Bill banning conversion therapy awaiting mayor’s signature

Weiss testifies in D.A.’s corruption trial By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Michael Weiss, a local LGBT business owner who lavished gifts on Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth Williams, testified this week during Williams’ ongoing corruption trial. Weiss testified under a grant of immunity. Federal prosecutors say Williams requested many gifts from Weiss. In return, Weiss received favors from Williams relating to Weiss’ various legal problems. In his testimony, Weiss denied giving any bribes to Williams. “I don’t believe I bribed anybody,” Weiss testified. Weiss co-owns Woody’s Bar, a popular LGBT venue in the Gayborhood. Prosecutors allege that between 2012-15, Weiss gave Williams gifts including a used Jaguar, cash payments and trips to vacation spots. In return, Williams appointed Weiss as “special advisor” to the D.A.’s Office, helped Weiss obtain a police accident report for a friend and sent letters on behalf of Weiss relating to Weiss’ tax problems. Williams even let Weiss and his boyfriend drive a city-owned car a short distance in New Jersey, while the two men attended a party in Wildwood, according to prosecutors. Weiss testified that he eventually became concerned that Williams was requesting too much from him. Weiss said he told his brother Billy, “We’ve got to stop this. We’ve put enough into this friendship.” Weiss and his brother loaned Williams more than $2,000, but never received repayment, Weiss said. But Williams did offer to serve as a “celebrity bartender” to help repay the loans, Weiss testified. Weiss also testified he thought the Jaguar he gave Williams would be used by Williams’ girlfriend or her father. “I was taken aback, extremely upset [to learn PAGE 16 Williams kept it for him-

PROTESTERS GATHERED OUTSIDE SEN. PAT TOOMEY’S OFFICE JUNE 22 FOR THE BEGINNING OF A 24-HOUR VIGIL TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE SENATOR TO OPPOSE THE REPUBLICAN-LEAD HEALTH-CARE BILL. Photo: Scott A. Drake

As health-care debate wages, activists put the pressure on Toomey By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com “Rain or shine, day or night. Health care is a human right.” Protesters chanted in front of Sen. Pat Toomey’s Philadelphia office despite the early-morning rain June 23. The activists camped out overnight as part of a 24-hour vigil to protest Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell’s new healthcare bill. The legislation would repeal the Affordable Care Act, cutting funding to Medicaid and other programs. Jose DeMarco, a member of HIV/AIDSactivism group ACT UP Philadelphia, said he was “exhausted” after camping out overnight and only took a two-hour nap. However, he noted this form of protest will bring attention to the issue. “I stayed out all night mainly for people with HIV and AIDS that probably couldn’t attend themselves and to send a point to the rest of the world that these Medicaid cuts are going to be the death of many people,” DeMarco told PGN. “There needs to be a lot of attention

brought to this issue. People need to be getting angry. I don’t think just staying out all night may change anything but hopefully this will bring a lot of attention to the issue and let people know that people are willing to stay out in the street all night to stop this bill.” DeMarco spoke at the first of two rallies during the June 22 portion of the vigil. The queer HIV-positive activist told more than 150 protesters he has been using HIV treatments for more than 20 years to stay alive. He said he had a bottle of medication in his pocket that costs $2,300, and that many people would not have access to such medications if the Republican health-care bill moves forward. “I’m a person of color and in this country, I have no other choice but to see everything through these lenses,” DeMarco added. “When America has a cold, black America gets pneumonia. I’m just really angry that we’ve come this far fighting this disease and these people are going to set us back.” The Rev. Dr. William Barber, president PAGE 17 of the North Carolina

City Council last week unanimously passed a bill to ban conversion therapy for minors. The bill would prohibit “the practice of conversion therapy by mental-health providers on patients under 18 years of age, under certain terms and conditions.” Those who violate the bill would face a $2,000 fine and the revocation of their commercial licenses. Additionally, repeat offenders will be subject to a minimum $1,000 fine, up to 90 days of imprisonment or both. Councilman Mark Squilla introduced the bill in December and the Committee on Public Health and Human Services unanimously approved it earlier this month. Squilla told PGN he introduced the bill after seeing LGBT individuals being treated as if they had a mental disorder. “We believed it was necessary to introduce the bill to exclude minors from that process against their will to go through some type of conversion therapy,” Squilla said. “We looked at it as a form of abuse and I believed that as a progressive city [like] Philadelphia, we would take the forefront and not permit it to happen. “It shows the welcoming nature of our city, that we are understanding and that people have the right to feel comfortable in their own shoes and to be who they are,” Squilla added. “We’re not going to force anybody to be any different at that. We stand up for all of the people in the city of Philadelphia.” The bill is currently awaiting Mayor Jim Kenney’s signature before it takes effect. Kenney was not immediately available for comment but voiced support of the bill when it was introduced. Squilla said the mayor is still “strongly in favor” of the bill. Conversion therapy is currently banned in eight states, with Pittsburgh being the first cityin Pennsylvania to ban the practice last year. Legislation was also introduced in Allentown to ban the practice earlier this month. n

School district seeks dismissal of trans antibias suit, citing Trump guidance By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com Public-school officials in Minersville recently asked that a trans student’s antibias case be dismissed, citing Trump administration educational guidance that stops short of recommending gender-appropriate restroom access for trans students. “A.H.” is a third-grade student at Minersville Elementary School. She’s requesting a clear policy within the Minersville Area School District, ensuring that trans students have access to gender-appropriate restrooms. Minersville is located about 75 miles northwest of Philadelphia. In response to pro-trans guidance from the Obama administration last year, Minersville school-district officials allowed A.H. to use girls’ restrooms. However, in March, A.H.’s mother filed a federal civil-rights suit, requesting a permanent district-wide equal-access policy for trans students. On June 13, district officials filed a 12-page request for A.H’s suit to be dismissed. In the filing, district officials emphasized that A.H. has been permitted to use girls’ restrooms. “The facts even as pled by plaintiff suggest that the district made every reasonable effort to accommodate plaintiff,” school-district officials maintain. But district officials also note that the Trump administration in February issued “guidance rollback,” altering previous protrans educational guidance from the Obama administration. “[T]here simply is no legal basis to support a [federal] claim against defendants for alleged transgender discrimination,” the June filing states.

“Also, the district agreed to receive education and training on various topics including transgender student and bathroom policies ... The district’s voluntary agreement to the training is further evidence of its willingness to accommodate A.H. and her needs.” Neither side had a comment for this story. Justin F. Robinette, a local civil-rights attorney, said trans students face an “uphill battle” for access to gender-appropriate facilities under the Trump administration. “In June, the Trump administration issued revised educational guidance, which notes that trans students may have some federal protections — but not necessarily access to gender-appropriate restrooms,” Robinette told PGN. “While the Trump administration’s revised guidance doesn’t explicitly oppose equal-access rights for trans students, the Trump administration rolled back Obama’s pro-trans guidance pending further consideration. This means it’s going to be an uphill battle for trans students to convince a judge or jury of their federal equal-access rights, and also that school districts right now won’t lose federal funding if they refuse to provide gender-appropriate facilities.” Robinette also questioned the assertion by district officials that they’ve attended trans-inclusive sensitivity training. “That seems disingenuous at best, because district officials won’t do the right thing and enact a trans-inclusive equal-access policy,” Robinette added. “Whatever training district officials underwent couldn’t have been that successful, without a policy.” As of presstime, the school district’s request for dismissal of A.H.’s suit remained pending with U.S. District Judge Robert D. Mariani. If the case is permitted to move forward, a jury trial is expected to take place in July 2018. n

Trial date set in trans disability case By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com A December trial date has been set in the case of Kate Lynn Blatt, a Pottsville trans woman who claims her former employer discriminated against her due to her gender dysphoria. Blatt, 36, alleges Cabela’s Retail Inc. committed disability discrimination when denying her access to a gender-appropriate name tag and restroom. She’s seeking more than $150,000 in damages. Cabela’s tried to have Blatt’s disability claim tossed out, noting that the Americans with Disabilities Act excludes coverage for “gender-identity disorders.” The ADA protects people with disabilities from discrimination in private employment, public accommodations and governmental services. But in May, U.S. District Judge Joseph F. Leeson Jr. ruled that Blatt’s disability claim

can move forward because Blatt reportedly suffers from gender dysphoria, a medical condition that isn’t explicitly excluded from ADA coverage. Blatt also has retaliation and sex-discrimination claims pending against Cabela’s. Between September 2006 and March 2007, Blatt worked at Cabela’s outlet in Hamburg as a seasonal stocker. After she complained of mistreatment, Cabela’s retaliated by firing her, Blatt alleges. Cabela’s is a retail chain that specializes in outdoor sports items. Jury selection is tentatively set for 10 a.m. Dec. 26 at the U.S. Court House in Center City. After a jury is selected, the trial will take place at the U.S. Court House in Allentown, according to court records. Neither side had a comment for this story. Justin F. Robinette, a local civil-rights attorney, said the Blatt case has “important legal implications” for the LGBT community. PAGE 16

