Employment of gay school administrator at issue By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com The continued employment of a gay high-school administrator remained in question this week, after a video of his controversial interactions with anti-abortion demonstrators went viral. Zachary Ruff, assistant principal at S.T.E.M. Academy in Downingtown, was placed on paid leave April 27 — six days after he confronted demonstrators Conner and Lauren Haines. The Haines siblings, 16 and 19, respectively, were protesting abortion outside the academy when Ruff confronted them. The school specializes in math, science, engineering and technology. During an 18-minute video of the incident, Conner Haines said Ruff supported “the murder of innocent babies.” The young man told Ruff: “Sir, you need to turn to Jesus Christ. He can set you free

from your sins.” Ruff, 40, replied: “Listen here, son. Alright. I’m as gay as the day is long and twice as sunny. I don’t give a fuck what you think Jesus tells me and what I should and should not be doing.” Ruff also referred to the Bible as “a book of fiction.” “Just because you choose to believe a book of fiction doesn’t mean I have to,” Ruff said. “You and Trump can go to hell.” Ruff advised the siblings to “meet a Jewish person,” learn more about the death penalty, study American’s involvement in Syria and “get a friggin’ life.” Ruff also indicated that he wanted to protect students from graphic images being brandished by the siblings. “Shut your mouth and do not talk to my children,” Ruff said. “You are harassing public-school children and I will call the police if you don’t shut PAGE 16

City Council last week unanimously voted on a bill to strengthen penalties for local businesses that discriminate. Councilman Derek Green introduced the bill in November to amend the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations Fair Practices Ordinance, giving PCHR authority to issue cease-and-desist orders to businesses found to have violated the nondiscrimination ordinance. Green was not immediately available for comment but told PGN last month he introduced the bill based on attending an Oct. 25 PCHR hearing in which community members discussed instances of racism and discrimination they experienced in the Gayborhood. Additionally, the councilman cited news

accounts and conversations with friends and contacts in the LGBT community. In an email, mayoral spokesperson Ajeenah Amir said Mayor Jim Kenney plans to sign the bill, the last step needed before it can go into effect. PCHR Executive Director Rue Landau told PGN investigations would be conducted on a case-by-case basis to determine when PCHR would file cease-and-desist orders, and the length of time a business would have to cease operations. “Under extreme circumstances, the commission can utilize this power, whether it’s employment, housing or places of public accommodations,” Landau said. Frank Iannuzzi, the legislative director for Green, said the bill would work to not only prevent discrimination but also to urge businesses to PAGE 16

Exclusive: ‘Will & Grace’ star to headline Philly Pride By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com Before the stars of “Will & Grace” return to our television screens this fall for the hotly anticipated reunion season, locals will have the chance to see one of them live. Megan Mullally, who played the acerbic Karen Walker on the hit NBC show, will headline Philadelphia Pride next month, event organizers exclusively announced to PGN this week. Mullally will perform a mash-up of music and comedy along with fellow entertainer Stephanie Hunt, who together perform as duo Nancy and Beth. Philly Pride Presents Executive Director Franny Price said she saw the pair’s recent show at World Cafe Live. “From the minute the band introduced them, all we did was laugh,” Price said. “Megan does a lot of speaking in between the songs, and Stephanie’s timing is so uncanny with her. Plus, they both have beautiful voices.” Comedy makes its way into many of the pair’s songs, Price noted.

“They sing a lot of naughty songs … really naughty songs,” she laughed. The two have been making their own unique brand of music since 2012 and have also toured with Mullally’s husband, comedian Nick Offerman. While she is a musician and has performed in film and on Broadway, Mullally, 58, is best known for her role on “Will & Grace,” which ran from 19982006. The sitcom centered on gay lawyer Will and his straight best friend, Grace; Mullally played Grace’s assistant. “Will & Grace” was one of the first prime-time television shows to feature out characters in primary roles. NBC recently confirmed that it is taping a 12-episode revival season, which will air this fall. n

The City of Philadelphia last week released a guide outlining local LGBT rights and resources. The LGBTQ Protections Action Guide was released in direct response to the rollback of rights at the federal level by the Trump administration, Office of LGBT Affairs Director Amber Hikes said in a statement. “With the trend of discriminatory policies coming from the White House, we want to make sure the LGBT community understands what protections they have here in Philadelphia,” Hikes said. “Philadelphia’s laws extensively protect people in the city from discrimination, and the Office of LGBT Affairs, alongside

the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations, will continue to protect the rights and liberties of all Philadelphians.” The guide outlines “quick facts” about both the LGBT community and its rights. Specifically, it mentions the Fair Practices Ordinance, the city’s LGBTinclusive nondiscrimination law; a 2014 LGBT-specific hate-crime law; regulations on gender-neutral bathrooms and bathroom signage; and the School District of Philadelphia’s trans-inclusive policy, among others. Readers are encouraged to share the information and to contact their local legislators to press for statewide reforms, such as the proposed LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination law.

The region’s LGBT chamber of commerce honored a local advertising agency with its annual business award during this week’s anniversary ceremony. Jayne Keyser, vice president of Bustard Advertising, received the seventh-annual PNC Bank $10,000 LGBT Business Award. The Independence Business Alliance presented the award Wednesday at IBA10: 10th Anniversary Celebration. “[Keyser] was very detailed in her business plan, [which] pointed to sustainability and long-term success,” IBA Executive Director Zach Wilcha said of Keyser’s application. “She wrote a lot in there about community impact and what Bustard Advertising would be doing for the LGBT community as a result of winning. Our committee really thought she was aware of her strengths and weaknesses and how her weaknesses could be improved by this infusion of capital.” Bustard Advertising is a Gilbertsvillebased agency that supplies “promotional products to make [businesses] more efficient,” said Keyser. The 62-year-old trans-

gender woman runs Bustard with her wife, Helen. Keyser told PGN she plans to use the award to attend trade shows, increase Bustard’s social media presence and offer seminars for young people and business owners. “If I can help some younger people avoid some of the mistakes I made, that’s always a good thing,” Keyser said. Keyser added she did not have a definitive vision when she started out in business. “I know I wasted a lot of time and energy,” she said. “If I would have had a business plan like I won the award with, I would have been a lot more focused, efficient and I would have done a much better job.” In addition to expanding Bustard, Keyser hopes to help IBA with its mission. IBA has plans to launch TransWork, a new program to help trans communities seek employment. Keyser hopes to aid this program by assisting businesses in sensitivity training and helping trans people start their own businesses. Keyser said it is “really exciting” to receive the award. “Any time you get some validation that you did something right, personally, that always makes you feel good,” Keyser said. “I think just the fact that it’s going to be a step toward helping people and helping my own business, that’s exciting too.” And, Keyser noted, it sends a message to young people: “You can do the same thing.” To learn more about Bustard Advertising, visit www.jrbpromo.com. n

Trump issues revised pgn Philadelphia Gay News ‘religious-freedom’ order LGBT NEWS SINCE 1976

By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com Though President Donald Trump’s “religious-freedom” executive order last Thursday didn’t contain a provision explicitly sanctioning anti-LGBT discrimination by the federal government, as it was rumored to, LGBTs and allies are still decrying the move as damaging. The order, signed in the Rose Garden before scores of religious leaders who had gathered to mark the National Day of Prayer, significantly expands the political power of religious organizations, allowing them to endorse candi-

dates and engage in other political activity. The order also instates a religious exemption for private employers to deny reproductive health care to workers. Within minutes of the order’s unveiling, the American Civil Liberties Union announced it was gearing up to sue the federal government. “The actions taken today are a broadside to our country’s long-standing commitment to the separation of church and state,” ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said. “Whether by executive order or through backroom deals, it’s clear that the Trump administration and Congressional leadership are using religion as a wedge to further

divide the country and permit discrimination. We intend to file suit today.” The order also instructs Attorney General Jeff Sessions to issue guidance to all federal agencies on “interpreting religious liberty protections in federal law.” “This sweeping approach could result in an unprecedented expansion of religious exemptions affecting employment, services and programs,” Human Rights Campaign Legal Director Sarah Warbelow said in a statement. “Revisiting federal law, including regulations and policies, will almost certainly have significant implications for LGBTQ people. In essence, the executive order punts the question of how and where the administration will permit discrimination against LGBTQ people to Jeff Sessions, a man who has consistently denied LGBTQ people equality under the law.” Regulations mandating equal hospital-visitation rules for LGBT people, LGBT nondiscrimination in federal housing and other Obama-era rules could be affected, Warbelow said. The move could also lead to the creation of new policies, such as the Social Security Administration or Department of Veterans Affairs restricting access to benefits for same-sex spouses, she added. A leaked version of a proposed “religious-freedom” executive order has been floating for months. That document, which was again invoked this week as details were announced for the National Day of Prayer event, would have outright allowed federally funded entities to cite religious beliefs in hiring decisions and to decline services to the public if they would interfere with their religious beliefs, among other provisions. Several protests were held in D.C. last week in the lead-up to Thursday’s order. “Faced with broad opposition and resistance, Trump revised his executive order,” said National Center for Lesbian Rights Executive Director Kate Kendell in a statement. “The LGBTQ community came out in full force against threats to sanction taxpayer-funded discrimination against our community, and Trump decided he wanted out of that fight. But today’s executive order still does damage to the fabric of our democracy by taking aim at one of our core principles: separation of church and state. And vast numbers of LGBTQ people, their loved ones and families will be impacted by allowing access to reproductive health care to be contingent on employers’ personal religious views. The LGBTQ community will not stand down. We will continue to forcefully challenge these injustices.” n

Anti-bullying resources, support offered at family-friendly event PGN is looking for bright young writers who have something to say about the LGBT community!

If you work with a young person age 13-25 who has an interest in writing, email editor@epgn.com by Aug. 1 for more information on our LGBTQ Youth Supplement — written completely by and for LGBTQ and ally youth. No writing experience is necessary.

By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com Anti-bullying advocates from around the region will converge this weekend at William Way LGBT Community Center to build community and raise awareness about resources. Fifty Shades of Purple will host its second-annual Families Against Bullying from 1-4 p.m. May 13 at the center, 1315 Spruce St. The event seeks to unite people working to curb bullying both in and outside of the classroom. “Bullying behavior doesn’t stop when you turn 18,” said FSP founder and board president Jazz Gray-Sadler. “Unfortunately, the federal government defines bullying as happening with children, but adults can continue bullying in higher learning and in the workplace, so we’re working very actively to change that national definition of bullying to include adults.” As such, this weekend’s event is geared toward people of all ages. Resources will be available for individuals who are confronting bullying, and there will be ample opportunities to build social networks. “There is a desire for community,” said FSP Executive Director Marchee Briant. “Families that have experienced bullying and tried to maneuver their way through the system need to know that there are people who have been in the same boat; they can gain strength and insight from folks who have managed that process.”

