PA Sen. to introduce bill banning gay- and trans-panic defenses By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com
CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED: Philadelphia FIGHT unveiled its new Critical Path Learning Center with food, drink and hands-on involvement during an open house July 19 at the site of the former AIDS Library. Once a space crowded with books, medical journals and other materials, the library donated most of its contents to the William Way LGBT Community Center Archives and the Temple University Archives. The newly converted space now accommodates more visitors and is available for job searching, resume writing and GED testing. Photo: Scott A. Drake
State Sen. Lawrence M. Farnese Jr. (D-Philadelphia) said he will introduce legislation aimed at ending the use of gay panic and trans-panic defenses in homicide trials in Pennsylvania. The actual language of the proposed legislation hasn’t been finalized. But on July 17, Farnese issued a memo to his fellow state senators urging them to support the proposal, adding that he expects to introduce the bill within the next several weeks. The American Bar Association passed a resolution urging states to limit the use of gay- and trans-panic defenses in 2013.
City urges appeals court to reject CSS foster referrals By Timothy Cwiek timothy@epgn.com City attorneys this week urged the Third Circuit Court of Appeals to reject a request from Catholic Social Services to resume referring foster children to the agency. CSS claims its foster-care program, which now cares for 100 children, is in danger of closing if the appeals court doesn’t order an immediate resumption
of foster-child referrals to the agency. The city suspended the referrals in March after learning that CSS won’t certify same-sex couples as foster parents. U.S. District Judge Petrese B. Tucker declined CSS’ July 13 request to issue an injunction that would have required the city to refer foster children to CSS. The judge also rejected CSS’ claims that its constitutional rights were being violated. Three days after Tucker’s ruling, CSS
submitted a 42-page document asking the Third Circuit to issue an emergency order for resumption of the referrals. In its July 23 response, city attorneys emphasized that foster-care services must be provided in an unbiased manner in accordance with the law. “CSS is not entitled to insist that it be permitted to impose its religious beliefs upon — or discriminate against — foster PAGE 16 parents who are com-
Bethlehem bans conversion therapy By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com The Lehigh Valley municipality of Bethlehem became the seventh in the state to ban conversion therapy in a unanimous City Council vote of 6-0. Councilmembers Bryan Callahan and Shawn Martell sponsored the Appropriate Mental Health Services ordinance, which bans conversion therapy on minors within the city. The measure passed on July 17. Conversion therapy is not actively happening in Bethlehem, and councilmembers said the ordinance ensures that it never will.
“We didn’t want this happening anywhere near Bethlehem,” said Martell, adding that “there is no scientific evidence suggesting that conversion therapy is helpful in any way. In fact, all of the evidence suggests that it’s harmful to youth in terms of depression and anxiety rates, as well suicide rates going up for youths that have to be subjected to this type of therapy.” Kids have to figure out who they are and come into their own, added the councilmember. “Anyone who tells a child that there’s something wrong about them because of who they are, that’s shameful to me.” Allentown, Reading, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Doylestown, PAGE 16 State College already banned conversion-ther-
Although there is no defined version of either term in any Pennsylvania statute, some homicide defendants in Pennsylvania have cited a victim’s LGBT status in an effort to lessen their criminal penalties. “We are examining model language from the American Bar Association along with language used in other states that have passed similar legislation,” Farnese told PGN. “It is unconscionable that Pennsylvania permits the use of gayand trans-panic FARNESE defenses in murder cases involving LGBTQ individuals,” he added. “These are hate crimes and defendants should not be able to employ gay or trans panic as a justification for criminal activity.” Farnese said the use of such defenses increases negative stereotypes of the LGBT community. “When invoking such a defense, it suggests that the victim’s [sexual] advances were more aggressive because of their sexual orientation, further engendering more negatives stereotypes and playing to the jurors’ biases. “There is simply no justification for allowing a defendant to blame an individual’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender for a lethal attack.” Farnese said he’s concerned that antiLGBT hate crimes are on the rise. “In a time when we see an increase in hate crimes, particularly against the LGBT community, we should be looking for ways to ensure that irrationals fears, hatred and bigotry as a defense for why a crime was committed aren’t permissible.” Several states have taken legislative action to limit or prohibit the use of gay- and transpanic defenses, including Rhode Island, California and Illinois. Earlier this month, Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. PAGE 16 Joe Kennedy (D-Mass.)

