New Congress member joins push for LGBT equality By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com
U.S. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon fulfilled the promises she made while campaigning to fight for LGBTQ equality: She recently joined the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus and signed on as a cosponsor of the Equality Act — moves that have local LGBTQ-rights advocates looking to other elected officials to make good on their promises. Scanlon, a Democrat, was sworn into office to represent Pennsylvania’s Seventh Congressional District on Nov. 13, filling the vacancy created by the resignation of Rep. Pat Meehan over a sexual-harassment scandal. Scanlon will be sworn in as the member representing Pennsylvania’s Fifth District on Jan. 3. The change in district is the result of a state Supreme Court ruling requiring Pennsylvania to redraw its congressional map. The new Fifth District, which encompasses Delaware County, is comprised of parts of the former First, Second and Seventh districts. “Now more than ever, allies must stand strong with the community,” Scanlon said in a statement released Dec. 13. “Members of the LGBTQ community deserve the same rights, protections, and opportunities as any other American. While the fight for equality has seen rapid progress in the past decade, we are still a long way from full legal and social equality for LGBTQ people.” Adrian Shanker, executive director of the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center in Allentown, located in the Fifth District, said Scanlon’s push to “fight for [the LGBTQ community] in Washington” is crucial, but that he would like to see “more members of Congress who are from Pennsylvania join the Equality Caucus.” Shanker, who serves as a commissioner on Gov. Tom Wolf’s Pennsylvania Commission on LGBTQ Affairs, questioned whether other candidates who were successful in November’s election will take action in supporting the LGBTQ community. “Pennsylvania needs more representation in the caucus, especially from those who ran on pro-LGBT initiatives during their campaigns,” Shanker said. “It reminds people here in Pennsylvania that we still have work PAGE 14 to do to pass our own

Trenton ‘gayborhood’ finds new lease on life By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com Mill Hill, once considered a drug-ridden, rundown slum in Trenton, N.J., is now an upscale residential neighborhood that’s attracting more artists, big-city professionals and, now, more LGBTQ couples and families to the area. The sixblock neighborhood — about 35 minutes north of Philadelphia — is a burgeoning community “that offers more than meets the eye,” said Gregory Rollins, a recent Mill Hill transplant. Rollins, a content manager for Verizon, moved into his three-story, single-family home on Jackson Street with his partner last August. Within days of moving in, he was greeted by a handful of neighbors who welcomed the couple to the neighborhood, an experience he said he didn’t have while living in his previous home in Princeton, N.J. “I lived in Princeton for seven years and I only knew one of my neighbors. Now, I’m friends with mostly everyone on my block and the adjacent blocks and
I’ve been in more neighbors’ houses than I can count,” Rollins said. “This neighborhood is made up of artists, theater folks, urban professionals, retired people, even young couples who are starting their lives together — you have the whole gamut here. You’ll find a bit of everything in Mill Hill.” Jennifer Williams, who lives across the street from Rollins, has lived in Mill Hill for more than a decade with her wife and son. “Diversity is becoming a strong component of why Mill Hill is flourishing. It’s a welcoming place for anyone looking to build community. There’s always been a steady number of LGBT couples who have lived in the neighborhood, but now we’re seeing more people from the community migrating to Mill Hill,” Williams said. Earlier this year, Trenton elected its first openly gay mayor, W. Reed Gusciora. The Democrat told PGN that currently, the city has no nondiscrimination policies in place to protect LGBT residents PAGE 15 but “we’re working to
When Giulia Umile and her fiancée, Jess, got engaged earlier this fall, Umile knew just the place to hold the wedding. A world traveler, the COO of Slice Communications in Old City said that one particular vacation she took in Mexico stood out “as one of the most beautiful and pleasant vacations of my life — I literally did not want for a single thing. The service was spectacular, the resort is gorgeous and I always thought that if I got married, this would be a phenomenal place to do it.” The Le Blanc Spa Resort is one of 10 AAA Five-Diamond-awarded oceanfront properties belonging to Cancun-based Palace Resorts, regularly featured in celebrity magazines for the sheer volume of famous people who vacation at the resorts, most of which are in Cancun but also in Los Cabos and Jamaica. Ellen DeGeneres has more than once given vacations to her entire studio audience to at least two Palace Resorts.
GIULIA UMILE (LEFT) AND FIANCÉE
So, Umile immediately contacted Le Blanc and filled out the form requesting a sunset wedding ceremony on the beach for Nov. 9, 2019. More than 30 guests would stay at the spa resort for one week, with a price starting at around $800 per night. A destination wedding made sense for Umile, a Fishtown resident. “We’re older, our friends are more established and financially secure — with enough notice, they can come.” The sales coordinator for weddings, Laura Jimenez, responded the same day Umile PAGE 6 contacted Le Blanc, on

Lesbian sues Parx Casino for alleged job discrimination By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com An African-American lesbian sued the Parx Casino earlier this month, claiming that a hostile workplace made it difficult for her to do her job and eventually resulted in her dismissal. “Michelle Doe,” a Philadelphia resident, filed a lawsuit in federal district court Dec. 7. She is seeking more than $150,000 in damages, including lost wages, punitive damages, compensation for pain and suffering and reasonable attorney’s fees. The suit also seeks a court order to require Parx to implement a company-wide LGBT antibias policy. Doe was employed as a dealer at Parx, based in Bensalem, Bucks County, between December 2017 and August 2018. Coworkers allegedly ostracized her throughout her employment. “[Doe] recalls that frequently during lunch and on breaks, throughout [Doe’s] employment, [Doe] would sit at a table isolated as nobody would join [Doe’s] table,” the lawsuit states. Moreover, coworkers would refer to her in derogatory terms, including, “bitch,” “sir” and “baby.” One coworker told Doe she was “dirty” and had a “bald head,” according to the lawsuit. Doe reported her concerns about working in a hostile environment to management. However, the mistreatment continued. Andrew J. Kramer, an attorney for Parx, declined to comment. “I have checked with my client and since this case is in litigation they have no comment on the matter,” Kramer wrote in a Dec. 13 email. Doe contends that on one occasion, she
attempted to address the hostile environment at a staff meeting, but that a supervisor prevented her from speaking. “When presented with an opportunity to have shown a commitment to non-discrimination, to have allowed [Doe] to address her co-employees together in a safe space in the way [Doe] felt comfortable, and to potentially resolve the issues of anti-gay or lesbian harassment by her co-employees, instead, [a supervisor] shut [Doe] down, and the hostile environment continued.” “The harassment was severe or pervasive enough to alter the conditions of [Doe’s] work environment, and make it more difficult to do the job. [Parx] failed to provide prompt and appropriate action to prevent, correct, and remedy the hostile environment.” On Aug. 12, Doe’s employment was suspended after she complained to management about a “negative interaction” with a patron. Details regarding the interaction aren’t included in the lawsuit. On Aug. 13, Doe’s employment was terminated. Parx “used a negative interaction with a customer as a pretext to terminate [Doe’s] employment, and the real reason for [Doe’s] termination was [Doe’s] sexual orientation (lesbian), and/or others’ negative reactions to [Doe] being openly lesbian,” the lawsuit alleges. “A motivating factor in [Doe’s] discharge was the fact that [Doe’s] co-employees reacted poorly to [Doe] being openly lesbian.” The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Joel H. Slomsky in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. A jury trial composed of eight jurors has been requested. Justin F. Robinette, an attorney for Doe, also declined to comment. n

