LGBT art project hits billboards throughout city Charges upheld in murder A pioneering initiative was unveiled this week that united LGBT youth of trans woman and seniors. The collaborative artwork will be displayed on billboards By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com

and bus shelters throughout the area. By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com A cross-generational LGBT art project is gaining unprecedented exposure, as local billboards and bus shelters are now carrying images from the groundbreaking effort. “Showing Face” is the result of a collaborative initiative among youth from The Attic Youth Center and seniors from the John C. Anderson Apartments. The official dedication of the project took place June 24 at JCAA. The project was made possible by The Mural Arts Program, along with The Attic, JCAA, William Way LGBT Community Center, the city’s Department of Human Services, Dr. Magnus Hirschfield Fund and Clear Channel. “This is a cross-generational project that fosters a conversation, dialogue and discourse between two often-disconnected groups in the LGBT community — seniors and young people,” said Mural Arts executive director Jane Golden. “Participants were able to talk about their history and obstacles and how they were overcome. This project shines a light on their stories and presents them in a way the whole city can see.” Golden said the idea for the project was inspired by the popular and similarly largescale Mural Arts “Love Letters” series. “We always envisioned displaying the project like a ‘campaign,’ but it was never feasible until an unplanned conversation with Clear Channel,” Golden said. During a call to discuss unrelated business, Golden said, she mentioned the idea to Clear Channel and they were interested immediately. “They came in and we had a meeting and they made a very generous donation for the billboards,” Golden said. “Now, participants and the LGBT community at large can see themselves reflected in public space. We at Mural Arts believe this the perfect example of our mission of ‘art as social change’ in action.” According to Golden, the idea also resonated instantly with William Way and other organizations that became partners of the project.

BRIDGING THE GENERATIONAL GAP: Seniors, youth and everyone in between gathered at the John C. Anderson Apartments Wednesday morning for the unveiling of “Showing Face,” a cross-generational art project exploring LGBT identity.

Local Scouts to accept gay adults By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com The Boy Scouts of America Cradle of Liberty Council voted unanimously last week to accept gay adult volunteers and employees into the organization. Since 2013, Scouting councils across the country have accepted gay youth, but only a handful have accepted gay adults. Cradle’s new membership and employment policy goes into effect immediately, said James M. Papada, president of Cradle. He said about 30 people attended Cradle’s board of directors meeting on June 19, when the vote was taken.

“We’re just prepared to go forward and hopefully be friends with everybody and be as inclusive as we can,” Papada told PGN. He said Cradle has 75 employees and 5,000 volunteers who serve about 15,000 youth in Philadelphia, Montgomery and Delaware counties. Papada said the public response to Cradle’s action has been mostly favorable. “We’ve only had one negative call so far,” he said. Papada said he doesn’t expect any negative repercussions from national BSA leaders. “We informed senior executives of the BSA that we intended PAGE 17

After being delayed several weeks, the preliminary hearing of the alleged killer of a local transgender woman got off to a strong start in favor of the prosecution. Judge Patrick F. Dugan ruled that Assistant District Attorney Guy D’Andrea had met the Commonwealth’s burden of proof to proceed will all charges against defendant Raheam Felton, including first-degree murder. Felton is charged in connection with the May 18 murder of 21-year-old Londyn Chanel. Instrumental in D’Andrea’s case against Felton was testimony

from Maiya Bankz. Bankz was living in the abandoned North Philadelphia house with Chanel, Felton and another woman at the time of Chanel’s death and was an eyewitness to the alleged murder. Bankz said 31-year-old Felton was her boyfriend of approximately one year. The three had been living in the abandoned home in the 2200 block of Ingersoll Street for only a few days. According to Bankz, Felton, Chanel and the other woman, identified only as Star, returned to the house after Bankz had asked Felton to pick up some Chinese food. Bankz said she had fallen asleep waiting for PAGE 14

Trial date set in Williams case By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com A trial date has been set in the homicide case of Diamond Williams, a local transgender woman who was stabbed to death two years ago. Charles N. Sargent is accused of murdering Williams in July 2013 and then dismembering her body. A one-week jury trial is set to begin March 14, 2016, in Room 807 of the Criminal Justice Center, 1301 Filbert St. The presiding judge hasn’t been announced. Assistant District Attorney Kristen Kemp will serve as prosecutor and J. Michael

Farrell will serve as defense attorney, according to court records. Sargent allegedly invited Williams to his Strawberry Mansion residence during the early-morning hours of July 14, 2013. Sargent told police he stabbed Williams in self-defense after she demanded a pre-arranged payment of $40 for performing oral sex, which he said he refused to pay because she had a penis. But Sargent seeks suppression of his police statement, contending it was obtained under duress. Sargent, 45, remains incarcerated at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in Northeast Philadelphia. n

Rainbow crosswalks completed By Ryan Kasley ryan@epgn.com The much-anticipated installation of rainbow-colored crosswalks at the intersection of 13th and Locust streets in the Gayborhood was scheduled to be completed Wednesday night. The painting came after a week of progress in the effort. Shortly after midnight June 20, the Streets Department began the process of scraping off several layers of asphalt, which took several days, in preparation for the painting. “The rain over the past couple days slowed things down a little,” said Franny Price, executive director of Philly Pride Presents, which is organizing the effort. “But everything is still on schedule.” Once the white crosswalks were removed, the street was smoothed and power-washed before painting began. “You can see where they removed the old crosswalks and how it’s uneven. So they’re going to sand blast it next to smooth everything out,” Price said Wednesday morning. It has also been decided that a “clear top” will be applied to the painted crosswalks to increase their longevity and reduce maintenance costs. An unveiling ceremony and press conference will take place at 11:30 a.m. July 5, in conjunction with the Annual Reminder MURAL from page 1

long-standing relationship with the center since we did the mural there, and there was the connection with [dmhFund president] Mark [Segal] and JCAA. Everyone just got on board right away with this,” Golden said. “It’s really important for Mural Arts to be responsive, value-adding and collaborative partners in the community.” Artists Ashley Kolodner and Brandon Dean were chosen to helm the project, which is expected to run for a few months. Kolodner guided participants through a series of empowering workshops that aimed to bridge the two generations and help them explore identity and envision a more accepting future. Kolodner had students at The Attic create

Day Block Party. Honored guests at the ceremony will include rainbow-flag creator Gilbert Baker and John James — a participant in the Annual Reminder Day protests, among the nation’s earliest LGBT-rights demonstrations. Baker, James and other Reminder Day protesters will be among the first to traverse the crosswalks. Plans for a second set of rainbow crosswalks at 12th and Locust streets have been cancelled. “We’ll see how things go with the first crosswalk,” Price said. “We’ll see what the actual maintenance ends up being. Then we can come back to putting in a second one.” The project, now two years in the making, is a collaborative effort between Philly Pride Presents and the city’s Streets and Public Property departments. n

their own wallpaper-like sheets that would become the backdrop for their photo portraits. She also photographed JCAA residents. Each photo session was comprised of two portraits: one with the subjects’ eyes closed and the second with eyes open. Dean led workshops with seniors at JCAA in which he helped residents and students create zines that recorded the conversations among the two generations. A “master zine” was created that contained all of the participants’ work and will be mass-produced and distributed as a companion to the portrait series.