LGBT-owned business recognized for innovative services By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com An LGBTQ-owned and operated healthcare organization has been recognized for its work enhancing the quality of life for elderly and disabled individuals. Patient Care Coordination provides healthcare and assisted-living services to more than 2,000 elderly and disabled people in 14 counties of Pennsylvania, with a majority of participants residing in the Philadelphia area. Paul Rimar, PCC founder and executive director, described its mission as “the development of the people that it services so that they can hold onto their autonomy and thrive independently within the community.” PCC’s “participant-centered model” prioritizes the needs of each individual client, said Rimar. “I felt like there was something missing in the field of case management. We were focusing on the bare minimum of what service coordination was. I wanted to get back to its roots,” he said. “Our primary focus is the people that we serve. We’re looking at the components that are creating the issues for those we’re serving and the underlying issues inhibiting them from being indepen-
dent in the community.” PCC was awarded the Business Integrity Award last month by the Independence Business Alliance — Greater Philadelphia’s LGBT chamber of commerce. The award recognizes IBA members who “uphold high standards of behavior towards LGBT customers, suppliers, shareholders, community, and/or employees.” “It’s an honor to even be recognized by the IBA and colleagues in the business world,” Rimar said. “Being a young business owner, I felt like I have so much more time ahead of me to show my abilities and to show how credible PCC is. Although PCC’s reach isn’t specific to the LGBT community, our services are inclusive to all and we foster a work environment where individuals feel safe to be themselves and they feel like they can express themselves and their gender identities freely.” Zach Wilcha, IBA executive director, said PCC reflects the impact that LGBTQowned businesses can have within the community. “PCC’s growth in such a short time shows how important their work is in the community. They put the needs of their consumers first, and that’s especially important in healthcare services.” PCC, founded in 2014, is funded by the
state’s Department of Human Services Medicaid Home and Community Based Waiver Program, which provides services for people who prefer longterm-care support in their home or community rather than in an institutional setting. PCC provides services that make it easier for its clients to live independently. The organization launched a program in 2017 that assisted aging adults with the transition out of nursing homes and into their own homes. PCC covers the first month’s rent and security deposits for elderly patients leaving nursing homes and any other necessities, Rimar said. Other services include providing personal assistance; personal emergency-response systems, such as a button that can be pushed in crisis situations to notify nearby emergency-response centers; adult day-living services; non-medical transportation; and home modifications. Rimar, who has a master’s degree in social work from Temple University, has a background in medical-case management, grief counseling, disease management, crisis intervention and palliative care. “We want to expand our services, but we’re maintaining our focus on our participants. Without them, we wouldn’t be around,” he said. n

Philadelphia to host largest trans conference By Adriana Fraser adriana@epgn.com Mazzoni Center’s upcoming annual Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference is expected to break its attendance record, as close to 10,000 attendees are expected for its 17th year. “It’s a good time for people from all over the world to be with other trans-identifying people and celebrate each other and themselves,” said Oliver de Luz, Mazzoni Center’s events and volunteer coordinator. “This is an opportunity for allies to better educate themselves and meet with members of the community in an effort to continue to support and uplift them.” The three-day conference will take place Aug. 2-4 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Its mission, de Luz said, is to educate and empower trans people while educating and informing allies and health providers on trans rights and issues. The conference also serves as a platform
for trans people to network and build community. Zayne Silva, a transgender man from New York, will host a workshop entitled “Trans Love and Spirituality,” intended exclusively for trans-identifying participants. It will be Silva’s first time attending the conference, he said. “My faith and my identity are two things that are the most important to me. The conference gives me the opportunity to speak about my experience as a trans man who has a deep connection with religion,” he said. “I want to help educate trans folks about spirituality and the healthy relationships that we can have, whether it’s through faith or with people we come in contact with every day.” The conference offers a wide range of workshops for the trans community
and allies, including “Family Through a Gender Transition,” “Being a Millennial Queer with Culturally Conservative Parents,” “Post Top Surgery Scar Care,” “Maybe Baby! Baby-Making Options for Trans Prospective Parents” and “Surgical Options for Transgender Women: Vaginoplasty, Facial Feminization.” The first two days of the PTWC will feature professional-track workshops with training courses for behavioral-health and medical professionals, legal professionals, educators and anyone looking for continuing-education credits. With some 250 workshops that are free and open to the general public, the PTWC is the largest trans-specific conference in the world, de Luz said. “There are other gender, sexuality and
trans conferences, but this is the only one that is free to attend. Since its inception, the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference has always had the intention to remain free and accessible to the public. We don’t want to turn anyone away from this opportunity.” Participants from every continent except Antarctica are expected to attend. The conference opens with a reception 7-9 p.m. Aug. 2 at the National American Jewish History Museum. The conference also will feature the Resistance Ball, a ballroom competition, 8:30-11:30 p.m. Aug. 3. The ball will be held in collaboration with Chi Chi Mizrahi from the documentary “Kiki,” which chronicles the Kiki scene — a social gathering of LGBTQ youth of color — in New York. Participants will “walk,” or compete, in various categories at the Resistance Ball for trophies. De Luz said the conference is reintroducing the ball after a five-year absence as “something for the community, created by the community.” n

MANNA aims to deliver more tailored meals for chronically ill By Suzannah Cavanaugh PGN Contributor Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance, a Fairmountbased nonprofit that delivers nutritious meals to the severely ill, appointed five new executive members to its board of directors this month. Among the appointees is board chair Dr. Marla Gold, the out Dean Emerita of Drexel’s School of Public Health, a MANNA board member since 2016 and a longtime advocate of its mission to provide nutritionally balanced meals tailored to the needs of patients. Gold, who served as vice president of the 2017 board of directors, said she accepted the appointment after spending a year workshopping MANNA’s goals with CEO Sue Dougherty in a nonprofit development series run by the Independence Foundation, a philanthropic organization and MANNA funder. “Working closely with Sue, going over things like governance, our relationships with one another and how we troubleshoot things, made me want to do even more at MANNA because her ability and vision for the organization is one that I’m onboard with,” said Gold. MANNA, which began as a hot-meal delivery service for homebound HIV/AIDS patients in 1990, has evolved to provide meals that fit the dietary needs of clients living with a range of severe illnesses. When MANNA was still in its infancy, Gold recalled receiving deliveries for patients at her recently founded Partnership Comprehensive Care Practice, a clinical office serving the city’s HIV/AIDS population. “When I first met MANNA’s founders, it was because they were making it possible for our patients to get what might be, for some, their only meal — and certainly their only nutritious meal — in our waiting room,” she said. As HIV/AIDS medications became available and the disease transformed from a death sentence to a liveable condition, MANNA shifted its focus too. Instead of offering comfort foods to end-of-life patients, it implemented a series of nutritious diet plans built to sustain critically ill clients. Gold said she wants MANNA to serve even more meals. “We have to demonstrate to certain payers, like HMOs, that the utility of getting the food to the people is something they should invest in. The more payers contract with us through health plans, the more we get dollars that way to make sure we have meals for people who have no insurance and no way to pay for it, but have the types of diseases and conditions that qualify for us.” n

