, guest speakers, dress-forsuccess advice, and workshops on customer service, financial management, how to behave toward young women, and how to show respect for authority. Wilch is proud of the program, but admits that the youth likely attend because their parents heard about the program and insisted, “Take my son!” or because the young men are curious about Wilch’s other claim to fame, being “Eve’s Pop.” He is father (actually step-father) to the Phillyborn, Emmy-winning rapper Eve, who also starred in her own TV sitcom, and now lives overseas with her billionaire British entrepreneur race car driver husband. Eve was about 10 years old, when Ron met her mom Julia on a fashion runway. Alongside him, in his designer tuxedo, she modeled a wedding gown. Wilch says that his wife has promised to come help him on Saturdays to take in customers. “I’ve been here 50 days, and I’m back in business,” he delights. “I can walk out the door during break or stand on the corner, and people come up and say, ‘Hey, Ron, hey . . . !’”

sold

JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff on Tuesday, December 1, 2015 at

First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, at 10:00 AM. (EST) Conditions of Sheriff’s Sale for JUDICIAL/FORECLOSURE SALE Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price. Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff. The 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 a sum sufficient to pay all Sheriff’s costs including advertising, all taxes, water rents and municipal claims due to the City of Philadelphia. If there is no other bid price above the opening bid price, the property shall be sold by the auctioneer to the attorney on the writ at that price. The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadel-

phia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly. No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County. The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudulent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the Sheriff Sale. Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine. The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale. All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale. Prospective purchasers are directed to the Web site of the Philadelphia Bureau of Revision of Taxes, (BRT) brtweb.phila. gov for a fuller description of the properties listed.

(30) Days from the date of the sale of Real Estate. Distribution will be made in accordance with the Schedule unless exceptions are filed thereto within ten (10) days thereafter. N.B. - For the benefit of our non-professional readers who do not understand the meaning of the letters and figures following the defendant’s names, we make the following. EXPLANATION The name first appearing in each notice is that of the defendant in the writ whose property is being sold. All Writs are Writs of Executions. The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court - indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ. Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions. Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales conducted by him.

Green, Other Stars Ready for the Season

BROWN AND SHERMAN TOGETHER AGAIN Corey Sherman and Jule Brown have played basketball together at the elementary, middle school, and high school level at Lower Merion. Now, they are roommates at Dickinson College where they will be backcourt mates in one of the nation’s best Division III programs. One can understand how the two longstanding friends are ending up at the same college but roommates too? “My son told me that Corey understands him,” said Carla Brown, Jule’s mom. “He was thinking about letting the school or the coaches pair him up with someone but then asked to be with Corey. He said, ‘Mom,

FOX LOOKING FOR WINS Hannah Fox has been a mainstay at Penn Charter for the past three years. Now, the senior gets to lead a team that figures to compete for an Inter-Ac girls’ championship against Episcopal, Notre Dame, and Germantown Academy. “We are returning four of five starters from last year’s team so we think we’re in a good spot,” said Fox. “The past two years we made it to the semifinals of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic State Tournament, so we have good experience. Our goal and expectation is to work hard to improve on the past year and to make it to the final round this year, and hopefully win it.” The team is going with a new coach this year, Joe Maguire, formerly of Springside-Chestnut Hill and Archbishop Ryan. “We love our new coach,” she said. “We are all looking forward to learning new plays and and a new playing style. Players who have played for him at his old schools have told us that we are very lucky to have him. Personally, as the point guard here, I’d like to help lead the team to an Inter-Ac Championship. I want to end my career at Penn Charter with a win.”

SHE’S GOING TO LOUISVILLE Imhotep Charter’s Bionca Dunham is one of the top girls’ players around. But she hasn’t been playing basketball her whole life the way cousin Rysheed Jordan has. He’s a NBA prospect currently stashed by the 76ers with their Delaware minor league team, the 87ers. “No, I feel I have gotten better and serious about basketball in the past few years for sure though,” she said. Dunham, a Louisville recruit, has been part of two straight public league girls’ titles, but wants more this year. The team was tripped up in the state playoffs in each of the last two years. “I believe this year will be a little different with a new coach [Lemar “Marty” Washington replaced Sabrina Allen], even though he’s been my assistant for four years. It’s been wonderful playing for Imhotep these past four years. I couldn’t have been with a better team. I love these guys and to win two Public League championships has been like a dream come true.” Dunham is thrilled with her decision to go to Louisville, but it came at a cost. “Choosing my school was fun but also frustrating and stressful at times,” she said. “I had a lot of schools to choose from but I fell in love with Louisville. I love the campus, and the teammates were really nice.” Dunham has some unfinished business first. “This year’s team is going to be special, she said. “It being my last year, I think we have a team now that can make a run deep into the states. I can’t wait.”