School district incurs $2 million in legal expenses in bullying cases By Timothy Cwiek tiimothy@epgn.com The School District of Philadelphia has incurred more than $2 million in legal expenses defending against lawsuits filed by two students who claim they experienced unlawful student-on-student bullying because of their perceived gender nonconformity. In April 2014, the mother of a male student identified as “N.B.� filed suit in Common Pleas Court, claiming the district was liable for unlawful bullying sustained by her son. According to court records, N.B. was raped by a classmate at the William C. Bryant Elementary School in West Philadelphia in October 2011. Prior to being raped, N.B. had been subjected to pervasive bullying by classmates who perceived him to be gender-nonconforming. N.B.’s mother promptly withdrew N.B. from the school after he told her about the rape. But she missed a deadline for filing a complaint with the state Human Relations Commission by more than a year. District officials are seeking dismissal of the case, citing the missed deadline, according to court records. In April 2015, A.W. filed suit against the district, claiming pervasive bullying at various schools due to her perceived gender nonconformity. In May, Common Pleas Judge Gene D. Cohen sided with A.W. and awarded her $500,000 in damages, to be paid by the district. The judge also awarded A.W. $578,000 in legal fees, to be paid by the district, according to court records. The A.W. and N.B. lawsuits allege violations of the state Human Relations Act on the part of district officials. But district officials contend the act doesn’t cover student-on-student bullying. Both cases are pending in Commonwealth Court, where that issue is expected to be addressed,
according to court records. In the A.W. case, two outside law firms retained by the district to handle the case submitted bills to the district totaling $405,823.54. The Fineman Krekstein law firm billed the district $366,624.61. The Schnader Harrison law firm billed the district $39,198.93. In the N.B. case, six outside law firms retained by the district to handle the case submitted bills to the district totaling $801,688.80. The Archer Greiner law firm billed the district $186,909.24; the Fineman Krekstein law firm billed $448,444.46; the Kolber Randazzo law firm billed $95,505.84; the Wilson Elser Moskovitz law firm billed $25,683.26; the Schnader Harrison law firm billed $40,000; and the Ahmed Zaffarese law firm billed $5,146. PGN obtained the billing information from the school district on Dec. 6, after filing a state Right-to-Know Law request. Lee Whack, a spokesman for the school district, declined to comment on the pending litigation. David J. Berney, an attorney for N.B. and A.W., blasted the school district in a Dec. 6 email to PGN. “The district originally failed N.B. and [A.W.] by allowing them to be the victims of sexual assault, bullying and harassment,� Berney wrote. “How much more money is the district going to spend to battle for a court decision that permits the district and its staff to ignore children who are victimized at school? Does that make sense? How many teacher salaries could they pay with the money they are spending on legal fees? How many school supplies could they purchase? “The district’s litigation strategy is reckless, irresponsible and a total abdication of its duty to do what is right by the children who grace their schools.� n

LGBTQ holiday giving guide By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com This year has been a taxing one for the LGBTQ community. In 2018, the nation has seen the Trump administration’s unwavering attack on the transgender community, a halt in research methods that could delay finding a cure for HIV and the appointment to the Supreme Court of an anti-LGBT justice. But here in Philadelphia, great things are happening. As we bid farewell to the final days of 2018 and embrace the holiday season and the spirit of giving, we bring you a list of worthy local nonprofit organizations that do the hard work behind the scenes of promoting LGBTQ equality and providing an array of services to vulnerable people. Join in and help these pioneering organizations doing forward-thinking work. It’s how society writ large moves forward, and most donations are tax deductible to boot. How’s that for a sell? William Way LGBT Community Center 1315 Spruce St. (215)-732-2220 William Way LGBT Community Center is open 365 days a year to serve the entire LGBTQ community and its allies. Its services include health and wellness programs supporting LGBT seniors, LGBT refugees, trans individuals and peer counseling for all. The center also offers arts and culture, with one of the largest LGBT archives in the country as well as its 14,000-plus book-lending library. The center has an art gallery and hosts book readings, cabaret and jazz performances. There are rental spaces available for events such as commitment ceremonies, birthday parties or private occasions as well as meeting facilities for groups to organize. The center also offers dozens of programs that occur weekly (including tai chi, yoga, meditation and writers’ groups). To make a donation to William Way LGBT Community Center, stop by the center or visit www.waygay.org/donate1/ The Attic Youth Center 255 S. 16 St. (215)-545-4331 The Attic Youth Center is the only organization in Philadelphia that exclusively provides services and programs to LGBTQ young people ages 14-23. The Attic’s goal is to reduce the isolation felt by LGBTQ youth by offering programs to counteract the prejudice and oppression that those members of the LGBTQ community face. All Attic programming is based on youth development with the goal of teaching life skills and providing education that to create and encourage future leaders. Contributions to the center help finance free services for young people including mental-health counseling, summer-internship opportunities and social activities. Donations also
allow the center’s Bryson Institute to continue to thrive. The institute offers interactive training sessions that educate the wider community on best practices for working with LGBTQ individuals. The Attic is currently in need of donations for its Winter Clothing Drive. Items needed include: new (or gently used) coats, hats, scarves, socks and gloves. All donations should be adult-sized and can be dropped off at The Attic. Deadline for donations is Dec. 21. To make a donation to the The Attic, visit www.atticyouthcenter.org/donate-now COLOURS Organization 1211 Chestnut St., Suite 910 (215)-832-0100 COLOURS is a health-services organization specifically catering to LGBTQ people of color in the Greater Philadelphia region. The organization, which began by publishing a social-justice magazine in 1991 to discuss issues of importance for black LGBT people, now provides an array of culturally sensitive health and human services for black lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals. COLOURS’ programs include rapid HIV testing, STI screenings, support groups, sexual-health counseling, access to PrEP and wellness-navigation services for men of color who have sex with men who are at high risk for acquiring HIV. The organization also participates in community outreach events, providing low-income neighborhoods in the city with free HIV/ STI testing and educational resources on HIV/AIDS prevention-methods. COLOURS is currently collecting donations for hygiene products such as deodorant, toothpaste, razors, cologne, perfume, soap and hand sanitizer for community members in need. Donations must be delivered to the COLOURS office. For more information, contact Jauraz Crosby at jcrosby@coloursorganization.org. To donate to COLOURS Organization, visit www.coloursorganization.org/donate/ GALAEI 149 W. Susquehanna Ave. (267)-457-3912 The queer, Latinx social-justice organization provides HIV prevention and treatment to the Latinx community in Philadelphia. GALAEI works to educate people of color about sexual health along with teaching underrepresented communities the skills needed for advocacy and grassroots-organizing work. Through Project YEAH, the organization supports the empowerment and leadership development of queer youth of color through individual coaching, group support and community engagement. GALAEI’s Trans Equity Project offers peerbased supportive services for and operated by trans individuals to address and create solutions to the challenges faced by the trans community. The Trans Equity Project
created the Philly Trans March, which began in 2010 to memorialize and highlight trans POCs who have lost their lives. GALAEI recently started its “30 for 30” campaign in honor of the organization’s upcoming 30th anniversary.