That process hits home for GraySadler, whose son faced intense bullying from the ages of 7-10 in the Philadelphia public schools. “There’s nothing more traumatic for a parent than getting a phone call during the day from a school administrator that starts with, ‘I’m calling about your son or daughter,’” Gray-Sadler said. “I got that phone call. Since that time, I met a lot of other parents who shared that pain and shared their stories. And unfortunately, nothing has changed in the more-than a decade since I got that dreaded call. Things that didn’t work 10 years ago still aren’t working today.” One of the most common reprimands for bullies is a suspension, which GraySadler noted many kinds look at as a “two- or three-day vacation.” And administrators and counselors often feel polarized by a system without clear supports to remedy bullying. Many of these ideas arose during FSP’s initial community-awareness day last spring, which motivated organizers to theme this year’s event on family. “We want to fill gaps,” Gray-Sadler said, “looking at how we can address bullying through accountability for parents, for administrators, for those responsible for these behaviors, as well as putting in place programs to prevent it.” Collaboration will be key to that goal, Briant noted. “People are going to have the opporPAGE 16 tunity to say, ‘Hey, we

Local orgs. participate in national event for LGBT elders By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com Local organizations are taking part in a national community-building event for LGBT elders. Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders (SAGE) will partner with AARP for SAGE Table, during which members of the LGBT community participate in mealtime conversations May 18. “The conversation will be around shared experiences within the LGBT community and as an ally,” said Terri Clark, prevention-services coordinator for Action Wellness. “In our everyday conversations, we may be communicating about other things or not connecting at all. It’s a more intentional way to bring people together to establish community around shared needs, interests, advocacy, caregiving [and] history.” Clark is organizing a SAGE Table event through the Southwest Senior Center. She plans to have at least five tables where participants can interact in small groups. “They come to the conversation with such great stories of their own growing up as LGBT community members or as allies in finding kindred spirits in the fight for equality and advocacy around oppression and discrimination,” Clark said of the Southwest Senior Center members. Clark said LGBT elders often need help with daily living, running errands and maintaining social ties. She hopes SAGE Table will bring light to these issues as individuals converse over mealtime. “I think some of the issues that are unique for our LGBT older adults [include]

that they are oftentimes more isolated,” Clark said. “They perceive aging services as not being friendly and welcoming in sharing their history of discrimination or the challenge in finding senior spaces or aging services that are friendly and welcoming.” While the event is primarily focused on older LGBT people, Ed Miller hopes his table expands beyond that. Miller will host a table at William Way LGBT Community Center, where he serves as the senior programs coordinator. During his lunchtime event, Miller hopes for members of both the older and younger generations to attend. “In my experience, when talking with seniors and the younger community, they have their opinions of what the other generation is about and most of the time, they’re on point but there are some things they don’t get right,” Miller said. “When you put the two generations together and allow a conversation, they find that they have a lot more things in common than they thought. It’s wonderful to see that experience and see the enlightenment that we get. It helps people to treat each other better, I think, if you put them in those environments.” Miller noted the political climate among the reasons the LGBT community should attend a SAGE Table event. “I think it’s a great opportunity for LGBT people to get together and talk about what’s on their minds,” Miller said. “It’s a release.”

When the SEXx Collective put together this year’s conference, organization cofounder Elicia Gonzales said they “wanted people to think about the mind, body and spirit of sexuality.” “Our collective came together and recognized that all of us were very angry. We were very motivated to take action. As people of color, as queer people, as people who are in the sex trade, as people who are poets and artists — that we as a collective, ourselves — [we] resist what’s happening on a daily basis,” Gonzales said. “Sex as Resistance” is the theme of the Collective’s May 17 event. During the evening, attendees can view TEDx-style presentations followed by performances, all based on topics related to sex and sexuality. “We just want to highlight that we have

Obituary Kenneth George, 56, clinical pharmacist By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Kenneth J. George, a clinical pharmacist who had an affinity for helping people with HIV/AIDS and the homeless, died April 28 after a brief illness. He was 56 and lived in Center City. At the time of his death, George worked at the Partnership Comprehensive Clinic, a component of Drexel Medicine that’s affiliated with Hahnemann University. In that position, he served many people with HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C in a primary-care setting. “The number of lives that he touched there is immeasurable,” said William K.

Fisher, his surviving spouse. The men were together for 28 years. George was born Oct. 16, 1960, in Bristol to Lorraine (Ulrich) George and the late John L. George. In 1978, George graduated from William Tennent High School in Warminster. He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (now the University of the Sciences) in 1983. He later returned to the institution and earned a doctorate degree in pharmacy in 1999. George embarked on his career in 1983 by preparing nuclear medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Between 1989-98, he prepared home-infusion therapies under the auspices of Graduate Health Systems. “Ken prepared home-infusion regimens, which helped homebound patients stay out of hospitals,” Fisher said.

George published numerous professional papers on various aspects of HIV/AIDS, including adherence to medicinal treatments. He also lectured across the country, mainly about HIV/AIDS; taught at Jefferson, Hahnemann and the University of the Sciences; and served on the advisory board for the Pennsylvania AIDS Drug Assistance Program, Fisher said. Fisher and George met in February 1989. “He was the love of my life,” Fisher said. “Ken had an infectious smile and was kindhearted. That was my attraction to him. He was just such a good person.” The men were married in the living room of their Center City residence on Feb. 21, 2015, after marriage equality was established in Pennsylvania. “It was a very private but meaningful ceremony,” Fisher said. In addition to Fisher, George is survived by his mother, Lorraine; one sister and two

brothers. He’s also survived by three nieces, one great-niece and three great-nephews. George chose to be cremated; there was no funeral service. Memorial services will be held at a later date. Fisher said George had a strong desire to contribute to society. “With that as our motto, we are asking for memorial donations to be sent to the Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission to support their Health and Growth Center.” The mission offers a free weekly health clinic for homeless guests, health screenings, insurance assistance and minor prescriptions. “Please feel free to honor Ken in your own way as well,” Fisher added. Donations may be sent to Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission, P.O. Box 297, Philadelphia, Pa. 19105-0297. The mission may be contacted at 215-922-6400 or www. sundaybreakfast.org/. n

oral arguments in the appeal of Dawn A. Segal, a former judge who was permanently removed from the bench for improperly discussing court cases with another judge. Segal, a lesbian, served as a municipal-court judge in Philadelphia for about six years before the Court of Judicial Discipline ordered her permanent removal in December. Segal contends that her removal was unjust and violated her constitutional rights. On May 9, oral arguments were held in Harrisburg before the state Supreme Court. The arguments focused on whether the Court of Judicial Discipline adequately explained its reasoning when ordering Segal’s permanent removal from the bench. Neither side had a comment for this update. A ruling from the high court is expected within the next few months.

Creep of the Week

D’Anne Witkowski

Erick Erickson

Editorial

‘Troubling,’ indeed It seems like a new Russian scandal crops up every other day. As of presstime, the latest (subject to change!) is the abrupt termination of FBI Director James Comey. President Donald Trump attempted to explain away the firing as being connected to Comey’s handling of the email scandal (read: non-scandal) of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. As the political world reeled, aides quickly hopped on air to attempt to brush the news under the rug. However, when a president cans the head of the organization that is investigating his own campaign team for ties to a foreign government, it’s bound to raise some eyebrows. And it should raise a lot more than that. Democrats quickly called for a special investigator on the Trump-Russia investigation, and it is well beyond time for Republicans to step up and join them. A few Republicans commented that the inexplicable termination was “troubling,” but vague commentary on the commander-in-chief’s abuses of power is no longer enough. Republicans owe it to their constituents to actively call for transparency and truth. Today’s political reality has motivated and mobilized countless citizens. People are educating themselves, monitoring what’s happening in Washington, D.C., and actively working to protect their and others’ rights. And these newly engaged citizens have power — they are voters. The mid-term elections are rapidly approaching. If Republicans want to retain their legislative control, they need to face the facts that they report to the people, not to Donald Trump. The people want and deserve representation that keeps their interests — not those of the perpetually scandal-entangled sometimes-resident of the White House — at the forefront of their minds. The intrusion of foreign influence in U.S. elections should concern every American citizen, and by extension our leaders in the nation’s capital. Calling blatant trampling of American democracy “troubling” doesn’t cut it. Republicans, find your spines and stand up for your constituents. n

"I'm worried that people with preexisting conditions will no longer be able to afford health care because their Christopher Lowe premiums bartender will Gayborhood increase. I'm also firmly opposed to any maximum lifetime benefit. If we're going to have an insurance system, you can't tell someone: ‘Sorry, your life is too expensive.

But I feel for those who don't."

They’re both on an equal footing. They both have differing opinions. Yes, one of those opinions is scientific fact and the other isn’t, but they are still both sharing their own opinion on climate change. The feminist and the anti-feminist are also largely on equal sides of an argument, but here’s where it starts to get murky. They both have opinions on the rights of women, and on the feminist movement, but one of the two of them is far more personally invested in feminism. It is the feminist who is going to be far more impacted by misogyny and anti-feminist beliefs. This brings us to the trans story. This story isn’t just two people sharing opinions. Sure, he has an opinion, but she has an identity. That isn’t equal. This feels akin to, oh, an anti-Semite sitting down with a Jewish person for that German lager, or perhaps a skinhead and an African-

American sharing their opinions on blacks over some suds. Heineken wants to you believe this is equal to the climate-change guys, but it simply isn’t. The transphobe’s argument is that transgender people simply do not exist. Or, in his words, “You’re a man. Be a man.” Meanwhile, when asked for terms to describe her, the trans woman says that she feels “attacked” and “misunderstood.” And then we have the reveal: They both get to watch videos of each other’s opinions. Well, he is shown giving his opinions. She gets to be outed, and outed in front of a man who has just literally said that she can’t be herself. This is the sort of thing that can get transgender people killed. This is the sort of thing that causes transgender people to PAGE 16 be denied their rights.

Your opinion is not worth my life Recently, Heineken released a long-form advertisement and accompanying website titled “Worlds Apart.” The premise was to have two people with strong, diametrically opposed viewpoints work together on a project, reveal their opinions to each other and then see if they’d agree to sit down and share a frosty beer with each other. The results of three such experiments are in the advert. Of course, it is well-produced, and I’m sure carefully crafted to show just the stories that went well for the screen; I’m under no illusion that this is exactly how every attempt they shot went, or that the trio of stories presented wasn’t cut to focus on the best moments. Such is the nature of entertainment media. The featured stories show two guys who disagree on climate change, a feminist woman paired with an anti-feminist man

and a transphobe with a trans woman. All of them get beyond their differences of opinion and find common ground — while enjoying a bottle of beer. The ad was largely praised, with many immediately contrasting it with another recent ad from Pepsi, showing Kendall Jenner as part of an ersatz street protest, “winning over” an attractive street cop with a bubbly carbonated beverage. There’s really little comparison between the two, save their both coming out within a few weeks of each other. I initially praised the Heineken commercial as well, but the more I thought about it, the more I pondered an obvious flaw — and one that underpins so much of the way our society seems to frame the so-called “transgender debate.” The two fellows presented in the Heineken ad discussing climate change?