SHOWING THEIR HANDS: SEAN THOMPSON (LEFT) AND SARAH J. GAFGEN IN QUINCE PRODUCTIONS’ FULL HOUSE

Quince antes up for a seventh year of Full House By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Quince Productions is putting all of its cabaret cards on the table for the latest edition of the Full House series, through Nov. 22. It’s the seventh year in what has become an annual tradition for the company, for which it gathers well-known and undiscovered cabaret singers for a wide variety of performances that stretches the boundaries of traditional cabaret. “There’s a great freedom to it,” said Sean Thompson, who is performing his show, “Burnt Turkey,” at this year’s Full House. “Rich Rubin, who runs the company, just lets you do your thing and he takes care of the business side of things. As artists, we’re

free to do whatever comes to mind and put on a good show.” Thompson, who performed in previous editions of the series, said this year his show will be more casual than before. “I’m doing something a little more simple,” he said. “It’s different music and different stories. The idea is just me and a piano telling stories about the songs that I love to sing every day when I’m at home. You’re sort of walking into my home and letting me entertain you. You’re getting a glimpse inside of me and what it is that I do.” Another Full House alum, Sarah J. Gafgen, is teaming up with Meredith Beck, who is new to the series, for a cabaret called “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” Gafgen said Quince gives performers

the opportunity to put together the kinds of cabarets audiences can’t find anywhere else. “We don’t really have anything quite like it, when you get a whole evening to yourself to just create something that tells the audience a message you want to get out,” she said. “Rich gives us a lot of freedom to play with themes. He’s doesn’t give us any restrictions on what our message has to be so it’s fun to create that message yourself and [decide] how you want to tell that story.” Gafgen said their show has a girl-power theme. “We wanted to see if we could create an entire show using music sung by females that wasn’t about being in love with a man, wanting a man to love us, not being loved

back by a man — pretty much anything not focused on being a female pining over a male because so often the material we have to choose from is shaped around a relationship with a male counterpart,” Gafgen said. “So we just wanted to see if we could create a show that was at the heart talking about women and all the things women can do, regardless of the presence or lack of presence of a male counterpart.” A male duo is getting in on the action too, with best friends Ben Deane and Andrew Dean Laino putting on their show, “Who the Eff Are These Guys?” “We’re both new to the Philadelphia theater scene and, largely, people don’t know who we are,” Deane said about the show’s title. “The theater community is very small and I think that the two PAGE 26

of us together have personalities that are very big. It just seems appropriate to make a big entrance.” “I like the idea that we’re poking fun at the fact that we’re doing such a nontraditional cabaret,” Laino added. “Like, who do these guys think they are that they can do this?” As for what they are doing in their show, well, anything can happen. “Some of our friends saw the poster for the show and asked, ‘What exactly is this?’” Deane said. “And we said, ‘Well, you’ll have to come see and find out.’ It’s something new. We’re not doing this traditional cabaret. We want to play games with the audience as well as sing. We don’t want to have them just sitting in their seats. And they were willing to work around that and trust us, which was really great.” “I like the carte blanche that you get as a performer,” Laino added. “Ben and I have played around with things. We like the idea of making it fun and bringing the audience into it in ways they are probably not expecting. It’s equal parts songs and storytelling and drinking games and game show and audience participation. It’s this really crazy cluster of stuff that hopefully will blend together and be fun.” Deane said he wants their performance to be the show that people who don’t usually like cabarets rave about. “There are some people who don’t like going to these shows and I want those people, if they are dragged along, I want them to walk out having had a really good time,” he said. “I want people to have fun and do something a little different from any of the shows they may have seen before.” Closing out the series is a staged reading of “My Favorite Husbands,” as a benefit for I’m From Driftwood. Written by playwright Andrew Marvel, “My Favorite Husbands” follows the story of Mark, whose ex-lover is getting married to a rising Republican assemblyman. With numerous GOP bigwigs on the guest list, Mark feels compelled to crash the wedding in drag. With the GOP presidential debates making headlines of late, Marvel said the play takes on some current hot-button issues. “I think it continues to be timely,” Marvel said. “It was timely when it first started in 2013. At the time, the big marriage-equality push hadn’t happened yet, so I think it was timely then. But now, what we’re seeing as a backlash, it becomes relevant from different angles. I’ve also seen things from within the gay community, which I didn’t expect, which is kind of nice. Back in the ‘good ol’ days,’ back before we had to be like everybody else and when we didn’t have to put up with all the mainstream trappings,