Creep of the Week
D’Anne Witkowski

Editorial
When money talks In journalism school, students learn that there are two sides to every story. But the real question is, are there two equal sides? This week, we tell the story of a local couple who fell in love and decided to celebrate their union by inviting their friends and family to a destination wedding at a spectacular beachfront resort in Cancun. Same-sex marriage is legal in Quintana Roo, but Palace Resorts, which essentially runs an empire of upscale hotels mostly in Cancun, seems to have a policy against same-sex marriage. We can’t say for sure, because the public-relations team refused to comment, but PGN reporting indicates that while the resort accepts the money of vacationing same-sex couples, it will not facilitate their marriages. When considering both sides of a story, it’s important to begin with the facts: A federal antidiscrimination law exists in Mexico. As an added layer of protection, Quintana Roo protects same-sex visitors who wish to marry from discrimination. Thus, if a resort chooses to discriminate despite laws recognizing the full humanity of same-sex couples, are there really two equal sides to this story? One side is violating the laws of the land, while the other is a couple in love looking to formalize their union. The Palace Resorts brass cares enough about its brand to have gifted the entire audience of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” at least twice with fully paid vacations to its properties. We wonder whether Ellen is aware that Palace refuses to perform same-sex marriages. As bride-to-be Giulia Umile pointed out, the resort has a choice to deny samesex marriages. “But we as consumers have the same choice. And yes, it’s a beautiful resort, and yes, they have a lot to offer, but there are plenty of other places to go. If supporting human rights or marriage equality is something people generally try to support, then maybe they’ll funnel their money someplace else.” Well said. n

You know, even though our country seems more divided than ever before, at least we can count on our elected leaders to respect the system of government that we’ve created and have been trying to get right for 240-some years. Key word is “trying” here. The United States actually has a super-ambitious system of governance that is based on admirable ideals. Unfortunately, we have yet to really live up to those ideals. There’s a lot of work to do! Thankfully, elected leaders, regardless of party, care deeply about democracy. LOL. Just kidding — Republicans DGAF and they are the worst. Oh, was that hyper-partisan? TFB. While there are examples of Republicans trashing the will of the people across the country, a good example of their disregard for what voters want is happening in Michigan where Democrats — all women — won all three top races for the first time in 28 years and will be replacing the Republicans currently in office. Gretchen Whitmer will be Michigan’s next governor. Dana Nessel will be Michigan’s next attorney general. Jocelyn Benson will be the next secretary of state. And Republicans, who will retain control of both the state House and Senate, are losing their minds, acting like Michigan’s psychotic ex-boyfriend complete with a dangerous “if we can’t have her, no one will” mindset. And so Michigan Republicans are rushing through bills that would weaken the powers of Whitmer, Nessel and Benson before they ever take office. The GOP is also gutting bills on minimum wage and paid sick leave they passed (and they only passed them to keep those issues off the November ballot) and attempting to gut the anti-gerrymandering and pro-voting ballot measures that passed with wide margins. According to The Atlantic, “These fights capture the virtual collapse, especially in the Republican Party, of the informal constraints that established boundaries in political combat.” In other words, Republicans are on a rampage to get what they want at any cost, even at the expense of governance itself. “It’s a slap in the face to the voters,” state Rep. Christine Greig, a Democrat, told The Daily Beast. “We had record turnout in the election. People were taking their government back, and they were so proud of it.” But Republicans apparently forgot that the government belongs to the people of Michigan, not to them. And speaking of proud, Nessel is the
first out-andproud lesbian to hold statewide office in Michigan. Republicans are seeking to override the Attorney General’s office should Nessel decide not to defend some of the GOP’s most shameful policies, including a law that allows religious-adoption agencies to discriminate against same-sex couples. It was, in fact, Nessel who took on the anti-gay marriage and adoption ban in Michigan — a ban that the current attorney general, Bill Schuette (who ran for governor and lost to Whitmer), spent thousands and thousands of dollars defending. The case was eventually combined with other similar cases across the country and ended up at the Supreme Court where same-sex couples finally won the right to marry. Nessel is also against things that Republicans love, like pollution, and for things Republicans hate, like civil rights. We are in the midst of what is known as the “lame-duck” period, where the people who were elected wait to take office while those about to leave office have a small window of time to get last-minute things done, and Republicans are choosing to trash the place on their way out the door. As Michael Tomasky writes for the Daily Beast, “Lame-duck legislatures ... do not exist to invalidate choices the voters just made. That isn’t democracy. That’s anti-democracy.” Of course, one need only look at the pathological liar and tweeting man-baby currently in the White House to see how much Republicans respect democratic norms. Will Gov. Rick Snyder sign these bills when they come across his desk? I don’t know, but we’re talking about a man who oversaw the poisoning of an entire predominantly black city and suffered no real consequences, so he’s not exactly someone I trust to do the right thing. Have Democrats ever done unseemly things during lame duck? Yes. But the dismantling of norms and disregard for democracy is being accelerated by Republicans at all levels of government. America needs to leave the Republicans for good and get a restraining order while we’re at it. n D’Anne Witkowski is a poet, writer and comedian living in Michigan with her wife and son.

Our beloved dog Jason and I have a little French bulldog named Zola. She just had her 1st birthday. And, as should be expected, Jason and I are proud papas. She’s a lovable puppy full of playful energy. Every night, no matter what has happened during the day, she gets our fullest attention. We find delight in almost everything she does and we find her so adorable to the point that we take pictures of her each night and send them to each other… even though we are sitting across the room from each other.