Three years out, murder victim’s family remains hopeful By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com “We still don’t know why.” Three years after his murder, the family of Michael J. Fox is still searching for answers. But they haven’t given up hope that the gay South Philly resident’s killer will be brought to justice. “An arrest would bring us a lot of closure,” said Fox’s mother, Diane. “We don’t know who. We don’t know why. We don’t know how. An arrest would give us a lot of answers.” Fox, 30, was found dead in his apartment at Eighth and Christian streets June 22, 2012, and is believed to have been killed by blunt-force trauma to the head the night before. Investigators have said Fox knew his killer, but no suspect or person of interest has been publicly identified. Diane said investigators have kept the family updated. “We’re still in touch with them, and

they’re still in touch with us,” she said. “We have no updates but we know they are still

working the case.” Fox was a former barback at Woody’s and an artistic roller skater who aspired to be a hair stylist. Diane said the family spent the third anniversary Sunday visiting his grave, in Mays Landing, N.J. “We always try to make it a nice day. We went out as a family and spent some time there and left lots of flowers. There’s so many flowers there; it becomes peaceful that way.” Diane visits the cemetery every Friday with Starbucks coffee, continuing a tradition she had with her son. “We would always go to Starbucks on Fridays together, so I still do it,” she said, noting that the grieving process has evolved in the last three years. “It’s definitely been a roller-coaster ride but I think anger takes over now. You want to know. You want to know the answers, and why you can’t get those answers.” To get answers, the family has been

trying to keep Fox’s case alive in the media and the public. Every year on his birthday, Oct. 1, his family canvases Philadelphia with posters urging anyone with information to come forward. Diane recently taped an update for the Citizens Crime Commission, which ran earlier this month on 6ABC, and Fox has been the spotlighted case on the commission’s billboards throughout the area. “In working with the Citizens Crime Commission, they’ve given us stories of how cases through the years, it’s been maybe five or six years, and someone just happens to come into the city and see something about the case and goes, ‘Oh, I remember that,’ and there’s a new lead,” Diane said. “That’s why we want to keep plugging along.” The Citizens Crime Commission is offering a $21,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Fox’s killer. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call 215-546-8477. n

Lib City leader launches youth program with $10K award By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com Ten local men were presented a prestigious honor this week — including an LGBT community member who plans to use the award to empower local youth. Malcolm Kenyatta was inducted into the Philadelphia BMe Leaders program Monday night, an effort that provides participants $10,000 grants to spearhead programs that support BMe Community’s mission of community-building led by black men. Kenyatta, 24, is a North Philadelphia native and resident who is going to use his grant to establish the Kenyatta Foundation, in honor of his grandfather, Muhammad Kenyatta, a civil-rights activist who ran against former Mayor Frank Rizzo in 1975. The foundation is expected to launch later this summer. “The foundation looks to engage young people to be better writers and speakers and allows them to see a problem, target it and fix it,” Kenyatta explained. He is working with state Rep. Curtis Thomas to institute a “scholars program” throughout schools

News Briefing Bias incident still not reported A brutal assault against two gay men last year hasn’t been reported as a bias incident by the Philadelphia Police Department, according to information posted on the Pennsylvania State Police website. On Sept. 11, two gay men walking in Center City were attacked by three people after being asked if they were a couple. The victims were punched in the face, head and chest, and sustained multiple injuries, requiring transportation to a hospital. One of them suffered two broken cheekbones, and his jaw was wired shut for about two months. A preliminary investigation indicated the incident was motivated by antigay bias. It prompted Philadelphia City Council to enact tougher penalties for crimes based on anti-LGBT animus. But Philadelphia police haven’t reported the Sept. 11 assault as a bias incident to the Pennsylvania State Police. It’s too late for the inci-

in the North Philly area, to train and empower youth to identify and problem-solve issues within their schools. “That has been my life so far: finding issues, targeting them and working to fix them,” Kenyatta said. He noted his grandfather was a “huge inspiration” in his work thus far. He followed his grandfather’s passion for politics, currently serving as Liberty City LGBT Democratic Club’s youngest board member. The 2012 Temple grad, who majored in public communication with a minor in political science, recently ran Sherrie Cohen’s City Council campaign. Kenyatta said he’s eager to take on this next leadership role with BMe and the Kenyatta Foundation — especially as an out LGBT person. “Representation is important for any young person. I’m a 24-year-old black guy in North Philly living with my husband and working every day to find ways to make a difference, and that’s important for young people to see,” he said. “I’ve been able to do some good things, whether it’s running a campaign and talking about issues of poverty, discrimination and economic equality, or working to make Liberty City more inclusive and holistic of the LGBT community. And now I have the opportunity to launch this foundation to help young people not get beat down or discouraged. I want to show them that if we all work hard and put our minds together, there’s nothing we can’t do.” For more information about BMe Community, visit bmecommunity.org. n dent to be included in the FBI’s annual hate-crimes report. But if it’s reported to the state police by December, it can be included in the FBI’s internal database of bias incidents. A Philadelphia Police spokesperson couldn’t be reached for comment. The FBI offers training to law-enforcement agencies that aren’t reporting bias incidents in a reasonable manner, according to its website.

Inmate files federal lawsuit Kenneth J. Houck Jr., an openly gay inmate who was assaulted while reading an LGBT novel, is suing in federal court for $1 million in damages. In 2011, two inmates at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia entered Houck’s cell and assaulted him, causing multiple fractures to Houck’s right leg. Houck recently filed a lawsuit against the federal Bureau of Prisons, alleging cruel and unusual punishment, deliberate indifference, neglect, defamation and retaliation. He contends the prison system hasn’t provided adequate medical care for his injuries, and he’s often in “agonizing” pain. He also claims a prison staffer uttered defamatory statements about him, placing him in danger of additional physical assaults by inmates. The matter has been assigned to U.S. Magistrate Judge Gordon P. Gallagher, who’s based in Grand Junction, Colo. PAGE 9

In 2011, Houck pleaded guilty to one county of transporting child pornography, and remains incarcerated in a federal prison in Littleton, Colo. Ed Ross, a BOP spokesperson, declined to comment for this story. Houck’s scheduled release date is May 18, 2018.

Open-records office posts guidance The Pennsylvania Office of Open Records has posted guidance on its website for agencies that have been asked to provide certified copies of records. The guidance includes a sample form for agencies to use when they provide certified copies of records to a requester. The guidance is timely, as PGN has requested certified records from the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office pertaining to the Nizah Morris incident. So far, the D.A.’s Office hasn’t provided the requested records. But in a May 29 letter, the office indicated it would have more information about PGN’s request by June 29. Morris was a transgender woman found with a fatal head wound in 2002, shortly after a “courtesy ride” from Philadelphia police. Her homicide remains unsolved. The certified records requested by PGN

Teen to be deposed in bullying case A teenager who allegedly suffered antigay bullying while a student at the Pennsauken School District will be deposed by attorneys for the district in August, a federal judge has ordered. The teenager, known only as “D.V.” in court papers, will be deposed on Aug. 20, according to a June 12 order by U.S. Magistrate Judge Joel Schneider. D.V.’s uncle, Thomas Vandergrift, will be deposed on Aug. 4, and D.V.’s grandparents will be deposed on Aug. 18, according to the order. District officials allegedly accused Vandergrift of molesting D.V. after Vandergrift advocated for a proper education for his nephew. Vandergrift denies the molestation accusations and is suing in federal court for an unspecified amount in damages, along with policy changes within the district. Neither side had a comment for this update. n — Timothy Cwiek

Creep of the Week

D’Anne Witkowski

Mike Huckabee

Editorial

Cultural consequences Tragedy struck Charleston, S.C., last week. While the families and friends of the nine victims killed in the mass shooting at a church are surely trying to make sense of the senseless, the incident has also opened a much-needed discussion about the dangerous consequences of institutionalized hate. The man who opened fire during a prayer group was thankfully swiftly arrested and will now face the wheels of justice. However, the context of the crime has raised the question of whether the defendant is the only one to blame for the murder. From his own reported admissions, the shooter targeted his victims because they were black. While little is known yet about the factors in the shooter’s upbringing that could have motivated such a mentality, this incident has thankfully spurred a spotlight on the undercurrent of racism in our country. One of the most visible icons of that institutionalized bias is the Confederate flag, still being flown across countless Southern states. It’s beyond comprehension that the symbol of a coalition whose primary goal was to retain the practice of slavery should be used by any government entity, let alone any private property. But that it took a tragedy such as this to even prompt public discussion on taking those flags down speaks volumes to how willfully ignorant some are to what racism looks like. This issue isn’t unlike the culture of homophobia in our country. Just like the message proclaimed by the display of the Confederate flag, there are countless statements being broadcast across our country that LGBTs are unwelcome. From states like Pennsylvania whose laws still allow LGBT people to be fired, evicted or discriminated against to the gender segregation of restrooms, programs and activities in our schools, many LGBT people are ubiquitously surrounded by symbols that they are less than. But because we are on the cusp of national marriage equality, many may assume that homophobia is swiftly being eradicated from our country — just like the argument that, because we elected an African-American president, we’ve progressed past racism. It shouldn’t take a tragedy like this for the vestiges of hate that permeate our country to be challenged, although the lives lost in Charleston are tangible, impactful examples of the consequences of cultural hatred. From symbols to laws to hate groups, the icons and institutions that embrace the oppression of a group of people need to be exposed as vehicles of breeding hate — an effort that could be buoyed by the unity of myriad marginalized groups. n