Mayor signs bill combatting racism, discrimination

ADVOCACY IN ACTION: Mayor Jim Kenney was surrounded by community advocates and lawmakers June 22 as he signed a bill into law that will strengthen the city’s LGBTinclusive Fair Practices Ordinance. Councilman Derek Green’s legislation will allow the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations to issue cease-and-desist orders to businesses found to be in violation of the nondiscrimination law. Green said the bill was a result of ongoing allegations of racial discrimination in the Gayborhood. Photo: Scott A. Drake

By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com Mayor Jim Kenney performed a ceremonial signing for a bill last Thursday that will strengthen penalties for local businesses that discriminate. This bill amends the Fair Practices Ordinance by giving the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations authority to issue cease-and-desist orders to businesses violating the LGBTinclusive nondiscrimination ordinance. Councilman Derek S. Green introduced the bill in November after attending a fall PCHR hearing at which members of the community addressed issues of racism in the Gayborhood. Additionally, he told PGN in April that he also learned by “reading various news accounts and talking to other friends and contacts in the LGBTQ community about this issue.” Green said it was “an honor” to be in attendance at the bill signing in City Hall’s Reception Room and thanked the activists “who kept this issue at the forefront — from the Black & Brown Workers Collective to Ernest Owens.” “Sometimes we need an additional push to keep these issues on the forefront and they have done that,” Green said. “They will continue to do that.” PCHR Executive Director Rue Landau clarified during the signing that the commission would only “use this authority under egregious circumstances.” “This remedy is squarely in line with the enforcement mechanisms already invested by the commission and the Fair Practices Ordinance,” Landau said. City Director of LGBT Affairs Amber

Hikes thanked Green for his leadership on this issue. “At its best, this is what effective government looks like: identifying the issue that’s affecting their constituents, listening to their experiences and developing a policy to protect and improving the quality of their lives moving forward,” Hikes said. “This policy says to its constituencies, ‘We see you, we hear you’ and we’re willing to roll up our sleeves and get to work.” Hikes noted how the Office of LGBT Affairs recently raised a new rainbow flag featuring black and brown stripes to symbolize the LGBT community’s racial diversity. She said she “couldn’t be prouder of the city and its residents for pioneering long-overdue conversation and elevating the voices and experiences of our most marginalized community members.” “That flag was a promise from the city of substantive changes to come and this bill is one of those substantive changes,” Hikes added. “So let me be clear from this point forward: Businesses that violate this ordinance will not pass under the radar as they continue unlawful business practices.” Kenney added that the current presidential administration is “empowering people to hate.” “We will come out of that tunnel and back into the light and hopefully we will be a better country for it,” Kenney said before vacating the podium to sign the bill. In addition to Green’s bill, Kenney signed Councilman Kenyatta Johnson’s bill, “Ethnic Intimidation and Institutional Vandalism.” Johnson introduced this bill in May to increase penalties for vandalism of individual headstones and grave markers. n

Local law firm wins IBA’s Business Integrity Award for LGBT-inclusive practices By Jeremy Rodriguez jeremy@epgn.com The Greater Philadelphia’s LGBT chamber of commerce presented an award this week to a member business that promotes LGBT-inclusive policies toward customers, employees and the community. Law firm Berner Klaw & Watson received the Business Integrity Award at the Independence Business Alliance’s annual meeting Monday. “Every year we get a number of high-quality applicants and this one was selected by a committee of IBA members and folks from Integrity Staffing Solutions,” said IBA Executive Director Zach Wilcha. “They found that their commitments to the LGBT community, not just for this year but for the past decade and a half or so, was one that really stood out. The proof is in the work that they do.” Judy Stouffer, Berner Klaw & Watson’s law firm administrator, submitted the winning application. “The one thing I did say that we are really firm on is making sure that anybody who wants to work with us understands that we have a strong LGBTQIA practice and that we don’t want anybody to treat our clients any differently,” said Stouffer, who accepted the award alongside attorneys Jennifer Dumin and Stephanie Stecklair. “That goes for Catholic, Jewish, black, white — no discrimination whatsoever in who we represent.” In the application, Stouffer noted the firm’s hiring practices. While interview-

ing applicants for a part-time paralegal position this year, Stouffer had the firm’s senior paralegal and new partner sit in on the interviews with her. “After the first few interviews, one of them asked why I always made sure to mention our LGBTQ practice area,” Stouffer wrote in the application. “That answer is simple: We really don’t want anyone working for us who is unaccepting of any member of the LGBTQIA community. It is not uncommon to get a ‘Thanks for the opportunity to interview, but no thanks’ e-mail from those who I suspect are intolerant.” Stouffer noted that while she likes to think they had an LGBT person on staff at all times, there have been gaps. One of those employees was the openly gay Tom P. Rush, who died from AIDS in 1998. The firm’s partners, Joni Berner and Margaret Klaw, organized and paid for Rush’s memorial service since he did not have family in Pennsylvania or family who accepted him. “He continues to be sorely missed by those of us who remember working with him,” Stouffer wrote. Stouffer said the firm currently has one openly gay female attorney on the nine-person staff. “BKW’s family-law practice is proud to have helped and to continue to help LGBTQ individuals with their legal issues,” Stouffer wrote. “Years ago, it was more common to see potential clients who wanted to separate from the life they felt pressured to live by their families and/or

society. They generally called us once the kids were grown and the individual was ready to ‘come out.’” Additionally, firm representatives serve on boards for Mazzoni Center, write on LGBT issues for the Legal Intelligencer and host events in LGBT-inclusive venues. “In today’s day and age, it is unfortunate that not only businesses, but individuals, are unaccepting of the LGBTQ community and others,” Stouffer wrote. “We must

band together because an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. We hope our minority (women-owned) business, who loudly and proudly supports the LGBTQ community, sets an example for all.” In addition to the award, IBA announced Marc Coleman, Diana Lu, Jone Magagna, Brian McGinnis and Tiffany Newmuis as new board members. Rosalind Sutch and Mary Sparacino were elected as vice president and secretary, respectively. n

HIV/AIDS still needs our energy and attention On June 27, we marked National HIV Diseases, in a press release noting the Testing Day, a federally designated event change.

I found it to be a heartbreaking S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National and well-reported account of the many Institute of Allergy and Infectious factors, and failures, that have contributed

On Being Well

to alarming rates of HIV/AIDS infection among black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the Southern United States. Villarosa concluded that “35 years of neglect, compounded by poverty and inadequate local health-care infrastructure, have left too many black gay and bisexual men falling through a series of safety nets.” The piece vividly underscored that there are still significant disparities that exist around HIV/AIDS and race, and they have devastating consequences — not just in the South but around the country. Also on my mind is a June 16 opinion piece in Newsweek, authored by Scott A. Schoettes, detailing why he and five of his colleagues resigned from the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/ AIDS this month. Among the reasons were the removal of the Office of National AIDS Policy website, which happened the day President Trump took office. Trump’s failure to appoint a leader for the White House Office of National AIDS Policy is an even more critical point, he argued. It’s not simply that the current administration has failed to prioritize the fight against HIV/AIDS, but it has actively promoted policies that threaten the advances and evidence-based policies that are already in place — and officials insist on repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, eliminating funding for programs critical to the health and well-being of low- and middle-income Americans. The changes to Medicaid outlined in the American Health Care Act — such as defunding Medicaid expansion, imposing limits on benefits an individual could receive and/or funding the program

through block grants to states — “would be particularly devastating for people living with HIV,” Schoettes noted, given that more than 40 percent of people with HIV receive care through Medicaid. It’s clear that, in order to effectively reduce and ultimately eliminate HIV infection in the United States, and specifically to reach the populations that are most heavily impacted, we must be willing to acknowledge and address the multiple factors that contribute to higher risk: including poverty, restricted health-care access, unemployment, lack of education, social stigma and the institutional racism that underlies many of these issues. We can’t afford to turn back the momentum and the gains that have been made, nor can we ignore the stark disparities that exist around HIV/AIDS in the United States today. And while the issues outlined above may seem overwhelming, there are many ways that each of us can make a difference. It could mean making your voice heard by contacting an elected official about proposed health-care reform, showing up at a rally for trans women of color, taking a friend to get tested for HIV or spreading the word about PrEP and programs that allow many people to access it free of charge. In honor of National HIV Testing Day, make a pledge to move things forward in your own way. n Mazzoni Center offers an array of HIV care and services, including medical care and supportive services for people regardless of insurance status, free rapid-testing services, as well as navigation services for people interested in learning more about PrEP.