But all puppies have a favorite, and for Zola, it’s Jason. He’s the loving, nurturing one. I’m the one attempting to train her… the disciplinarian. She and Jason are amazing together and she has him wrapped around her little paw. To see the way she just looks at him adoringly is a pure delight. So, when she does something that she shouldn’t — like chew on a shoe or nibble on furniture — Jason sometimes finds it cute, while I try to explain that he should correct her. Well, at

that point, Jason gets annoyed at me! And, when I then look at Zola, she has a look on her face like she’s thinking, “ha ha, got you.” Imagine her surprise when Jason had to go off to take care of his father for the holiday, and she’s left home alone with me. Somehow, I feel like this is going to be another sequel to the movie, “Home Alone.” I’ve stocked up on treats and puppy toys, but I think she’ll find delight in just being her stubborn, lovable self. n Mark Segal, PGN publisher, is the nation’s mostaward-winning commentator in LGBT media.

New Year’s resolution: Time for the LGBTQ community to quit the tobacco industry “Whenever someone yells, ‘Dude, that’s so gay,’ we’ll be there.” “Freedom. to speak. to choose. to marry. to participate. to be. to disagree. to inhale. to believe. to love. to live. it’s all good.” At first glance, these slogans seem to be from an LGBTQ organization or activist group. They seem to promote wellness, equality and safety for the queer community. They leave the reader wondering which organization offers these promises. The truth is, these lines are copy from Lucky Strike and American Spirit cigarette print advertisements, the former of which ran in 2001 and the latter in 2005. These are just two examples of how the tobacco industry has targeted the LGBTQ community over the past 30 years. We’ve all seen PSAs depicting “Big Tobacco” as the bad guy, and probably have no problem understanding how profit can motivate sales of an ethically dubious product. Perhaps fewer of us have thought about how we have been directly affected as the subjects of these targeted marketing campaigns. Statistically, one in four LGBTQ adults smokes compared with one in six straight adults. An estimated 30,000 LGBTQ people die of smoking-related causes in the
Transmissions
U.S. every year. The tobacco industry’s efforts to target the LGBTQ community are working, and they continue to invest in attracting our youth to their products. In the 1990s, the tobacco industry launched Project SCUM (Subculture Urban Marketing) specifically to target the homeless and gay populations of San Francisco. They sought to capitalize on the stress and perceived vulnerability of our community. As a result, the number of smokers in the queer community skyrocketed, and today people are more likely to die of smoking-related illnesses than car crashes, drugs, guns, and HIV. Back in June, I had the opportunity to testify in front of Philadelphia’s City Council against proposed Bill 180522, which would have repealed established protections against tobacco marketing. Just last week, City Council voted to uphold the protections and prevent more tobacco marketing to reach into our communities. We know LGBTQ youth smoke at higher rates and are targeted by tobacco companies. Protections like these help limit the influence of marketing on our next generation. The LGBTQ community is resilient, diverse and strong. We can stand up to
the influence of the tobacco industry by pushing back on their reach into our most vulnerable communities. We can help each other break free of addiction by sharing the free Quit Line, 1-800-Quit-Now, for access to free counseling, and tools like patches, gum and medication. Just being in the Gayborhood, we see the influence of tobacco products in the LGBTQ community. For too long, we’ve allowed these corporate entities to dictate our health. It’s time we follow in the footsteps of cities like San Francisco, Las Vegas and even our neighbor New Hope, and make our Pride festivals smoke free. Next time you see an advertisement for cigarettes or tobacco products, remember the billions of dollars invested into getting you interested, addicted and dependent on something that kills 30,000 members of our community every year. We are stronger than an industry that sees our health as expendable and our youth as future addicts. n William Way’s Wellness Coordinator Arielle Catron develops smoking cessation, anti-violence and stressreduction programs for the center.

A holiday wish So, once again, we reach the closing of the year. When I was much younger than I am today, as the scent of the Douglas fir my father set up in the front room would waft through the house and the glow of holiday lights would produce a diffused glow of color against the window blinds on my bedroom, I would find myself making my holiday wish list. I’d hand my list to my parents, secured in an envelope so they could send it in the mail to Santa on my behalf. Later, after the
ruse was revealed, I would just offer my list to them. Even in those years when I might have snuck in a wish for a more feminine doll or toy, I still avoid asking for my dearest wish on my wish list. It was the same thing I prayed for every night, lowering my voice to barely a whisper. As I held my hands clasped before going to sleep, the same thing would come to mind any time I PAGE 14 would wish upon the first star I’d happen to
Street Talk What would be a good holiday present for you? “A trip to Paris, with a really good bottle of wine at the other end waiting for me. Paris is so romantic. There’s beauty and Jennifer Childs kindness at artistic director every turn. South Philadelphia It’s been such a long year. To be someplace beautiful would really lift my spirits.” "A gift certificate to a spa. Being an attorney is very stressful.

I Jen McGinn support fem- dance artist Gayborhood inism. The book seems to promote the concept of feminism for all. In other words, everyone can be a feminist.

extension of laws here in the state through the passage of the Fairness Act.” Scanlon said in the statement that she is strongly committed to fighting “for the passage of the Equality Act” as a co-sponsor. The Equality Act, which was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2015, amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity in regard to employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces and services, federally funded programs and jury service. Alexander Olson, co-chair of Philadelphia’s Liberty City LGBT Democratic Club, said Scanlon’s move to join the caucus is “an example of a candidate that’s following through with the initiatives and platforms that they talked about before the election. I’m looking for more
elected officials who have made similar promises to the community to align their actions with their words.” Along with Scanlon, the caucus currently has 115 members (113 Democrats and two Republicans) who serve as a resource for Congress at large, their staff and the public on LGBT issues at the federal level. The mission of the caucus is to “work toward the extension of equal rights, the repeal of discriminatory laws, the elimination of hate-motivated violence and the improved health and well-being for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity and expression.” David Stacy, director of governmental affairs at the Human Rights Campaign, told PGN that Scanlon will be an “important addition” to the Equality Caucus. “HRC was proud to help elect Scanlon in her bid to represent the people of Pennsylvania’s Fifth
PGN
Congressional District. From her efforts to support marriage equality to her work helping to make workplaces more trans-inclusive, she has long been a champion of equality in Pennsylvania and across the country,” Stacy said. Scanlon also joined the Transgender Equality Task Force within the Equality Caucus. The task force’s key priorities include public safety and eliminating violence against the trans community, as well as healthcare access, addressing inequality and school environments for trans students. “I have been proud to represent transgender litigants fighting for civil rights and I will continue this fight in Congress,” Scanlon said. “To my transgender constituents, I want you to know: We see you, we value you, and we will fight for your rights in Congress.” n

