The ordinance will protect LGBT people from discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, race and more throughout the Village.

The Village is home to more than 13,000 residents.

According to a press release, Village Council member Darryl Aubrey proposed the ordinance at the request of the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council, an organization dedicated to ending discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.

“Therefore, until Congress or the Florida Legislature takes action, we must rely on municipal and county officials to fully protect LGBTQ people from discrimination.”

Over the years, PBCHRC’s “Palm Beach County: You’re Welcome!” campaign has encouraged elected officials in many Florida’s cities such as Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, and Wellington to enact LGBTinclusive municipal civil rights laws.

PBCHRC is currently working with the Town of Haverhill and Juno Beach, as well as the City of Riviera Beach, to enact LGBTinclusive civil rights ordinances by summer’s end.

“I THINK IT’S A WINNING TICKET AND IT’S A TICKET ABOUT THE FUTURE.”

Harris has taken major steps to lead efforts on LGBT rights, including the introduction of pro-LGBT legislation in addition to drawing attention to the anti-LGBT policies of the Trump administration.

After the Trump administration affirmed it wouldn’t allow people to identify themselves as LGBT in the 2020 U.S. Census, Harris introduced legislation that would require the Census Bureau to include questions on the Census, as well as the American Community Survey, asking respondents whether they’re LGBT. When a transgender immigrant from Honduras, Roxsana Hernandez, died from AIDS complications after being held in immigration detention, Harris and other senators demanded answers. An autopsy concluded Hernandez wasn’t physically abused before her death.

Harris and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) had called on U.S. Attorney General William Barr to revoke a 2017 Trump administration order declining to enforce Title VII of the Civil Rights Act in cases of anti-transgender discrimination in the workforce. That request was renewed after the Supreme Court determined in June anti-LGBT discrimination

is unlawful under Title VII, but the memo still hasn’t been rescinded.

Among other Senate Democrats, Harris is among the co-sponsors of the Equality Act, comprehensive legislation that would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to ban anti-LGBT discrimination as a form of sex discrimination.

Alphonso David, president of the Human Rights Campaign, said based on Harris’ record, Biden made “nothing short of an exceptional choice” for his running mate.

“Throughout her groundbreaking career, Sen. Harris has been an outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ community, standing with us when many, even sometimes those within her own party, did not,” Davis said. “As a presidential candidate, Harris spoke with a deep understanding of and empathy for the issues our community faces. It’s clear the Biden-Harris ticket marks our nation’s most pro-equality ticket in history.”

U.S. Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) praised Harris in an interview with the Blade on Tuesday.

“I’m delighted that my home state Sen. Kamala Harris will be the next vice president of our country,” Takano said. “She comes to this opportunity well-qualified, well-prepared

“In fact, at the time the statement was made, Chief Engle was addressing concerns and questions regarding contracting COVID-19 in the line of duty,” the report reads. “Some witnesses stated they believe the reasoning for Chief Engle’s statements regarding the deceased BSO deputy was to try and put the officers at ease as to potential contraction of the virus on duty.”

The report concluded Engle did not violate the town’s Equal Employment and Non-Discrimination Policies. However, the report also concluded his comments were inappropriate.

The letter from the FOP also accused the police chief of creating a hostile work environment over his behavior and comments at the patrol briefing, of which the report stated: “While these statements don’t rise to the level of the actionable, hostile work environment, or direct evidence of discrimination, they do appear to be further evidence of poor judgment.”

Engle announced his intention to retire from the police department a month ago. He told the Sun Sentinel at the time the city did not pressure him to leave. He claimed that after the allegations against him came to light, his teenage children began to receive backlash on social media. His last day is Sept.

3. According to the Sentinel he will continue to collect a paycheck even though he won’t be working. Even though the report just recently became public, the timeline would suggest Engle’s decision to retire came after the report was given to Richard Lemack, the Davie’s Town Administrator.