By Jen Colletta jen@epgn.com The owner of a Pennsylvania bridal shop recently claimed that her faith precluded her from selling a dress to a same-sex couple. Shannon Kennedy and Julie Ann Samanas said the incident happened July 8 at W.W. Bridal Boutique in Bloomsburg, about twoand-a-half hours north of Philadelphia. The West Pittston couple visited the shop in search of a dress for Samanas for the couple’s March 2018 wedding. “We filled out the form that said ‘Bride’s name,’ ‘Budget’ and then where it said ‘Groom,’ we crossed it out and wrote ‘Bride’ and put Shannon’s name down,” Samanas explained. The couple, who were accompanied by Samanas’ sister, handed one of the two women who was working the form and, after reviewing it, she inquired if the dress was for a same-sex wedding. “She said, ‘I don’t know if you’ve heard, but we’re Christian and we don’t believe in that; our faith doesn’t let us believe in that,’” Kennedy recalled. The women said they didn’t challenge the staff member and exited. “I think we were kind of in shock,” Kennedy said. “We all looked at each other and went, ‘Oo-k’ and walked out. It was unexpected. Afterwards, you think of everything you should have said.” W.W. Bridal Boutique did not respond to a request for comment. The women posted about the incident on Facebook and tagged the store. In a July 11 post that has since been deleted, the store posted: ”The owners of W.W. Bridal Boutique reserve the rights afforded to them by the First Amendment of the Constitution to live out our lives according to our faith. ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.’ We will continue to serve our customers based on the tenets of our faith.”
Kenney and Samanas said they believe the operators of the store’s Facebook page have blocked them both. They said they have received a wealth of support on social media. “I grew up about 20 minutes from there and I think about 90 percent of the people who commented were straight people I went to high school with, which is awesome,” Kennedy said. “We had about 300 shares of our post, and I think we only saw two negative things.” W.W. Bridal was embroiled in a similar situation in 2014, after the store owners, identified then as Victoria Miller and Jeremy Stabler, allegedly declined to schedule an appointment for a lesbian couple. Kennedy and Samanas said they recalled hearing about that incident but didn’t realize it was the same shop. Pennsylvania continues to lack a statewide LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination law; more than 40 municipalities have adopted their own nondiscrimination measures, though Bloomsburg is not among them. After the 2014 incident at W.W. Bridal, members of the Bloomsburg Town Council proposed asking the town solicitor to draft an LGBT nondiscrimination ordinance, but SHANNON KENNEDY after a community meeting (LEFT) AND JULIE ANN SAMANAS Photo: Tara that drew both Beth Photography support and opposition, voted 4-3 against moving forward with such a measure. The council did send a letter to the state legislature urging it to adopt statewide LGBT protections. Bloomsburg Mayor Sandy Davis did not respond to PGN’s request for comment. n

Creep of the Week

Editorial
Banning conversion therapy This week Delaware Gov. John Carney signed into law a statewide bill banning conversion “therapy.” Not only is this cruel practice to attempt to turn LGBTQ people into heterosexuals now illegal in Delaware, but mental-health professionals cannot refer minors out of state for it either. Delaware becomes the 15th state, along with the District of Columbia, to ban conversion therapy. Pennsylvania is not among those 15 states and, despite having one of the country’s most progressive governors, a similar law is highly unlikely with our Republican-controlled legislature. Conversion therapy is not actively practiced in Delaware, so why is it important to ban it? Beyond sending a message to young people that they are safe and complete just as they are, we live in a time where our hard-earned rights are in jeopardy. Nothing can be taken for granted. And the fact — stress on fact — is that science proves that conversion therapy is harmful and abusive. One of the most dangerous ideas behind trying to convert young people into heterosexuals is that sexuality can be changed. Empirical, scientific evidence to the contrary appears to carry little weight with this presidential administration. We must recognize that only legislation can protect young people from the deliberate ignorance around LGBTQ people. Delaware’s new law is another step in the direction toward equality — the notion that LGBTQ people have the right to pursue happiness in their lives just like anyone else. n

The Children Are Our Future Much has been written about the recent and devastating Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in February in Parkland, Fla., that claimed the lives of 17 individuals. I won’t go into it again much here except to say that I, and millions of others, were simultaneously challenged and given renewed hope by the young survivors who stepped forward and declared, “Enough is enough.” Their collective voices joined together into one unifying message that reverberated around the globe. They took their grief, anger and
desperation and channeled it into a movement destined to create systemic change from the ground up. More than 35 years ago, people living with HIV and AIDS took matters into their own hands as well, many of them young people who were supposed to be in the prime of their lives. They suddenly faced their own mortality at the hands of an unknown culprit, a virus they could not see but whose effects were painfully evident. They took that adversity and owned it and took charge, because no one else would

A lone voice in the wilderness may not be heard by itself, but together, voices carry. Young people lift us up and inspire, and remind us of who we imagine we can be. They are determined to create change by imagining what’s possible. Many of them are survivors in their own right, and their poignant messages demand to be heard. We are all survivors in our own way