spot at dusk. A simple wish, nothing more than a trifle to an omnipotent presence no matter whether he wore flowing robes in heaven or a fur-lined suit at the North Pole: I wished that I could be a girl. My parents, who weren’t exactly rich, did provide me with a decent haul for each Christmas, but I never woke up on Christmas morning with a new gender under the tree. When I was eight or so years old, I decided that it was foolish to keep wishing it, as no jolly old soul was going to drop that down the chimney. It would be 16 more years later, after years of denial and pain — and even the occasional glimmer of fleeting hope — that I would decide that this was something I could approach. I would simply have to serve as my own jolly elf of sorts, discovering my own path forward. In the course of this journey, I lost a few things. Some of my birth family decided to not be part of my life. Financial security became a fleeting thing. Some things have proven to be more difficult than others, and harder than they might have been if I hadn’t needed to transition. Nevertheless, my wish was granted. Today, this may be easier. There are a lot more resources available, and they are easier to find. When I was wishing as a child, I had only the slightest inkling that this was even possible, fed by what little was said in the media at the time. Even when I did start transition, there was no internet to find the steps forward. I assure you that I had to walk uphill both ways to transition, and today you have the great and good opportunity to
not go through all that I did. The holidays can be hard times for those of us who are transgender. We may have to spend time with family who are less than supportive, hiding ourselves from them to remain safe and well. We may have been cast out by family and friends, too, and feeling lost, cold and alone during this time that is sold to us as “the most wonderful time of the year.” It can be hard to hold onto hope in the middle of all this, and you may feel that there is little recourse. No sleigh is on its way, ready to deliver a box containing your deepest desires. There is so much mythology around the season, and so many expectations of a warm, happy holiday with family and friends. Even under the best of circumstances, most family gatherings this time of year won’t measure up to the images fed to us in the sentimental tales that make their way to big and small screens this time of year. When you add in being transgender, these experiences become just a bit further out of reach. So, this is my gift to you this holiday season : I wish to offer you a moment of hope. As you read this, should you too be under this grand umbrella of transgender identities, no matter how you opt to define it, I want to assure you that your dreams are achievable. You hold the power and the magic to form your needs into your reality, should you just wish it. n Gwen Smith wishes you the happiest of holidays, no matter what path you follow.

Tackling health disparities among LGBT elders The human body experiences many changes as it ages. The immune system weakens, chronic illnesses can develop and the body takes longer to recover from illness or injury. Yet it can be hard to talk about these changes, especially if we don’t have safe places to discuss our health with providers who are knowledgeable and sensitive to the unique needs of LGBT people. The medical community has tremendous knowledge and resources at its disposal to detect and effectively treat many of the health issues that impact older adults. Unfortunately, barriers still exist that can prevent LGBT elders from fully accessing these resources. In AARP’s 2018 study, “Maintaining Dignity: Understanding and Responding to the Challenges Facing Older Americans,” 52 percent of LGBT older adults expressed concerns that discrimination or prejudice would David negatively impact the quality of medical care they would receive. Additionally, 57 percent of the LGBT respondents worried that healthcare providers would not be sensitive to their needs as LGBT patients. Facing discrimination or an inhospitable environment is never comfortable and can perpetuate many of the health disparities that already impact LGBT communities. Experiencing discrimination in healthcare settings can lead individuals to delay seeking important medical care for fear of how they will be treated. Delaying care can cause many health issues to worsen or go undetected, in many cases making medical interven-
tions less effective. This is particularly significant given that LGBT older adults have higher rates of several physical and mental health issues that would benefit from medical treatment. Medical research has shown that LGBT older adults experience high rates of disability, obesity and HIV, which may put them at risk for other chronic illnesses and even premature death. One national health study from 2011 also revealed that 31 percent of respondents in the LGBT community met the clinical diagnosis for depression and 39 percent had seriously thought about suicide at some point in their lives. The roots of these health disparities are often complex and don’t come with a simple fix. The LGBT elder population faces higher rates of poverty, housing instability and experiences Griffith with discrimination, all of which contribute to physical and mental health. Still, the negative effects of many health issues can be reduced through routine medical care. Additionally, doctors and healthcare professionals also can help individuals to make lifestyle changes that will improve their physical and emotional health, such as exercising more, staying socially connected and eating better. However, getting these benefits from the medical community requires that LGBT people have access to healthcare resources that are safe, affirming and LGBTinclusive. While further training is needed in the medical field to improve the LGBT cultural competence of health-

be an inclusive place to live.” Gusciora said that Mill Hill has been a thriving Trenton Gayborhood since the 1970s and other surrounding neighborhoods such as Hiltonia and Chambersburg are becoming more LGBTQ-friendly. Craig Shofed, another Mill Hill resident, said the diverse backgrounds of his neighbors is the reason why he and his wife have stayed in the neighborhood for the last 13 years. “We have people from all different walks of life cohabiting in a city that most people have characterized as too dangerous and not fit to live in. That’s far from the truth,” Shofed said. Shofed said his eclectic mix of neighbors who come from a range of professions, identities and lived experiences is what makes the neighborhood “an appealing place to live.” Rollins added that one of the reasons he was attracted to Mill Hill was because of its historic legacy. The Mill Hill Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places — the government’s official list of districts, sites, buildings or structures deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance. The downtown Trenton neighborhood is home to the Assunpink Creek where the Second Battle of Trenton was fought in 1777 during the American Revolutionary War. General George Washington defeated British troops who were looking to cross the bridge over the Assunpink Creek. Washington’s success helped to control
British movement across central New Jersey and was considered the turning point of the war. The battle — fought at what is now Mill Hill Park — is reenacted every year during Patriot’s Week in Trenton (observed this year on Dec. 26-31). The homes in Mill Hill, which were fashioned after Georgetown in Washington D.C., come at an affordable price compared to homes that are similar in neighboring cities such as Philadelphia or New York, Rollins said. “If you have a two-income household with no children, like me and my partner, finding homes for these prices are a steal,” he said. Houses that are currently for sale in Mill Hill can range anywhere between $140,000$250,000 for three-bedroom, two-bath homes with roughly 1,800-square feet of space. These homes are relatively inexpensive compared to the single-family homes with similar designs and square footage found in historic areas in the city such as Old City — where homes are priced as high as $795,000 for the same amount of space and number of bedrooms. Residents of Mill Hill are looking to continue to build on the revitalization of Trenton that has been in development since the late 1980s. In 2016, USA Today listed Trenton as one of the worst cities to live in based on quality of life. The city was reported to have a 27.8 percent poverty rate and had more than 1,300 violent crimes for every 100,000 residents, a crime rate that exceeds more than five times the crime rate of all of New Jersey. Gusciora noted that the city is has seen a
care providers, additional supports also are needed in the community to help LGBT people connect with current resources and services that are LGBT-friendly. To help bridge these gaps in access to knowledge and care, the LGBT Elder Initiative launched a new partnership in 2018 with the Jefferson Center for Urban Health and the Jefferson Department of Family and Community Medicine, creating a free program series called “The Doctor Is In” to educate LGBT older adults about critical health issues. Through this programming, Jefferson geriatricians have delivered monthly health presentations to audiences of LGBT older adults on topics including fall prevention, cancer screenings, advance-care planning, stroke prevention, dementia and mental health. As we move into 2019, we’ll examine issues including palliative care, sexual health, pain management and cardiovascular disease. We’ll start our 2019 programming by talking about bone health, including issues of osteoporosis and bone-density loss. Jefferson doctors will discuss the risk factors and preventative measures for bone disease and share tips for improving bone health. “The Doctor Is In — Healthy Bones” will be held 2-3 p.m. Jan. 16 at William Way Community Center. To register for this program or inquire about any upcoming programs, contact the LGBT Elder Initiative at 215-720-9415 or info@lgbtei.org. n David Griffith is director of programs and outreach for the LGBT Elder Initiative.