Growing the gay identity in the new millennium “Why do we need to grow?” the reader may well ask. “We’re out and proud. Plus, we’re gaining more legal protections each year and are more accepted by the average person and our families.” The answer is that, despite these gains, life for the majority of gays — including young, proud and out gays — is still negatively impacted, psychologically and socially, by the past, by the history of gay oppression. The sex in homosexual The reason our lives are in many respects stuck in the past is that the gay lifestyle has not changed appreciably since the early days of gay liberation. Many of us appear to still be in the throes of that aspect of gay liberation that was about giving free reign to our libidos and flouting the prevailing sexual and moral culture. In the 1990s, there was somewhat of a fight going on about the future nature of gay sexual culture. On the one side, people like Larry Kramer and Michael Signorelli said that the sexual culture we created had murdered us and that we must change that culture. On the other side were people like Michael Warner, a founder of Sex Panic!, who countered that promiscuous sex is the essence of gay liberation and that “it’s an absurd fantasy to expect gay men to live without a sexual culture when we have

almost nothing else that brings us together.” The culture didn’t budge. With HIV now a “manageable” disease, young gays and many older ones began once again having sex with wild abandon, and “barebacking” has reportedly become mainstream. This is dangerous. According to the Centers for Disease Control, from “2008-10, there was a 12-percent increase in the number of new HIV infections among [men who have sex with men]. Among the youngest MSM — those aged 13-24 — new infections increased 22 percent.” HIV remains a dangerous virus, and we don’t know what the future will hold. But it’s more than a health issue. Promiscuous sex is psychologically and socially harmful. I know the adage that men are pigs when it comes to sex, but why this obsession with promiscuous sex among gay men? Ironically, far from being an expression of liberation, promiscuous sex recalls the darkest days of our oppression, of furtive dalliances by men in parks and bath houses when most gay men had no other options. But now there clearly are many options for gays, with marriage just being the latest. The world around us has, to a significant extent, changed. So why haven’t we grown more as individuals and as a community? Gay Pride in 2015 should take us further. Kramer tried leading the way, but his

was a voice in the wilderness. Growth will come about only if leaders across our community, including publications, start a discussion of what it means to be gay now and the role of sex. We must talk about sex addiction in the gay community. We must talk about healthy gay sex — sex that promotes psychological and social health, not just medical. This is not about desexualizing the movement. It’s just showing gay men what the role of healthy sex can be in their lives, and that a good life requires more than good sex. It has nothing to do with marriage. Is there more to a gay identity than sex? Earlier I quoted a comment that there’s nothing that makes us gay or brings us together other than sex. I would disagree. While male-to-male attraction is the defining element, that means more than sex; it means relationships, bonding, love. We are human beings with human needs. Beyond the personal, there is an astounding commonality to the sensibility of being gay, regardless of our backgrounds. Our style, our flair, our sense of humor, our

sense of still being viewed as apart — it is these things that connect us, in addition to our sexual preference. When we are gathered together, we are not white, black, young or old — we are just gay. The question that faces the gay community is similar to that facing many subgroups of our broader culture. How do you maintain an identity and cohesion while simultaneously assimilating more into the broader society? In the old days, when discrimination was common and acceptance was minimal, gays clustered in a neighborhood and made it theirs. Now, between gays being more accepted and rising housing costs forcing many out of their old neighborhoods, gays are typically spread out over a larger area. The critical mass necessary to provide the feeling of neighborhood community just isn’t there in many cities, including Philadelphia. We are a disparate group, which makes a viable community difficult. But we are still drawn to bars, coffee shops, concerts and other venues where we can enjoy the presPAGE 14 ence and support of each

Felton to return. Felton arrived and joined Bankz in the third-floor bedroom of the house to eat. Minutes later, Bankz testified, Chanel entered the room and told her that Felton had been sexually touching her. Bankz testified that, at that point, Felton began to stab Chanel, apparently upset by the accusation against him. The medical examiner’s report indicated that Chanel was stabbed a total of six times: four times in the right side of her back, once in the neck and once in the lower left side of her chest. Some of the stab wounds were as deep as 4 inches. Bankz said that after recovering from shock, she tried to separate the two and succeeded in pulling Chanel away. She said she tried to pin Felton’s arms to his side and get him to put the knife down. At this point, Bankz said, Chanel was laying on the floor, and Felton ran downstairs. She followed, and she and Felton tried to find someone outside to call 911. Felton located a school cop, who called police. Bankz said she went back to the scene to bring Chanel downstairs and outside so the ambulance could tend to her more quickly. Felton helped carry her as much as he could, given his left arm was paralyzed from a stroke unrelated to the incident, Bankz said. When authorities arrived, Bankz said, an ambulance took Chanel away and police began questioning Felton. Bankz said Felton initially told police he didn’t know who stabbed Chanel, but Bankz interjected and identified Felton as the stabber. Defense attorney Charles P. Mirarchi 3d argued the incident was a “fight,” and said the defendant’s actions were in self-defense and made without specific intent, warranting a lesser charge like third-degree murder. However, D’Andrea contended Felton’s actions were unprovoked by any physical altercation, and the severity and number of stab wounds to the victim indicated intent. Dugan agreed with the prosecution and let all charges stand against Felton. The next court date is 11 a.m. July 14 in Room 1104 of the Criminal Justice Center, 1301 Filbert St. n OP-ED from page 11

FITNESS & FAMILY PGN

Three phases of life, according to Ayurveda Ayurveda relates the five elements to three phases of life — Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The five elements dance through time and space and become the biological medial terms of Ayurveda: Vata, made up of ether/space elements; Pitta, the combination of fire with water; and Kapha, comprised of water and earth. These three “doshas” are describing qualities, tendencies, characteristics and attributes relative to the phases we all go through. Kapha The first phase begins with Kapha, the “Spring Type.” We all begin in the womb, a womb of sorts, and this environment is very watery. We establish the solidity of earth known as Vishnu immunity. This happens from in utero and until the onset of puberty — traditionally from birth and until 15. The word “kapha” means to grow, to create form. It is anabolic. “Mother’s milk” is the primary substance that nurtures the body and mind, establishing immunity. Kapha governs immunity.

Pitta The next phase is Pitta, the “Summer Type.” Pitta begins with puberty, where testosterone and estrogen further transform the body and mind. Pitta means “that which transforms and digests.” The average age used to be 15, but now is much earlier and lasts until between 45-50. Testosterone is high in men and estrogen is prominent in women, and appetites and metabolism increase. Pitta is about metabolism and governs the endocrine system and digestive system. Sex drive increases. Pitta phase is about establishing and exerting oneself in the world through identity, like the sun wanting to be seen more.