Food vouchers aim to stave off hunger among LGBT elderly By Gary L. Day PGN Contributor Two major community-service organizations are joining forces to battle hunger among financially disadvantaged members of the LGBT community. William Way LGBT Community Center and the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging combined PCA’s annual distribution of Senior Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program produce vouchers with presentations on nutrition and available resources for needy LGBT seniors on July 20. The event, called “HomeGrown,” was held at the John C. Anderson Apartments in Center City. “It’s definitely a big problem, especially in Philadelphia,” said David Griffith, director of Programs and Outreach for the LGBT Elder Initiative. “In this city, about 40 percent of seniors are living in poverty, which makes Philadelphia one of the poorest cities in the country in terms of older Americans living below the poverty line. One in four local LGBT elders faces some sort of food insecurity at some point.” Ed Miller, senior programs coordinator for the William Way Center, cited a recent local survey the center conducted of LGBT seniors. “We learned that many skip a meal each day and don’t eat enough food to maintain optimum health. We do try to educate seniors about the many food programs offered in Philadelphia. At the John C. Anderson Apartments, we help to combat barriers to healthy food by providing monthly transportation to two grocery stores and plan to add trips to Fresh for All, a no-cost farmer’s market.” More than 5.4-million Americans over the age of 60 faced food insecurity in 2015, according to a report by Feeding America, a national anti-hunger organization. That amounts to 8 percent of

absolutely no scientific merit.” One legitimate criticism of the NLLFS is that the vast majority of families in it are white and middle- or upper-middleclass — but Gartrell explained that in 1986, many prospective lesbian parents were “terrified about losing custody of their children. There was no opportunity to obtain a representative national sample.” The researchers acknowledge the limitations, though, calling in their latest paper for their results to be replicated in a larger population with racial, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity and across the LGBT spectrum. Evidence from dozens of other studies, however, including ones from the NLLFS team using data from nationally representative, population-based samples, supports the broad NLLFS findings that children of lesbian parents do just as well as their peers. While the latest NLLFS paper says its results will be useful for medical profes-
sionals consulted on the mental health of young adults with sexual-minority parents, the implications go farther. “Our findings show there is no justification for restricting child custody, child placement or access to reproductive technologies based on the parent’s sexual orientation,” Gartrell said. That takes on renewed importance today, when 10 states now allow publicly funded adoption and foster-care agencies to refuse services to LGBTQ parents and children (among others) if providing them conflicts with the agency’s religious beliefs — and a bill in Congress would allow the same nationwide. “It would be wonderful to be in a place where we didn’t need to continue to address the assumptions that were made in the 1970s that unfortunately have reared up again very vividly in the last couple of years,” said Gartrell. Beyond politics, the NLLFS results also teach us about the particular aspects of lesbian families and offer lessons for all. Even when the children were only 10, for example, Gartrell noted “how important it was to them for all people to be accepted for who they are and for differences to be appreciated. The kind of education that goes into creating that kind of perspective in a child is really quite phenomenal.” She credited the parents’ own experiences of discrimination and “wanting to make their children’s lives better based on their understanding of it.” “So much conflict in this world is based on a fear of difference,” she added. “Appreciation of difference is a great need that we have in our country and our world. I see these kids as having been given that gift from their parents.” n Dana Rudolph is the founder and publisher of Mombian (mombian.com), a GLAAD Media Awardwinning blog and resource directory for LGBTQ parents.

They also maintained that city officials aren’t hostile to CSS’ religious beliefs regarding same-sex marriage: “Insistence that entities who contract with us comply with our civil-rights laws does not constitute religious hostility. It is impossible to draw an inference that the City’s insistence upon compliance was motivated by religious animus, as opposed to its longstanding deep commitment to equal rights in public life for LGBTQ citizens.” The city also contended it has a “compelling interest” for its 30 foster-care agencies to comply with the city’s Fair Practices Ordinance. “Respecting and following the City’s antidiscrimination law is a compelling interest. CSS’ attempts to impugn our interest in antidiscrimination lack any merit,” the brief held. Moreover, the city maintained it doesn’t request that CSS articulate a policy toward marriage equality. According to the brief, “our contract seeks no policy statement from CSS on same-sex marriage. It simply asks CSS to certify as foster parents LEHIGH from page 1
apy practices. John Dawe, interim executive director of Equality PA, said only 17 percent of the state bans the “harmful practice” and added that a statewide law should be implemented. This week, Delaware became the 15th state to pass a statewide ban on conversion therapy. “Anti-LGBTQ fairness groups in Harrisburg, including the Republican leadership in both chambers of the state legislature, continue to block a statewide ban. As a result, more than 80 percent of the state’s youth are susceptible to this debunked and harmful practice,” said Dawe. “Laws protecting LGBTQ children from conversion therapy are needed to ensure that therapists who are licensed by the state are providing competent care and are not harming patients. These laws are especially needed to protect minors, who are almost always forced or coerced to undergo conversion therapy rather than opting to undertake these treatments on their own.” The William Institute at the UCLA School of Law issued a report in January stating that nearly 20,000 LGBT youth