ANDREW LAINO AND BEN DEANE I’ve actually seen some articles coming out about that. One of the main characters in the play, that’s where his head is at.” Marvel said that, while the play is a comedy with Republican characters, they’re not trying to make fun of the GOP. “I think it does poke fun of the politicizing of events and jumping on a bandwagon to garner votes because you’re pandering to a partisan electorate that you aren’t sincerely concerned about. The character in the play who is a Republican politician, hopefully what you see in the play is it’s not where his head is at; he’s fighting his battles on the front lines of where he is. Hopefully the humor allows us to look at these issues without getting too polarized or feeling attacked or defensive. My hope is that people from both sides of the fence will come in ready to feel that the story at its base is a love story. It’s about friendship in the gay community and sometimes our friends become family. It’s different. It’s not like in the heterosexual community a little bit. I think that the play is trying to show us that we have the opportunity as gay people to re-look at relationships and you can be faithful or not faithful in a friendship as well as in a marriage.” n Quince Productions present the Full House cabaret series through Nov. 22 at the Skybox at Adrienne, 2030 Sansom St. For more information on the performances or to purchase tickets, visit www.quinceproductions.com/fullhouse.html.

Suzi Nash

Sarah Morrison: Spreading holiday cheer to LGBT youth I truly live by the adage, “’Tis better to give than to receive.” Not that I mind receiving, but I love getting gifts for other people. I keep an eye out for things year-round and my basement is full of “I know someone will love this!” purchases. So imagine my joy when I got a message from photographer Tara Lessard about a group looking for Secret Santas. The organization is the Valley Youth House, a nonprofit working to find housing for homeless youth. If you weren’t aware, we have a shameful epidemic of homeless kids right here in ’Merica. A large number of those kids are LGBT or queer-identified. Many have run away or have been forced out of their homes because of their sexuality or gender identity. Adolescence is difficult enough to navigate — hormones raging, trying to figure out why/how you are different from the other kids and hoping your face will stay clear until they take your yearbook photo — so imagine being young, queer and homeless. Not an easy trifecta. But thankfully, there are people who care and who are trying to do something about it. In the last five years, through its Pride Program, VYH has managed to move 111 LGBT youth into apartments. We spoke to Sarah Morrison, who runs the Pride Program, about what we can do to help. PGN: Tell me about your work at Valley Youth House. SM: I started out about eight-and-a-half years ago as a regular life-skills counselor in our supportive-housing program, which works with youth in foster care. It’s basically mentorship taken to another level; we meet someone and help them to identify what their goals are and how housing affects that. It’s hard to concentrate on a job when you’re worried about where you’re going to be sleeping at night. With the Pride Program, we work one-on-one with the youth to get apartments in their own names and help them with everything from knowing their rights as tenants to what to expect living on their own, how to turn on utilities in their names, paying rent on time to avoid eviction — things that might be considered basic, but they’re only basic once you’ve learned them. One of the things I think we do well is to make this a safe place for people to address challenges. PGN: There’s a scene in Steve Martin’s “The Jerk” where he lives on his own for the first time and when the phone book comes with his name in it, he yells, “I’m somebody now! Millions of people look at this book every day! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity — your name in print — that makes people.” I remember feeling the same way when I got my first apartment and phone. SM: Yeah, having something that recognizes you makes a difference. And even if

they don’t succeed, they know they have support now. It’s OK to say, “I need more help” and look at it not as a failure but as a learning experience. The world isn’t always as nice, but we try to create a little bubble where they can feel supported no matter what, especially if they haven’t had that in the past.