Work It Out

M. Ayu

Vata The last stage is Vata, the “Fall Type.” Vata begins when the processes andropause and menopause initiate. Andropause is the decline of testosterone in men, with an increase in estrogen, and menopause is the decrease of estrogen and

an increase in testosterone in women. The poles reverse here. Sex drive slows down. Appetite diminishes. Vata governs the nervous system and sleep quantity and quality changes. This is a more delicate and sensitive time. This time ends when the last breath is taken. It is also during this phase that the quality of our health can be observed and we can see through symptoms, or the lack thereof, how well the first 45-50 years of life have been properly managed or mismanaged. Vata-predominant people will show more symptoms, i.e., arthritis, dementia, Parkinson’s, insomnia, constipation, dryness, joint issues and more. Pitta-predominant people will have possible alleviation of Pitta symptoms since they are no longer in their Pitta phase, and Vata can show up but in different ways, depending on how imbalanced Pitta was during its earlier years. Kapha will have less symptoms but if Kapha is out of balance then it can affect Vata negatively, by what we call “blocking Vata”; Alzheimer’s may be an example, and even thyroid health and memory issues can be clearly observed. Those who make it to this phase will see

the fruits of investment or the fermentation of wasted seeds. Keep in mind that Ayurveda speaks volumes to how Vata-predominant types are prone to more Vata conditions, Pitta to more Pitta and Kapha to more Kapha. Ayurveda is a preventative system of medicine and health care but also a guide to support you in optimal living. How we choose to live our lifestyle will determine if we will incur disease or redirect it. Our lifestyle should be a reflection of our life, and our life should be supported by choices that enliven us versus enslave us. As we live according to the daily cycle, seasonal cycle, annual cycle, lunar cycle and life cycles, we can recycle the breath over and over again with more joy and less sorrow but ultimately more peace and ease. n

openlibrary.org), is the 1991 book “Gloria Goes to Gay Pride,” by Lesléa Newman, author of the classic “Heather Has Two Mommies.” Gloria and her two moms go to a Pride parade, where they meet other families and people from their neighborhood. Most of the spectators smile and cheer, but a few sit by a sign saying, “Gays go away.” When Gloria asks why, one of her moms explains, “Some women love women, some men love men and some women and men love each other. That’s why we march in the parade — so everyone can have a choice.” They move on to the park to dance and have lunch. The story holds up remarkably well, despite somewhat dated illustrations and use of the term “Gay Pride” rather than the more current “LGBT Pride.” Because the U.S. Supreme Court is set to rule on marriage equality this month, another timely read is Newman’s more recent book, “Donovan’s Big Day,” about a boy getting ready for his mothers’ wedding. The young boy experiences the problems any child might face while attending a wedding: He has to dress up, keep clean, not fidget and hand his moms their rings at the proper moment. There is no sense that marriage for same-sex couples is an “issue,” and I love that approach — although parents might also use the book as a jumping-off point to discuss marriage equality if kids hear it mentioned in the news. Middle-grade fiction readers should try Jennifer Gennari’s “My Mixed Up Berry

Blue Summer,” about a 12-year-old girl, June, living with her mom and soon-to-be stepmom in Vermont just after the state enacted civil unions. She must deal not only with the skepticism and resentment any child with a new stepparent might have, but also with her local community’s sometimes-negative response to the civil-union law and the lesbian family in their midst. Gennari avoids preachiness, however, by making civil unions only one of the many issues that June must grapple with, and by showing the diversity of opinions on the matter. The resilience June shows in the face of bias (and the allies she finds) may give strength to children in states where marriage equality is still being contested. These books only scratch the surface of possible Pride themes for children’s books. How about a middle-grade mystery involving a stolen parade-float decoration? Or a biography of Brenda Howard, the bisexual woman who was pivotal in creating a parade for Stonewall’s one-year anniversary and laying the foundations of Pride? Our children and their peers need these books and many more, for positive images of LGBTQ history and culture in books will help bolster a sense of pride — as well as Pride. n

to put the matter before our board for its decision,” Papada said. “They just thanked us for calling and had no other substantive response.” He said recent comments by BSA president Robert Gates in favor of easing membership and employment restrictions prompted Cradle’s action. “My understanding is that there will be no repercussions if a local council accepts LGBT adults who are otherwise qualified,” Papada noted. Cradle is headquartered in Treddyfrin Twp., but it was formerly headquartered in a city-owned building on the Ben Franklin Parkway. Cradle left the building about two years ago, after declining to sign a city lease with comprehensive antibias language. Papada said Cradle has no intention of returning to the building. “We have other ways of being involved in Philadelphia without being present in that building,” he said. “It’s a very nice building. And it has tre-

mendous historical and emotional significance. But we don’t have a day-to-day use for it.” Greg M. Lattera was ejected from Cradle about 12 years ago, after coming out as a gay Life Scout. He’s currently employed as a firefighter in a suburb of Pittsburgh. Lattera said he would have avoided “a lot of heartache” if Cradle took its LGBT-equity action 12 years ago. “I just hope they stick to their guns,” he said. “I’d also appreciate an honorary membership in Cradle, because they unjustly removed me. I just think it would be the honorable thing to do.” Papada declined to comment on Lattera’s request for an honorary membership. Papada also said a mechanism is in place to field antibias complaints at Cradle. “If members of the LGBT community come out and feel they’ve been wrongly treated, they can register their complaint, and there’s a mechanism in place to deal with it,” he said. n

here. We are not just part of the community. We are actively building community.” Philly Youth Pride is a celebration of all the things that keep our young people resilient. I have been so humbled to have the opportunity to bear witness to the organizing of this event. Watching students work selflessly for many months, through midterms and finals, some of them graduating this month and still meeting every week to slowly bring this event, their vision, to fruition. Philly Youth Pride is more than just an event. It is a reminder for me that young people do not need saving: Our young people are saving the world. And now that I’ve said my piece, here’s what 17-year-old Tyunique Nelson of the organizing committee had to say about the work of producing Philly Youth Pride: The idea to create our own Youth Pride originated on a trip to the National GSA Network Annual Gathering. We were discussing ways to get people in Philadelphia involved in celebrating LGBTQ youth in Philadelphia, and we figured out that the best way to celebrate youth in Philadelphia would be to throw a Pride event that would be specifically focused on youth. Philadelphia already has a huge Pride event that happens every year, but we wanted to have a space created by youth, for youth. I and the other three members of the Ally Safe Schools Student Leadership Board spent the summer and school year coming up with new ideas, speaking to community members and leading meetings to put this

screeners will also be available when possible. The center will be open from noon-4 p.m. the first and third Saturday of the month and the second and fourth Friday and Saturday. PAT co-founder and co-manager Christina Kallas Saritsoglou said the program has been a long time coming for the store, which has donated more than $1 million to HIV/AIDS causes in the past decade. “When we moved into the new space about four years ago, we were trying to think of ways to do something even more to help the community, so it was something we’ve been talking about for a while,” she said. “But people just got more and more generous and kept giving us things, so our space was filling up.” Over the last few years, however, PAT expanded its space to the building next door and spread out its inventory, freeing up enough space for a testing center, which was funded by donations from the Diabolique Foundation. The 300-square-foot space, accessible by stairs and elevator, includes a reception area and testing room, decorated with PAT items. “The fact that we’re having a

extravagant event together. We each chose our own roles and stuck to them the entire year. For the first time in Philadelphia’s history, there will be a Philadelphia Youth Pride event! We hope that Philly Youth Pride will be an annual event for many years to come. With the assistance of the amazing Education Team at Mazzoni Center, we were able to plan our event. Planning Philly Youth Pride has helped members of the Student Leadership Board develop and perfect important leadership skills and fulfill our passions. Philly Youth Pride will take place July 5. In the morning, SLB members will facilitate workshops they have chosen based on issues youth in Philadelphia face. Keith Southerland will facilitate a workshop on online etiquette. Damien Walker will facilitate a workshop on combatting bullying, and I will facilitate “Feelin’ Myself,” a workshop on self-love and body positivity. SLB members created their own workshop topics, activities and materials. The second half of Philly Youth Pride is an alcohol-free block party for people under 24 to enjoy delicious food, interesting tables and a stage reserved for performances. All day, youth from all around Philadelphia will be able to show off their talents!

In 2004, Time magazine named him one of the “100 most influential people in the world,” and in 2012, he was awarded the Barnard Medal of Distinction alongside President Barack Obama.