Engle admitted to making the comments about Bennett in a letter from his attorney that’s included in the report. “...apparently to some officers present the reference to deputy Bennett’s death as possible attendance at a festival on Miami Beach, hosted by the LGBTQ community was interpreted as a comment that deputy Bennett died because he was gay,” the letter from his attorney reads. “That drastically inaccurate interpretation is unfair to the delicate balance of the vitally important information Chief Engle was trying to impart to his troops and disrespects the memory of deputy Shannon Bennett.”

But Engle told the Sun Sentinel a month ago that he made no such remark, saying “I maintain my innocence.”

According to media reports, Bennett had been in Chicago celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with his fiancé days before getting sick.

Richard Lemack accepted the report’s findings and announced in a letter he’s going to direct the new police chief to work with the Human Resources director and Equal Opportunity Compliance officer on the following recommendations:

· Include anti-bias, sexual orientation sensitivity and interpersonal skills assessment into officer recruitment, orientation, field training (FTO) evaluations and performance appraisals. · Reevaluate the traditional department diversity/EEO classroom training. Further, ensure training includes an understanding of demographic characteristics, personality traits, values, and attitudes within the ranks and the community. · Explore the hiring of a Diversity Manager for the town to work not only with the Police Department personnel, but all town employees. · Determine whether the position is best fit organizationally in Human Resources or the Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance.

GAY MEN TAKE CENTER STAGE AT DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION TUESDAY NIGHT Some described it as the “gayest” convention ever Lisa Keen

uesday night’s Democratic National Convention launched with a video “keynote” in which 17 people — including three gay men — shared the time to explain why they are voting for the party’s presidential nominee Joe Biden. Throughout the night, LGBT people — some well-known, some obscure — appeared in various roles at the nominating convention.

Jason Rae, the openly gay secretary for the Democratic convention, directed the night’s main event: the formal roll call vote to nominate former Vice President Biden as the party’s 2020 presidential nominee.

It was a roll call unlike no other in the history of conventions and one that probably was more interesting and appealing because of the coronavirus pandemic. Instead of state delegation chair people standing on the floor of a convention hall announcing their vote, each spoke via webstream and video from their homes or localities in their home state.

Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, whose campaign for the Democratic nomination took on historic proportions as he emerged as one of the top contenders, announced Indiana’s delegation vote.

“My husband and I aren’t corporate tycoons,” said Hickman, who runs an organic farm and bed and breakfast in Winthrop, Maine. “We just want to make an honest living and feed our community.”

Wyoming’s vote was announced by the parents of Matthew Shepard, the victim of a 1998 assault that inspired legislation to prevent crimes motivated by hatred of LGBT people and other minorities. Dennis and Judy Shepard credited Biden with helping to pass that legislation and for his “commitment to equality and compassion for others.”

And during the opening keynote address, Georgia State Rep. Sam Park, Pennsylvania State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, and Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia each spoke from their homes, in

support of Biden. Park’s remarks noted that he was the first gay man elected to the Georgia state legislature. Garcia highlighted the need to pay off student loans. Kenyatta, in his final video clip, had his husband on the couch with him.

“When I wanted to marry the man I loved,” said Kenyatta, “Joe Biden was the first national figure to support me and my family.” His husband, Dr. Matt Miller, spoke to Biden, saying, “Appreciate you, man.”

Fowlkes, who led the online caucus meeting, praised Democratic nominee Biden and running mate U.S. Senator Kamala Harris as the “most pro-LGBT ticket” in history. It was a sentiment echoed by others.

QUEER BLACK WOMAN WINS FLORIDA HOUSE SEAT John McDonald

M

ichele Rayner made Florida history on Tuesday, becoming the first Black queer woman elected to a state office.

A civil rights attorney, Rayner, 38, defeated three other candidates to win the universal Democratic primary in House District 70. The district covers southern St. Petersburg and parts of Hillsborough, Manatee and Sarasota Counties. No Republicans entered the race in the district so there will be no general election in November.