PGN: Where are you originally from? SM: Canada. Ottawa, Ontario. My parents were both American and when I was 10 my father lost his job in Canada, so we moved back to the states to be closer to my grandparents. I grew up mostly in State College, Pa., near Penn State, which is where I went to school.

The Canadian team had seen footage of me skating from the International Women’s Flat Track Association and flew me in to try out. I went to the trial near Toronto and made the team. I got to play in England and France with them, including playing a men’s team in France. I was very proud of it.

PGN: What are some of the specific challenges faced by queer youth? SM: We found a lot of LGBT youth who were being placed with foster-care families who weren’t embracing of them, which was often the reason for them being kicked out or running away. That’s what got us talking about starting a Pride Program.

PGN: Who has the better anthem? SM: Oh, Canada, of course. Now everyone’s going to hate me but the reason I say that is because I played on Team Canada’s roller-derby team.

PGN: What was your derby name? SM: I don’t want to say! It’s disgusting.

PGN: What was the couch project about? SM: In 2009, we received a grant that allowed us to open up the Pride Program, which specifically works with LGBT youth 18-21. It’s great but we know we need to do more so we put together the Shelter and Pride campaign, which is an awareness and fundraising component. A lot of homeless kids (51 percent in our last survey) are invisible because they couch-hop, rotating from friend to friend, without a home to return to. They’re not sleeping on the street or in the open, but they are homeless. So we came up with the program #CouchesDontCount to raise awareness. We put couches around the city — in front of Barnes and Noble, at the Constitution Center and in front of Woody’s — with volunteers posted to tell people about the program. It was great to have the young people be able to tell their stories. I was really proud of them. We had a guy named Noah who did a speech for our press conference, which was published as an op-ed. He was really nervous about being out because his parents are super-religious. There were many courageous youth who stepped up. And it really was a call to action that we needed. Currently, I’m the only counselor in the Pride Program and there’s a limit to what I can do, but the need is limitless. We’d like to do more. It’s not like at 21 you magically know everything to function on your own as an adult. At 23, 24, 25, people are still trying to figure things out and, without support, it’s tough. So the next step is to expand the program until 22; it’s not optimal but it’s one more than 21. It’s that many more people we can help. PGN: Two stories that really moved you? SM: Come on, in eight and a half years there are too many to choose just two! Everyone who walks through these doors has something about them that’s inspiring. They’ve all faced some sort of adversity and have taken steps to overcome it. It would be like picking out your favorite kid to just single out one; each story is unique.

PGN: Roller derby? SM: Yes, when I first moved to Philadelphia I went to a club with some friends and met some of the women from Philly Roller Girls as they were recruiting people to play. I went to one of their bouts and really enjoyed it. I’ve played sports all of my life — basketball, softball and golf in high school, and racquet ball and squash in college — and I’ve always been

PGN: Who picked it? SM: I did. Well, I was having a hard time picking a name so friends were throwing out suggestions. One of them said how about Heavy Flo? I thought, That’s so gross … but you know what? It’s actually very fitting. I’m a larger girl — make that woman — and I think that the strength that I have, the power, are symbolic of my larger size. But I’m also very graceful: a larger person who floats around the track and will be right there when you don’t anticipate it. For that reason, I thought, Why not? One thing that’s great about derby is that they embrace all body types. PGN: Tell me about your family. SM: My parents are retired but they both worked in a hospital and I have one brother. PGN: So you have a family tradition of service-type jobs. SM: Yeah, a lot of teachers and volunteer firefighters. We like helping people. PGN: When did you come out? SM: I came out to my family after college. I knew that they weren’t going to be positive about it and I wanted to make sure I graduated college first. So I came out when I was 21 and, as expected, it didn’t go very well.

very competitive. I hadn’t skated since I was 7 in the basement but I thought, Hey, there are tryouts next week, I should go! So I went and was pretty bad but they didn’t care. I made the team and started the “Fresh Meat” training program and I got better. PGN: How did you end up on the Canadian team? SM: I played for Philly and in December 2013 I also tried out for the national teams.