David Carter - David began his work as an LGBT civil rights activist by raising money to try to defeat Anita Bryant’s efforts to overturn Dade County’s anti-gay discrimination law in 1977, when he lived in Wisconsin. Subsequently, he helped to create a grass roots LGBT movement in Wisconsin, which helped Wisconsin pass the nation’s first

statewide law that outlawed discrimination against gay men and lesbians. Carter has been involved in a number of creative endeavors over his career, including making a documentary film about Meher Baba (“Meher Baba in Italy,” 1977) and helping to start the nation’s second LGBT TV series, “Glad to be Gay” (1979). He is the author of a number of books, including “Spontaneous Mind” (2001; a collection of Allen Ginsberg’s interviews that he edited) and “Stonewall: The Riots That Sparked the Gay Revolution” (2004). Stonewall was the basis for the American Experience film “Stonewall Uprising,” which was based on Carter’s book and for which Carter served as the consultant. “Stonewall Uprising” was one of three films that were cited as the reason for the American Experience film series being given a George Foster Peabody Award in 2012. Carter is currently writing a biography of LGBT civil rights pioneer Frank Kameny.

Her most recent book, “The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle” will be published by Simon and Schuster in September. Faderman’s books have been translated into seven languages. She has won six Lambda Literary Awards, two American Library Association Awards, and several lifetime achievement awards for LGBT scholarship, including the Monette/Horwitz Award, the Bill Whitehead Publishing Triangle Award, and Yale University’s James Brudner Award.

Memo to Jim Some thoughts for our next mayor

D

ear Councilman Kenney: Congratulations on your victory in the Democratic mayoral primary. Don’t be distracted by talk of Bill Green ramping up an independent candidacy against you in the fall. It will not happen and, even if Mr. Green is delusional enough to believe he can beat you in the fall, he cannot. And don’t pay attention to those who tell you that less than 25 percent of Philadelphians cast a vote for you to be mayor. In January 2016, you will be sworn in at the Academy of Music regardless of the number of votes cast for you and 100 percent of Philadelphians will call you mayor. You will have the same mandate as every individual who takes the oath of office for the first time: the absolute and unequivocal mandate to lead. So start now. First, the small stuff. Your predecessor, Michael Nutter, was habitually late for meetings. Don’t be. As you may have learned in grade school, habitual tardiness is a character flaw; it sends a message that your time is more important than everyone else’s, which it is not. A corollary flaw, also exhibited by your predecessor, was the belief that he was always the smartest guy in the room. This is not just off-putting, it sends the message that

you do not want strong people around you with, at times, a different view of the problems you confront or, more importantly, the path to solution. There will be no shortage of vexing problems on your desk at any given time; surround yourself with the best and brightest to solve them. Second, fire someone high up and do it in the first few days of your administration. This may sound a bit ruthless but nothing creates the image of cleaning house and a new beginning than a good firing. It is a message that needs to be made externally but also taken to heart by the thousands of city employees who must feel every day that performance counts and no job is tenured. A corollary to this rule: don’t surround yourself with politicians who have lost elections. We like Frank DiCicco, Eddie Neilson and W. Wilson Goode, Jr. They each may have something to offer your administration. But collectively they would undermine the message of a forward-looking administration ready to find new solutions to age-old problems. And while we’re on the subject of hirings, let’s go back to the Ed Rendell-David L. Cohen model of chief of staff. A strong, competent, politically savvy COS with institutional memory that matches your own and

… don’t be afraid to do the big stuff.

an absolute fidelity to your agenda should be your first order of business. While he/she may be difficult to find, it is not impossible and the time you spend finding the right person for the job will be paid back in spades in time savings you will accrue from being able to delegate the smaller stuff so you can focus on the bigger stuff. Which brings us to the third piece of advice: don’t be afraid of doing the big stuff. Here’s three areas to do something big (about which LibCityPress readers are quite familiar): (1) own the Fourth of July; don’t just have fireworks, have the largest fireworks in the nation and have them exploding over Independence Hall; and don’t just have The Roots, get an A-level act, and have Comcast NBC carry the fireworks and concert on national prime time television; (2) cap I-95 and deliver a vision of the waterfront that

connects it to Independence Mall with multiuse residential, commercial, retail; every mayor since Wilson Goode has talked a good game when it comes to the waterfront, you need to deliver it to us; and (3) find a solution to the annual hole in the school district’s budget that does not rely on tax increases; leverage PIDC properties into economic development projects in which the city school district is an equity shareholder and distributions go directly to school districts (start with the old food processing center at the stadiums: close your eyes and think world’s largest sports bar). In the end, Mr. Mayor-to-be, legacy is not something you start thinking about in the seventh year of an eight-year term, it should start seven months before your first year in office. That was last week. JUNE 21 - 28, 2015

SHERIFF’S SALE Properties

to

be

sold

by

JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff on Tuesday, July 7, 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. Properties can be looked up by the BRT number – which should be cross checked with the address. Prospective purchasers are also directed to the Room 154 City Hall, 215-686-1483 and to its website philadox.phila.gov and to its website at http://philadox. phila.gov where they can view the deed to each individual property and find the boundaries of the property. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE NATURE, LOCATION, CONDITION AND BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTIES THEY SEEK TO PURCHASE. The BRT # refers to a unique number assigned by the City Bureau of Revision of Taxes to each property in the City for the purpose of assessing it for taxes. This number can be used to obtain descriptive information about the property from the BRT website. Effective Date: July 7, 2006

Schedule of Distribution Thirty (30) Days from the date of the sale of Real Estate. Distribution will be made in accordance with the Schedule unless exceptions are filed thereto within ten (10) days thereafter. 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. Very truly yours, JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff City and County of Philadelphia

New Path to Health Philly-created Latinas in Motion group now in eight states by Sheila Simmons

E

laine Johnson uses baby steps to lead women into the activity of running. “Think it. Say it. Do it!” hundreds of them chant back at her in outfits of multicolored leggings and tank tops emblazoned with the words “Latinas in Motion.” This First Annual Love, Peace & Run 5K and its group, Latinas In Motion, is the result of one woman’s quest to overcome the negative feelings left by gaining 50-plus pounds since giving birth to her daughter. “I decided to go running. I grew to love it,” Johnson says. Then she participated in the Broad Street Run, where she encountered various running groups and felt the high of crossing a finish line, receiving a medal and sensing she could do anything in the world. “I wanted to share this with other women,” Johnson says. But she noticed Latina women did not have a presence in any of dozens of running groups across the city. And the quickspeaking, energetic mother of two determined, “I wanted to let them know we can get together and empower each other.” Since Johnson sent out an inquiry email in June 2012, Latinas in Motion has grown to 2,000 members in eight states. These states in motion include New Jersey, New York and Florida. “We have a huge chapter in the Bronx,” Johnson says. “They rock out.”

12

Johnson cites another motivation for her organizing the group — statistics that say heart disease accounts for onethird of all deaths among Latinas, who have higher rates of obesity and diabetes than their white counterparts. Latinas in Motion “provides an atmosphere that contradicts these statistics and fosters a community of women living healthy lifestyles. We pride ourselves on exercise, good nutrition and taking care of ourselves.” Local member Melissa, reflected in a film by GreenTreks Production on Tacony Park, where Latinas in Motion’s Fox Chase chapter meets for a 5:15 a.m. Work It Wednesdays run, “I never ran a block before I met with Elaine. And I’ve run two 10-mile races and am hoping to run a half marathon next year.” Johnson also notes, “Women can be catty, but with Latinas in Motion, you can hear the girls saying, ‘Come on! You can do it! One more minute!’” More than 350 participants and a slew of sponsors attended the group’s 5K, to cheer or to run along the dirt paths of event’s Friend’s Select school site. But Johnson also stresses that members don’t have to be runners. “We do meet and run in our community,” she says. “We don’t know anyone’s economic status, so we don’t promote anything where you have to pay. But we have Latinas in Motion who do zumba, dancing, walking, cross-training. It’s what ‘motion’ means to you. And that’s a beautiful thing.”