America’s newest museum recognizes LGBTs in our revolution By Mark Segal PGN Publisher

PGN’s Summer Fun Issue July 7

America’s newest museum, Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, does something quite revolutionary: It recognizes the LGBT community as having played a part of that revolution. And it does so with several exhibits. This may seem strange to point out, as LGBT people have been a part of every facet of life and war throughout history — and at times the major historical players, from Alexander the Great to World War II codebreaker Alan Turing. But up until now, you might have thought that LGBT people were invisible at the founding of the United States, and had no role in our country winning its independence. Thanks to this museum, that notion ends here and now. In addition to lauding the community’s historical efforts, another of the museum’s themes is that the revolution continues; we still have work to do. As Dr. Philip Mead, the museum’s director of curatorial affairs and chief historian, states: “We’re so pleased to have a story of the American Revolution here that we hope includes all Americans and messages for people around the world.” Here’s how LGBT media played a part in getting that story to the museum. It’s a rare experience when you actually get to see something that you’re passionate about take root. It’s even more special when academics in the field run with that material, embrace it and make it a major point of their own project. What the museum has done is a great leap in LGBT history. Those involved are well aware of that and embrace it, maybe more than me. And I just love when those who join the march begin to lead it or add to it to create discussion. So what has me so euphoric? It’s a story that goes back about six years. I was watching a TV talk show on which LGBT rights were being debated when a conservative on the panel stated something to the effect of, “When our founding fathers created this nation, they didn’t have those [LGBT] people in mind.” Well, this angered me and, as you’d expect, became a challenge. In response to that TV show, I pitched a project entitled “We Are America,” as part of the LGBT History Project I coordinate that appears in numerous newspapers around the country each October. We commissioned writers and began research on LGBT people who were instrumental to the cause of the Revolutionary War. In our research, there was one character who stood out and fascinated me. His name was Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. He was a brilliant and somewhat flamboyant military genius. I read almost everything that I could find on the web and then the wonderful and revealing biogra-

phy “The Drillmaster of Valley Forge.” The book was written by Paul Lockhart, who at this point most would say is the foremost expert on von Steuben and a teacher of military history. Von Steuben was outrageous and he was going to be my contribution to the project — never did I expect how passionate I’d become about him earning his rightful place in history. Why von Steuben? Simply, his being acknowledged as a gay man would bring about major change in the way we look at the founding of this country. Without von Steuben, there would be no United States

ject as Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and Adams and many others. The project of explaining von Steuben’s impact became so big and touched on so many founding fathers that we had to break it into various segments: a piece on Franklin, another on Washington and so on. Here in quick order is a short version of part of the von Steuben story: In the late 1700s, von Steuben had a somewhat-celebrated military leadership career in the various German states, though at numerous times he was accused of having sex with his male recruits. He never denied

of America, and that means a gay man was a founding father. If we could prove that the founding fathers knew he was gay, then the founding fathers not only had us in mind when founding this country, but also expected us to have equality, or what could pass for equality at that time. Clearly, one of those equality points was the issue of gays in the military. For that is where von Steuben and founding father Benjamin Franklin come in. Never did we expect that in our research we’d find such names touching on the sub-

the allegations, but did leave (escape) those countries before he could be charged or arrested. He arrived in Paris hoping to impress the Continental Congress’ ambassador to the Court of Louie XVI, Benjamin Franklin, and get a commission in the Continental Army commanded by George Washington. At the first meeting, Franklin was unimpressed. Von Steuben left Paris, but another scandal brought him back. Von Steuben and his friends — connected either to the court of Louie XVI or to Franklin — asked Franklin to have another meet-

ing with von Steuben, knowing of those scandals and the chances that he could be arrested in Paris if he did not escape Europe. Franklin met with von Steuben and agreed on the plan to escape, but not before von Steuben went shopping and enlisted an entourage. How could one not find him fascinating? There can be little doubt here that Franklin, the Bill Gates of his day and a major celebrity in Paris at that time, with spies at his disposal, would not have known of von Steuben’s “problems.” This makes Franklin the father of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Before von Steuben boarded his boat, he ordered fine, new special uniforms made with epaulets and medals, found a personal staff and, just to look like royalty, brought along a couple of dogs. He was then smuggled out of Paris on a ship that had munitions for the Continental Army, along with letters of introduction to Washington and Congress by Franklin. The ship arrived in New England, and von Steuben met members of the Adams family and John Hancock before heading to meet Congress, and then on to Valley Forge to meet Washington. It was at Valley Forge that von Steuben pulled together Washington’s rag-tag Continental Army and began to make them into a cohesive, collective force. He taught them to drill, created a regulation book (which continued to be used by U.S. military until the war of 1812), instituted standards of sanitation and became Washington’s chief of staff. Today, there are few, if any, professional historians who would doubt that von Steuben was gay. In our research, we unearthed correspondence among members of the Adams family regarding the subject. The whispers about von Steuben led the Continental Congress to delay granting him a pension, and it was Washington’s last act as commander of the Continental Army to write the Congress on behalf of von Steuben’s “moral character.” And finally, at the urging of Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury of the new country, Congress granted von Steuben an annual $2,500 pension. According to the New York Public Library (“The Papers of von Steuben”), the following is a list of von Steuben’s major achievements: February 1778: Arrives at Valley Forge to serve under Washington, having informed Congress of his desire for paid service after an initial volunteer trial period, a request with which Washington concurs. March 1778: Begins tenure as inspector general, drilling troops according to established European military precepts. 1778-79: Writes “Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States,” which becomes a fundamental guide for the Continental Army and remains in active use through the War of

Creep of the Week

D’Anne Witkowski

Betsy DeVos

Editorial

Fluidity of freedom As Pride Month comes to a close and Independence Day approaches, freedom has been a hot topic. While the word itself often signifies a fundamental, innate tenet upon which this nation was born, recent times have shown just how fluid of a concept freedom is. Two years ago, the LGBT community was celebrating marriage equality becoming the law of the land. Freedom to many at that time meant the ability to finally wed their partners, to join their names on legal documents, to create a family with fewer burdens. But just one year later, 49 people were gunned down at an LGBT nightclub in Orlando. The LGBT community was forced to re-examine the basic freedoms the incident threatened: the ability to be oneself, and associate as a community, without fear of violence or death. Weddings and legal paperwork took an immediate backseat. That back-and-forth seems to have been a recurring theme throughout LGBT history; when one hard-fought victory is won, another can cripple the community. Harvey Milk was elected in a historic move for LGBT representation in government, only to be gunned down. AIDS funding would be boosted in one part of the country and lost in another. A trans woman of color would grace the cover of a national magazine

as record numbers of trans women of color become victims of violence. And LGBT rights flourish under a progressive president only to be quickly yanked back by his successor. Freedom is a contextual concept, one that evolves with our progress and our pitfalls. In times of community successes, freedom may seem to be a finite, attainable goal, while in times of extreme crisis, the freedoms we once coveted may seem luxurious. What that dichotomy shows is that, while little is out of reach, little should be taken for granted. Our country and community are at interesting pinnacles right now; we’ve experienced tremendous gains but also seen the work that has fallen by the wayside. As a country, we’ve rebounded from a crippling recession but many blue-collar workers are suffering the impacts of globalization. As a community, we’ve won marriage equality and many other rights, but our most marginalized — trans individuals, elders, youth — continue to face serious hardships. Embracing our potential should be tempered by acknowledging the many gaps that need to be bridged — and the many more that need to be traversed as the concept of freedom continues its evolution. n

We want to know!