What retirement investors need to know Q: I contribute to a retirement plan at work. Within the plan, I can allocate some of my contributions to my company’s own stock. Is that a wise move? A: Thanks for your question. Many publicly traded companies today offer their own stock as an investment option in their employee-retirement plans. Here are a few things to consider which may help you answer your question. Company stock in your 401(k)?

does it represent? The ideal allocation for you will depend on your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance, factors you may want to review with a financial professional. Review your overall investment strategy. Take a look at your strategy for investing through your company plan. How much do you contribute and what investment options are you using? If your employer already matches your contributions with company stock, you may not want to invest additional money in it. Consider investments with holdings that differ from your Jeremy company’s stock. This stratGussick egy is called diversification.1 If your company stock is a growth stock, for example, you might want to think about a fund that invests in value stocks. Or, if your company is a retail company, you might want to look for funds that invest in other industries and sectors that may perform differently. The benefit of diversifying is that, if one investment declines in value, others can potentially increase in value and help offset potential losses. Consider your other investments. Do you invest in an individual retirement account (IRA) or other retirement-savings account? Does your spouse/partner have a retirement plan of his or her own? It’s important to look at the investments in those vehicles and determine whether they complement your plan investments. If you can’t control the level of diversification in your own plan as much as you’d like, you may be able to enhance your level of diversification elsewhere.

Out Money

Owning company stock in your employer-sponsored retirement plan is not necessarily a bad thing. Company stock can potentially help employees profit from a company’s success and even provide tax benefits. But holding company stock can present unique risks, particularly if the stock allocation represents a large percentage of your total retirement-plan assets. Let’s consider the case of Enron, which, although occurring long ago, still raises some valid points. Enron filed for bankruptcy late in 2001 after struggling for months with mounting losses and debts — as well as questions about its accounting practices. At the time, it was the largest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history. Because more than half of the assets in Enron’s retirement plan were invested in the firm’s stock, the result was devastating. As the share price sank, so did the balance in many employees’ retirement-plan accounts. An estimated $1 billion was lost among about 15,000 accounts. Additionally, the collapse of companies like Lehman Brothers in 2008 caught the attention of millions of American workers who have company stock in their retirement-plan accounts. With their own futures in mind, they have started asking some important questions. What can I do?

Following are some steps each of us can take to evaluate our own situation. Know your plan. Brush up on the rules that govern your employer-sponsored retirement plan. Is company stock an investment option? Does your employer make matching contributions in the form of company stock? Are there rules governing management of the stock within your account? You can request a Summary Plan Description, which details the rules. Ask your employer to clarify any rules you don’t understand. Consider your share of company stock. If you do own company stock through your employer-sponsored retirement plan, what percentage of your total assets

The benefit of diversifying is that, if one investment declines in value, others can potentially increase in value and help offset potential losses.

Evaluate your options While Enron and other company collapses have raised valid questions about owning company stock, you may still want to consider taking advantage of your plan. A matching contribution of company stock may be better than no matching contribution at all. Conduct a comprehensive review of your plan assets, your investment strategy and your investments outside of your plan. And given the important role these assets are likely to play in your financial future, be sure to consult a professional before taking action. n

“embrace their obligation to serve the public, employ people and lease their properties fairly.” “Our hope is that the more significant penalty being added on — at a time when attention has returned to this ongoing issue of discrimination — that businesses [will] take the opportunity to be proactive about addressing not just explicit discrimination but also latent and inadvertent discrimination, both among their employees and at the level of their business practices,” Iannuzzi said. City Director of LGBT Affairs Amber Hikes said the Office of LGBT Affairs was “honored” to testify in support of the bill at a Health and Human Services committee hearing last month. While her office does not have the jurisdiction to carry out the bill’s provisions, Hikes noted, “the Office of LGBT Affairs, as always, will support PCHR’s efforts and aid them in addressing the specific needs of the LGBT community.” “The beauty of this bill is that its reach stretches far beyond the LGBT community,” Hikes said in an email to PGN. “It touches all Philadelphians as a declaration that discrimination does not belong here. For LGBT people in particular, this legislation comes at an essential time when individuals throughout our community are calling for action, leadership and a clear response to the challenges posed by racism, discrimination and prejudice. Councilman Green’s bill is both symbolic and substantive as a demonstration that our legislators are listening and in solidarity with LGBT Philadelphians. That is both inspiring and encouraging as we continue to work hard for the liberation of our entire community.” n

The hearing won’t be open to the public. “No further comment on this hearing or on any specific charges,” the spokesperson said in an email. As of presstime, Ruff continued to be on paid leave. His annual salary is $97,000. Ruff has worked at the district for about 15 years, including about five years at S.T.E.M. Academy. On May 3, about 200 people attended a meeting of the Downingtown Area School Board, urging board members not to fire or demote Ruff. But some attendees questioned Ruff’s judgment during the incident and said his conduct was unprofessional. An online petition urging that Ruff not be fired had more than 50,000 signatures as of presstime. “[Ruff ’s] spirit in the school is a large part of what makes the S.T.E.M. Academy great and thrive,” the petition states. “He is always trying to make this challenging institution better and is incredibly effective at his job.”

For her opening presentation this year, Jones said she plans to talk about black women and their engagement in BDSM. “I love being able to connect with an audience and giving them a different perspective,” Jones said. “There’s all these stereotypes about black women and our sexuality.

The event itself will feature celebrity ambassadors recording artist Aaron Paul and trans activist and entertainer Carl Max, who will share their own stories of overcoming bullying. Music will be provided by vocalist Dena Underwood and DJ Kathy Gibson. There will also be raffles, food and games.

Portions of the proceeds will go toward Project SAFE, an advocacy organization for women working in street economies. Gonzales noted that the organization

But another online petition urges Ruff’s termination. Alliance Defending Freedom is providing legal representation for the Haines siblings. In a letter to school district officials, ADF requests assurances that the siblings’ constitutional rights will be respected in the future. The letter also raises the possibility that Ruff committed “assault and battery” during the incident. ADF Senior Counsel Kevin H. Theriot issued this statement: “No one should ever be harassed and berated by a government employee on a public sidewalk simply for peacefully engaging in one of the most common free-speech activities. The severity of this situation, as easily seen in the video, makes what we are requesting of the school district so necessary. This can never happen again, and the school district should ensure that both Conner and Lauren — as well as anyone else who would engage in protected free speech — feel confident that it won’t.” In a brief interview, Chester County District Attorney Thomas P. Hogan said he reviewed the video at issue and there’s no apparent criminality on the part of Ruff or the Haines siblings.

Quickly connecting people affected by bullying with tangible assistance has been a priority for the organization. “On our website, you can get help in both English and Spanish, with resources for schools, communities and in the workplace, all in just two clicks,” Gray-Sadler said. “So many people don’t know where to go for resources on bullying, so our goal is that no one should have to go more than just two clicks to get help.” Tickets to the event, which support FSP’s work, are $25.

Surely this doesn’t match up against the climate-change pairing. Sure, we get that happy ending with the two of them, even a snippet of their conversation at the end about keeping in touch, and how the transphobic guy will have to tell his girlfriend he’s corresponding with another woman. As transgender people have become more visible, and as we face an era of increased debate over the very rights of transgender people to partake of society in some of the most basic ways, we are seeing these sorts of debates come up. It’s a cliché of cable news to present “both sides” of arguments as equals, even when both sides are nothing at all the same. Yet, when you pair up a trans person against someone who is literally claiming that transgender people can’t or don’t exist, it takes things to a whole different level. Again, one side may be sharing an opinion, but it’s being countered with one’s identity. One’s existence is being offered up for debate. You can’t — or at least shouldn’t — debate the very nature of a person in this way. Transgender people face huge hurdles just to live. We’ve already seen the murders of 10 transgender women of color just this year in the United States, and it is only the middle of May. We’re watching our federal government roll back and remove transgender rights and protections. We’re still seeing states such as Texas try to bar transgender people from restrooms and other public accommodations. In the face of this, trans folks still exist, because being transgender is not just “an opinion.” It’s not as if we can decide to not be transgender because the government has barred you from restrooms, medical care or anything else. Further, we don’t wink out of existence because someone says we can’t be who we are. I’ve said it before, and I will keep saying it: You are welcome to your opinions about my existence, but no matter your stance, I will continue to exist. As to Heineken’s advertisement, well, as “uplifting” as its message is, it remains deeply flawed. It is still, however, better than that Pepsi commercial. n Gwen Smith would choose a Stone Stout over a Heineken any day. You can find her at www.gwensmith.com.

people can come together and affirm their sexual identities and gender identities in empowering spaces,” Jones said. “We are in a time in this country where there are attacks on so many people that we have to find ways to affirm ourselves, our humanity and our right to live as individuals.” Jones will host a Twitter chat 9 p.m. May 14.

Day in the Life of ... By Scott A. Drake scott@epgn.com The second thing you realize when you meet Armando Martinez is his seemingly unlimited abundance of energy. He’s friendly, enthusiastic, happy, genuinely interested in people and has the eagerness of a kid at a theme park. The Raven Resort in New Hope is just the place for him to immerse himself to use all of that energy. He gets to work every morning at 7 to open up for the cleaning crew. There is plenty to tidy up in the lobby, bar, restaurant, Oak Room and around the grounds even before the guests start to check out. Or in some cases, even wake up. Right after getting them ready, for more months than not, he heads out to clean the pool. It opened earlier than ever this year due to a warmer-than-usual April. After an hour of skimming, water-testing, balancing and preparing the water, if it’s a warm-tosteamy morning, he takes a minute to avail himself of it and take a swim. In the meantime, the phone starts ring-

a resort manager, Armando Martinez “I keep an eye on the kitchen to make sure they are moving around to set up for the lunch crowd,” said Martinez, “and then I make sure the temperature is set for everybody when it’s a hot day so that it’s nice and comfortable in the restaurant and bar.” Out of the frying pan, into the office Around that same time, the cleaning crew shifts to housekeeping and he gives them prioritizations for checkouts, special requests for pillows, towels, etc., and maintenance items. The phone keeps ringing, but now there are bartenders and wait staff to help with the reservations and questions about pool hours. The afternoon is filled with all of the manager tasks in the office. There’s the website to keep current with photos, parties, guest performers and special restaurant events. A couple hundred people will look at it every day and the site tracks where people are when they look to book a room or dinner, or even just browse the photos.

Visitors come from all over. “The number-one place where people come from is Philadelphia,” Martinez said. “Followed by New York and Washington, D.C. For that, I was very, very surprised! And we get a lot of first-time customers, a lot.” Afternoons are when deliveries for the bar, kitchen and everything else show up. There’s time paying bills, checking invoices and a host of other office tasks. While Martinez doesn’t check everything in and put it away — others do that, at least — he does collect all the paperwork. “I pay the bills and put things in the coming. There are more vacationers, day-trippers, sunbathers and a lot more food and alcohol being consumed. Staff ramps up from around 33 regulars to 42 or more in the peak months. “It’s funny,” Martinez said. “People like to book their weekend vacations while they are working. So we start getting phone calls at 8 a.m.” Some calls are people who forgot their sunglasses or their credit card or apologies because they accidentally took their room key home. (“Ship it back!” he says.) Mid-morning, he checks in with the bartenders, the lunch crew and the kitchen. The lunch specials are fleshed out and he enters them into the register. Lunches during the week are sometimes eaten at the bar, but on the weekends more than 100 people might come into the dining room.

puter,” he said. “I do all the accounting. I prepare documents for the owners. And I question everything.” The necessary work is the part he likes least. “I love numbers but I just don’t like spending a lot of time working through projections,” he said. “I would rather be out there working with people. I don’t like sitting in the office doing paperwork. I need people because they give me energy.” During that time, he also uses a white board to track the next things on the horizon. There are parties and weddings and guest performers to keep track of and special arrangements for all of them. And in the spring, he’s already looking at events in the fall. “We have our very first straight wedding coming up in October and we already have the menu and the settings — it’s constant communications.” Last call

proud of is the association the resort has with FACT (Fighting AIDS Continuously Together) Bucks County. Every December for the organization’s holiday Bingo fundraiser, The Raven’s Poe Bistro buys, prepares, delivers and serves turkey dinners with trimmings to every person who bought a ticket and all of the volunteers. But what does he like about the job most of all? “I love meeting people,” Martinez said, “and hanging with the employees and learning. This is a family is how I see it. It’s a different approach. We have fun, respectfully though — the things we can say, being ourselves, being as gay and colorful as we are.” During most of the week he leaves around 11 p.m., but on Fridays and Saturdays he won’t get out until 3 a.m. He said most of the time he only needs five hours of sleep. And still, he makes time to go to the gym.