“greater interest in the development of the city from people wanting to come and take a chance on the city.” He said there’s been a decrease in the crime rate within the last year and more job opportunities are on the horizon. “The old steel mill and the Roebling Wire Works factory— both of which have been abandoned since the ’60s — are being looked into being renovated to provide an estimated 200 jobs for our residents in 2-3 years,” he said. “Neighbors who’ve been living here for a long time have said that there used to be crack sales right in the middle of my street 20 years ago,” Rollins said. “Now, we’re
turning the area around, planting new trees and bringing new life to these streets that many people still see as dangerous and poverty-stricken.” Rollins noted the gentrification of Trenton and how he wants to find a better solution to displacing local residents who fall below the poverty line. “Nothing has changed about the houses or the neighborhood, but it’s the attitudes of the people living in these houses that have changed things. The issue here in Mill Hill is that we can’t be insular — we need to outreach more and we need to be part of the community instead of separating ourselves from the other communities in Trenton.” n

entertainment Out country singer goes back to her roots for holiday album By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Country singer and LGBTQ advocate Chely Wright is coming to the area in the days before Christmas to bring a little holiday cheer to her fans with country hits and holiday songs from her new album, “Santa Will Find You!” Wright admits she’s one of those p e o ple who breaks out the Christmas music as soon as humanly possible in anticipation of the holidays. “Like most people, I love holiday m u s i c ,” she said. “I start playing it after Halloween. I’m that person.” Being somewhat in the middle of the spectrum when it comes to Christmas music, we commended her for taking a creative high road for her sonic holiday offerings. “At the end of the day when I’m dead and gone, I hope people will hear my body of music and say, ‘That made sense,’” she said. “Unfortunately, when it doesn’t make sense, it sticks out like a sore thumb. At this point in my career, I’m trying to protect my catalog and not stink it up in any way. I feel pretty satisfied that this brings more to the table than it takes from the table.” Wright said that while she was in the studio recording tracks for her Christmas album, she also recorded a new batch of country songs that she plans to release early next year.
Family Portrait Out & About
Wright became a vocal supporter of LGBTQ causes in 2010, when she became one of the first major country music stars to come out. When we asked about her plans for 2019 on the advocacy front, Wright didn’t hesitate to list the things she intends to focus on. “I’m championing truth,” she said. “I can’t believe what a posttruth world we are living in. Opinions seem to rank right up there with facts. I continue to advocate for the LGBTQ community and stay in and hold that space. I’ve been out for eight years and maybe five years in, I thought, OK, our work here is done. Marriage equality is the law of the land. How wrong I was. Most of the people I talk to are young people trying to come to terms with their sexual identity. More times than not, it’s spiritual-based bashing that hurts them the most, with parents and their faith community telling them they are not OK. That seems to be the thing that I feel most passionate about.”

Q Puzzle Scene in Philly
We also asked Wright about progress in accepting LGBTQ artists in the world of country music. “Progress has been made,” she said. “Mainstream artists are finding a little more footing to voice their support of gays and lesbians. Do I wish we had made more progress? Yeah. Am I embarrassed that we haven’t made more progress? Yeah. Progress is just something you can’t keep from happening. That said, I think gay and lesbian artists who are in country music and still in the closet — I get it.” Wright added that while the country-music industry and demographic are still very conservative, things still are shifting, albeit slowly, in a more positive direction. “I see a light at the end of the tunnel,” she said about how people’s views are changing. “It used to be 5 percent of country-music fans were OK with gay issues. That’s not the case anymore.
Page 26 Page 21
Funky Christmas PAGE 26
It’s probably 30 percent. As the American populace changes, ideology and hearts and minds change. It can’t help but change in country music as well. It just changes a little bit slower and a little bit less.” n Chely Wright performs 7:30 p.m. Dec. 23 at Sellersville Theater 1894, 24 West Temple Ave., Sellersville.