If you’re a school administrator, teacher or even a whole school district and you want to assert your right to discriminate against some of your students FOR REASONS, you’re in luck! The Education Department under Betsy DeVos ain’t gonna stop you. (Unless you’re against white Christians probably.) This is especially true if you want to discriminate against transgender students. The Education Department recently dropped cases in Ohio and elsewhere involving transgender students being harassed and denied bathroom access, basically saying, “This isn’t our problem.” You’ll recall that under Obama, the Education Department issued guidelines to schools about how to handle transgender students so that their dignity is respected and their right to an education is not trampled. But under Trump and DeVos, the Education Department ain’t care. Needless to say, those who support trans students are alarmed by the department’s shrugging off the issue. Shannon Minter of the National Center for Lesbian Rights told the Washington Post, “They have just sent a message to schools that it’s open season on transgender students.” In other words, it’s a pretty clear signal that the Trump administration has zero interest in hearing some transgender kid bitching about having to pee in a bucket in the janitor’s closet or something. Suck it up, buttercup, as Trump supporters like to say right before they head out to protest against Shakespeare. But it’s not just trans students DeVos wants to abandon. Civil rights are such a drag, after all. What do they do besides get in the way of privatizing America’s education system so that rich assholes can get richer? The Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights is so over crybaby civil-rights wanters. According to the Washington Post, the head of the civil-rights office “has directed lawyers to narrow the scope of investigations into sexual assault and discriminatory school-discipline policies.” What does this mean and how does it differ from what the Obama administration

was doing? Well, under Obama, the Education Department took students’ complaints about serious issues, well, seriously, and investigated whether such complaints were “symptomatic of a broader problem, in part by examining at least three years of past complaint data.” In other words, if a student complains that he or she was sexually assaulted at school, the Education Department felt like they should probably find out if this was an isolated incident or a pattern of wider abuse. Under DeVos’ leadership, however, they’re so busy trying to find ways to make education into a for-profit enterprise that they can’t be bothered with systemic civil-rights abuses at school. Ugh. Civil rights don’t make anybody rich. Of course, the department claims that this whole “don’t-look-into-civil-rightscomplaints-too-deeply” policy is to alleviate a troublesome backlog of cases. And while it’s true that a backlog of cases is a problem, their solution isn’t to hire the personnel needed to get these cases examined. Their solution is to simply stop looking. In a press release, Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said the Education Department was abdicating its “responsibility to protect the rights and dignity of our nation’s vulnerable children during the most crucial years of their lives, threatening not only to stall progress on racial, gender and sexual-orientation equality in schools, but to undo it altogether.” As is the plan, of course. MAGA ’til you puke. n

But it’s not just trans students DeVos wants to abandon. Civil rights are such a drag, after all. What do they do besides get in the way of privatizing America’s education system so that rich assholes can get richer?

Act now to advance equality Earlier this month, thousands of Philadelphians honored LGBTQ history, celebrated progress and affirmed our diverse identities at Pride. In the wake of these celebrations, now is the time to take action in the fight for LGBTQ equality. By advocating for the Equality Act, we can take a tangible step toward full, federal equality for all LGBTQ people. Despite significant progress nationwide, Pennsylvania remains one of 31 states that still lack fully inclusive LGBTQ nondiscrimination protections. This inconsistency in state law leaves 50 percent of LGBTQ Americans at risk of being fired just because of who they are or whom they love. In the face of such uncertainty, the Equality Act presents the bold solution that we need: codifying LGBTQ nondiscrimination protections in federal law. Reintroduced May 2, the Equality Act is crucially important bipartisan legislation that would add sexual orientation

and gender identity to the list of protected classes in our nation’s civil-rights laws. The Equality Act would establish explicit protections for LGBTQ people in employment, housing, public accommodations, federally funded programs, credit, education and jury service. It would also ban sex discrimination in federally funded programs and public accommodations, which would close a gap in vital protections for all women. Passing this law would have an immediate and substantial impact on the landscape of LGBTQ equality. As a member of the Human Rights Campaign of Greater Philadelphia, I am deeply grateful that Pennsylvania’s own Sen. Bob Casey and Reps. Brendan Boyle, Bob Brady, Matt Cartwright, Mike Doyle and Dwight Evans are among the cosponsors who reintroduced this bill. Their support recognizes that discrimination is a real and persistent threat to the lives and livelihoods of LGBTQ people.

In fact, nearly two-thirds of LGBTQ Americans have reported experiencing discrimination throughout their lives. Transgender women and women of color are particularly vulnerable to discrimination in employment, housing and education, areas addressed by the Equality Act. To fix this system, we must affirm that basic legal protections from discrimination should not depend on the state where you live. In short, we must pass the Equality Act. An unprecedented 241 members of Congress endorsed this fundamental belief as cosponsors of this year’s bill. This represents the largest showing of Congressional support for any pro-LGBTQ bill in history, but the fight is just beginning. The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ-rights organization, is proud to stand with all LGBTQ people and allies to advocate for passing the Equality Act into law. Here in

Philadelphia, our steering committee is a group of dedicated and passionate volunteers who care deeply about advancing justice and equality for every member of the LGBTQ community. In the coming months, we look forward to working together with partners throughout Philadelphia and across the state in order to make full, federal LGBTQ equality a reality. You can make a difference by taking action. Those of us in the Greater Philadelphia area represented by Reps. Ryan Costello, Charlie Dent, Brian Fitzpatrick or Pat Meehan can call, write a letter, email or tweet our member of Congress or Sen. Pat Toomey and urge them to support the Equality Act. Together we can make our voices heard. n Bruce Easop is a co-chair of community engagement on the Human Rights Campaign of Greater Philadelphia Steering Committee.

Because Life Is More Than Just Gay News

Josh Schonewolf worked from the sound booth during the opening night of Mr. Everything at Tabu Lounge & Sports Bar. The talent show, which is in its fifth year, features male-identified performers showing off talents such as dancing, singing, spoken-word performances and lip-syncing. Judges offer their critiques of performers, who are eliminated each week. The June 7 opening night included performances ranging from a live rendition of “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” originally sung by Disney villainess Ursula from “The Little Mermaid,” to lip-syncing of Adam Lambert’s “For Your Entertainment.” Performers of all shapes and sizes came dressed in everything from drag to leather to barely anything at all. “Welcome to my job,” Schonewolf said with a grin. The 36-year-old produces and performs in a few-hundred nightlife shows each year through his company, Josh Schonewolf Presents. “On my calendar, I have two days off and that’s it,” he said, noting he had 28 shows scheduled throughout the month of June. “I’m used to it, though.” Schonewolf said he is typically more involved with the audience and serves as a “right-hand man” and is “more available” to the show’s judges and hosts. However, when his sound person got stuck at work, Schonewolf had to take over the responsibility. “Sometimes things like that happen and you just have to put your producer hat on and do it,” he said. “When you’re the producer, it’s almost like being a restaurant manager,” Schonewolf added. “If you don’t have enough servers, you’re serving tables. There’s always something to do at an event. If there’s nothing to do, then your event is boring.” Schonewolf was definitely not bored during this event. Several former winners of Mr. Everything and its companion show, Ms. Everything, joined him in the booth and exchanged laughs and thoughts on the show. Schonewolf also made sure to enjoy the performances, as he frequently patted his hand on the table to the beat of the music and cheered in between performances. However, his work isn’t limited to evening hours. On this particular day, he woke up at 9 a.m. and was “on the go” until Mr. Everything ended after midnight. He kicked off the morning by promoting the show on two radio broadcasts and recorded a podcast later in the afternoon. In between, he added rhinestones to a costume he would wear during a burlesque performance in Homo Erectus, whose producers booked

him to perform in New York City. “I’m always tired but I really love what I do,” he said. Schonewolf began his career as a producer when he hosted an event for the readers of his former food blog, “Josh Can’t Cook,” through which he provided tonguein-cheek recipes and humorous written pieces. His event, entitled Josh’s Dinner Party, was successful at Tabu and the bar’s general manager approached him to produce the weekly Ratchet Wednesdays featuring drag and burlesque performances. “That happened and then it spiraled out of control,” Schonewolf said of the event’s success. While his comp a ny p r o d u c e s different events ranging from singing compet i t i o n s t o bu rlesque shows, Schonewolf noted similarities among the shows he produces each year. “A Josh Schonewolf event is a community-based event that displays queer talent and mixes everybody together to create one big celebration of performance art,” he said. One of the events Schonewolf co-produces with this in mind is Bearlesque. The monthly show features “bears,” a slang term for larger and hairier gay men, and is showcased in Philadelphia, New Hope, Wilkes-Barre, Maryland and Washington, D.C. “It’s really important to me to have curvy, sexy people performing,” he said. Schonewolf also performs in Bearlesque and other productions. He noted a personal connection to the bear community. “Growing up, I have been called fat and being a gay person in the scene, I’ve been told I’m fat in a cutesy way forever. I think there’s a part of gay society where people think that being different means ‘ugly’ and we’re told that we’re not supposed to like ourselves from the beginning. Like, ‘You’re gay so you’re not worthy of love.’ So having Bearlesque in this luxury — producing really great shows with body-positivity as the message — is the greatest love of my life so far.” Schonewolf also encourages diversity in other ways. He said having a “nice, diverse cast” is very important to him and he will incorporate people of color, trans, gender-nonconforming and even straight people into his shows. “I like to have everybody represented in my shows. I would never have a show with 10 white guys that were 150 pounds with abs. That’s just not me.” This call for diversity has not made PAGE 17 Schonewolf immune to

place where we talk about the highest aspirations of the revolutionary generation in 1776,” Mead added about the gallery in which Sampson’s story is featured. “We talk about the limitations of the revolution in immediately expanding voting rights and other civil liberties of many groups. But our point here is that the revolution continues; it’s an idea, it’s ongoing. So while the 1760-90 period might not have seen major changes for all of these people, the ideas of the revolution made advancement possible. And along the way we meet people who have anticipation of those changes; they are pushing them forward with their own lives. Mead next took me to the final screening room before you leave the museum for a film about the continuing revolution of our nation. The set-up features a clip of Abraham Lincoln and the words: “These