Equality Florida CEO Nadine Smith released the following statement on Rayner’s win: “With her victory, Michele has shattered another glass ceiling by becoming the first Black queer woman ever elected to any office in our

Rayner took 30% of the vote and told the Tampa Bay Times she sees her victory as “pushing back on patriarchy.”

Rayner was endorsed by the Times, Equality Florida and LGBTQ Victory Fund. She raised close to $117,000 during the campaign.

aulette Armstead, an out black woman, was defeated in her bid to be the next Supervisor of Elections of Palm Beach County Tuesday night. She lost to the incumbent, Wendy Sartory Link, in a landslide with 71% of the vote.

Link was a Republican when she was appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis after he suspended the former Supervisor Susan Bucher in January of 2019.

DeSantis accused her of botching the general election in 2018.

Link decided to switch parties and run for the Democratic nomination. No Republicans are running in the general election, which means she will serve a full four-year term.

The Palm Beach County Human Rights Council chose to endorse Link over Armstead.

Rand Hoch, president of the PBCHRC, said their decision was based on Link’s past support for LGBT causes, specifically when she served on the Palm Beach State College Board of Trustees. Hoch said Link bucked her party and voted with the Democrats

on the board to pass domestic partnership benefits for employees.

“While we would love to have an openly LGBTQ person of color as our next Supervisor of Elections, PBCHRC Voters Alliance voted in accordance with our criteria and we endorsed Wendy Sartory Link instead,” Hoch said.

One of the criteria includes how a candidate has voted on LGBT issues in the past.

Before her run for SOE Armstead ran for the Florida House of Representatives in Broward County where she lost by 718 votes. Armstead has made history before as the first Black female police officer hired by the St. Petersburg Police Department.

Broward voters made history Tuesday, both in how we vote, and in who will likely lead the criminal justice system in this Democratic-rich, majority-minority county.

Contrary to elections of yore, when Broward became a national laughingstock for its untimely election results, appointed Elections Supervisor Pete Antonacci delivered a seemingly seamless election under the most trying of pandemic conditions.

The other school board seat still isn’t set. Debra Hixon will face a runoff against Jeff Holness in November.

While the forces of youth and change seemed on the march at the local level, the power of incumbency at the federal level proved too much.

Three of the four Democratic congresspeople that represent parts of Broward County — Alcee Hastings, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Frederica Wilson — all faced young, progressive challengers. But there would be no Alexandra Ocasio-Cortezstyle upsets in South Florida.

The incumbents all beat back the insurgents by 40 or more points. Both Hastings and Wasserman Schultz — along with our fourth Democratic congressman, Ted Deutch — face Republican opposition in November, but the odds are incredibly long that their Republican challengers can win.

The same is true in Palm Beach County, where Laura Loomer, who has been kicked off Twitter and Facebook for anti-Muslim statements and accused students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School of being puppets for shadowy anti-gun forces, won a Republican primary and will face Democratic U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel in November.

Along with youth and minority power, we also saw the flagging power of the purse. Well-moneyed candidates for supervisor of elections and state attorney went down in defeat.

And in the state legislative races, former state Rep. Irv Slosberg poured almost $1.5 million of his own fortune into his state Senate race, only to lose to state Rep. Tina Polsky by about twoto-one, though Polsky had raised only about $290,000.

We also saw two incumbent Democratic state representatives who voted for a controversial anti-abortion law see potential upsets. State Rep. Al Jacquet went down in defeat to Lake Worth Beach City Commissioner Omari Hardy. However, by late evening, Rep. Anika Omphroy appeared headed for a narrow victory over community organizer Jasmen Rogers-Shaw.

FEATURE FILM

NEW FILM EXPLORES NUDITY ON SCREEN David-Elijah Nahmod

“I

f I hadn’t done nudity, I might not have a career today,” actress Shannon Elizabeth says in Danny Wolf’s new documentary “Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies.” The two-hourplus film, which comes to On Demand on Aug. 18, covers a lot of ground.