Out comedian bodybuilder launches web series By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com

Out comedian and bodybuilder Peter Bisuito is taking his sense of humor to the Internet with his new web series, “Exposing Peter.” Yes, you read that right: comedian, bodybuilder and now writer and star of his own web series. When does he sleep? “You have to sleep in order to grow, so, absolutely,” Bisuito said. “I’m just trying to live life to the fullest. Comedy is a new endeavor for me. Although I’ve been performing for 25 years, I just decided to make comedy my full-time career less than three years ago. It was always a part-time thing that I did on the side. Two or three years ago I said, ‘What the heck am I doing? This is isn’t what I want to do in life.’” Factoring into that decision was comedian Kathleen Madigan.

“She has a huge following. She makes me laugh from the time she takes the stage to the time she leaves. So I quit my job, quit my business, gave up my income entirely and I started pursuing comedy full-time. That’s not an easy thing to do when you are in your 40s,” Bisuito said. “But I took the leap of faith and I am working as much and as hard as I can. I’m working all over the country. I’m working on cruise ships. I’m getting a fan base.” The Buffalobased performer is indeed doing that, having appeared at events like Urban Bear in New York City and opening shows for drag stars like Bianca Del Rio. He also headPETER BISUITO lines his own theater shows around the country. “Thanks God for Facebook,” he said. “I have sold hundreds and hundreds of tickets through Facebook alone. I’m getting

savvy with social-media outlets. I have over 25,000 fans and followers so far. Comics who aren’t using the Internet and all this technology out there are crazy.” And while Bisuito has been getting a lot of attention from gay audiences and international gay publications, he said his comedy appeals to audiences outside of the LGBT and bear communities. “Me being gay, I try to target the gay community,” he said. “Especially being a bodybuilder, I try to use sex appeal. I’m not the first person to use sex appeal to advance their career and I’m not going to be the last. But I do all kinds of audiences. I just did a huge show in Buffalo, a fundraiser for the ASPCA, and the theater sat 700 people and 90 percent of the audience was straight. I did a show last month for the Kiwanis Club, which was mostly elderly people. So I do everything.” He added that audiences have more of a

problem wrapping their heads around the fact that he’s a bodybuilder than they do accepting his sexuality. “When they ask what I do for a living and I say I’m a professional comedian, they say, ‘I’ve never seen a comedian like you before,’” he said. “There aren’t too many comedians who body-build. It’s hard for people to take me serious because they aren’t used to seeing a muscular guy tell jokes, but people have really taken to me. I think it’s just a matter of time before I become a household name.” It probably doesn’t hurt that Bisuito likes to put a lot of showmanship into his performances, which often include flashy and dramatic entrances and staging. Bisuito said he likes to incorporate his theater background into his shows. “I was in musical theater for many, many years,” he said. “I had a typical dancer body: 6-feet tall, PAGE 28

145 pounds. So I try to incorporate some kind of showmanship in my shows. I love showmanship. I want to bring out my theater roots and combine it with my comedy.” Bisuito said launching his own web series seemed like the next logical step after being a professional performer for 25 years and a full-time comedian for a relatively short period of time. “I have a very extensive background in theater and acting,” he said. “I’ve produced and directed. I’ve also owned my own video-production company for 12 years. I’m also a comedian. So I thought, Let me pool all of my talents together and come up with a really fun web series that everyone can enjoy. So I’m kind of a one-man band. I didn’t consult with anybody. It’s something I concocted in my head based on my 25 years of everything it takes to produce a web series.” Bisuito said “Exposing Peter” is based on his experiences, that it won’t be formulaic or follow a specific plot. “It’s going to be everything,” he said. “I didn’t really want a cast of characters

because it limits you to those characters and because it’s a low-budget show, you just never know if people are going to be moving from Buffalo or if there is going to be a personality conflict. You just never know what is going to happen with a set of characters. So I thought, Why not just make it about everything? One episode will be a reality show. The next show might be a cooking segment. The next might be a workout segment. So it’s just whatever comes into my mind, I write a story around it.” Bisuito added he hopes his comedy and web series will help dispel the misconception that Buffalo isn’t a hotbed for culture and entertainment. “Buffalo has massive talent in this city,” he said. “A lot of famous people come from Buffalo. We have a lot of professional theaters. But through the power of the Internet, it really doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t mean that people from Australia can’t watch the show.” n For more information or Peter Bisuito and “Exposing Peter,” visit www.mybigfunnypeter.com.

Suzi Nash

H.D. Ivey: Using art to deconstruct nuclear destruction At first glance, the artwork of H.D. Ivey appears to be colorful and playfully whimsical — which it is — but a closer inspection shows a depth and seriousness to the work not seen from afar. An activist and artist, Ivey has been involved in fighting the good fight since his early days with ACT UP and the anti-war movement. His artwork has been showcased in both solo and group exhibitions in Philadelphia, New York City and Texas, including the group show “Witness: 30 Artists Respond to 30 Years of the AIDS Pandemic,” curated by activist and former Portrait subject David Acosta. The two have united once again to present an upcoming exhibit of Ivey’s work. Titled “M.A.D.,” the exhibit will feature a wide variety of his work, most of it never seen in public before, at the Crane Arts Gallery. The opening reception is July 9 and the exhibit runs through July 31. The exhibit is being presented in collaboration with Casa De Duende and the Physicians for Social Responsibility and marks the 70th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A special event on July 20, “Where are We Now?” features renowned nuclear-weapons expert Dr. Ira Helfand. PGN: Tell me a little about H.D. Ivey. HI: I was born in Texas — West Texas — and I have a twin, so we were both born there. I spent the first 10 years of my life there. I was born in January 1949 and in August of that year, the Soviets successfully exploded their first atomic bomb, so I’m part of that first generation of people who grew up under the threat of nuclear weapons. When I was about 6, my father actually built a fall-out shelter in our backyard. They told us that it was a tornado shelter and, because we lived right in Tornado Alley, it was plausible, but I learned later it that was a bomb shelter. That was in the early ’50s and the country was going crazy over fear of Russia and the bomb. PGN: They just did a retro segment on “CBS Sunday Morning” showing the old “Stop, drop and cover” ads showing kids how to hide under their desks in case of nuclear attack. HI: Yes, duck and cover. We had to do that. PGN: What’s an interesting fact about the family? HI: Hmmm, not sure what to say. My twin sister, Cheryl, still lives in Texas. I don’t have any children of my own but my sister had two children and I have great-nieces and great-nephews. My niece served in the Iraq War and did three tours of duty there. Her husband did four and her stepson did five. They’ve all suffered from PTSD. When she came back, her husband was really off the deep end and then her son

came back from Afghanistan and was having a difficult time as well. We thought she was doing OK, but that summer she committed suicide. It’s been tough for everyone. The good that came out of it is that it’s brought the family together and I think we’re closer now than we’ve ever been. PGN: What’s a trait that you share with your twin and what’s the biggest difference? HI: Well, she’s not artistic at all, so we don’t share that. What we do share is a similar sense of humor. We like to joke around and tease each other. We talk a few times a week. PGN: If I punch you, will she feel it? HI: [Laughs] No, no. But I think there is a kind of twin communication that we’ve always had. We can look at each other and know what the other is thinking without having to verbalize it. But we haven’t had any psychic events yet! If I want to know how she’s feeling, I still have to give her a call. PGN: How would you describe little H.D.? HI: I was sort of the brainy kid. I was put in special programs for gifted students all through school — advanced math and physics, etc. My sister was the more social one so it was a nice balance. PGN: Was she the first person you told when you came out? HI: Uh, no. That was a hard one. She might have known; I think the whole family knew I was gay before I did. But things were different back then, especially in Texas where such things weren’t talked about. Texas still has a bad rap because of the politicians there, but the people have actually come a long way. I’m grateful for that fact. PGN: What did the folks do? HI: It was Texas — they both worked for oil companies. When I was 10, we moved to South Texas and my mother started working for a wildcatter, someone who goes out and looks for oil. So we grew up in the oil patch. PGN: When did you first leave home? HI: Probably when I went to college, but my grandparents had 12 kids (one died in childbirth) so I had a large extended family, lots of uncles, aunts and cousins, so we spent a lot of time traveling and staying with each other’s families. PGN: Where did you go to school? HI: I went to the University of Texas for both undergrad and grad school. PGN: How did you become involved in activism?