The brief also maintains the agency’s religious-freedom and free-speech rights are being violated by the city. The controversy involving CSS and another foster-care provider, Bethany Christian Services, came to the public’s attention in March, after the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Bethany turned away a lesbian couple who wanted to be foster parents. The news coverage prompted an investigation by city officials, resulting in a freeze on foster-care child referrals to Bethany and CSS. (ages 13-17) will receive conversion therapy from a licensed healthcare professional before they reach age 18 in the 35 states that do not ban the practice. Connecticut, California, Nevada, New Jersey, the District of Columbia, Oregon, Illinois, Vermont, New York, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Washington, Maryland, Hawaii, New Hampshire and Delaware all have laws or regulations protecting young people from conversion therapy. Adrian Shanker, executive director of the Bradbury Sullivan LGBT Community Center, worked with Martell and Callahan to introduce the ordinance to Bethlehem’s City Council. “With the election of President Trump in 2016 and his appointment of cabinet members and a vice president who are supporters of conversion therapy, it became important and more critical to work to end this discredited and dangerous practice wherever we can,” Shanker said. “LGBT youth need and deserve high-quality healthcare and we can’t have that in the presence of a dangerous, unscientific practice like conversion therapy.” n
the ways we can pass on the wisdom of the elders to younger generations while at the same time educating us old-timers about what the priorities and needs are for our youth and future generations. In a lot of ways, the issues they face now are not the same as those of 35 years ago, but there is a common thread of humanity woven through all of us living with and affected by HIV and AIDS. By honoring and sharing those experiences and stories with one another, I believe we
The city resumed referring foster-care children to Bethany last month after the agency adopted an antibias policy. But some LGBT advocates say Bethany’s policy isn’t adequate because it doesn’t specify the categories that are protected, including “sexual orientation,” “gender identity,” “marital status” and “religion.” The city has multiple contracts with CSS to provide a variety of services for children and adults apart from foster-care services. On July 5, PGN filed a state Right-to-Know Law request for the total amount of city funds CSS received from the city between July 2017 and June 2018. As of presstime, the request was pending. According to court testimony, CSS also won’t certify unmarried opposite-sex couples as foster parents, even though the city’s Fair Practices Ordinances also bans discrimination based on marital status. This week, Kenneth A. Gavin, a spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, had no comment regarding whether CSS would adopt a comprehensive antibias policy covering sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status and religion. n PANIC from page 1
introduced legislation that would limit the use the of these defenses in federal trials for homicide and aggravated assault. Such defenses are already banned on a state level in California and Illinois but still available in federal courts. Given that Pennsylvania’s legislature is controlled by Republicans, Farnese said he’s not confident his bill will pass. “I am not optimistic, because we live in a state that still allows legalized discrimination against the LGBT community,” he said. “But I am hopeful that my colleagues will see this bill as raising another reason why we must afford equal protection and equality to all of our citizens.” In August 2015, state Rep. Michael Schlossberg (D-Allentown) introduced legislation to prohibit gay-panic and transpanic defenses for voluntary manslaughter in Pennsylvania. However, the bill died in the House Judiciary Committee the following year. “I’m glad to see that Senator Farnese is pushing this,” Schlossberg told PGN by email. “Hopefully he can get more momentum in the Senate than we could in the House.” n

How many days does it take to press charges…or move a statue? Editor’s Note: This is the first part of a 2-part series. Next issue: The mother of all wait times - the prosecution of State Rep. Vanessa Lowery-Brown. Johnny “Doc” Dougherty Fist Fight Days waiting: 790 t was February 23, 2016, when the Philadelphia Inquirer broke the following story: “Philadelphia police are investigating an incident in which Electricians union leader John J. Dougherty allegedly hit a nonunion electrician in the face in an altercation at a worksite.

…delay is the politically expedient move but that doesn’t make it the right one. The nonunion contractor, Joshua Keesee, said that during the Jan. 21 incident in South Philadelphia, Dougherty broke his nose with one blow and hit him above an eye with another.
He said Dougherty lost his temper and swung first. Keesee said he then landed a blow, too, opening a wound in the head of a man who was with Dougherty. In a statement Monday, a spokesman for Dougherty said the union leader had been involved in a ‘brief physical altercation’ and ‘was not the aggressor.’” Per PhillyMag at the time: “City police are investigating, … District Attorney Seth Williams referred the matter to Attorney General Kathleen Kane, whose office said Tuesday that she ‘set up a conflict wall regarding the decision to accept or deny the referral and/or initiate charges.’ That’s because Dougherty’s electricians union was a donor to her 2013 campaign.” To charge or not to charge; why the delay? Surely, it does not take more than two years to figure out whether a fist fight amounts to a chargeable offense. The answer may come down to a political back story. The current attorney general, Josh Shapiro, defeated Allegheny County DA Steve Zappala in their Democrat primary; a campaign in which Johnny Doc penned an open letter criticizing Shapiro for taking campaign contributions from anti-union sources. Why the Doc animus?

Conventional wisdom at the time had it that Dougherty was paying back the politically powerful Zappala family, who, a year earlier, provided political support in western PA to Doc’s brother in his successful race for the state Supreme Court. No matter when Shapiro pulls the trigger on the charge-or-no-charge decision, it will be viewed as a political payback. If he charges, he is punishing Doc for primary opposition. If he does not charge, Shapiro is currying favor from Doc in preparation for his re-election campaign. So, delay

The Rizzo Statue Days waiting: 213 It was November 30, 2017, when the Inky broke the story: “After months of protests and public arguments, Mayor Kenney’s administration announced that it would move the bronze statue of former Mayor Frank L.

We're Waaaaiiiiting, Part I Continued from page 1 nearly two decades.” At first there was some confusion as to whether the Kenney administration had the authority to unilaterally move it. As it turns out, it did not; that would be the exclusive purview of the Art Commission. Again, there’s politics at the heart of the delay. If you move the statue at all, you enrage the old Rizzo base (read: white ethnic). If you put it anywhere but in some basement in South Philly, then you rile up the anti-Rizzo base (read: everyone else). For Mayor Kenney, it goes deeper, as the Daily News’ Stu Bykofsky lays out: “In the years following Rizzo’s death in 1991, there was a struggle to find the right memorial for the late mayor. In 1996, a bill was introduced in City Council to rename the Municipal Services Building the
Frank L. Rizzo Municipal Services Building. One of the nine cosponsors was Jimmy Kenney — the same politician who is planning to use his rubber-stamp Art Commission to bury the statue in some undetermined place.” Mayor Kenney knows that time is running out. He tweeted out last month: “We’re still considering potential sites … Narrowing down the options. Once we identify a preferred site, we’ll conduct a feasibility study.” A feasibility study? C’mon Mr. Mayor. We’re not talking about where to bury a nuclear waste stockpile. Bad Joke: Q: How many days does it take to move a statue? A: In Philly, as many days as it takes to make it disappear.
Ryan Nemeth Takes Over Cardinal O’Hara Continued from page 12 to make it to the next level as a student-athlete and as a person.” Nemeth got his start as a player at Bishop Hoban in the WilkesBarre area and was mentored by his father, who coached the ladies at a high school in Wilkes-Barre for over 20 years. “He might have been the more excited than me about the opportunity than I was,” he said. “We have talked nearly every day since I was hired and it’s pretty cool to be able to share this experience with him. He will be serving as a long-distance consultant.” Nemeth liked Cardinal O’Hara from the start when he first heard about the opening. “I saw an opportunity to make a positive impact on young student-