“Skin” goes all the way back to the beginning, when, shortly after the movie camera was invented, people were asked to disrobe onscreen. Audiences ate it up, even as organizations such as the Catholic Legion of Decency feigned outrage and warned their flock that they would burn in hell if they saw a certain film. In order to placate religious groups and the censors, many filmmakers had to present their work as having “redeeming social value” in order to pass muster.

When he made his epic 1916 film “Intolerance,” auteur DW Griffith said he was merely presenting “history” when he showed scenes of debauchery in ancient Babylon.

“Skin” shows how much filmmakers were able to get away with in the early days. A clip from the 1934 film “Tarzan and His Mate” shows actors Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O’Sullivan swimming underwater in the nude, though O’Sullivan had a body double standing in for her. Perhaps even more shocking was the 1932 biblical epic “The Sign of the Cross,” in which a naked Claudette Colbert bathes in milk, touching her almost visible breasts. That film also features a then-shocking sequence in which a nude young woman is tied to a post, her body covered “strategically” with flowers, as she’s examined by a very horny ape.

As “Skin” illustrates, nudity has been used to titillate audiences and to fill theaters almost from the beginning, but not everyone was having it.

From 1934 to 1968 the Motion Picture Production Code, run by Will Hays, was given carte blanche to dictate which films could and could not be made. All suggestions of nudity were banned, but there were still some who tried to flaunt the code, including sex goddess Mae West, who, during the 1930s filled her scripts with hilarious double entendres.

But as early as the 1950s, a small band of independent filmmakers began to defy the code. Directors such as Russ Meyer offered films known as “nudie cuties,” which were cheaply shot films filled with naked women. These films were shown in “art theaters” and were quite popular. In the ‘60s Hollywood itself began to challenge the code, when no less than Marilyn Monroe shot a nude scene for a never competed film called “Something’s Got to Give.”

The following year Monroe-wannabe Jayne Mansfield starred in “Promises! Promises!” now remembered as the first post-code Hollywood film that featured a major star in the buff. By 1968, the code was eliminated, and the movie rating system (G, PG, etc.) was born.

This was the era when “X” was not yet synonymous with porn. It was a time when an X-rated film such as “Midnight Cowboy,” which featured both male and female nudity, could win the Academy Award. And while it was naked women who were usually seen in films, there were a few men who also showed flesh, such as Alan Bates and Oliver Reed, who

wrestled nude for a highly controversial, shocking, but very erotic sequence in the 1969 film “Women in Love.”

Few male actors appeared nude as often as the British star Malcolm McDowell, who wrestled with a young lady in his first film “If” (1968), and who showed his entire body in Stanley Kubrick’s X-rated “A Clockwork Orange” (1971).

Nearly a decade later McDowell strutted naked in the rain in the highly controversial historical epic “Caligula,” which included several graphic sex scenes which did not involve McDowell or his co-stars Peter O’Toole, Sir John Gielgud or Helen Mirren.

More than a century of nudity in the movies is represented in “Skin,” much of it illustrated with delightfully risqué film clips. Scores of actors who have disrobed are interviewed, including the aforementioned Elizabeth and McDowell, along with Pam Grier, Traci Lords, Sean Young, Mariel Hemingway, Bruce Davison, as well as directors like Amy Heckerling, Kevin Smith and Peter Bogdanovich. All have either appeared nude or asked others to appear nude.

“Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies” is a comprehensive and enjoyable examination of a phenomenon which everyone pretends to be shocked by but secretly loves. It’s fun to see naked people on the screen, and this documentary is enormously fun entertainment.

The interviews are intelligent and insightful, and the film ends with a look at how nudity is presented in this era of the #MeToo movement. One thing is for certain, and that’s that nudity has made a lot of money for producers and film distributors. It won’t be going away anytime soon.

THIS WAS THE ERA WHEN “X” WAS NOT YET SYNONYMOUS WITH PORN.