Photo: Suzi Nash

PGN: Were they religious? Conservative? SM: More on the conservative side. My father is atheist but my mother is more spiritual or religious. But I think, especially with her being a nurse at that time, their concerns were more on the medical side of things, the fear that I’d end up becoming HIV-positive. PGN: Did you ever hear any slurs when you were growing up? PAGE 38

CINEMA PGN

Two new films offer ’50s queer focus By Gary M. Kramer PGN Contributor Two very different but worthwhile films — both with queer origins, and both set in the 1950s — open Nov. 20 at Ritz Theatres. One is a documentary about actor Tab Hunter and the other, “Brooklyn,” is an adaptation of gay author Colm Tóibín’s novel.

“Tab Hunter Confidential” is an affectionate hagiography that chronicles the life and career of the swoon-inducing Hunter, nicknamed the “Sigh Guy.” The film shows how Hunter (born Arthur Kelm) parlayed his good looks into opportunities to develop as an actor, and get under contract at Warner Brothers. His carefully managed career involved studio-approved dates with Natalie Wood and other actresses. Yet while Hunter played along, he tried to keep his relationships with figure skater Ronnie Robertson and actor Anthony Perkins on the QT. The film exposes the intricacies of Hunter’s double life on screen and off, but it is the poignant moments, such as various family and personal crises Hunter experienced, that best reveal his true nature. When he breaks his studio contract to forge his own career, he finds work hard to come by and performs in dinner theater before making John Waters’ “Polyester,” which resuscitated his career and ultimately helped him meet the love of his life, Allan Glaser, who produced this film. “Tab Hunter Confidential,” based on the book of the same name, does not dish much dirt or provide any new insights into how gay men fared in the 1950s — but this is in part because the actor is a gentleman and does not discuss such things. Hunter is extremely likable on screen and the film’s nostalgia factor compensates for its more superficial moments. Fans will also enjoy the images of the screen idol in various photographs and film clips, as well as interviewees ranging from Waters and George Takei to Portia de Rossi and his “Lust in the Dust” co-star, Lainie Kazan. “Brooklyn” is an exquisite and extraordinary drama about Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan), a young woman in 1952 Ireland who is sent to America by her sister, Rose (Fiona Glascott), so she can have a better life. Everything Eilis owns fits in one suit-

case. As she makes the voyage on ship, it is a rough journey. But when she arrives in Brooklyn, director John Crowley closes in on Eilis’ face and then provides a shot of the New York City skyline that signifies this exciting new world. When Eilis steps through a door into America, it is a truly transporting moment. It is one of the film’s many remarkable and affecting scenes. If Eilis’ life at a boarding house — run by the wonderfully fussy but tender Mrs. Kehoe (Julie Walters) — her job at a department store and her bookkeeping classes at Brooklyn College do not quite cure her palpable homesickness, the young woman eventually does find some pleasure with a charming young Italian man, Tony (Emory Cohen), whom she meets at an Irish dance. It is around the time when the couple starts to get serious that “Brooklyn” introduces a plot development (that should not be revealed) that turns the film on its axis. Crowley, working from a script by Nick Hornsby, generates considerable emotion, suspense and yes, tears, as Eilis grapples with having one foot in the homeland and one foot in the new land. The film charts her coming-of-age through her dresses, which become more brightly colored as Eilis gains confidence and radiance. Ronan is absolutely fantastic in the lead role. Her expressive face conveys the considerable (and mixed) emotions she has as the savvy Eilis grapples with problems of loneliness, heartache and finding her independence. “Brooklyn” may tug at the heartstrings, but the film is so well-made that the strong emotions never feel manipulated. Viewers will be moved because they care so deeply

about the characters. The film is well cast, down to the smallest of roles, from the young ladies at the boarding house to a wicked Irish shop owner, Miss Kelly (Brin Brennan), and Tony’s smartass younger brother, Frankie (the scene-stealing James DiGiacomo).

But what makes the film so satisfying is how involving the storytelling is. Every detail, from the costumes to the sets — a sequence at Coney Island feels authentic — to the fabulous cinematography by Yves Bélanger, is perfection. The contrasts between Ireland and America, such as the beaches, the streets and the people, also come across clearly, without feeling as if viewers are being hit over the head with the differences. This makes Eilis’ situation and her decision so fraught with drama and tension, meaning and heartbreak. Crowley and Ronan’s magnificent efforts are what make the film so heart-wrenching. It is almost a spoiler to say the rapturous “Brooklyn” is a tear-jerker, but viewers who succumb to its magic will be crying happy tears. n