International Turkish police shut down Pride march in Istanbul Turkish police stopped LGBT activists from gathering in large numbers for LGBT Pride in Istanbul June 25, but smaller groups made impromptu press statements defying a ban imposed by the governor. Organizers of the 2017 Istanbul LGBTI+ Pride had vowed to march in Central Taksim Square, using a Turkish hashtag for “We March,” despite the ban on LGBT Pride observances ordered by the Istanbul governor’s office for the third year in a row. Police established checkpoints in the area, preventing groups from entering Istiklal Avenue and turning back individuals who were deemed to be associated with the planned march. Small groups assembled on side streets were chased away by officers. At least 100 protesters gathered in a nearby neighborhood, beating drums and chanting slogans such as, “Don’t be quiet, shout out, gays exist!” and “Love, love, freedom; State, stay away!” They carried a banner that read, “Get used to it, we are here.” Police used tear gas to disperse the crowds and activists said plastic bullets

were also used. Riot-control vehicles and buses were dispatched to the area. Turkey’s official Anadolu news agency said “an estimated 20 people” were detained after protesters did not heed warnings to disperse because the march did not have a permit. In banning the event, the governor’s office on June 24 cited safety and public order. It also said a valid parade application had not been obtained for the event, a claim rejected by organizers. The governor’s ban referred to “serious reactions by different segments of society” as several nationalist and religious groups called for the march’s cancellation. But Pride organizers said in a statement June 25 that the threats themselves should be dealt with, rather than limiting demonstrations. “Our security will be provided by recognizing us in the constitution, by securing justice, by equality and freedom,” the statement said.

Dozens of Serbia gays say pending election of gay PM historic Several-dozen Serbian LGBT people marched in the Serbian capital of Belgrade, hailing the expected election of a first openly gay prime minister as historic for the Balkan country. Activists on June 24 gathered at a World Pride event under heavy police protection. They carried banners reading “We want life worthy of humans” and “Support matters.” Serbia’s LGBT community has faced pressure and violence from extremist

revolutionaries were inspired and forged as a generation by their sacrifices and their belief that people have a right to liberty, equality and a role in governance. “In 1858 Abraham Lincoln answers,” the narrator continued. “He sees a connection between the ideas of a revolution and the hopes of millions of immigrants arriving on U.S. shores.

groups in the staunchly conservative nation. Meanwhile, Serbian lawmakers convened to launch proceedings needed for the election of Ana Brnabic as the new premier. If confirmed, the 41-year-old Brnabic will become Serbia’s first female and openly gay prime minister. Gay activist Predrag Azdejkovic noted, “That is something historical for Serbia, and groundbreaking.”

German parliament backs annulment of gay men’s convictions German lawmakers have approved a plan to annul the convictions of thousands of gay men under a law criminalizing homosexuality that was enforced enthusiastically in post-World War II West Germany. Parliament’s lower house voted unanimously June 22 in favor of the bill. The legislation criminalizing homosexuality was introduced in the 19th century, toughened under Nazi rule and retained in that form by West Germany, which convicted some 50,000 men between 1949-69. Homosexuality was decriminalized in 1969 but the legislation wasn’t taken off the books entirely until 1994. The new bill foresees compensation of $3,340 for each conviction, plus $1,670 for every year of jail time that convicted men started. Parliament’s upper house still has to clear the legislation. n

“The Blatt case is very important,” Robinette told PGN. “It’s the first time a federal judge has stated that discriminating against someone because of their gender dysphoria is illegal disability discrimination. Ms. Blatt will still need to prove she actually has gender dysphoria, and the employer will likely raise nondiscriminatory reasons for its actions. But most workplace-bias cases settle before trial. So it is likely this case will never reach a jury.” Robinette said it would be helpful if a complete record is developed in Blatt’s case. “I’d like to see the law of disability discrimination for trans people developed further in the Blatt case. The more facts that are fleshed out publicly, the better for our community. Clear guidance as to what constitutes illegal gender-dysphoria discrimination is needed, and it would be useful to have examples of court-ordered reasonable accommodations for someone experiencing gender dysphoria.” Robinette also expressed hope that trans people without a gender-dysphoria diagnosis will have protections under the ADA in the future. “Judge Leeson considered ‘gender dysphoria’ protected under the disability laws — despite Congress’ archaic and biased exclusion of ‘gender-identity disorders.’ I’m optimistic that someday a court will strike down that exclusion itself and hold that trans people without gender dysphoria are covered under the disability laws. That’s because the ADA provides broad coverage for people with a history or ‘record’ of a disability. Also, the ADA covers people without an actual disability, but who are perceived to be disabled.” n

self], because that’s not what I expected,” Weiss testified. Additionally, Weiss said he feared “retaliation” from an “angry” Williams if he put an end to the gift-giving. Williams had a look of incredulity on his face when Weiss expressed his retaliation concern. But for most of Weiss’ testimony, Williams appeared emotionless while taking notes on a yellow legal pad. Under cross examination by defense attorney Thomas Burke, Weiss agreed that he had a close, affectionate relationship with Williams. Weiss also agreed that he was a “leader” in the LGBT communiy, and that Williams benefited from his expertise on LGBT issues. The two men, who’ve known each other since 2009, texted quite frequently. In one text, Weiss asked Williams: “What does Little Sethie want for his birthday?” Burke indicated the text demonstrated a loving relationship between the men, and that gifts would be expected. In 2010, Weiss pleaded guilty to “corruptly endeavoring to impede the due administration of the federal tax code” stemming from his involvement with the Palmer Social Club, an after-hours club on Spring Garden Street. Weiss was sentenced to three-years’ probation and fined $30,000. The social club was fined $562,063.04. Williams faces 29 counts including bribery, extortion and honest-services fraud. His alleged felonious activity includes misuse of campaign funds and diverting for his personal use funds that were supposed to cover his mother’s nursing-home costs. n

controversy. In 2014, he helped produce a show called “Once You Go Black” and received criticism from bloggers who said the event’s title was sexualizing and fetishizing people of color. Eventually, he canceled the event and said he has not made a mistake like that since.

“After having some useful conversation with people in the community that are people of color, I didn’t realize that I made mistakes,” he said. “But I did and I learned a lot from them.” Schonewolf said he has also dealt with

other difficulties in his five years as a producer. He said when he first began this career, other promoters criticized him for being an “amateur” and a “hack.” Ironically, he said, he ended up collaborating with a few of his critics but would not mention their names. “There were a lot of people, at first, that would trash me and then little by little, they realized I wasn’t going anywhere and that I was good at [producing],” Schonewolf said. “I feel like I had to prove myself from the beginning and then I just kind of did.” “Now I get hired by people all the time that used to hate me,” he added with a laugh. While Schonewolf said he loves what he does, he doesn’t like when event participants flake or are disrespectful. He tries to maintain a positive environment throughout each of his shows. “I like my events, for lack of a better word, to have a ‘glee’ vibe about them — like a very-happy, connective-network kind of feeling instead of a catty, nightlife feeling,” he said. “A lot of events can have that and I don’t like that. It makes me really uncomfortable. “I’d be a terrible ‘Real Housewife’ because I buckle when drama happens,” he joked. Schonewolf noted how he chooses events to produce. “That’s always the underlying mission of all of my events: having everybody celebrated from all walks of life. Producing shows that people give a shit about is what I want to do now. I just want to do shows that I would want to go to if I wasn’t producing them.” n For more information, visit Josh Schonewolf Presents on Facebook.