REAL, PERSONAL SERVICE. And that’s the first thing you would notice about him looking across a room. He’s just over 5 feet tall and built like the man of steel. Eight years ago, he competed in Mr. Gay United States representing Rehoboth Beach. “The gym is important,” Martinez said. “It wakes me up, it kind of puts me in a mind frame to totally disconnect from work. That’s me time. Nobody takes that away from me. When I have to be in at 7, I go to the gym at 6. I used to go in the afternoons, but now I cannot afford to step away from here.” There are always things to plan, like New Hope Celebrates events — and that doesn’t just mean Pride, but also that high-heeled drag race and other events. “I chair Bingo. There are meetings every week. Board meetings. Committee meetings. There are meetings for New Hope Celebrates and FACT, always a meeting somewhere.” Centering himself like that gives him the drive and desire to go, go, go every day. But there are a lot of plusses to the job. “It’s rewarding,” Martinez said. “You’re creating memories. You talk to people that met here. People getting married say, ‘We met here’ so many years ago or ‘We did this here’ so many years ago. That’s what fuels me to get up in the morning.” n

New Hope looks to past, future By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com This year’s Pride festivities in New Hope will include a unique opportunity to explore the town’s LGBT history while celebrating its future. New Hope Celebrates Pride, which runs May 14-20 in the Bucks County town, will include LGBT-history exhibit “Looking Forward to Looking Back.” The project is an outgrowth of RetroScope.org, a digital archive featuring photos, documents and other ephemera telling New Hope’s storied LGBT history. Excerpts of the project will be installed at art galleries and other venues throughout New Hope and Lambertville through May 21. Guests can follow a map to each venue and listen along to a podcast detailing New Hope’s LGBT history as they explore the exhibit. “This is the first time we’ve really tried to spread the festival into the art world,” said Dan Brooks, founder of NHC and co-founder of Retro-Scope. “With the podcast that goes with the map, people can listen to the history as they view the exhibits and it’ll almost feel like they’re living it.” Incorporating Lambertville into the exhibit goes hand in hand with Pride’s evolution, Brooks said. “Throughout our 14 years, while some Prides try to get more LGBT-specific, it’s always been our goal to make it more diverse,” he said. “We have been trying to spread all of our events over to Lambertville and encourage people to make the trip over the bridge because we want to make everything as diverse and inclusive as we can, to make sure everyone knows they’re welcome to participate.” The May 20 parade will again begin in

Lambertville and proceed through New Hope’s Main Street. The parade will include the debut of the organization’s new 100foot rainbow flag, carried by local LGBT youth. Until this year, the organization had used a section of the Key West Rainbow Flag. “We had been using part of the flag that was the original one from San Francisco but was on loan to Key West,” Brooks said. “Key West would then send it to us and then to the next group and it would get passed around each year. So this will be the first time we’re not borrowing and that New Hope now has its own 100-foot flag.” The new addition was crafted by Humphrey’s in Old City and was made possible by a donation from presenting sponsor Landmark Hospitality and Logan Inn. Logan Inn will be the host of this year’s Pride Fair Village, which opens noon May 20. The fair was previously held at the Bucks County Playhouse lot, but this year will spread from West and East Ferry streets, surrounding Logan Inn, to a portion of the playhouse’s lot. Dozens of vendors will participate in the fair, offering crafts, merchandise, games, food and more. Brooks said the event showcases the town’s diversity, which, he added, lasts far beyond Pride week. “New Hope has always been an inclusive town,” he said. “You can have a biker bar that has a drag show; gay bars aren’t the only places, by far, where the LGBT populace congregates. By nature we’ve always been diverse and I think that shows in our Pride. People come from all over because they consider our Pride to be a model of how Prides should be in terms of inclusivity.” For more information, visit www.newhopecelebrates.com. n

In style, out-of-town celebrations By Scott A. Drake Scott@epgn.com Weekends away can be fun, spontaneous and casual, but many times a getaway is for a special occasion: an anniversary, an engagement, a birthday. They don’t have to be so extravagant that they include airfare and a passport, but they can be extravagant locally without breaking the bank. We’ve stayed at numerous B&Bs and inns on our jaunts to Bucks County over the years and each is special in its own way. This year we stayed at the 1870 Wedgewood Inn (wedgewoodinn.com; 111 W. Bridge St.) as it begins celebrating its 35th-anniversary season. As if to bring home the point of special weekends to us, two couples were celebrating anniversaries while we were there and another got engaged that Saturday night. The Victorianera feel of Wedgewood means meticulously decorated coziness and comfort, from the parlor to the bedrooms, with such a vast collection of Wedgewood pieces and other charming items that a rainy afternoon just begs one to explore and examine the entire inn. There’s a bit of history behind the site where Wedgewood stands, but there’s barely a square foot of New Hope that doesn’t have something historically significant or fascinating attached to it. In fact, many spots in Bucks County have

Revolutionary War ties. (See the “Bringing history to death” sidebar for more.) Besides the usual amenities tied to a bed and breakfast (which is fantastic on the back porch or in one of the gazebos, by the way), Wedgewood hosts a Saturdayafternoon tea. During the inn’s 35th-anniversary celebration, tea is the time when owners Carl and Nadine Glassman regale you with stories of the first years of the inn, special moments there and some history of the house and grounds, if you’re so interested. They are also holding a variety of quizzes, scavenger hunts and other games with prizes during tea time throughout the anniversary season. The inn is located a few minutes’ walk to Main Street in New Hope, so it makes an ideal location for trips into town during the day and an excursion to The Raven Resort or The Cub Room in the evening. Those two LGBT staples of New Hope offer enough variety, from the dance floor to the piano room to the lounge and pool table, to entertain anyone. In the summer, sit in The Raven cabana and listen to the music and chatter across the pool or outside the Cub Room in the serenely wooded area of the New Hope Lodge and commiserate with nature. A top spot for a celebratory dinner is Marsha Brown’s (marshabrownrestaurant. com). The establishment near the corner of Main and Bridge streets is a former

Methodist church that worked in the higharched ceilings and stained glass to its current incarnation. The menu highlights New Orleans-style cooking with a variety of crab dishes, gumbo, jambalaya, a raw bar, some seasoned steaks and several cat-

Bringing history to death It’s been said that New Hope has more ghosts and spirits per square foot than any other town in the country. At times, it seems that you can’t walk through a doorway without hearing a ghost tale. People are practically dying to tell you one. If you take one of the Ghost Tours of New Hope (ghosttoursofnewhope.com), you’ll hear several. There’s quite the variety of ghosts in this town. They are painters, hitchhikers, children and Revolutionary War-era men and soldiers. Let’s rewind. New Hope used to have a ferry at the end of Ferry Street. George Washington appropriated it and every other conveyance leading up to his Christmas march on Trenton in December 1776. A perfect sentry point was where the Logan Inn stands since its establishment in 1727. It is the oldest continuously operating inn and tavern in Bucks County. Many people visited or stayed there and many sick during the war died there. Legend has it the cellar was used to store the bodies of soldiers killed in the area. It’s said to be the most haunted building around. Near the Y-road juncture where

Bridge and Ferry streets meet, you’ll find the New Hope/Solesbury Library. There’s a marker describing how the land around it and up to the Wedgewood Inn was once a colonial fort. If you walk back from the street anywhere along there, you can see the military advantage of seeing all the way to the river and the down the roads leading up the hill. Not long ago, at the Wedgewood, renovations uncovered a tunnel beneath the building that has been generally identified as a munitions store during the revolution, but may have also been used as part of the Underground Railroad more than 100 years later. A trap door under one gazebo that allows for exiting the house surreptitiously was also found. Perhaps the most intriguing ghost story and local favorite might be the tale of butcher/painter Joseph Pickett, a Victorian-era resident ghost. Pickett was a butcher by trade and a painter by desire. He lived on Mechanic Street and had a studio upstairs in his house. His most recognizable work was painted while he stood on an outcropping behind the Wedgewood Inn. It is called “Manchester Valley,”

and was posthumously hung in New York City’s Museum of Modern Art. A copy of it is in the dining room at the inn. Another local artist has recaptured it on the wall over his garage between Pickett’s home and the inn. He died in 1918, but his spirit is said to linger. He is spotted in an apron with red on it; it may be blood or it may be paint. Most interestingly, he’s been seen in more than one place. He’s been viewed in his former home and is said to pull hair in the room where his studio was. He’s also been spotted in the gazebo on the outcropping behind the Wedgewood Inn. Sometimes it’s just a glimpse of something red through the shrubbery that when you get around to look is gone. The ghost tours are what you make of them. In the summers, they’re a pleasant evening diversion before or after dinner. In the fall months and especially around the end of October, the lantern-led tours, the feeling of nature ebbing and a chill in the air that may or may not be weather-related all lend to a potentially spirited night of ghost tales and warnings. Take heed. n

sional and attentive group of employees in the county. Fine-dining ideas for your special weekend should also include Poe Bistro (theravennewhope.com/poebistrolounge) at The Raven Resort for lunch, dinner or brunch. There are an abundance of deuces along the windows and in the garden. The simple menu ranges from fish and chips and burgers to grilled salmon and lobster ravioli. The night we ate there, the swordfish special caught our eye and was as fine as any overpriced hotspot in Philadelphia. The patio out back, with its shrubs and illuminated trees, is magical for dinner and charming for brunch. Speaking of brunch, we also wandered into Bristol recently and found the King George II Inn (kginn.com) has a brunch omelet special that pairs nicely with the $5 mimosas and bloody Marys. This little village has a number of quirky shops and was named winner of the 2017 Small Business Revolution “Main Street” competition, which came with $500,000 to be used as the town sees fit for restorations, street-scaping, marketing and other Main Street improvements. Other recommendations for a special dinner night would have to include The Hattery (hatterydoylestown.com) in Doylestown, a short-15 minute drive down Route 202; The Golden Pheasant Inn (goldenpheasant.com), north of New Hope on River Road and just a driveway away from Sand Castle Winery; and Karla’s (karlasnewhope.com), on the corner of Main and Mechanic streets in New Hope. Wandering outdoors, sheltering indoors Part of the joy of getting away beyond sampling the local fare is checking out unique shops and unusual spots. Less joyous are the days that turn gray and drizzly, and produce a general “What the Fog?” feeling. When weather turns iffy, as it does frequently in the spring and fall, one can easily shift plans. Here are a few ideas for either type of day in a number of Bucks boroughs. In the Bristol/Morrisville area, try Pennsbury Manor (pennsburymanor.org) on a nice day. It’s a breath of country air and clear skies and offers some serenity. The manse tour is detailed and fascinating, as are the kitchen garden, the spinners, joiners and blacksmiths and special offerings like sheep shearing and ale tastings.