SCRUFF: Hooking guys up with travel and safety To mark the five-year anniversary of one of the world’s largest apps connecting gay men worldwide, SCRUFF announced new features to keep you safe while traveling — and to help you travel better. Gay men are travelers, so it is no surprise that SCRUFF launched SCRUFF Venture, a groundbreaking feature that redefines the “hook-up” app space, helping to distinguish SCRUFF from Grindr, Tinder, Daddy Hunt and other mobile apps. SCRUFF set out to create a connection among gay men who travel. In the first week, 20,000 trips were created, dozens of premier events listed and hundreds of Airbnb listings were created. Featured now are 24 destinations, and counting. “Travel has been a core use of SCRUFF: to meet local people when

you arrive in town to get advice, to hook up, to make friends in a city on an event weekend,” said Eric Silverberg, one of the company’s cofounders. “It was very early on that people started describing how they were using SCRUFF while they travel.” Silverberg tells a story of a friend who went on a whirlwind global trip. He was in India, Cambodia, Jordan and Great Britain. He used Scruff — especially in Jordan and Cambodia — before he even arrived. He found guys to talk to on SCRUFF so when he landed he had someone ready to meet up to take him around. He went to gay bars, house parties and a tour of the desert for four days. (But, Silverberg cautioned, be careful who you meet online. They are still strangers.) Silverberg said, “Unlike most straight travelers, gay guys befriend one another quickly and are comfortable sightseeing and spending the day with fellow travelers they have just met.” The travel features of SCRUFF Venture are: • “Visiting Now & Arriving Soon” lists guys who are currently traveling in a city or will be visiting a city in upcoming weeks. • “Ambassadors” are residents of a city who have pledged to provide friendly advice and recommendations to visitors in their city. • Airbnb Integration is for members with listings on Airbnb and VRBO who target gay travelers, a novel idea to connect travelers and accommodations. • Local event listings highlight LGBT events. “SCRUFF wants to keep our members safe when they travel, and we can do that with a technical approach to obscure a member’s location when in a region with unique risks,” said Silverberg. SCRUFF launched “Gay Travel Advisories,” a comprehensive resource dedicated to documenting laws that criminalize same-sex acts worldwide. SCRUFF members who travel to one of the nearly 90 countries listed are alerted via an in-app notification of the consequences of conviction under these laws. SCRUFF Gay Travel Advisories was built in partnership with the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (www.ilga.org), the world federation of national and local organizations dedicated to achieving equal rights for LGBTI people. “Some countries have fines, others prison terms and others the death penalty. We see Gay Travel Advisories as a public service,” said Silverberg. n Jeff Guaracino is the author of “Gay and Lesbian Tourism: The Essential Guide for Marketing.”

Photo: Scott A. Drake It’s great seeing athletes’ names on Out magazine’s Out 100 list again this year, but the most exciting to me, albeit a couple years late, is the inclusion of a pair of soccer players, Abby Wambach and Robbie Rogers. Both came out publicly in 2013. One would think they would have been recognized in 2013 or 2014 but better late … Why soccer? Soccer is worldwide the most-followed sport. This makes visibility opportunities for LGBT players greater than for all other sports. That does not diminish that an out athlete in any sport can be a positive influence, especially to those fans of the more select sports. There are scads of other athletes who came out this past year, from figure skaters to swimmers to runners to a lacrosse coach. To be honest, I find many more of these sports figures to be as, if not more, deserving of an Out100 recognition than the usual high-profile names. These “Out 6” already have high profiles. Why not make the melting pot even more diverse? Soccer fans in Philadelphia have had the Union for a few years now, and even though the naysayers predicted Chester wouldn’t draw regular crowds, PPL Park consistently approaches sellout status. The Philadelphia Falcons are frequently known to go en masse to a home game. If you have any interest in going to a game and don’t want to brave alone your first foray into Union soccer, follow falcons-soccer.org next spring and you’re sure to find a posting to go along. Of special note, the Union hosts

its first 5K Run/Walk starting at 10 a.m. Dec. 6 in and around PPL Park. Participants are encouraged to dress “holiday-like.” Proceeds will benefit a toy drive for Chester County residents. More information can be found at philadelphiaunion.com. The other four on the out list were high-school basketball player Dalton Maldonado, swimmer Diana Nyad, Princeton football player Mason Darrow and former Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner.