athletes through coaching, and that was very intriguing for me,” he said. “Throughout the interview process with the search committee and administration I could tell how passionate they are about the program, school and the mission. That made the opportunity even more exciting knowing that they want to develop quality people, students and athletes.” Nemeth played at Kutztown University before moving on to Temple. As a high school player, he led Hoban to a 54-3 record in his junior and senior seasons. “The game has been great to me so far, I can't wait to be part of this next journey.”

The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale. All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale.

Ryan Nemeth Takes Over Cardinal O’Hara Accomplished coach looks toward stellar performance on and off of the court By Jeremy Treatman
R
yan Nemeth has worn many hats. He is director of the Pete and Jameer Nelson Foundation, former assistant coach at IMG Academy in Florida and was most recently assistant at Eastern University in Wayne. We can now add boys’ basketball coach of Cardinal O’Hara to that list, and he is looking forward to this next gig. “It’s an exciting opportunity as a coach, but I think its most exciting for the players in the program,” said Nemeth, who served as a graduate assistant at Temple under coach Fran Dunphy for three seasons from 2009-2011, as well. “Every night, we will face great players and coaches. There is so much pride and tradition in the Philadelphia Catholic League. It’s an honor to be part of it. I know we will have our work cut out for us this year and in the future, but I know our guys are hungry to make a name for themselves.” O’Hara has been at the bottom of the league for most of the last three decades, but Nemeth has a plan to get the Lions to compete for the titles that the school hasn’t seen since the 1980s. “I have a number of goals,” he said. “The first is to focus on player development and invest in them. With such a young team, it is absolutely crucial that they have all the opportunities available to them, year-round, to be successful, including study hall, open gyms, high level competitions, and
strength/athletic training. Next is to make sure Cardinal O’Hara is the top choice for incoming students at the junior high level. We will be hosting numerous camps, clinics, and tournaments, so everyone can experience what we have to offer as a high school program. The third thing is to focus on positioning our student-athletes so they have as many opportunities available to them after they graduate as possible. That includes both academic and athletic scholarships. Lastly, our program’s goal is to play in the Palestra every year and compete for district, league and state championships.” Nemeth is busy currently running summer camps with, and for, Jameer Nelson, a 16-year NBA veteran from Chester who’s now a free agent. “Being one of the leaders of the organization and working with Jameer and the team has been an amazing opportunity,” he said. “Especially with the work we have done for young people in the Chester and surrounding communities. Jameer is someone I look up to because of who he is as a person and a teammate.” He added: “Over the past few years we have continued to expand the Nelson Summer Basketball Academy and allow younger players to attend at no cost. In addition, we are heading into the second year of our Lead Guard Invitational which allows for some of the best players in the area an opportunity to work out with Jameer for three days; to learn what it takes
“… our program’s goal is to play in the Palestra every year and compete for district, league and state championships.”

Hakim Hart Starring Roman Catholic High School may have lost star guard Lynn Greer III to an Oak Hill transfer this summer, but the Cahillites will still likely be favored to win the Catholic League and state title again. One of the reasons for that is the emergence of Hakim Hart, this summer playing for Philly Pride AAU program locally and nationally. “He’s been tearing it up for us all summer,” said Philly Pride director Amauro Austin. “He was a shooter when he came to us but his all-around game is showing its colors this summer.” Philly Pride, led by Hart, beat favored WeR1 in a top game in a national event in Atlanta on July 15. “We are having a great summer and seeing Hakim take such a jump for us in all aspects of his game has been great,” said Austin. Roman is bringing in two top freshmen and also returns Seth Lundy a major Division I prospect. “Losing Lynn Greer is a blow but there is still a ton of talent there,” said Al Rubin, a top area scout for Hoop Scoop. “The Roman team has won three of the last four league titles and they will be strong again. Hakim Hart has made himself a major Division I prospect.”