If the weather turns, go to downtown Bristol and hit up the new corner antique mall and the model-railroading collections. These are highlights in downtown Bristol and depending on the day and time, you may be able to catch a show at Bristol’s Riverside Theater (brtstage. org). Planning a day around Doylestown? The Mercer Castle and Moravian Tileworks grounds are great, but strolling the streets of Doylestown and poking into shops is second to none. Have a cup of joe on the porch at Zen Den (zendencoffeeshop.com) and dine al fresco at Genevieve’s Kitchen (genevieveskitchen. com). If it’s rainy, you can still shop. A favorite place of ours is the pair of bookstores at 35 W. State St.: Bucks County Bookshop and Central Books. Twice the delight! We like to pop into The Hattery across the street for adult beverages in the afternoon. No matter what the weather, the Michener Museum (michenerartmuseum.com) always has splendid exhibits and boasts several concurrent ones right now, including one by Philadelphian Charles Sheeler through July 9. It’s a cleverly curated show of some of Sheeler’s paintings, Condé Nast portraits and fabrics inspired by some of his patterns. Also showing this summer is some original early work by Sam Maitin through Aug. 27. His amusing and whimsical creatures are fun and inspirational while his take on mythological beings is intricate and engrossing. Another fine exhibit, “Light & Matter: The Photographic Object,” takes an app called Dark Matter and turns the artwork on the wall into, well, different art on your smart phone. It wraps up June 25. Look for the occasional patio parties some evenings in the summer as well. Let’s talk New Hope. Again, shopping or a walk or bike ride along the canal or across the bridge would be your best first choice for a nice day outside. New Hope is the most strollable town in the county with small side paths, the canal, the river and Aquatong Creek with backset studios and a surprise around each corner. Impulsive stopping can be hazardous to your wallet.

There’s a plethora of fascinating information surrounding the founding, evolution and existence of New Hope. The Delaware Canal Locktender’s House (visitpa.com/pa-museums/delaware-canal-locktenders-house) is also a favorite spot to duck into during a brief downpour.

Out community member seeks New Hope mayorship By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com Geri Delevich has lived in New Hope for 40 years, 18 of which she served in Borough Council. However, the out community member does not plan to stop there. “Now that I’m retired, I can’t just relax and do nothing,” Delevich laughed. “I feel like I have to make a contribution, use my talents that I have and make my place in the world better for everyone.” If elected later this year, her new contribution will be as mayor of New Hope. Delevich is running unopposed in the Democratic primary and will compete against Republican incumbent Larry Keller in November. Throughout her time in New Hope, Delevich advanced a number of LGBTrights issues within the town and the New Hope-Solebury School District. This included a 2002 LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination ordinance. Additionally, she helped reinvigorate the school district’s Gay-Straight Alliance and backed a transgender-inclusive policy. “I was happy to participate in such movements for our area and such protections for people’s rights,” Delevich said. “I am proud that I was able to do that. I feel that members of the community can feel safer here.” Another way Delevich contributed was by working to increase New Hope’s rating on the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index. The ranking rates municipalities on areas such as nondiscrimination laws and an overall relationship with the LGBT community. New Hope initially had a score of 48 in 2012 but Delevich, along with attorney Angela Giampolo, helped establish LGBT liaisons within city departments, advanced a resolution supporting marriage equality and pioneered other LGBT-inclusive policies, resulting in the town’s score rising to 89 the next year. Delevich also served as executive producer for “Embraceable You,” a documentary on New Hope. She noted her experience in the town’s first Pride parade as inspiration for this documentary. “We were all coming down the hill into the center of New Hope,” Delevich said. “Hundreds of people were there cheering us on and they were straight allies. It brought tears to my eyes because we live in a community where people don’t even care what title or what label you have. They were just celebrating right along with us and letting us know that they supported us. “Then I thought I wanted to do a documentary on how people in this town have embraced differences throughout their history,” Delevich added. “It’s a really amazing community that has had that reputation forever.”

The documentary ended up including interviews with more than 25 New Hope residents and merchants. Eventually, the project expanded to a book and CD — all addressing the town’s diversity. Since Delevich has such an established relationship with New Hope residents, she said she would step into the role of mayor “very easily.” “Those are the kinds of reasons why I think I’d do a great job and I’m eager to be mayor,” she said. When asked why she loves New Hope, Delevich laughed before listing several reasons. Among them are the restaurants, Bucks County Playhouse and its “natural beauty.” However, she said the first thing

that comes to mind are the town’s citizens and visitors. “I love New Hope because of the people that live in New Hope and the kind of people that come to New Hope,” Delevich said. “They come to New Hope because they know it’s a community that is unique and avant-garde and a community where you can be different, accepted and welcomed.” Delevich said New Hope boasts the diversity and bustling atmosphere of a city, yet in a much different setting. “I’ve had friends who come from L.A. and say there’s more to do in New Hope than there was to do in Los Angeles,” Delevich said with a laugh. “They could be busy every night of the week. “I couldn’t ask for a better place to live.” n For more information on Geri Delevich, visit www.geriformayor.com.

Singer pays tribute to Judy Garland in New Hope By Gary M. Kramer PGN Contributor Cabaret performer Seth Sikes grew up in Paris, Texas, loving Judy Garland and her music. He saw her in films like “Summer Stock” and “The Wizard of Oz” and sang her music on the playground while his friends performed pop songs. “I was mesmerized by her voice,” the performer said in a recent Skype interview. Sikes will mesmerize audiences when he performs an evening of Garland songs at the Rrazz Room in New Hope May 20, coinciding with New Hope Celebrates Pride. To be clear, the show is not an impersonation. Sikes is not a drag queen “doing Judy.” Nor is he, as some folks have suggested, “channeling” the diva. Sikes sings in a suit, and pays loving tribute to the actor/singer who inspired him. He tells stories about his connection to her songs in between his renditions of “Get Happy,” “Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart” and “After You’ve Gone.” One number Sikes won’t perform is Garland’s signature tune, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” He acknowledged, “Everyone expects me to sing it, but I’d never dare touch it. ‘It’s been done,’ as

Liza says.” Sikes came to perform cabaret after singing show tunes in Manhattan piano bars. He originally moved to New York to be an actor, but he soon shifted gears and decided he might be a good director. When a few jobs as an assistant director prompted him to change his mind again, he started frequenting piano bars. He connected with Garland’s music — and the song “The Man That Got Away,” in particular — after experiencing heartbreak. Suddenly, her music meant even more to him. He recalled, “I sang Garland with so much passion over the years. I sang her better and stronger. I felt Judy coming out of my throat. I was burned out of theater, and I was ready to do something else, so as a farewell to the theater, I was going to do a ‘stunt’ and sing Garland songs and talk about my

He explained that the Peters show was the last of his “diva” tributes. “I’m not going to do Bette Midler or Barbra Streisand. I truly have loved all three of these musical hero singers [Garland, Minelli and Peters] my whole life. I never liked Streisand in the same way. It wouldn’t be true or real or earnest for me to do her. It wouldn’t be a real love letter.” As for the emotion he generates performing Garland, Sikes observed, “If I phrase things as her, it’s because it’s ingrained in my brain. There’s not an ounce of trying or attempting to channel it. When I sing big, high notes, I feel her coming out, but there’s a resonance that’s reminiscent of her. I’m not scared to go for it because I don’t have a lot to lose doing this. I’m a passionate, soulful singer. I’m not trying to channel her. I did purposely recreate her arrangements for people who knew her Carnegie Hall performance, but I escaped comparison because I’m a guy.” That said, Sikes deliberPhoto: Mitch Zachary ately does not change the prolifelong obsession with her. nouns of Garland’s songs.

The Rrazz Room makes some moves By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com The Rrazz Room, one of the newer additions to the nightlife scene in New Hope, has recently returned to its original location. The operation is back at the Clarion Hotel, which bought and rebranded the former Ramada and Rodeway Inn. The live-music venue and performance space had quickly made a name for itself in Bucks County, hosting artists from a wide range of genres and styles — from Broadway and big-band singers to jazz, rock, pop and R&B artists and groups. Robert Kotonly, co-owner of The Rrazz Room, which also has locations in Philadelphia, Miami and Boca Raton, said the venue has had to move twice since establishing itself in New Hope to keep up with the vision he’s had for top-notch entertainment and service. It opened its doors in November 2013 at the Ramada, where, Kotonly said, there were some issues with service and kitchen capacity, prompting the Rrazz Room to head to The Raven. “The Raven was purchased by a new owner and they asked us to go over there,” Kotonly explained. “We had no problem with The Raven; we were supposed to get a bigger room there that they were building

and they ceased plans for that. It’s a very, very tight space. For the type of artists we wanted to bring in, it was very challenging. The new owner of the Clarion called us over and said, ‘We want you back.’ There’s a new chef and restaurant now, called Bonfire. So far, the service has been great. When we came over here, we brought the crème de la crème of our servers as well. It’s a new day. It’s a new chapter. Of course, the entertainment will remain strong but now the food and the service are of equal quality.” Kotonly said recent upgrades to the hotel will ideally make it more of a hot spot for locals and visitors looking for a place to relax and be entertained. “Since the renovation, it just looks fresh and new. The hotel would love to become a destination where people just like to go [for a] night out,” he said, noting the venue’s food, service, friendly atmosphere and entertainment all combine to make it such a spot. “That’s the kind of place that we are and that we are securing even more so with this new talent that we have brought on board since we’ve been back at the Clarion. For a while it was inconsistent but now there is a constant consistency that we feel proud about.” n For more information about The Rrazz Room and its upcoming spring/summer entertainment schedule, visit www.therrazzroom.com.

International Gender-inclusive passports may be coming to Canada

If you are celebrating an anniversary, engagement, wedding, adoption or other life event, we would be happy to help you announce it to the community. Send your contact information and a brief description of the event to editor@epgn.com.

Canada is about to consider legislation to make Canadian passports gender-neutral for those who do not fall into the female or male category. Currently, the country only allows female or male options on passports, but a proposed bill may change this, creating inclusivity and relieving stress that both transgender and non-binary people face. Canadians are permitted to change the sex on their passport at any time, but backers of the new policy hope it will help broaden the options available to people. Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould deemed the move “mindful,” but stressed there was still more to be done to achieve equality. “The prime minister is very mindful of perhaps a third box or an ability to mark something other than male or female,” Wilson-Raybould said. “This work is being undertaken at Passport Canada. Individual ministers and [people] within their departments are recognizing that this bill has been introduced, that there is work that needs to continue to be taken.” The bill, C-16, would update the

Canadian Human Rights Act. However, it has faced some opposition. Conservative Senator Don Plett said the third option was not “a workable solution.” “When you start putting other boxes in, where does that end?” he asked. “How many boxes are we going to put in?” The country allows foreign visitors to identify as gender-neutral on supporting border documents. The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada spokesperson said the country was also taking steps to allow passport holders to display “other” on their documents. Australia, New Zealand, Nepal and a number of other countries all offer a gender “X” option or some variation, in addition to male and female, on passports.