HI: I’ve always been an activist artist since I was very young because of my mother. She’d bring home painting sets and we’d sit and paint. It was nice because the gifted classes I was taking were all very structured and regimented, but in art I got a chance to do what I wanted to do and it was very freeing. It’s interesting because my artwork now is fused with all the things I learned in my childhood: science, math, physics, it’s all in there. I became interested in politics when I was 15. It was 1964 and my family got transferred to Baton Rouge, La., because my father was working on the big intercontinental pipeline that went from South Texas all the way to Philadelphia. Because we were academically advanced, they put my sister and me in high school. It so happened that it was the first year that the courts ordered the schools to start enforcing Brown v. the Board of Education at Istrouma High. The day the school started integration, it was sealed off by federal marshals and it was very tense. I believe there were

in politics. When I went back to Texas, I got involved with the Republican Party because, believe it or not, back in the ’60s, the Democratic Party in the South was pro-segregation. It was the Republican Party that believed in integration. Of course now, thanks to Nixon, it’s totally flipped. The Vietnam War then drove me from the Republican Party completely. PGN: What were the major influences on your artwork? HI: There was a lesbian woman named Ernestine Viola Glossbrenner who taught advanced mathematics, physics and chemistry. She was my mentor from the time I was 13. She went on to be a state legislator. During my high-school years, both of my parents became alcoholics and she was a lifeline. We became very close and she got me interested in politics. I also got hurt and wasn’t able to play football, so I joined the debate team. My first topic was nuclear proliferation and it sparked my interest in the subject matter. The third big influence was my mother. We lived on the Texas/Mexican border and my mother liked to collect folk art; a lot of that is incorporated in what I do. It’s amazing when you look back at your art and you can see your whole life woven into the pieces. PGN: You played football? HI: Yes, since I was very young, mostly guard and linebacker. PGN: Linebacker? You look like you should have been a receiver! HI: I was tall and lanky but I wasn’t fast enough to be a receiver. I was good at long-distance running, though.

PGN: The first piece I saw of yours was from the “Witness: 30 Artists Respond to 30 Years of the AIDS Pandemic” exhibit. HI: When I first came to Philadelphia, I’d just gotPhoto: Suzi Nash ten a divorce. I’d been four African-American students, young married for several years women who were integrating the school, and there were some really shocking things and it wasn’t until I got married that I really recognized myself as a gay man. that happened. I remember one occasion When I was younger I’d dated both sexes. when two of the girls were walking down [Laughs] I thought everybody did that but the hallway and someone started yelling just lied about it! But it turned out I wasn’t words I don’t want to repeat. All the white bisexual. I met David Acosta here and got kids moved to one side of the hallway involved in ACT UP. I had and lost a lot of and were cursing and spitting at them as friends who were HIV-positive and it was they walked to class. I was moved by the terrible the way they were treated. When I courage that was shown by these young look back at my art women and it spurred me to get interested PAGE 38

DINING PGNOUT

Izakaya: Keeping it fresh in Atlantic City By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Izakaya, in the Borgata in Atlantic City, gives diners their money’s worth and a belly full of excitement — whether they are international high-rolling sharks or considerably smaller modest-living fish. The stylish, modern Japanese restaurant and bar does a great job of being both a sushi bar and Japanese-inspired grill. As a bonus, they have a special Monday-night menu with $7 small plates like fish tacos and tuna tartare. You can also snag yourself a stamp for free entry to club Mur Mur if you spend more than $20 on Monday. But most of us will walk out of Izakaya too full of food (OK … and sake as well) to dance because there are so many dishes, small and otherwise, to tempt you. The edamame dumplings ($10) are not to be missed, bathed in a broth of sweet sake and shallots with a seductively warm and silken texture waiting for you inside. The sushi menu sets itself apart from most other sushi restaurants with the apparent freshness of the fish, which has a flavor and feel that says “plucked today from the ocean” instead of “thank goodness for iced shipping containers.” Izakaya also goes the extra mile of perfectly seasoning the rice in its rolls with

soy and a hint of wasabi, saving you the trouble of doing it yourself. The Robatayaki menu features all kinds of vegetables and proteins skewered and expertly grilled. The mushroom skewer ($8) is surprisingly hearty and well-seasoned. The Spanish octopus ($10) is succulent, and the waygu beef ($15) is nothing short of carnivore sex on a stick. The bigger plates have some transcendent moments too. The braised black cod ($32) had a light and crispy feel, and subtle flavors that were complimented by the bed of edamame and pickled plums on which it rested. Izakaya also blows the doors off its dessert offerings. The ricotta beignets ($9) were crispy sweet puffs of pastry dreams come true. But even they paled in comparison to the crispy rice sushi roll ($9), which comes across like the insanely decadent result of a Rice Krispy treat making mad chocolate-peanut-buttery love to a Carvel icecream cake. Yeah, Cookie Puss is freaking dead to us. Nothing less than this dessert sushi will do from now on. Whether you are in the mood for sushi or something a little more refined and fired up, Izakaya has some serious culinary samurai skills in the kitchen to suit your needs. n

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT PGN LISTINGS

Arts groups join forces for residency program By A.D. Amorosi PGN Contributor On July 1-2, the Kimmel Center’s basement boite — the SEI Innovation Studio — opens its doors to a residency program that will have as many (hopefully) daring elements as it does those rooted in the traditions of cabaret and musical theater. Carried out in collaboration with Joe’s Pub — still one of Manhattan’s finest music-centric outlets for emerging and established performance artists with a beyond-Broadway and way-offBroadway bent — the residency features Philadelphia’s Dito Van Reigersberg, Manhattan performer Daniel Alexander Jones with composer Bobby Halvorson, cabaret artist Ethan Lipton and his band, singer-songwriter Jamie Leonhart and Migguel Anggelo collaborating with David Drake and Mau Quiros. Joe’s Pub director Shanta Thake and Kimmel artistic director Jay Wahl will guide the theater and musical storytelling acts through the writing process and composition of five new works. When the residency is finished, the hope is that they’ll yield five fully realized productions, with the eventual goal of Kimmel Center producing them in the next few seasons. “The immediate aim of the Kimmel Theater Residency Program is to guide these artists on a creative journey of self-exploration,” said Wahl of the program, where each artist will write new work and receive peer review before making revisions. “Jamie, Ethan, Dito, Migguel and Daniel are all astounding performers with skills in playwriting, composition, physical theater, comedy, vocals and playing multiple instruments. Each are at key moments in their careers where they are finding their voice and developing new ways to tell stories through song. They have all worked with Joe’s Pub before, and we felt that this group might benefit from a concentrated writing retreat where they can flesh out new ideas without the pressure of polishing a work and facing a critical audience before they’re ready.” That’s easy for Wahl to say, as he’s not on stage. Brooklyn-based, Venezuelan-born theater artist Anggelo — currently on stage at Joe’s Pub with the poetic musical “I, Inmigrante,” directed by Obie Award winner Drake with musical direction by Quiros — considers the Lafayette Street performance salon to be a second home. “Not only is it so fun to play in because it’s cool, intimate and the crowd is so sophisticated, but Shanta and the entire Joe’s Pub team, as well as everyone at The Public Theater, champion difference,” Anggelo said. “You have no idea how inspiring that is for this guy from Venezuela who has a heavy accent, and English is not his first language. To be encouraged to develop and grow in public, even if I don’t fit easily into set categories,