CONVICTIONS

GENERATIONAL CHANGE ON BROWARD’S DOORSTEP African Americans Win a Place at the Table Norm Kent

norm.kent@sfgn.com

T

he primary elections in Broward County demonstrated two things rather convincingly, each worthy of note. \First, African Americans have won a significant victory. This is no small achievement, especially in a year where the words “Black Lives Matter” have made national headlines.

No, those words are not anarchist, communist, or Marxist despite what the supremacist in the White House says.

Our country is divided. How racist is it that an openly Islamophobic candidate won a GOP primary in Palm Beach, only to be congratulated, not censured by a presidential tweet?

But then South Florida has never been the home and heart of racial equality.

In 1981, the Ku Klux Klan was still meeting in Davie. With the anger and hate in our country today, are you be surprised to see voices like that rise again?

Does the name Charlottesville ring a bell?

This is a county where just a few years ago residents of the city of Fort Lauderdale rose up in arms about renaming sections of Northeast 6th Street after Dr. James Franklin Sistrunk, because it would reduce property values in Caucasian neighborhoods.

Forget that the doctor was a city pioneer, who had a hundred years ago established the city’s first medical facility for blacks. He had to. Our forefathers unjustifiably barred him from performing surgical procedures in white hospitals.

A century later, his name still did not play well in “Rio Vista.” People opposed extending the street with his name on it to Federal Highway. Few leaders, including our own, spoke out courageously against it. Systemic racism was embedded in its rejection. This should not

surprise you.

You live in greater Fort Lauderdale, where black citizens were not allowed east of US after 6 pm at night as late as 1950.

This is a community where black teenagers on bicycles still get pulled over for “biking while black.” It happens.

Well, wake up Broward, smell the new roses.

The times they are a changin’. The 21st century is coming our way. Our black citizens are coming together as a community with a voice that wants to be heard.

As gays and minorities everywhere have for years, African Americans are saying they want to be a part of our cities, not apart from it. This week that community made a statement in the primaries.

The gay community has already won significant roles here in Broward, from mayoral races to judicial ones. Yesterday was a powerful day for African Americans to claim victory, including one Shevrin Jones, who is black and gay. He will also be a state senator. How about that?

As Harold Pryor, the winning Democratic candidate in the hotlycontested race for state attorney, wrote on his website, “Broward is becoming an increasingly diverse community, and the criminal justice system has always had a disproportionate impact on communities of color.”

Pryor added, “I understand the criminal justice system from the perspective of not only a lawyer, but as a Black man who has seen from a young age how the criminal justice system has impacted my family and friends.”

As a Democrat, Pryor will likely prevail in the November race. Similarly, on the opposite side of the criminal justice spectrum, Gordon Weekes, an African American, is likely to

become the county’s next chief public defender.

Brenda Forman has prevailed to remain on as the clerk of the courts. Forman’s win makes her accountable for running a court system during a viral epidemic, protecting the health of her employees and the public’s right to access to the courts. She must avoid making foolish personal feuds public fodder.

Like Sheriff Tony, elected in his own right despite questions about his past transgressions, everyone will be scrutinizing Forman, hopefully based on her competence, not her color. Tony’s win suggest that black votes matter as well.

Sheriff Tony defeated a just man unjustly removed from office by our dishonorable governor. Scott Israel fought for our rights with tenacity and passion, and school shootings in America do not occur because of sheriffs. Our country has issues of gun violence that have been too long ignored, period.

It was Joe Scott, another African American, that appears to have won the race for supervisor of elections, beating a young man backed by the Human Rights Campaign. Scott’s gutsy candidacy was inspirational. He promises to depoliticize and modernize the office.

The second point of this editorial is to simply say that our votes have to be counted on November 3. This week, they were, quickly and efficiently. That is the way it is supposed to be. The elections office is not supposed to make

headlines. You are not even supposed to know it’s there.

The presidential election ahead of us will draw national scrutiny to South Florida. Hell, the whole world will be watching. Our ballots could swing the presidential election. Get yours in on time. Don’t wait for the mailman.