Putin supports plan to investigate reported abuse of gays Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Russia’s human-rights ombudsman he will speak with law-enforcement officials about the reported torture of gay men in Chechnya. Tatyana Moskalkova asked Putin on May 5 to support her request to form a group in Moscow to investigate the treatment of gays in the southern Russian region. Putin agreed to her proposal for investigating what he called “the well-known information or rumors” about what is happening to people “with a non-traditional sexual orientation.”

The abuse was first reported in April by the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, which said about 100 suspected gay men were rounded up and tortured, and at least three were killed. Putin’s comments reflect how Russian officials have played down the report. Moskalkova earlier said she doubted such abuse took place.

Gay activists detained in Russia at protest against torture Russian police have detained several LGBT-rights activists in St. Petersburg during a protest against the reported abuse of gay men in Chechnya. An Associated Press photographer saw three women being detained during the May 1 protest. The Fontanka.ru news portal reported about 10 detentions in all on Nevsky Prospekt, the city’s central avenue. No official information was available. LGBT activists and others have been alarmed by reports accusing police in Chechnya of detaining and torturing about 100 men suspected of being gay. The predominantly Muslim region in southern Russia is led by Ramzan Kadyrov, whose security forces have long been accused of torture and extrajudicial killings. The activists detained had shouted “Kadyrov to The Hague!” a reference to the International Criminal Court located in the Dutch city. n — compiled by Larry Nichols

Media Trail Nightclub owner details memorial to Pulse victims Orlando Weekly reports the owner of the Florida gay nightclub that was the site of the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history is announcing plans for a memorial at the property. Pulse owner Barbara Poma on May 4 outlined her plans for a memorial at the nightclub where 49 people were killed and dozens more were injured last June. Gunman Omar Mateen was killed in a shootout with police after a three-hour standoff. Poma opened the nightclub in 2004 as a way to honor her brother, who died from AIDS. In the months after the massacre, the city of Orlando proposed buying the club for $2.25 million so it could be turned into a memorial. But Poma ultimately turned down that offer.

Gay-marriage plaintiff urges opposition to Tenn. bill According to ABC News, a legislative push to preserve the “natural and ordinary

meaning” of words in Tennessee law has prompted a visit to the state Capitol by Jim Obergefell, whose landmark U.S. Supreme Court case legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. LGBT-rights groups call the bill awaiting Gov. Bill Haslam’s signature a sneaky way of encouraging state judges to deny rights to same-sex couples when laws use words such as “husband” and “wife” or “father” and “mother.” Obergefell declared at a news conference on May 3 that common decency, American ideals and the U.S. Constitution demand a veto. But Haslam said May 1 that he’s been deferring to the legislature on this bill.

Court: Gay couple’s suit against Kentucky clerk can proceed WKYT.com reports a federal appeals court says a gay couple’s lawsuit seeking damages from a Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue them a marriage license can proceed. Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis refused to issue a marriage license to David Ermold and David Moore in 2015 because she said it violated her religious beliefs. Ermold and Moore sued, along with several other couples. Davis lost and spent five days in jail for refusing to follow a court order. The state legislature passed a law that removed county clerks’ names from licenses. A district judge ruled this satis-

fied Ermold and Moore’s lawsuit and dismissed the case. But they appealed, saying they wanted Davis to pay damages. A federal appeals court ruled May 2 the case could continue.

Man says cremation denied partner because they were gay According to KALB.com, a lawsuit accuses a Mississippi funeral home of going back on an agreement to cremate an 86-year-old man after owners learned that he was gay. According to the Mississippi state court lawsuit, Picayune Funeral Home said paperwork would be handled after Robert Huskey’s body was picked up. It alleges that when his nephew in Colorado sent a form showing John Zawadski as Huskey’s husband, he was told it did not “deal with their kind.” Zawadski said the situation was devastating. The funeral home denied the allegations in court papers. Henrietta Brewer, who owns the funeral home with Ted Brewer, denies she ever spoke the words “deal with their kind” to any of the parties involved. Huskey died May 11, 2016. The lawsuit was filed March 7. Lambda Legal, an LGBT nonprofit, joined it more recently and held a news conference May 2 in a New Orleans suburb with Zawadski, who is 82. n — compiled by Larry Nichols

Writer/activist brings his one-man show to Philly By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com The Philadelphia Theatre Company ends its season with “The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey,” a one-man show written and performed by LGBT activist James Lecesne. The production is based on Lecesne’s acclaimed young-adult novel about the effect a gay teen’s disappearance has on his community. Lecesne is also known for writing the screenplay for the short film “Trevor,” which won an Academy Award and inspired the founding of The Trevor Project, the only nationwide 24-hour suicide-prevention and crisis-intervention lifeline for LGBT youth. In “The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey,” Lecesne portrays nearly a dozen personalities and voices of people who share the life of Leonard, including the detective assigned to investigate his disappearance. Together they form a portrait of a town, which has been unexpectedly inspired by Leonard — a process that

makes the characters question how they live, who they accept and what they leave behind. Lecesne said that playing all the characters is a lot of work but it makes the show more creative from the audience’s perspective. “It’s hard work doing eight shows a week,” he said. “It’s also such fun. One of the things that I get to do is corrupt the brains and imaginations of the audience. In some sense, they become my partner because so much of what’s happening is happening in their imaginations. I’m giving them the prompt to use their brains as the set designer and the costume designer. People seem to be really into it. They like that sort of thing. It’s a different kind of theater than the kind that gives you all the sets and costumes and doo-dads that theater has to offer. But this kind of theater, it becomes interactive almost.” Lecesne said the Leonard story isn’t based on anyone in particular, but the book and the play are reflective of his experi-

ences as an activist. “I could have just based the story on stuff I made up but I was influenced by lots of things that have happened in the world and my experiences as the cofounder of The Trevor Project,” he said. “I’m obviously aware of what happens in the world of young people. Part of it was that I just wanted to address some of the issues that I saw even back then. We encourage young people to be themselves and at the same time sort of keep an eye on them and make them aware of some of the real dangers that are in the world.” A national spotlight was shone on LGBT youth bullying in 2010 and 2011 as the media, in particular, became aware of a spate of LGBT teen suicides, Lecesne noted, which also fueled his work. “I thought maybe there was an opportunity to not only speak to young adults but adults as well, and talk about some of these issues. That’s when I adapted the book into a solo show that I could travel around and do.”

Lecesne said that adapting the book to a one-man show has expanded the audience for his message. “It has a kind of special resonance for young people,” he said. “They really get it and some feel very connected to the story emotionally, in terms of its theme. [The show] has widened the audience that I have been able to reach in terms of this particular issue, which involves not just LGBT kids but all of us. How do we live in a more diverse and accepting society? How do we value people that are on the margins and who may not be immediately seen as valuable?” While the story centers on Leonard, he is one character Lecesne doesn’t take on. His absence makes his story more real to both the other characters and the audience, Lecesne said. “They begin to realize the value that he brought to them, their individual lives and the community, in term of allowing them to be themselves,” he said. “The more that I’m myself, the more PAGE 48

other people feel free to be themselves. It’s sort of contagious, especially now. We need more encouragement to be fully ourselves. In some ways, people have told me, [Leonard] is the most vivid character of all of them because he’s so conjured by the people in the town as they talk about him and their efforts to locate him. His sort-of ghostly presence is in some ways more telling than his real presence because he’s very much alive in the imagination of the audience.” Lecesne said he hopes the adults who see his show will be inspired to recognize the value of the young people in their lives. “So many of the kids that we talk to through The Trevor Project, they are just out there alone without eyes on them,” he said. “And I think that is just crazy that kids that are going through this very difficult period have not that much support out there. Sometimes the kids are feeling outside and alone. One of the things that people have told me that they came away with is a deeper appreciation of diversity and how those aspects enrich our lives. “I hope [audiences] have a good time,” he added, “because it’s funny even though it’s about a very serious topic. People seem to have a good time.” Lecesne said that while performing “Absolute Brightness” is taking up a lot of his energy, he still finds time to work on a new book and his activism. “I’m always cooking up something,” he said. “One of the things I’ve been doing is to be able to spend as much time with young people in the schools and visit-

ing [gay-straight alliances] that are in the schools and hearing from them about what their concerns are. One of the things you find out is every generation is so different; they have such amazing new information about the future because they’re going to be the ones that are making it. I’m really curi-

ous about that and gathering information from them about what their concerns are, and also how I might be able to help them express some of that in public.” n The Philadelphia Theatre Company presents “The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey” May 17-June 4 at Suzanne Roberts Theatre, 480 S.

After a week, I decided it would be a lot easier to work with Ethan and I as performers because it’s a pretty intimate act that I would be hesitant to coach a stranger through. The thing that we do in the film, we had never tried before.” Apparently they enjoyed the experience, as they plan to make more films like “Breakfast in Bed.” “We just relocated our art practice to Berlin where there is a huge audience and community for making queer and experimental porn outside the industry,” Wardwell said. “That’s the direction we’re going to go in film-wise going forward. We’re looking forward to submitting to the festival again.”

Quince St.

The 12th-annual HUMP! Festival, created and curated by out advice columnist and activist Dan Savage, is on the road again, coming to Philadelphia May 12-13. Each year the festival presents an evening of homegrown amateur short porn films, which feature a wide range of body sizes, shapes, ages, colors, sexualities, genders, kinks and fetishes. This year many of the films get a bit political, with several featuring cameos by effigies of Donald Trump and his red Make America Great Again cap. Two out filmmakers, Ty Wardwell and Ethan Folk, steer away from the political with their contribution, titled “Breakfast in Bed.” But the film is sure to stick out among the pack (for reasons we will not go into in print). But you’ll know what we are talking about if and when you see it. Wardwell said he has attended the festival a few times in the past but this is the first time he’s submitted a film to it. “Anything goes, except for kids, poop and animals,” he said about the festival’s content. “So it’s nice to have a place where you can go anywhere and taboos are embraced and encouraged. [Savage] promotes sex positivity and has introduced gay and queer sex to a lot of straight folks. I’ve certainly learned about sexual practices from Dan’s advice column and it’s an opportunity to bring these unfamiliar, experimental or just totally nasty sex practices to a wide audience. It really opens up people’s minds from the turn-on vibe the folks get from these films. Certainly with ‘Breakfast in Bed,’ we encourage people to try this at home.” Wardwell and Folk tried to find perform-

ers for their film but ended up starring in it themselves due to the rather unique nature of the performance. “My filmmaker and art partner Ethan and I wanted to make something short, fun and memorable,” Wardwell said. “I put a cast-