is pretty incredible and rare. I’m grateful.” Anggelo said his journey as a longtime immigrant will be his guiding light while on stage. “Although we deal with very personal themes, they are also quite universal — themes such as national pride, the barriers of language, the walls of stereotype, what it means to belong, the search for home and how love, loss, isolation and community are formed. Everyone, no matter where they are from, can identify with these issues.” His life as a gay man is something his work and world outlook touch upon regularly. Anggelo is not, however, using his moment at the SEI to focus on these “subjects of love and relationships within my theatrical journey. I do have a lot of songs that I have written that are about love and loss, and that show is brewing too.” What Anggelo will be developing at SEI is a brand-new work, “English with Accent,” a piece that has a strong relationship with “I, Inmigrante” — part of his Venezuelan-American continuum — but that stands alone. “I can see bits of ‘I, Inmigrante’ being part of ‘English with Accent,’ which will deepen it, add color and texture to the show and make the themes explored within it even more universal. The new work now, however, lives somewhere between live-music concert and more traditional theater and our goal is to ultimately get even more theatrical with the new work.” Those are the kinks that Anggelo and company work out at SEI starting this week, to say nothing of those concerning the Jones/Halvorson team, Lipton and his band and Leonhart. Then there is home-team favorite Van Reigersberg, who has played Joe’s Pub on several occasions as his draggy alter ego, Martha Graham Cracker. “Joe’s is a remarkable venue, intimate and risk-taking,” Van Reigersberg said. “They incubate a lot of lively, in-your-face cabaret that makes New York still feel like a place for finding live performance that doesn’t feel canned.” Van Reigersberg is still not certain, beyond this workshop, whether or not he is working on the SEI/JP residency as himself or as Martha. He’s leaving both possibilities open, as he will be collaborating with songwriter and “Johnny Showcase” singer Dave Sweeny. “His persona and mine have a history, as we’ve performed together many times, so a Martha/Johnny song cycle is possible. Then again, so is a joint musical about the Wright Brothers, so who knows.” The good thing about a residency such as this for Van Reigersberg is that he can let a lot of things he cares about swirl around in his mind for a heady cocktail — desert island albums, poems he loves, “something as funky as ‘Thriller’ but as delicate as Joni Mitchell’s ‘Blue.’ Anything can happen here.” n

The awkward comedy of manners “The Overnight” has Alex (Adam Scott) and Emily (Taylor Schilling) anxious about having to make new friends in Los Angeles, where they recently moved. When their son RJ (RJ Hermes) befriends Max (Max Moritt) at the playground, Max’s father Kurt (Jason Schwartzman) invites RJ and his parents over for pizza with his wife Charlotte (Judith Godreche). The bond that starts to form between the adult couples quickly mirrors the easygoing friendship between the kids. However, after RJ and Max are put to bed, things become a bit more intense. Alcohol is consumed, bongs are shared and clothes are shed. Then Alex reveals his concerns about inadequacy, and things get even more sexually explicit and intense. Writer/director Patrick Brice met with PGN to talk about his inspiration for the sexual shenanigans that happen during “The Overnight.”

acter is that he has this body issue. I also knew that because the movie takes place in 24 hours, there could only be so much of an emotional arc, or growth or journey for the character in that amount of time. I wanted his thing to be overcoming this small — no pun intended — issue. PGN: The film is about various bad decisions, uncomfortable moments, inappropriate behavior and awkward exchanges. Why did you explore these aspects of human nature? PB: I don’t know. Maybe it’s a reflection of how I deal with this human journey as well. An awkward interaction can feel like life or death in the moment. I wanted to take that roller-coaster model of a crazy journey and make it about human interaction going wrong or right. PGN: What can you say about the morality in the film? PB: It’s a comedy of manners. I think one of the things that’s driving Alex’s and Emily’s characters to stay in the house is their fear of offending Max and Charlotte. How far do you go with that?

PORTRAIT from page 29

from that period, I can see a lot of anger in my work. [Smiles] My art is still probably angry, but the temperature is a little lower! PGN: I can’t imagine what it was like. HI: It was scary, in the early days. There was no AIDS test, no way to find out if you had it or not. You never knew who was going to be sick next … if it was going to be you. If you did come up positive, it was pretty much a death sentence. It was the kind of fear that eats at you. Especially in a culture that at the time really denigrated gay men: We had to fight the religious right and the Republican right, who were both rabid in their condemnations of gay people. We didn’t have the straight allies that we have now. The thing that inspires me the most over the years is how many straight people are out of the closet with their support of their gay friends and family. Of course, it can still be brutal for young kids, especially in rural areas, but overall it’s much better. PGN: I never even considered the ramifications of not even having a way to test for AIDS, never mind treat it. HI: Yes, pretty much the first thing you did when you got up was to check the mirror for Karposi Sarcoma lesions. But by the time you presented with lesions, the AIDS was pretty far advanced and you’d die pretty quickly. Now, thankfully, we have testing and wonderful drugs to extend people’s lives but it’s still difficult. A lot of younger guys think, Oh, I’ll just take a pill and it’ll be all right, but it’s not that easy. I have type-1 diabetes so I know what it’s like to live with a chronic disease. It’s not fun.

PGN: What is “M.A.D.?” HI: It’s a military doctrine that means Mutually Assured Destruction. It basically means that if someone has the military means to attack you, you have the capacity to destroy them. Most people think the “M.A.D.” era ended with the Cold War, but it’s not the case. It’s now called Full Spectrum Dominance and it was refined by the Bush administration. I try to deal with the larger implications; for instance, after the Cold War, America asserted and celebrated that we won, but it’s estimated that we spent $10 trillion on weaponry. That’s $10 trillion that we didn’t invest in our economy or have for rebuilding our schools or dealing with climate change at the start. And that’s only what we paid monetarily; it doesn’t count what we lost in human sacrifice. The nuclear arsenals have been reduced but we still have 20,000 in the world, and all the armaments and systems that go with them are still coasting us trillions of dollars for something we hope never to use. The only good thing about the Cold War was that the United States and Russia had a symbiotic balance. But after the collapse of the Soviet Union, that weaponry has spread and we now have 10 nuclear powers in the world. The more players you get, the more dangerous the game. And some of them are pretty unstable; a minor conflict could set off a major conflagration that would have global effects. It could lower the temperature of the Earth, which would affect agriculture, which could lead to famine. It’s a very dangerous game that I try to expose with my work. There are a lot of people working

behind the scenes — Henry Kissinger, George Schultz, Sen. Sam Nunn — who are aware of and trying to avert the dangers of M.A.D. PGN: You really have to wonder what is wrong with us sometimes. HI: I know. Humans have always been murderous, but with nuclear weapons, we reached a point where we could actually exterminate ourselves. So we’ve grown up in a time that no generation in humanity has lived through before, a time when our moral sensibilities are completely behind our technological abilities. It’s not going to end well until we change the way we understand and control technology. And that goes for a lot of areas of technology. Look at how poorly we’re dealing with climate change. A lot of people make a lot of money by raping and pillaging the Earth with more and more ways to do it, without considering the ecological costs. PGN: You’re a visual person. What image comes to mind when you think of the Cold War era? HI: I’m a sculptor first and an activist in addition to it. I can have the best subject in mind but if I can’t craft an image to express it, then my art doesn’t work. I have a piece called “XX” in the exhibit; it refers to the Fat Man bomb used in Nagasaki. PGN: What drew you to sculpting? HI: Well, my mother made a mistake. She wanted me to be a lawyer but when I was young she gave me a book on Michelangelo. I was immediately drawn to it and at 15 knew I wanted to be a sculptor. It was a fight because when you’re a gifted student, they have certain expectations of

what you should be, and artist didn’t fit in there. In school, I wanted to take woodshop and metal work but I wasn’t allowed to in the gifted track. And now what do I do? [Laughs] Work with wood and metal, all the no-no’s. PGN: I understand that you suffer from dyslexia. Do you think that being dyslexic pushed you to more manual work? HI: I actually think it’s the other way around. I wouldn’t say I suffer from dyslexia; to me, it’s a blessing. Most people rely on verbal dialogue but visual people can think with the sound off. I can turn things around in my head and visualize them in space, which is a real asset to an artist. n “M.A.D.” runs through July 31 at Crane Arts Building, 1400 N.