PORTRAIT from page 29

SM: I think we had different views about lots of things. I remember my mother would use the term, “He’s funny” to describe someone gay, which was very confusing. I was like, I don’t understand what’s funny. PGN: What prompted you to move into the field you did? SM: I was always taught and brought up to just do good, whether it was being involved with a church or a community center or whatever. I remember my mom telling me in high school that my only job was to get good grades but, as soon as I graduated, it was time to start working. She had an article clipped for AmeriCorps and suggested I give it a try. I applied with them and I don’t know how or why, but I got a job with them working at an after-school program in Central Pennsylvania. It was eye-opening and awesome. There are things that I was sheltered from growing up. I mean we weren’t super-wealthy but seeing poverty in an extreme setting really opened my eyes a lot. As a young person it really energized me to want to help people and make a change. PGN: AmeriCorps was started by Bill Clinton, wasn’t it? I seem to remember my mother being a part of the launch in Philadelphia. It’s based on the Peace Corps but designed to help people in need domestically. And it’s a great opportunity for people to learn new skills and jobs. SM: Yeah, it was a great way for me to get my foot in the workplace door. I interned at a shelter and when my year was over I continued with them. The things I learned with AmeriCorps still influence things I do now. The fact that I was in the trenches and saw what it was like for someone to be separated from their families by choice or not, whether it was a 14-year-old runaway or the 16-year-old who had been removed from the home because of abuse, it really heightened your empathy and sensitivity. PGN: I’m glad the program works, it’s such a great idea. So, if you were a punctuation mark, which one would describe your personality? SM: What do you call it when you write the three dots, an ellipsis? Because everything in my life is evolving and continuing, open-ended. Because I don’t have a definitive answer … but I’ll get one. Or if there were a symbol for the Energizer Bunny because people always tell me they don’t know how I go so hard at everything so fast and for so long. PGN: Pet peeves? SM: Nail biting or picking. Or being rude; it rubs me the wrong way when people are rude or act entitled. Making people feel not so good about themselves would be a big pet peeve. PGN: Sexiest non-sexual body part? SM: I’d have to say the brain. It’s very attractive when somebody is intelligent,

FUN & PGN GAMES

when they’re patient, composed and think things through. PGN: Favorite childhood toy? SM: I had a scooter that I really liked, and the game Mousetrap was fun. Oh, and I had a little recorder that I would tape myself on and then I’d record music on it and make my own little radio program. PGN: The first podcast! SM: Yeah, and then later I started making videos too, my own little sketch comedies. PGN: So let’s get back to Christmas and the Secret Santa. How is that working? SM: Well, we’re matching people up with 250 youth. PGN: After the holidays or if the Secret Santa slots are taken, what else can people do to help? SM: Right now it’s financial help that’s allowing us to provide more services for the people in the program. We have people entering the program all the time, so gift cards are great, especially for the Secret Santa for kids who enter too late to create a wish list. We can always use help with the Youth Count, which is where we go into the streets and do surveys with homeless youth. We have an Amazon wish list of items that we need to distribute: soap, razors, deodorant is a big one, raincoats, there’s a whole list. We do that quarterly and the next one is Jan. 27. We collect for that year-round and if you purchase on Amazon, they mail the actual items to us and we get them to the young people who need them. We do a great fundraiser in March; it’s a casino night called Always Bet on Youth and it’s really fun. This year we’re doing a masquerade theme and there are always ways to help; if you can’t donate time or money, be creative. If you are a waiter, ask your manager if they will donate a gift certificate for the silent auction. When you go to get your hair cut, ask the salon if they’ll donate something. If someone wants to have a third-party fundraiser and raise money or collect goods, that’s great too. As for the day-to-day help, there’s likely something that everyone can do. Most dentists have toothpaste and brushes, so ask for a few extras and drop them off. We have two different groups of people we help: some where we pay for their apartments and some who are still in a shelter or on the street while we’re trying to find housing. So household goods to help someone start out — dish soap, linens, TVs — is great, but even something as small as snacks or food to give people who come in to the office who haven’t eaten is helpful. If you work in a restaurant and have bagels left over, donate them. Having food when you sit and talk with someone makes a big, big difference. n For more information about Valley Youth House’s Secret Santa program, visit www.valleyyouthhouse.org/events/holiday-gift-drive/.