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT PGN LISTINGS

Perfume Genius’ latest album takes new ‘shape’ By A.D. Amorosi PGN Contributor Everything singer/songwriter Mike Hadreas does in the guise of Perfume Genius shimmers. With an angelic, androgynous voice, a set of songs that slides from rubbery electro-dance, glassy piano ballads and gutsy glam rock and lyrics examining his own sexuality and the trauma of homophobia, drug abuse and domestic violence, his is a brutally honest — yet poetic — look at youthful corps d’esprit. Since 2010’s “Learning,” Hadreas has always, by his own account, been angry and pointed fingers. With his dashing, new “No Shape,” however, the eight-years’-sober and involved (with his keyboardist Alan Wyffels, a classically trained pianist he met in group therapy) singer sounds wearier but more triumphant — replacing disgust and anger with an edgy positivity. PGN: You previously brought the vivid sensations of being funny, sad, dramatic and brutally honest to being traumatized as a young gay man. “No Shape” goes the other way and your trauma has subsided. Why now? MH: Why now? I’m not certain of an album’s themes until one’s finished and realized what words I’ve sung a million times. Before “No Shape,” I just got tired of pushing against … everything. Of trying to convince people. Of getting acceptance. I’m even tired of being angry. I kind of just want to just be, you know? So, there’s that. Plus, a lot of the things that I was writing were more immediate, weren’t directed at something in anger or I wasn’t mining my journal for things that needed sorting out or that haven’t healed yet. PGN: That had to be a leap, and one that came unexpectedly to everyone, most of all you — the artistic and the personal you. MH: Yes. This is not a place that I’m used to, that’s easy, because I am not a very present person. I‘d like to be, which is probably why I did this album. I’d like to have a connection with something present. I wish it was easier. I’m just trying to find a way to connect and be OK, be more grateful, bring more warmth to my everyday life while still being as rebellious as everything else in my head. I don’t have it all figured out yet; it is all just a good try at the moment — approaching happiness with a bit of dissonance and discomfort in the music and on the lyrics. PGN: With that, you ask rhetorical questions like, “How long must we live right/ Before we don’t even have to try?” on

“Valley.” Is that you being sarcastic or sincere? MH: A little bit of both. It’s so over the top of an idea that I can’t help but be humorous — but it is my true feelings. It is eight years that I have been sober and with the same man. I haven’t fucked either of those things up, so that is good but it does not feel part of my instincts to stay put, stay somewhere and make good decisions. It is almost a decade of being fairly nice when inside I’m a total dick. PGN: So edgewise, how do you maintain such spikiness in your head and in your work? MH: Edgewise, I’m lucky enough to still be a small, weird outsider-type gay man. I have a boyfriend and a dog but I still have a few things to keep me from being too basic. If I go to therapy, some of the more-basic elements of my real problems come out. Plus, I might be a creative outsider but I am stilI dealing with the same shit as everybody else; I’m just more dramatic than everyone else. With that, there will never be a shortage of ways to build theatricality in my songs. Maybe I can make some demonic chant about doing the dishes. PGN: You end the album with a song called “Alan.” What sort of challenge is it to write about the man you love? MH: Well, he knew it was coming and it was actually quite easy to write, as the music and the lyrics came at the same time, which was weird. He didn’t know I would name it after him. It’s his song too — I wrote it but it is about hm. It is for us, our song. He is part of everything I do. I’m just the guy who gets his photograph taken. At the very least, I can write a song for him. PGN: Is it ever too much responsibility to be, in a way, a spokesman, not just for young gay trauma and restlessness, but for any youth who is troubled? You have become a lifeline. MH: That’s the whole reason I do it, quite frankly. It gives me a feeling of purpose, which is not a feeling I have had ever. I want people to feel how I felt when I heard the music that I loved and empowered me as a weird youth — alone and afraid of my sexuality, my secrets, all of the fucked-up shit that I couldn’t share yet. I didn’t have outlets or a mirror in anyone else, so I had music. Now I write songs for that feeling and welcome all who come to talk to me after shows and such. n Perfume Genius plays May 18 at Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St. For more information or tickets, visit www.utphilly.com.

Lee Squared: An Evening with

The handsomely mounted period piece “A Quiet Passion,” opening May 12 at the Ritz at the Bourse, is gay filmmaker Terence Davies’ gorgeously lit biopic of poet Emily Dickinson. The film chronicles Dickinson (Cynthia Nixon) returning home to Amherst where she tells her father (Keith Carradine) that she wants to write and publish poetry. Davies, who penned the screenplay, concentrates on aspects of Dickinson’s character, from her efforts to write to her friendship with Vryling Buffam (a scene-stealing Catherine Bailey) to her arguments with her brother Austin (Duncan Duff) over his extramarital affair and her prolonged illness. On the phone from Boston, Davies spoke with PGN about beauty, truth, poetry and making “A Quiet Passion.”

Liberace and Miss Peggy Lee David Maiocco and Chuck Sweeney perform as the two style icons 7:30 p.m. May 13 at The Rrazz Room, 6426 Lower York Road, New Hope; 888596-1027.

PGN: What is it about Emily Dickinson that you identify with that made you want to make this film? Was it her rebellious nature? TD: Apart from the poetry, which I love, I felt close to her spiritual course. She was spiritual without being religious. She believed in the soul but not in God. I have that same crisis in my life. She was Episcopalian and I’m Catholic. She had a close family and I come from a large family. She was not recognized in her lifetime. I’m on the periphery of things, and not in the mainstream, which almost feels like being ignored.

Carl Max as Whitney Houston The singer performs 7:30 p.m. May 19 at The Rrazz Room, 6426 Lower York Road, New Hope; 888596-1027.

PGN: How did you choose which poems to include? Did you write the script and then fold in the poetry, or use the poems to create the story arc? TD: It’s a mixture, really. You have to find the arc and once you’ve done that you place the poems, which act like music, and tell you where they go. Sometimes the poems inspire the scene, sometimes the poem fits the scene.

The Weekend The alt-rock band performs 7:30 p.m. May 19 at Boardwalk Hall, 2301 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, N.J.; 609-348-7000. n

PGN: What accounts for the narrative approach you took to telling Dickinson’s life? TD: If the inner life is rich, you don’t have to do things physically. It’s like writing a symphony versus a string quartet, which can be equally powerful in intention and performance. The [Dickinson] house is like a chamber piece. The things that happen take on an enormous importance, and that’s where the richness and drama comes from. She was an ordinary woman who liked to garden, bake and play the piano. But she’s a genius as well, which is what makes ordinary life difficult; [geniuses] can’t charter the waters of ordinary life.

PGN: Many of your films are set in the past. What do you think is the contemporary relevance for a film like “A Quiet Passion”?

TD: Her poetry will be relevant all the time. That’s not something you can address in a film. This is how I saw her life in a subjective way. You hope people read her. I’m a technophobe, so I don’t understand the world now. The more technology takes over, the more it seems like a denial of real life, which is why I feel more secure in the past. PGN: What observations do you have about Emily’s integrity and high standards? TD: Emily had a high moral stance, and if anyone fell below it, she felt it was impossible to forgive them. She’s appalled at what Austin has done; you are not unfaithful to

your wife. The problem with Emily is her standards are so high, there were few who could maintain that standard. She reprimands herself twice because she’s aware of her own faults. She’s told, “Integrity taken too far can be taken as ruthless.” She never thought of that — that taking any virtue too far can become a kind of vice. PGN: Catherine Bailey steals the film as the witty and outspoken Vryling Buffam. What can you say about her character? TD: Vryling Buffam — with a name like that, she had to be fun. I didn’t want the film to be solemn. These were ordinary people, other than Emily who is a genius. Buffam encourages rebellion. Emily is inflexible. But I wanted to make Ms. Buffam fun. When you are entertained by someone, and they teach you something important, you never forget it because they entertained you. PGN: The film is about the beauty of truth and the poetry of the known. Can you explain your interest in truth, beauty and realism? TD: It depends on what truth you are looking for. Narrative truth is not the same as real truth. [In] the search for the truth — dramatically or artistically — you try to say something as honestly as you can. In real life, truth makes enemies and is not the best way forward. Being kind is better than being in the right. That’s a good template. We are all searching for a truth. For artistic truth, you set up an artificial life. They are lies, and you have to believe the lies. Any film has to be true, so those people who like it believe that aesthetic. But the people who don’t believe won’t — that’s the drawback. n

Suzi Nash

Ram Krishnan: Cocktails and conversations, with a worldly perspective “A room without books is like a body without a soul.” — Cicero If you haven’t been yet, there’s a lovely little spot just a half-block from William Way LGBT Community Center that has both books and soul. It’s called Writer’s Block Rehab and no, it’s not a recovery facility: It’s a lovely little bar opened up by this week’s Portrait, Ram Krishnan. PGN: So I‘ve read your bio and, among other things, you have been a world-travel consultant, industrial engineer, mural purveyor, engineer, IT consultant and bar owner. Mr. Krishnan, who are you? RK: [Laughs] I’m Ram Krishnan and I came here from India to pursue my MBA at Drexel. I work at Comcast now as a systems architect but over the years I’ve mostly worked as an IT consultant all around the world. As I was influenced by different parts of the world, I always brought back a little piece to Philadelphia so the mural love is because of Philadelphia; I had a large mural of Nelson Mandela painted on the side of my house. The food and cocktail love is from traveling to so many different countries. Who I am is a combination of many things from around the world but Philly is home. PGN: Where are you originally from? RK: South of India, in Bangalore. It’s a big IT capital now but when I left India it was the Garden City. Just the most beautiful city, very laidback and relaxed. People had a love for life, but it’s a completely different city now; I barely recognize it. PGN: Describe your family. RK: I have an older sister in Houston with two little boys; I guess not so little now because the oldest is going to college. My parents still live in India but they come a lot to the U.S. A lot of my cousins live in the U.S. too. PGN: What did your parents do? RK: My dad did manufacturing engineering, much like I did in India. He helped run a bunch of factories and these days he writes books about optimization and quality control and zero waste. He’s very much into that ideology. My mother was a homemaker and had a daycare at home so I grew up around a lot of kids all the time. Hence, no kids. No, I’m just kidding. I love kids. PGN: Did all those kids make you a people person? RK: No, growing up I was a very introverted child. I was definitely not a social butterfly. I was very awkward except around my friends; with them I was a strong leader. I had a little gang and we’d climb trees and get into mischief. But when I went to Drexel I began to open up; school gave me my

identity in many ways. In India, it’s very hard to have your own point of view — it’s very much a collective there; you’re part of the community and you try to conform as much as possible and live by the speed of India. At Drexel, I had much more freedom to express myself as a well-thought-out person. It’s so funny how life changes you and your personality. When I began to work as a consultant traveling around the world, I was really forced to socialize and talk to people. When you’re on the road, if you don’t want to be lonely in a hotel room, you have to make friends at bars and learn to talk to people. So the last 18 years of my life, my personality has been completely different than it was before. Now I give lectures in front of hundreds of people without any fear. PGN: What was one of your best travel moments? RK: A recent one was Peru, just seeing how resilient those people are. After being so long under Spanish rule, which tried to erase their history, they persisted and have come back even stronger. And they are such beautiful people with humble souls. I also worked in South Africa for almost two years and that had a big impact on me. Again, a new country that is vibrant with happy, resilient people. Everyone had an exuberance about them and optimism about making the country work. I really admired that. PGN: What are some of the misconceptions that people have about India? RK: We try to identify countries by what we see in the media, right? India on one hand gets an image for being exotic. What was that movie? “Eat, Pray, Love,” where she went to India and found her soul and ran naked and sang a song — that cultish, yoga mindset. And then you have other people who think of India as being nothing but poor people and slums. But like any country, those are extremes. With a population of 1.3 billion, you’re going to see great wealth and great poverty. To me the soul of India is struggle; we’ve had almost every country in the world come through India at some point: the Greeks, the Romans, the Turks, the Mongols, the French, the British. Everyone’s taken a piece of India but what’s great about us is that we tend to forgive and forget and move on. The good side is that we’ve been influenced by a lot of cultures. Our cuisine has been very impacted by it. The cuisine you see in restaurants here is just a drop in the bucket, just like the food you would find in Chinatown is completely different from what you’d find in China. Every state in India has completely different food, different clothing, architecture, linguistics. If I’m at home and go to a different state, usually English is the only language I can use to communicate. But I love the Indian attitude: We are a people that generally are not aligned with anyone. As a coun-