Glass artist decamps to Reading to create own ‘Wonderland’ By Larry Nichols larry@epgn.com Sometimes you need a change of scenery to create changes in scenery. Out glass artist Joseph Cavalieri, is in the midst of a 10-week residency at the GoggleWorks Center in Reading, where he is creating his latest series called “Disenchanted Alice,” a collection of six stained-glass panels based on the illustrations of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland.” in 2010, Cavalieri founded CAVAglass, a glass studio in Mahattan’s East Village, to create unique glass art using medieval methods as well as teach classes. His work can be seen in the permanent collections in New York City at the Museum of Arts and Design, the Italian American Museum and the Stax Museum, and in Our Lady of Sorrow Church in Itaparica, Brazil. Cavalieri already has artwork on view at GoggleWorks, but once this current series is finished, it will be presented as an exhibition Aug. 10-27 at the Schmidt Gallery. The works blend the reverent imagery of stained-glass cathedral windows with images and themes from underground com-
ics and cartoons. The result is somewhat dark and twisted, with amazingly intricate and visually arresting artistry and craftsmanship at its core. “The influences are things I grew up with and artists I still enjoy, especially comics,” Cavalieri said of his inspirations for these pieces he’s currently working on. “I love ‘The Simpsons’ and I’ve killed off some of them in my glassworks. I’ve actually sold some of my works to writers of ‘The Simpsons.’” The general public has an appreciation for comics and for stained glass, Cavalieri said, but never gets to see the two in the same place. “I like mixing the background of a very historic, traditional technique that people feel is so religious, alongside comics, which is the opposite. I bring humor and surprise into the artwork.” Cavalieri said he prefers to let viewers interpret his work in their own ways. “When I’m designing a piece, I’ll base it on a story,” he said. “That’s why I’m basing this on ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ She’s disenchanted. She’s living in New York in 2018. Within the artwork itself, I’ll put clues to that story. When people
see the artwork in person, they might see some of the story that I intentionally wanted to show them within the artwork. Stained glass is beautiful. It’s backlit. It’s very emotional with the colors. So there’ll be little clues within it, and viewers might put together a story or a lot of times they’ll make up their own story, which is even better.” Cavalieri is often on the road, most recently in Argentina, Seattle and Pittsburgh to display and teach glassworks. But he said that spending 10 weeks in residency in the slower-paced and bucolic-by-comparison confines of Reading gave him the freedom to indulge in the grand ideas and the painstaking artistic processes he’s been wanting to bring to fruition for a while. “It’s time away from my studio in New York where I can concentrate on my work more seriously, I don’t have the distractions that I have there,” he said. “Not that my boyfriend is a distraction, or my friends there or my family. But doing laundry and going out, all these things get in the way of doing work. I came up with this project a year ago. When I got the call telling me I got the residency, I thought,
Oh my God, I can finally do this project because I wanted to concentrate on making about six pieces in this series. So if I was doing that at home in my studio in New York, it would take a lot longer. Now I have a timeline and a schedule and an exhibit at the very end of the residency, so I know I have to finish on time. I know I work well in those circumstances.” How has Reading itself affected his work? “I came here with designs already finished, so I was doing the production here,” he said. “It has affected my state of being, which is a lot more healthy than New York. In New York, there are a thousand things to do. Here, there’s 10 things to do. But it’s a challenge. I found a local theater that does musicals. I discovered the gay and lesbian community center. Reading has made me produce more work. I have a really nice schedule. It’s a lot simpler, and I have more time for my work here. It’s a good atmosphere. I don’t mind that there isn’t a Starbucks close by. It’s the opposite of New York City — and I like that.” n Joseph Cavalieri’s “Disenchanted Alice” exhibition will be on view Aug. 10-27 at GoggleWorks’ Schmidt Galley, 201 Washington St., Reading.

Indian food
Chef Tim Lanza, the former head chef and creative talent behind the amazingly innovative menus at Marigold Kitchen, has taken his culinary game into Center City for his latest venture, Talk. The locale at first seems like a challenge, located on that stretch of Walnut Street is where the urban bucolic charm of Rittenhouse starts morphing into the frantic, traffic and construction-heavy cattle chute launching commuters onto the Schuykill Expressway or into University City. A place like Talk deserves to be closer to Rittenhouse Square, but that doesn’t seem to deter the healthy number of patrons and locals who packed the place on a steamy weeknight just after rush hour. The aesthetic is tasteful art deco. Who doesn’t like a good Gatsbyinspired night on the town? And the fact that all the duos featured in the artwork are same-sex didn’t go unnoticed either. Well played, Talk, well played. The New American menu offers a robust number of small plates and a handful of entrée-sized offerings, all with the same playfulness and visual flair people familiar with Marigold Kitchen would expect. The light and thinly sliced fluke crudo ($13) holds the mid-range of the flavor profile steady while the sweetness of the watermelon plays off the sea salt, spicy chili and fragrant borage that take up the other end of the flavor spectrum. The savory éclairs ($9) look the part of the sticky pastry you know and love, but the sweet creaminess you expect is supplanted in fine fashion by a chicken-liver mousse whose richness is delightfully cut with a sour-cherry glaze generously
coating the light pastry. The mushrooms ($13) are a nice dichotomy, serving up the star of the dish two ways — as a tart and a taurine. The tart is warm, dense and earthy in texture and flavor, while the taurine goes in the opposite direction as a cool, creamy and light experience on the palette. The Yakitori quail ($16) is another visual stunner. The perfectly roasted petite, elegant bird in its Asian-seasoned glory is the centerpiece of the dish, but the bed of Napa cabbage slaw, sweetened and brightened with gooseberry and plum, almost steals its thunder. And you kind of feel like a flesh-hungry giant on the rampage while tearing into such a tiny roasted bird. Fee-fi-fo …yum!