PROTEST from page 1

NAACP and the leader of the Moral Mondays movement, delivered a 28-minute speech during the first day’s rally. Barber noted parallels in history throughout his speech and compared the current situation to how former slave-owners attempted to roll back the Freedmen’s Hospital. “This is the worst, most expensive attack on the poor since the days that slaves gave free labor to America,” Barber said, attributing the quote to his daughter. Barber instructed 50 protesters to lay down on the sidewalk in front of Toomey’s office, requesting people of different skin colors, sexual orientations, ages, faiths and other communities to collaborate. He referred to this as a “dry run” to show protesters how to symbolize those who will die as a result of the potential bill. “I’m telling you if you get in his office and do this, they may arrest you but it will begin to shift in that every one of you represents somebody that’s going to die, that’s literally going to die if they pass this bill,” Barber said. After 50 participants laid down, they participated in a chant led by Barber. “We will put our bodies on the line for all people because we believe health care is a moral issue. We will not retreat, Sen. Toomey,” Barber chanted. “We will not retreat, Donald Trump. We will not retreat, Speaker [Paul] Ryan. America needs a healing. We will fight until universal health care is a reality for all.” Councilwoman Helen Gym spoke at the rally the next morning.

“When they go low, we go local,” Gym said, to which protesters chanted back. “The fight is not in [Washington] D.C.,” she said, adding that senators like Toomey will not have a town hall, pick up phones or respond to messages from the community. “That means the fight can’t be there [in Washington],” Gym added. “The fight comes home to us, back to our communities, back to the places where we both build and expand our baits of power.” Gym noted that Ryan “admitted that Obamacare was the law of the land” after people flooded phone lines and protested. “This is an obscene bill that gives a monstrous tax cut to the wealthiest Americans, to the largest insurance companies and to a corporate America that [would rather] see people die than do the right thing,” Gym said. The councilwoman encouraged the protesters to keep the fight going. “No matter what comes out at the end of it, we’re going to look around and know who we stood with and who we stood for,” Gym said. “I’ll be with you all the way. City Council is going to be with you all the way in Philadelphia. Let’s take this fight to where it matters: back to our communities. Let’s go out there and win.” In addition to Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Health Access Network also hosted vigils in front of Toomey’s offices in Allentown, Erie, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Wilkes-Barre. Those opposed to the Republican health-care bill can call Toomey’s office at 215-241-1090. n

Pop and rock artists kick it up a notch on colorful new releases By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Katy Perry “Witness” Capitol Records Any pop fans still lamenting Lady Gaga going all ’70s soft rock on her latest album can breathe a sigh of relief, as colorful arena-packing star Katy Perry is sticking with a synthesizer-heavy sound on her latest album. And that can be both a blessing and a curse. If you like big, punchy processed beats and gigantic effects-laden synths, this album is your jam from front to back. While on previous efforts Perry’s vocals and personality surfed above the meticulously crafted songs, on this album her processed and auto-tuned vocals at times seem to be drowning in an endless sea of mechanized instrumentation, such as on the title track and “Roulette.” That sound works best with more relaxed mid-tempo songs that give the vocals

a little more breathing room like “Miss You More,” “Save as Draft” and “Tsunami.” But for the most part, the album sticks to the pop-star blueprint almost everybody is using these days: familiar club beats with catchy synth hooks, add picturesque pop singer’s vocals, add a guest here and there from whatever pool of hip rappers you can afford (in this case, Nicki Minaj and Migos) and repeat with the same level of sameness until the album is done. So, yeah, “Witness” as an album is bright, shiny and on point to sell like gangbusters, but if Perry’s name wasn’t attached to it, these songs — take “Hey, Hey, Hey,” “Pendulum” or “Bigger Than Me,” for example — feel like they can be cranked out by any other pop star with a similar level of popularity (i.e., Ke$ha, Rihanna, etc.). Perry is maintaining her high-profile status and level of sonic quality on this latest solid release, but at the end of the day she hasn’t delivered anything that sounds very different from what dozens of other pop singers with a small army of cowriters and coproducers behind them are doing right now.

Lorde “Melodrama” Lava/Republic After making a commercial and critical splash with her 2013 debut album, “Pure Heroine,” Lorde took her time writing and recording her follow-up album, and it shows. The New Zealand-born singer seems to have fleshed out her hauntingly and artfully ethereal sound a little more on her second album, while still maintaining that delightfully spare vibe that feels like Bjork and Goldfrapp crashing a Tori Amos concert. People who fell in love with Lorde’s sound on tracks like “Royals” from her last album will find plenty to cling to on this go-round, as tracks like “Hard Feelings” and “Writer in the Dark” have the same deeply strange and brooding allure. But Lorde also brings some alternative-rock, new-age and a sprinkling of gothic influences into play for spectacular effect. She shows her emotional range on this album with songs with similar titles and

melodies but vastly different feels to them, like the slickly modern “Sober” returning as the string-heavy and spookier “Sober II (Melodrama).” She repeats that trick again with the piano-driven melancholy beauty of “Liability” circling back later as the somber electro hymn that is “Liability (Reprise).” Elsewhere, the album balances out the overall mood and percolates with celebratory and youthful swagger on darkly propulsive and relatively upbeat tracks like “The Louvre,” “Supercut” and “Perfect Places.” Lorde definitely has a story to tell with “Melodrama,” and it’s something you will want to read from beginning to end. Motionless in White “Graveyard Shift” Roadrunner Records Pennsylvania-based metal band Motionless in White continues to refine its sound while keeping it heavy and spooky on its latest effort, which drenches the PAGE 20 crushingly heavy

rhythms with increasingly assured gothic and industrial soundscapes. These days, metalcore bands can sound achingly monotonous and indistinguishable from one another but “Motionless in White” stands out from the pack, thanks in large part to its generous use of electronic dance-oriented synthesizers adding melody to the walls of distorted riffs, and the theatrically ghoulish and charismatic vocals of singer Chris “Motionless” Cerulli. These elements lift up songs like the fist-pumping anthems “Untouchable” and “Loud (Fuck It),” as well as the more relentlessly pummeling tracks like “Soft” and “570.” Korn singer Jonathan Davis lends his voice to the catchy dirge of “Necessary Evil.” Other songs are just plain epic in feel and scope, like the dynamic and dramatic tracks “Eternally Yours” and “Hourglass.” Like a really good and unapologetic horror film, this album will probably scare the daylights out of your neighbors, even at a respectable volume. But if you are the type of person that is going to spend your summer angrily hiding from the daylight and going through a lot of black lipstick/dye, combat boots and fishnets, this is your soundtrack. Prince & The Revolution “Purple Rain: Deluxe Expanded Edition” Paisley Park Even if this was just a remaster of the classic masterpiece album that launched Prince into superstardom, it would be worth picking up. But Prince’s estate has opened his legendary vault and added a CD’s worth of unreleased material from that era of his career, as well as another CD

of extended and 7-inch single versions of the album’s hits and their B-sides, as well as a live concert from the “Purple Rain” tour that is available for the first time on DVD. “Purple Rain” is a flawless album, and its dance mixes and B-sides have been available and poured over in some way, shape or form for the last 30-plus years. So the real mystery here is if the unreleased material lives up to the hype of Prince’s legacy as a prolific and innovative performer and songwriter. “Purple Rain” was the commercial pinnacle of Prince’s career. After that, he started exploring styles of music outside of the new-wave and rock-influenced funk style he had perfected, eventually dissolving The Revolution and infusing jazz and psychedelic rock into his sound. Revisiting that era and that sound is bound to be refreshing, considering vintage ’80s synth sounds are back in fashion. And while most of these unearthed tracks might not hold a candle to the hits of “Purple Rain,” there are some tracks that remind listeners how much of a badass Prince was. Tracks like “Love and Sex,” “Wonderful Ass” and “We Can Fuck” bristle with Prince’s mechanized and funky, futuristic, cocksure swagger. Other less-dense tracks like the breezy “Katrina’s Paper Dolls” and bouncy “Velvet Kitty Cat” harken back to the more-playful and less-aggressive vibe he had in his pre-“Purple Rain” days. There’s also some excellent classic Prince penchant for sexy and anguished balladry on display on the piano-driven “Electric Intercourse” and melancholy instrumental “Father’s Song.” The Revolution also shines brightly on the excellently eclectic pop of “Our Destiny/ Roadhouse Garden.” Whether you are a casual fan or a hardcore Prince addict, this loaded issue has a lot to like and love, and it further shows the world how much of a creative genius Prince really was. n

Rendez-vous avec moi à Paris s’il vous plaît The quadrennial Gay Games are in Paris next year and it’s closing in as local groups are ramping up. Fundraisers are being held, registrations are underway and reservations are being made as the Philadelphia Freedom Team gears up for another international event. To aid with and formally kick off the games locally, a Gay Games XI representative from Paris will be in town July 27 to stimulate some enthusiasm and bring a soupçon of gay Paris right here to the City of Brotherly Love. A kickoff event from 6-9 p.m. at Boxers will include raffled prizes, giveaways, drink specials and a rousing time. There’s a new game slated for the Paris party: petanque. Think bocce and you’re darned close. If you’re not so athletic but always wanted to compete in an Olympics (oh, excuse me — Games — since the Olympic committee went to court to keep us gays from soiling their word), then look into petanque. Threeperson teams, tossing small balls near each other — how tough could it be? Meanwhile, the host committee is sea-hopping to inspect sites and get detailed information in preparation for the 2022 Games vote that will happen during the event in Paris. The short list for 2022 is Guadalajara, Mexico; Hong Kong, China; and Washington, D.C. Imagine in five years being able to hop the train or bus or driving down to D.C. to compete in an international LGBT sporting event — and returning home that night! If you’re pretty certain you’re competing next year, registering early has never been more valuable. As the months go on, the registration costs increase. The next deadlines for discounted rates are Sept. 30/2,000 people. In other words, when either of those criteria is met, that special price closes.