Our gay community understands the importance of having a place at the table. We should applaud and partner with those groups who gain their rights as well.

It is testimony to our participation that so many of this year’s candidates advertised their campaigns on the pages of the South Florida Gay News. We thank them.

It is a tribute to our community’s role in the body politic. You have made us players in the game. We show up at the polls. We vote. Our voices count.

The historic wins by African Americans in Broward should be an encouraging reminder that a small group of people working together can accomplish a hell of a lot, maybe even swing Florida blue on November 3.

We should all be proud that our community is making the news for transitional and generational change. We have already been part of it, and we are going to continue to be so. SFGN will stand with those who stand for themselves to seek a newer, safer, saner world for all of us.

Next month, SFGN will publish a Mirror Magazine also illuminating the November elections.

WILTON MANORS MAN WRITES TO YOUNGER SELF IN MEMOIR J.W. Arnold

W

hen the COVID-19 pandemic shut down much of the nation’s economy, millions of Americans, including Terry Dyer, suddenly found themselves furloughed. Dyer, a human resources executive who had just relocated to South Florida, had two choices.

Rather than simply wait for the economy to reopen, Dyer used the opportunity to finally complete a long-planned memoir.

Four months later, he opened the first copy of “Letters to a GAY BLACK BOY,” fresh from the printer.

“I had a choice to make,” admitted Dyer.

“While COVID was a horribly bad thing, the shutdown ultimately gave me the opportunity to finish the book.”

Dyer, who was born in Kansas City, Kansas and raised in California, chose to structure his story in the form of letters to his younger self. For most children, the path to adulthood is fraught with angst. Dyer addresses family, love and acceptance, along with the challenges of growing up gay and the trauma he experienced following a sexual assault by a close relative.

“I start off by addressing the letters to a ‘gay black boy,’ but by the end of the book, the final letter is addressed directly to my younger self, Terry,” Dyer said.

As an African-American gay man, Dyer also has lots to say about race, but he says the book was not affected by the tragic murder of George Floyd and the ensuing protests that erupted across the country as he was finalizing the draft.

“I’m not so much angry … as I am about having those difficult conversations,” he pointed out, describing “Letters” as “raw and authentic” and designed to “inspire dialogue.”

The author, now 40 years old, ultimately survived and thrived. He earned a degree in public relations and ultimately embarked on a successful career in human resources. An LGBT activist, he has advocated for a number of gender and HIV/AIDS issues.

Dyer is also a trained and accomplished classical singer. He is comfortable in a boardroom and on stage, or lately, cabaret performances via live streaming on the internet.

Author Terry Dyer will read from his newly published memoir, “Letters to a GAY BLACK BOY,” this week at Wilton Theater Factory.

Credit: Courtesy Terry Dyer.

Local audiences will get a taste of the multitalented Dyer when he presents a reading from the book on Thursday and Friday, Aug. 20 – 21 at the Foundry at Wilton Theater Factory in Wilton Manors.

In addition to reading passages from the book, he plans to perform several favorite musical selections, conduct an audience Q&A session and sign books.

Living Out Loud 2.0’s Darian Aaron best summarized the impact of Dyer’s effort: “With no roadmap and often very few adults in whom we can confide in as we grow into a deeper understanding of who we are, Black gay boys are often left to navigate a world that is not designed for us to thrive in, yet somehow, we persevere. Terry Dyer is providing such a road map … By owning and sharing his story, Dyer rejects conventional wisdom that says the intimate and the painful dare not be shared publicly, thereby giving himself and the reader permission to forgive, evolve and to heal.”

“Letters to a GAY BLACK BOY” is available from major booksellers. For more information, go to TerryDyer.org.

Terry Dyer will read from his memoir on Thursday and Friday, Aug. 20 – 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Foundry at Wilton Theater Factory, 2306 N. Wilton Dr. in Wilton Manors. Tickets are $20 at Eventbrite.com.