Eric Jaffe: Oy vey, it’s EJ! “Applause? I’d love some!” That’s the way this week’s Portrait, Eric Jaffe, starts his monthly cabaret, “The Eric Jaffe Show.” In addition to his regular performances, the multi-talented Jaffe can soon be seen for one night only in “Oy, to the World,” a dance party for “people of Jewish faith and their allies.” The event will include music by DJ Carl Michaels, comedy and live performances starring Jaffe, the fabulous Brittany Lynn, Satine Harlow and Alexis Michelle from “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” PGN: You’re a musician? EJ: Yes, I’m actually a world ukulele champion, a drag queen and a comedian among other things. PGN: So what are some of the things that make you, you? EJ: I feel like I am a very ridiculous performer. I’m a live singer and I write a lot of parody songs, kind of like Weird Al Yankovic. But I write them about very irreverent topics; a lot of toilet humor, a lot of queer humor, and I’m a gender-queer drag queen. PGN: Expand on that. EJ: I’m a bearded queen — my drag is a perspective on gender; breaking down the walls that have been set by society of what a glamorous person should look like. PGN: Tell me a little about your show. EJ: Every month, I bring four different live singing cabaret performers to the bar. My partner is a balloon artist, and every month he makes a different outfit for me made entirely out of balloons — anything from a dress to a wig to a headpiece. He’s turned me into different characters like Marge Simpson, and he just made a dress for the Philadelphia Drag Awards a couple of weeks ago that had my name on it. He’s so talented. It always gives me something to look forward to. PGN: Did you go to college? EJ: I went to Florida Atlantic University where I got a BFA in acting. I learned a lot in college about performance and how I really wanted to break away from stereotypical theater. I was constantly told to “straighten up” and lower my voice if I wanted to get any stage roles — that I needed to pass as a heterosexual male, and that was hard for me, to hear that you can’t be yourself when theater is like, the queerest profession in the world. Why should I have to present myself as heteronormative? And that’s why drag and cabaret were so appealing to me — I could do whatever I wanted and I could produce my own kinds of shows. I just started working on a parody musical of Sweeney Todd, where I’m rewriting the whole show with new songs and a parody script. PGN: Will there be a new connotation to Todd wanting to eat someone?
EJ: Yes! Actually in this show it’s Mrs. Lovett’s Fry Shop — instead of a pie shop, instead of killing people, they cut off their fingers and turn them into fries. It’s really silly and over the top and the exact kind of thing I want to be doing. We just started rehearsals last week. PGN: I saw the original Broadway production with Angela Lansbury the year she won the Tony for it. EJ: Oh! She’s my hero. I’m playing Mrs. Lovett in this production. PGN: So tell me a little about your partner. EJ: My partner’s name is Greg and we’ve been together for almost two years. In addition to being a balloon sculptor, he’s a visual artist. He did most of the artwork in this room. PGN: Very impressive! EJ: Yeah, and he’s the kindest, most supportive person I’ve ever met. Being with another artist and being able to blend your artistry with theirs is nothing I’ve experienced before, and it’s inspired me to grow so much as an artist. Each week, I know he’s going to create some incredible piece for me, so I’d better have good material to go with it and I’d better look beautiful to do it justice! I want to match his level of talent with mine, so we constantly push each other.
PGN: Had you come out before they died? EJ: Yes, I came out when I was 16. My mom was very aware since I was young and I always knew I was different, even when I didn’t know what it was. My dad had a hard time when I first came out, but it was out of concern for me and he came around in a few years.
grandmother was probably the first person to embrace me for being gay. She knew way before anyone else. I remember in fourth grade I wanted to go to school as a woman, so she gave me this little kimono and put a wig on me and sent me to school in drag. No one said a thing and I felt great. Looking back, that was so cool of her.
PGN: Did religion play into it at all? EJ: Not really, I grew up Jewish and I still identify, culturally at least. We were never told it was bad, or wrong. They were always accepting of all kinds of people. So I never felt the shame that a lot of people feel around gender and sexuality.
PGN: A fun family memory? EJ: My mom took me and my brother to Vegas for my 21st birthday. I wasn’t able to get into the casinos until midnight, so we sat on the street outside and got beer from a guy selling Coronas from out of a cooler. It was awesome.
PGN: This is a scary time for most people, but especially minorities with the atmosphere generated by the current administration. Do you feel that? EJ: Definitely, it’s terrifying. My grandparents were both Holocaust survivors. My grandmother was smuggled out of Germany, curled up under the seat of a taxi
PGN: If you could go back to any period in time what would you choose? EJ: The ’70s. I love a good bell bottom and a really long weave! PGN: Two TV shows on your DVR? EJ: 30 Rock and Steven Universe. I just did a Steven Universe drag show. If you don’t know it, it’s an amazing cartoon, very queer with a lesbian relationship including a girl-on-girl kiss and the first cartoon with a nonbinary character. PGN: Cool. What was a culture shock about moving to Florida? EJ: The lack of culture!
PGN: Who’s the bigger romantic and what was the biggest gesture? EJ: We both are. For gestures on my first birthday with him, he made me a pillow with both of our names on it. It was the sweetest gift anyone’s given me.
PGN: How often do you play your ukulele? EJ: Every day. PGN: You’ve won several awards. Which is the most meaningful for you? EJ: I just won the Philly Drag Award for Best Host, Best Alternative Drag Queen and Drag Queen of the Year. It was crazy. It’s voted on by people in the community, so that really meant a lot, especially since what I do — being a bearded drag queen, which is not the norm — was amazing. It was one of the happiest moments of my life.
PGN: Give me an example of the extreme side of you. EJ: I do a parody of the song, “First Time is Forever” from Disney’s “Frozen” and turn it into a heartwarming song about group sex. I’m often crass and crude and ridiculous. I have a whole show of songs called “Songs from the Fart.” PGN: What effect do you think losing your parents at such an early age had on you other than no one to scold you about doing so many fart jokes? EJ: [Laughing] Well, that part is 100 percent from my dad. He was very crass and had no boundaries when it came to humor. But yeah, it was very difficult trying to figure out how to exist without them. Both of them were huge supporters of mine, and when you lose the people who give you unconditional love it’s like, ‘Now what? How do I exist?’ It’s one of the reasons I don’t use a drag name and say Eric Jaffe in full. It’s who I am and keeps me close to them. No matter how ridiculous I get on stage, I carry their name with pride.
and then put on a boat. My grandfather escaped as well. My Jewish heritage is another way for me to feel close to my parents — celebrating Passover or lighting Hanukkah candles. It’s scary knowing there are so many people intolerant of so many things right now. PGN: Describe your grandparents. EJ: My grandfather was hilarious and the most optimistic person I know. He was so smart; he was an engineer for RCA and my

PGN: Tell me about the show coming up on Christmas Eve. EJ: We’re doing “Oy to the World” with Alexis Michelle from “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” The cast is all queer, Jewish performers. I’ll be doing a parody of “Santa Baby” called “Santa Bubbe.” n “The Eric Jaffe Show” is held every third Saturday at Tavern on Camac, 243 S.