Co-Op: Grown-up eats in University City By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com University City usually caters to the nearby college students, with their cash-strapped budgets and varied tastes that fluctuate between health-conscious and irresponsible comfort food. But the newly opened Co-Op, 20 S. 33rd St., is looking to give the grown-up residents and visitors of the area a more-upscale place to dine. With outdoor-dining options and retractable windows that give indoor patrons a better view of Chestnut Street, the modern décor of the space provides great vistas of the foot traffic milling around the manicured streets. The menu at Co-Op features locally sourced New-American dishes in either snack form, small plates or large plates. On the snack side of the menu, the deviled eggs ($6) were pleasantly assertive and briny in flavor. The shishito peppers ($8) were abundantly plump, crispy and spicy,

The large plates lean more traditional in terms of refinement and technique but really deliver on the presentation.

The pasta in the former dish and the couscous that garnishes the latter are both creamy and feature an excellent texture and nicely roasted asparagus (green for the former, white for the latter), adding some garden freshness to the dishes. University City might have plenty of options for burritos, cheesesteaks, nachos and pizza, but now non-students have an outlet to keep them from having to cross the river.

Dante Austin: Asking and telling with the Sheriff’s Office LGBT liaison When I was growing up, one of my favorite movies was “Blazing Saddles.” I think it was also the first R-rated movie that my younger brother and I went to. Aside from memories of my sibling literally laughing in the aisles, I also remember the striking figure of Cleavon Little as Sheriff Bart, the handsome black sheriff with a droll sense of humor (who fought both the bad guys and the racist townsfolk he was protecting). Here in Philadelphia, we also have a handsome black (deputy) sheriff, Officer Dante Austin. We spoke to Deputy Dante about his role as the first LGBT liaison to the Sheriff’s Office and his time in military service during “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

animal and didn’t even use his name, they just called him “It.” The second book is called “The Lost Boy” and it’s about what happened when child services removed him from the home and the last book is called “A Man Named Dave: A Story of Triumph and Forgiveness.” It’s very inspirational.

PGN: Tell me a little about yourself. DA: I was born and raised in Philly. I’m 25 and, outside of my time in service, I’ve been here my whole life.

PGN: What was an early sign you were gay? DA: In seventh grade, I had this best friend and you couldn’t tell me the guy didn’t walk on water. That was about the age when people started dating and he started seeing this girl. I hated her. I’m not a hateful person, but I hated her with every fiber of my being! And there was no reason for it but, of course in hindsight, it was pure jealousy. I’d be mad if he talked to her on the phone too much or when he told me he was hanging out with her, it was awful but I didn’t really have a clue or a name for how I felt. Once I got to high school, though, I figured it out.

PGN: I’ll say you have packed a lot into 25 years already. DA: [Laughs] Yeah, I’m trying. PGN: What were some of the things you liked to do as a kid? DA: I’ve always liked sports. I ran track all through school but I was also a big nerd so I liked to read a lot too. I grew up in a household with five of us: an older sister, younger brother and sister and my mother. PGN: I understand that you, like our former president, were raised by a single white mom. DA: Yes, yes, I’m biracial. My dad is black, brown hair and brown eyes and my mom’s white, blonde hair, blue eyes and I’m somewhere in between. Dad wasn’t really around, so she was the one that raised us. We grew up in the Northeast and I was predominantly around my family on the maternal side, so I always felt like the “black kid” — the black cousin, the black grandkid — and then I’d visit my dad’s side and I was the “white boy.” I’d hear, “You talk white!” PGN: I’m mixed on both sides, so it didn’t really matter. I used to joke that we all looked and sounded like the Cosby kids, though that’s not such a great reference these days! But back to you, who was a favorite teacher? DA: Hands down, without a doubt, Mrs. Reiss. She was my second-grade teacher and I’ll never, ever forget her. I keep in touch with her regularly and, in fact, we just had breakfast together recently. PGN: A favorite book? DA: There’s a series by Dave Pelzer, the first book is called “A Child Called It” and it’s incredible. He suffered terrible abuse as a kid; his parents treated him like an

PGN: Were you a very compassionate kid? DA: Oh yeah, my birthday is Feb. 24 and I’m a Pisces, so yeah, I’m a little sensitive. [Laughs] Though I prefer to say I’m in tune with my emotions. I take relationships, whether they’re familial relationships or friendships or romantic relationships, pretty seriously.

PGN: I’m surprised; usually mixed families tend to be more open-minded. DA: Well, my mom’s Christian and my dad’s Muslim. So there was a lot going on. Fortunately, I had my sister. She’s my best friend in the world. Everyone thinks we’re twins. And we went through similar things, from our parents splitting up to being biracial and LGBT and … PGN: Wait, she’s gay too? DA: She’s bisexual. We actually came out together. We walked up the stairs together to tell our mom. PGN: [Laughs] Well, no wonder your mother was thrown: That’s a lot to process at once! DA: I know! She was upset about grandkids, that whole gamut. PGN: Oy vey! We forget, we have years to figure out what’s going on with us and then give them 10 minutes to get

PGN: You were in service during “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” DA: Yes, and I was extremely closeted, for good reason. In my service packet, there were hundreds and hundreds of papers and one of the pages focused on homosexual conduct and how it was prohibited. The theory was that no one could ask you what your sexual orientation was and you weren’t allowed to tell anybody. Homophobia breeds in that type of environment. Once DADT was repealed, I still didn’t come out. I was worried about the way those that served with me would receive me in an army that, for men, was predominantly straight. I was in a unit that was also predominantly Caucasian so I was already one of the only black persons and I didn’t want to also be the only gay person in my unit. Until my last year, and then I came out to everyone. P PGN: How did that happen? DA: There was a huge event with an awards ceremony for us. It was a black-tie, or in our case a dress-blue, event. I decided to take my then-boyfriend as my date. I’d told some of the other soldiers before about me, but the majority of them did not know and it was a big shock. I’ll say we got overwhelming support, though clearly there were some people uncomfortable.

PGN: How did you come out? DA: I had the same girlfriend from freshman year until 12th grade. We broke up at the beginning of our senior year. There was an openly gay guy at school and he was really cool. No one bullied him and he was really accepted by the other students. He was also really handsome. I decided to befriend him and within a couple of weeks I came out to him and we started dating. That was over the winter break so, in that time, I made a full departure and by the time we went back to school I was out of the closet and had a boyfriend. Which is how I came out to my friends and the rest of the world. Prior to dating him, I did come out to my little sister and on Dec. 20, 2009, I came out to my mom. It was the single, solitary hardest thing I’d ever done in my life, still to this day. PGN: How did she take it? DA: Well, I’d enlisted in the military my senior year as well, and two weeks before I’d told her about that. I was her oldest boy and I had made her extremely proud and I was afraid that by coming out all that was going to go away. She didn’t take it well at first, not at all. As a matter of fact, I ended up moving out and living with one of my best friends and his family. Since then, she’s come a long way. She actually lives not too far from me so I see her all the time and we’re very close.

PGN: What did you do? DA: I was in the military intelligence corps and then after training I was in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, training for deployment. My unit never deployed and last year I was honorably discharged after serving my time.

PGN: You just like to drop that shoe, don’t you? DA: Yeah, I guess my coming-out stories are always a little dramatic.

used to it. In your mom’s case, times two! DA: I know! PGN: What made you decide to go into the military? DA: My older sister enlisted three years before me and I really admired what she did. I also knew I wanted to go to college and I didn’t want to have student loans so I took her route.