try we try to stay out of wars, we just try to work hard and stay humble. Even the poorest man in India will split his food with the person next to him or to a little dog on the street. It’s amazing. PGN: Speaking of amazing, tell me about opening the bar. RK: Well, if you talk to any of my friends, they’ll tell you it’s a dream I’ve talked about for 15 years. I’ve always felt a kind of peace when I’ve been in a bar. When you’re on the road and you’re by yourself, bars and restaurants are really the only place to find some sort of social life. It’s a way to go for a few moments and forget about work and just have a drink and listen to music or watch TV and meet people. Then when I started coming out, the bars in Philly were a refuge for me. I knew no one but the bartenders were always such lovely people and I would talk to them about all kinds of things; straight guys didn’t care if I was gay, they were just happy to have a pleasant customer who tipped them well. I always felt that I

wanted to open a place that would be a safe space for others, people of all types — a place where people could actually talk to each other. PGN: So how would you describe Writer’s Block? RK: I would describe it as the most amazing place in the world. [Laughs] I’m kidding, but I think I have created a warm, welcoming, comfortable place, a space where you can come by yourself or with a group of

people and the focus is on the customers and hospitality. The whole library idea is to entice people to talk. I wanted to create an intelligent space, a place that brings a diverse group of people together. I mean, liquor and books and music are something that connect all of us together. PGN: I love the globe chandelier. RK: I made that! I always imagined a library with lots of globes, but this place is so small I didn’t know where to put them, so I made them into a lighting fixture. I’m very proud because I’m not a crafty person at all! PGN: What’s a highlight moment as a bar owner? RK: Just the physical aspect of the bar means a lot to me. I designed it all myself. I love seeing people’s faces when they see the place for the first time and their eyes light up. I now understand how people who create art feel. It’s exciting and fun. There’s also such a sense of accomplishment to know that I’ve done what I set out to do 15 years back and that I was able to do it on my own terms. I didn’t have to take on a partner, I got to do it my way. It took much longer that way but it’s allowed me to create my vision, which was never just to open a bar: It was to create the kind of place I would want to go to. There are plenty of sports bars and neighborhood bars but I wanted someplace different: a swanky cocktail space. Philly has wonderful bars but most of them are food-centric so when you go there, you have to buy food, you can’t just sit there and enjoy a cocktail because they want to turn tables. I wanted a place where I can go with friends or colleagues and just enjoy cocktails and conversation without TV screens blasting sports scores or news. Don’t get me wrong, I love those places too, I just wanted a different choice for people. There’s room for all in this Photo: Suzi Nash city. PGN: Tell me about coming out. RK: Like a lot of Indian families, my parents spent a lot of time introducing me to different women and I would meet them and date them and gave it my best shot. A lot of it was that I was afraid that being gay would affect my career, my life as I knew it. In Indian culture, everyone is sort of sexually fluid, much like the Greeks and Romans: Guys fool PAGE 56

PORTRAIT from page 55

around with guys, girls with girls but no one puts a name on it. But when I came to America and discovered the word “gay,” that scared me. I was like, “I can’t do anything to label myself ‘gay,’ I just can’t.” When you give it a name, it’s then a thing. So I started dating women and I enjoyed it. They were all beautiful people. I was even engaged to a girl and we were going to get married. I really liked her a lot — I’d even say loved — but the more I thought about it, I realized I didn’t want to affect someone’s life because I was copping out because I was scared. It wasn’t her burden to carry so I called the wedding off. Soon after, I was working on an IT project and one of my team members was a Dutch guy. He was a proud gay man, super successful in his career, and for the first time it gave me confidence that you could be out and proud in a corporate environment. I was working for large companies like IBM, etc., who talked the talk about equality but in reality I saw LGBT colleagues get second-class treatment. But this guy was fearless and respected and it gave me the confidence to come out. Mind you, this was, like, 14 years ago; the corporate scene is much better now. PGN: And I understand that you’re a married man now. How did you meet your hubby? RK: A few years after I came out, I went to a party in New York. It was a big party for South Asian gay men and I really didn’t want to go. [Laughs] I wasn’t into Indian guys. My type was anything but — Caucasian, African-American, anything that was the opposite of me. But my friends dragged me to the party. Towards the end of the night, I saw Akshay, and the moment we met I could feel that it was something bigger than me; there was a palpable sense of electricity in the air. I still can’t articulate how I felt, but we immediately connected. I extended my stay in New York and we started dating. It was long distance for a while because of all my traveling but three years ago we decided to put down roots in Philly, get married and open a bar! PGN: Nice. Tell me about the wedding. RK: It was fun. The whole thing was pretty much unplanned. A week before, we decided to do it and we rented a horse and carriage for the day. Our friends started showing up and we ended up blocking off the street and had an impromptu block party. We had a drummer and a person doing henna, and we were really nervous because we didn’t have a permit to shut the street, we just did it. But all our neighbors came out and danced and it was so much fun! We ended up with over 100 people showing up and it became a three-day Bollywood event. It was nuts! PGN: A favorite author? RK: Rakesh Stayal. He wrote a book called “Blue Boy” which, for me, was very important because it’s about a gay

PGN

child trying to come out in Sri Lanka. It’s a beautiful, well-written book and we’re trying to get him here for a book signing. He was just at Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago for his new book, “No One Can Pronounce My Name.” PGN: What do you think your role is as a business philanthropist? RK: For me, I think it’s important to get involved with the community as a whole, not just the gay community. I feel very connected with the city and feel it’s important that as a business owner I give back. I think gay businesses in this community need to start playing a larger role. A friend is starting a summer camp for girls from underserved communities; it’s such a great cause, we’re doing a fundraiser. It’s also important not just to give money but to get out there — help clean streets, plant trees, organize a safety patrol. There is so much more we can be doing beyond sponsoring a float in the Pride parade. Too often, people are focused on the net revenue; of course, that’s important, but we also need to find ways to be more useful to our communities. I love the fact that all different types of people come to our bar: gay, straight, all walks of life. We had an older straight couple here who were fascinated to find two gay brown men married to each other. We had a great conversation. To me, our bars should almost be like community centers. Places like New York and Philadelphia are meccas for people coming out. We get people from across the country who leave home and travel to a city like ours so they can be themselves. We should be ready with open arms. We owe it to them and to ourselves to be interesting and diverse, and welcoming. PGN: What are some of the new ideas happening at the bar? RK: We’re going to start serving brunch on weekends and we’re going to have a full coffee shop soon with espressos, tea and kombucha. We want this to be a flex space where people can come here during the day and work. We’ll have super-fast Internet available for everyone and then you can transition right into cocktail hour if you want! We’re excited about the new frozen cocktail machine that should be arriving soon. We pride ourselves on the innovative drink menu here and that will just add to it. We’re going to start entertaining book clubs and book signings here and looking forward to having a young writers’ series in the near future. We’re also going to start doing wine and whiskey school nights on Tuesdays so people can learn and drink. There’s going to be something special each night here at Writer’s Block! n For more information about Writer’s Block Rehab, visit https://www.facebook.com/ writersblockrehab/.

DINING PGNOUT

Philadelphia Gay News www.epgn.com May 12-18, 2017

Wahlburgers fires up the Piazza By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Yeah, we had our doubts. Another fast-casual burger chain? Founded by the family with two famous pop/TV/ movie stars in its ranks? And the basis for a reality TV show? [Insert hype-weary derisive eye-roll here.] With the chain opening up a massive location at The Piazza at Schmidt’s, we thought we’d give Wahlburgers a shot to see if it can live up to the hype. And for the most part, it did. Like every other burger joint/bar on the scene, Wahlburgers makes a big deal about fresh meat, fresh ingredients and house-made condiments. But Wahlburgers seems to edge out the competition on a few fronts, mostly by making a damned tasty burger. But first let’s talk about the sides (all $3.50 each). They offer fries, sweet-potato tots and tater tots, but the onion rings — thin slivers of red onions, lightly battered tempura-style and perfectly crisp — really stand out as a welcome break from what most of us are used to in deepfried onion land. If you want something more picnic-like, Alma’s Classic Macaroni ($5.95) is a refreshing macaroni salad with chopped red onion, sweet peppers, celery and parsley. If you order it, hopefully they’ll ask you if you want it like the employees take it, with some house-made Buffalo sauce on the side. The answer is, yes you do. The Buffalo sauce is spicy liquid perfection. (Wahlburgers, please bottle the stuff.) The Mac n’ Cheese ($4.95) with Smoked Bacon is another winner, with hearty chunks of bacon and great texture. The burger selection ranges from the traditional to the decadent-bordering-on-outrageous. The latest addition to the arsenal is the seasonal Bahn Mi Burger (available through Memorial Day), a turkey burger topped with cucumbers, sriracha mayo, cilantro, jalapeños and kimchi. And while it definitely has the crunch of a bahn mi, the flavor is somewhat lacking. To its credit, the turkey-burger patty itself is killer, juicy and flavorful — thanks, we guess, to the fact that it’s cooked in bacon fat. The problem was the turkey burger stood out because the spicy kick anyone who has ever eaten a bahn mi burger woould expect was noticeably muted, if not absent, from the sandwich. Kimchi, jalapeños and sriracha on a sandwich should at the very least make you sweat, and it didn’t even come close. More successful was the Invincible Burger ($9.95), a half-pound of beef topped with bacon, sharp provolone, caramelized onions and a balsamic glaze on a pretzel bun. Everything about this burger is meaty carnivore nirvana. So basically we owe Mrs. Wahlberg an apology. We thought, because your offspring helped to create insufferable entertainment like the “Transformers” and “Saw” movie sequels, that it reflected negatively on you and your townie kinfolk’s ability to make a quality hamburger. We were wrong. Please pass the onion rings. n

Proud supporter of

Families Come In Many Different Forms Pennsylvania now offers same sex couples the same marriage benefits afforded to heterosexual couples, which includes provisions to dissolve civil unions, domestic partnerships and same sex marriages, whether or not the ceremony/license occurred in Pennsylvania or elsewhere. As a result, same-sex married couples are now subject to the same laws as heterosexual married couples; which means they can take advantage of the many benefits associated with marriage, as well as be subject to the same obligations that accompany marriage. Stark & Stark’s Family Law group helps two-parent families, same-sex couples, single parents, multi-generational families, foster families and those related not by blood, but by love.

Regardless of the form the family takes, our first concern is to achieve security for all families and to put the interests of the children first. Our goal is to develop creative and effective solutions to protect LGBT families in partnership, estate planning, adoption, and parentage matters. Our family law attorneys are well known and respected in this field. Our broad experience in this and other areas of family law helps ensure that our clients’ rights are well-protected in agreements and documents that we draft or negotiate. Our reputation and experience in the field and our willingness to take contested matters to trial often enables us to obtain favorable settlements for our clients.