It seems like every genre of music from country to hard rock has gotten in on the holiday-concert game, almost to the point where nothing seems exciting, unique or revolutionary anymore. Thankfully, Everett Bradley’s Holidelic is running Santa’s sleigh through the funk gauntlet to get rumps shaking yet again this holiday season. Holidelic is the creation of Bradley, an out Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, producer, actor and dancer. The show debuted in 2002 at New York’s Joe’s Pub as a holiday funk revue cranking out high-energy and suggestive Christmas songs, inspired by outrageous live shows by funk pioneer George Clinton and his bands, Parliament and Funkadelic. To that end, Bradley plays his funky alter ego to the hilt, decked out with a glowing white afro wig, gigantic glitter-encrusted sunglasses and shiny stacked platform-heeled boots to get into character. Over the years, Holidelic has grown to a regional series of performances up and down the East Coast every December. “It’s gotten to a point where people show up in white afros because they know the look,” Bradley said. “That’s been happening. A lot of people know the songs because they keep the album in their car all year or they just are fans that make the show a tradition every year.”
Bradley said that the show occasionally draws from the influences of other notable figures from the colorful history of funk. “In every show, we showcase one of those bands; Cameo, Ohio Players, Earth Wind & Fire, Lakeside — we’ve done Rick James, too,” he said. “We try to find one and celebrate them.” Bradley was a member of the E Street Band, touring with Bruce Springsteen. When PGN caught up with him, he was on an international tour as a backup singer and percussionist for Bon Jovi. How did he land that?! “I’ve been asking myself that for years,” he said. “I could explain it with my upbringing. Most of my siblings are older than me. When I was younger, they were bringing in all these records by Sly and the Family Stone and Ohio Players. Then my uncle brought in a P-Funk record, and I was completely attached to it. It was being played in the house all the time. But I grew up in a white neighborhood, so all my friends were listening to AC/ DC, Aerosmith and ZZ Top. I have that side, too. I naturally carried both of them with me constantly. Then I got involved in theater. I don’t know how they all seem to manifest in my body but they do. Sometimes, they sort of cross over into each other.” n Everett Bradley’s Holidelic comes to Philadelphia, 8 p.m. Dec. 21, at World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St. For more information or tickets, call 215-222-1400 or visit www.holidelic.com.

Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office Sheriff Jewell Williams
Overview of the Sheriff Sale Process There are two types of Sheriff Sales. The Judicial Mortgage Foreclosure Sales and the Tax Sales. The Tax Sales include Tax Lien, Tax Collection, and Tax Delinquent Sales.
amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the stage. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered at the sale.
Tax Sales When the owner of a property located in the City of Philadelphia fails to make a payment arrangement on municipal debt levied on his/her property, that property may be sold at the Tax Sheriff Sale to allow the City to collect on that unpaid debt. These debts can include outstanding water and sewer bills, School District of Philadelphia taxes, and city property taxes. The sales also provide individuals the opportunity bid on and become the owner of tax delinquent properties, thereby acquiring lots, houses, or commercial and industrial buildings.
How do I learn which properties are to be sold? All properties that are court ordered to be sold at Sheriff Sales are advertised in the Legal Intelligencer and on a rotating basis in a paper of general circulation. You can also view a list of properties to be sold at Sheriff Sale online by clicking here.
Judicial Mortgage Foreclosure Sale The Judicial Mortgage Foreclosure Sherriff Sale is the process by which mortgage companies and other financial institutions seek to collect debts owed to them, particularly in instances where a homeowner defaults on his/her mortgage payments. As with Tax Sales, Foreclosure Sales allow individuals the opportunity to bid on properties and become homeowners. How much will a property cost? The lowest bid that can be offered is $600 and each successive bid must be made in $100 increments. The highest bidder will win the property and must be prepared to make a $600 or 10% deposit (whichever is highest) with a certified check or money order made out to the “Sheriff of Philadelphia.” The remaining balance must be paid within 30 days of the sale. An extension of time to pay the balance is rare but may be granted by the Sheriff upon written request. The second bidder If you have been out-bid on a property, you can have your name recorded as the second bidder. If the highest bidder does not pay the balance in 30 days, the second bidder shall be granted the same 30 limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his/her second bid. The second bidder must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same
When and where do the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Sales take place? The Judicial Foreclosure Sale is held on the first Tuesday of each month. There are also four different Tax Sales conducted each month and one on a quarterly basis. Click here for a list of all Sheriff Sales currently scheduled. All sales will take place at 9:00 AM at the First District AME Plaza located at 3801 Market Street on the 3rd Floor. How are the properties identified before and during the sale? Each property has an identification number called the writ number, which is listed in the newspaper and on our online listing before the property address. This number is used together with the property address when the property is offered for sale. The sale is conducted by an auctioneer who calls out each party by writ number and address. IMPORTANT: Notice of owner’s Right of Redemption after a Tax Delinquent Sale Even if you win a bid on a Tax Sale property, within nine months of the acknowledgement of the deed, the owner of record can go to court and get permission to recover the property by paying all back taxes and the money paid by the winning bidder. This is called the Right of Redemption. Therefore, if purchase a property through Delinquent Tax Sheriff Sale and invest funds to improve the property in the first year, beware that those funds can be lost. The right of Redemption is only applicable if the property scheduled for Tax Sale is determined to be owner occupied 90 days prior to the sale. If the property is unoccupied or abandoned, there
is no Right of Redemption. The Right of Redemption does not apply to any property sold at the Mortgage Foreclosure Sheriff Sale. One way to protect yourself is to contact the City’s Department of Licenses and Inspections to determine what outstanding code violations, if any, exist in the property. Any work done to correct these violations must be reimbursed to you if the original owner reclaims the property during the Right of Redemption period. Therefore, make sure you get and keep detailed and accurate receipts for code related renovations. What should you do before you bid? Take a close look. It is strongly recommended that persons planning to bid at the sales make a site visit to the property prior to the sale. Many persons have bidded on vacant lots thinking that they were bidding on a property containing residential structures. The City is not authorized to permit or arrange for entry into properties listed for Sheriff Sales. In order to buy a property from any tax sale, you must be tax compliant. Proof of compliance must be provided at the time of final settlement. You can print a certificate of compliance by visiting the website of the City Revenue Department. Once at the site, you will have to accept the terms of the website, then choose “Sheriff Sale” as the compliance type. You will then need to enter the name and tax id number of the person or entity purchasing the property. If the person or entity is tax compliant, you will have an opportunity to print out a compliance certificate. Print this certificate out and bring it with you when you pay final balance of sale. Make sure you have a form of government issued identification. You will need to present this ID at the sale in order to bid. Consider the rehab costs. While there are some bargains to be had at Sheriff Sales, potential bidders, especially those seeking residential properties, are cautioned that the condition of properties may vary widely. City loans and grants for income eligible owner occupants are available for Sheriff Sale properties only after the Right of Redemption period has expired. The City has set this policy to ensure that its limited resources do not benefit original owners.

to
be
sold
by
JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff on Tuesday, January 8, 2019 at First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, at 9:00 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 Sheriff reserves the right to reject any certified check, attorney’s check or money order that on its face has an expired use date and is presented for payment of the deposit. The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale. The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be set by the City of Philadelphia. In no event will the successful bidder be allowed to settle on the property unless all the Sheriff’s costs are paid notwithstanding the final bid. 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 Philadelphia 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, 215686-1483 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 NOTICE OF SCHEDULE OF DISTRIBUTION The Sheriff will file in his office, The Land Title Building, 100 South Broad Street, 5th Floor, a 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. 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