PGN: Did you ever come close to being caught during DADT? DA: No, I took a lot of precautions. My boyfriend was in my phone under a girl’s name. When I was in basic training, he’d send me letters and would use a nickname to sign them and would not use any name on the return address. We never mentioned anything LGBT in our letters, at all. That would have been a literal paper trail. Other soldiers had pictures of their significant others in their lockers; not me. I was very cautious. PAGE 28

Slow Southern burn in ‘The Beguiled’

Theater & Arts Another Way of Telling: Women Photographers from the Collection Philadelphia Museum of Art presents an exhibition featuring exceptional and rare photographs by women exploring identity in and out of the studio, through July 16, 26th Street and the Parkway; 215-763- 8100. Arnez J The comedian seen on BET and Netflix performs through July 2 at Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Sansom St.; 215496- 9001.

By Gary M. Kramer PGN Contributor Sophia Coppola’s spellbinding remake of “The Beguiled” opens in 1864 Virginia. Amy (an excellent Oona Laurence) finds Yankee Corporal John McBurney (Colin Farrell) wounded beside a tree. She takes him back to the Seminary for Young Ladies, run by Martha Farnsworth (Nicole Kidman). It is there where the pinched schoolmarm Edwina Dabney (Kirsten Dunst) teaches five young girls, including the coquettish teen Alicia (Elle Fanning). While McBurney has his eye on all of the ladies, the polite women are all watching each other. “The Beguiled” may seem like a fox-in-a-henhouse story — with McBurney ogling and getting ogled — but it soon becomes a sinister comedy of manners. The ladies’ Southern hospitality quickly turns hostile. As the women’s repressed (and not-so-repressed) passions ignite,

issues of truth and trust, sin and shame, jealousy and desire come to light. Coppola’s film, a delicious feminist morality play, is a real slow burn. Its hothouse Southern Gothic atmosphere is seductive and engrossing as the power games play out among the characters. “The Beguiled” is also beautifully crafted. The many candlelit scenes create a real sense of intimacy, and the exquisite costumes reveal much about the characters. The performances by the entire ensemble cast are uniformly superb. Kidman, Dunst and Fanning all convey their characters’ internal thoughts with such precise expressions and body language, viewers will know exactly what they are thinking. And Farrell imbues McBurney with enough entitlement to make his not-unexpected come-uppance all the more satisfying. “The Beguiled” is, indeed, bewitching. n

By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Audiences can relive the early days of rock ’n’ roll when The Kimmel Center brings the Bucks County Playhouse production of “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story” to Philly through July 9. The show follows the iconic singer’s rise to fame, starting in 1957 and through his tragic death less than two years later, when Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper perished in a plane crash. But the show celebrates his life and music, featuring more than 20 of his greatest hits, including “That’ll Be The Day,” “Peggy Sue,” “Oh Boy” and many more. Out actor Gilbert Sanchez, who plays Valens in the show, said that while he wasn’t too familiar with the rock music of the 1950s, most people know more about the music of that era than they think. “It’s mostly Buddy Holly songs, but we have a few Ritchie Valens songs and one song by the Big Bopper as well,” he said about the music of the show. “I loved Richie Valens; ‘La Bamba’ was one of my go-to movies growing up. I wasn’t too familiar with Buddy Holly, but you don’t realize how much you know that music. It’s like, Oh, I definitely know all of these songs like ‘Johnny B. Goode.’ It’s always

there. When you watch the show you understand that it’s all there. It’s all influenced by them.” Sanchez said all of the performers in the show are accomplished musicians, who play live while singing. “I’m actually one of the very few people that do not play an instrument at all in the entire cast,” he said. “It’s funny because it’s written that Buddy and the Big Bopper ask Richie if they can play ‘La Bamba’ with him. So I don’t play instruments at all. I’m very lucky that I get to kind of shake my hips in front of the crowd and have these amazing musicians backing me.” Sanchez said audiences young and old are showing up because of their love of the music, but they are further pulled into the show by the story and the intensity of the musicians performing on stage. “The music is what draws them to it,” he said. “Once they start to hear the story and see the amazing musicians that I get to share the stage with, they are blown away. The music, of course, speaks for itself, but when they see the talent that is on the stage, it is truly impressive.” n The Kimmel Center presents “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story” through July 9 at Perelman Theater, 300 S. Broad St. For more information or tickets, call 215-893-1999.

PORTRAIT from page 28

PGN: What did you do next after you left? DA: While I was in the military, I got hired by the Sheriff’s Office in Philadelphia. I was a student at Penn State Abington but I left to go to the academy and I’ve been in the Sheriff’s Office ever since. I love it. PGN: Did you surprise them too or did you come in as an openly gay man? DA: With any law-enforcement agency, they do a background check and there are a series of questions about the people you live with. So I disclosed to them that I lived with my partner. I came out publicly to everyone else during a speech at the academy. We do a block of instructions on cultural diversity that touches on sensitivity, language barriers, religious differences, etc. They only briefly touched on the LGBT community. By then I was very gay — I had a man, I was out to my family — and after my time in the military I refused to ever be closeted again. So when we got to the communications block of training, where all the officers were required to give a speech, I focused on LGBT issues. PGN: And it seems like you’ve had mostly positive reactions. DA: Yup, absolutely. The Sheriff’s Office has been incredible. This month last year, they allowed me to do a whole presentation, Power Point and all, for the department. Something I’m particularly proud of, we do a lot of public events, parades and such. We go to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the Puerto Rican Day Parade, but I wasn’t seeing people showing up for LGBT events. Part of that is because of the underrepresentation we have in law enforcement. I wanted more community outreach and visibility. So they asked if I wanted to become an official liaison, which allowed me to implement some of the things I wanted to do with some weight behind it. I’m not just the gay officer speaking up, I have an official role. The past year has been incredible; we’ve done trainings and donation drives and shown up to talk to queer youth and been at OutFest and at Pride. It’s been busy and exciting. PGN: How do you think being openly gay has made you a better officer? DA: When people are comfortable with themselves, they’re easier to get along with. And as LGBT officers, we know where the resources are; a lot of the straight, cisgendered officers don’t know about The Attic or Mazzoni Center … what special needs an LGBT youth or homeless person might have. So we share our knowledge with our fellow officers for them to use to help those in need. I’m actually working on a resource guide with everything from the significance of pronouns to a list of organizations all on a card they can carry. PGN: What’s an occasion where you had to school another officer? DA: I’m always schooling people. A lot of it is just ignorance, it’s not meant to be malicious. Though I did I have one officer

PGN

ask me, “We don’t have a straight parade, why do you need a Pride parade?” I gave him a lecture on the history of Pride as a response to police brutality and the meaning of straight privilege, the idea that he never had to walk down the street and think twice about holding his girlfriend’s hand or lie about the pronoun of his spouse or fear for his safety for some small PDA or being kicked out of his home because of who he was. He was never bullied in school because of being straight. I said, “Once LGBT kids stop being bullied or kicked out of their homes, once we have protection in housing and employment, once we’re not killing ourselves or having our trans sisters being killed at significantly higher rates, then I’ll entertain your question. Until then, instead of asking us why we feel the need to be screaming in the streets holding marches, be grateful you don’t need one.” PGN: Love it. OK, last time you sang for someone? DA: It was probably at Yakitori Boy. I love karaoke. Probably something from Bruno Mars. PGN: As a macho ex-military guy, what are you afraid of? DA: Water bugs. If I see even a dead one, I make my partner Tito get it. PGN: What does Tito do? DA: He just graduated from law school and is studying for the bar. Eventually he’ll probably run for office. PGN: If you could bring anyone back to life for 15 minutes, who would it be? DA: No question, Mom-Mom, my maternal grandmother. She was the second person I came out to. She was the backbone of our family and one of my best friends. PGN: A time when you felt, “This is why I became an officer”? DA: I met this kid in a courtroom about two years ago. This person was in custody for some petty crime. The kid always presented as a cisgender boy and I just assumed he was straight, then one day they came into the courthouse presenting fully as a female: long hair, makeup, nails, leggings, the whole 9 yards. When I sat in the courtroom, I heard the staff misgender this kid over and over and over. I knew the kid wasn’t listening to what was going on because of it. Immediately after the hearing, I pulled the kid to the side and introduced myself and shared my story about what it took for me to come out and let them know how brave I thought they were, how much fortitude it took for a young trans girl of color to be true to herself. We kept in touch and she just graduated high school last week and asked me to come to her graduation ceremony. I went and it was like, Wow, she just wanted someone to be there who would be proud of her and I was so, so proud. They gave me two tickets and Tito and I went. It was a beautiful moment. n To suggest a community member for Family Portrait, email portraits05@aol.com.