Suzi Nash
Matthew Rowe: Philly Gay Calendar & me Philly Gay Calendar is one of my prime sources for ideas for this column. Mr. PGC himself, Steve McCann, has been featured here and over the years has been kind enough to respond to my call for contact names and numbers at all hours. So, ’natch, when it comes time for their annual event and fundraiser, The Boys of Summer, I called on Steve for a recommendation. B.o.S helps raise money for Philly Gay Calendar and allows them to be a go-to source, along with PGN of course, for information about what’s happening in our community free of charge. We spoke to one of the event organizers, the fabulous Matthew Rowe. PGN: I understand you’re one of 15 kids. How did that happen? MR: A lot of blending. My mother and father had me and my older biological brother before they split up. My father remarried and had two kids from that marriage. He’s now on his third marriage, and I love this stepmom. She had four kids from her previous marriage, and she’s absolutely amazing. My mother married a widower with seven kids. Birthdays and holidays entail a lot of traveling. PGN: What’s the most difficult part of being in a large family? MR: [Laughing] Trying to get a family picture. Especially when you start adding all the nieces and nephews, I think there are about 19 of them. PGN: How old were you when the family started turning into The Brady Bunch? MR: My parents split when I was 6, and my sister was born in ’97. Technically, she’s a half-sister, but we’re incredibly close and similar. I think she’s secretly a 31-year-old gay man at heart or maybe I’m a 21-year-old girl. PGN: What were you like as a kid? MR: The first few years of my life, I thought my name was “No Matt.” I used to get in trouble a lot. I was just a curious kid, the type to make the kitchen drawers into steps. Yes, that was me. PGN: What was the worst trouble you got into? MR: Probably something with school. I was diagnosed with ADHD and put on medication, but when I got to college, I took myself off it. I wasn’t myself on the drugs — quite frankly, it turned me into an asshole. I was focused and driven, very “don’t bother me.” I wasn’t happy on it. So I stopped taking it and forced myself to focus. PGN: What extracurricular things were you involved with? MR: Typical gay stuff! I was very involved in theater all the way from middle school through college. I was actually the found-
ing president of the Alpha Psi Omega National Theatre Honor Society chapter at Cabrini University. In college, I also got introduced to chorus and music and got hooked. I joined the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus two years ago and I love it.
to hold him up and we were all laughing. It was a fun moment.
PGN: And what do you do now? MR: I work as an administrative assistant for a medical-publishing company. I love it — my boss is a brilliant guy. He’s the senior VP of technology and a great person. Before that, I was a tier-three customer-service rep. I was the guy you got when someone screamed they wanted to talk to the CEO of the company — the last resort to try to calm them down. After four years of getting yelled at for a living, I was burned out.
PGN: Was being gay a part of it? MR: I was outed. My first boyfriend screamed it at my mother, a woman who is a very hardcore Republican Catholic conservative. Basically, I embody everything she is against. She told my stepdad and it quickly spread through the family to my dad, who sat me down, and in a moment that he would now not be proud of — he’s so far from it now — he told me, “Go ahead and be gay, just don’t be a faggot.” Flash-forward, and here I am at Pride this past June in 6-inch heels with a glitter beard and a fan. I’m pretty sure that’s what he was talking about not doing back then. But he’s come leaps and bounds since then — he’s come to as many of the PGMC concerts as he’s been able to and if he
PGN: What is your affiliation with Boys of Summer? MR: Three years ago, Steve McCann asked me to participate as a lifeguard. I wasn’t satisfied to just run around in a Speedo and drink all weekend, so I said, “Only if I can help plan the event.” The next year, I took on a little more and Steve let me start making some new changes. PGN: Such as? MR: Trying to be more inclusive. Instead of the same body types for all the lifeguards, we are trying to be more body-positive and diverse this year. So people will see a bigger variety of body shapes and colors in 2018. I want everybody to be comfortable and feel represented. And one of the things I’m really proud of is that instead of solely being a fundraiser to help Philly Gay Calendar run for the year, now a portion of the proceeds will go towards an LGBT nonprofit. And though I love the big orgs like Mazzoni and DVLF, we’re focusing on donating to some of the smaller groups that don’t always get the bucks — organizations where $1,000 can make a big difference. This year we’re donating to Morris Home, which is a trans recovery center in West Philly. My favorite part is making that phone call saying, “We appreciate what you’re doing and here’s some money towards it.” PGN: Tell me a fun moment with your siblings. MR: My older brother’s 30th birthday. We went over to our dad and stepmom’s house and we just had dinner and cake, but it was the first time I ever really drank with my dad. He’s a retired police officer, and we haven’t always had the easiest time, but my current stepmom has done a lot to loosen him up and I was starting to see the fun side of my dad versus the very strict parental unit. My brother and father got drunk, and my dad was trying to give my brother a sobriety test, but he was so drunk I had

born. She’s been fun. She was a 1920s flapper but she drank too much. Cirrhosis of the liver killed her off. I’m a little on the political side, so this year Stormy Manhole was born, complete with a Cheetos orange dress and Cheetos clutch. I did a song called “Touch Me.” It was so much fun. I love the organization; they do so much for the community. And for my dad to cheer us on is great. PGN: How about your mom? Has she come around? MR: [Long pause and sigh] That relationship struggles. After college, I moved to Rhode Island for work, and then suddenly got laid off and moved back home. I was there for 16 months and it was agonizing. After I moved out, we didn’t talk for about eight months — at all. But I ended up going to Royersford for work one day close to the holidays. There was an accident on 422 tying up traffic, so I pulled off to do some shopping and ran into my mother. We started talking and rebuilding the relationship and things were going OK until 2015, when Donald Trump decided to run for president. The part that kills me. They’re Republican, I get it, they hated Hillary, and they were all going to vote for him, but what I find hard to forgive is that she worked on his campaign. It killed me the night I had to drop her off at Trump headquarters to work her shift. Fast-forward to all that has happened since, and with each disaster, I’m like, “So how do we feel about this latest insanity? Oh, we’re still supporting him? OK, then, let me know when he’s done something so outrageous you can’t support him anymore.” I thought kids in cages would do it, but apparently not. It’s been hard. Before marriage equality, she looked me in the eye and said that if gay marriage were ever put on the ballot, she’d vote no.
PGN: If someone’s never been to Boys of Summer, give me the elevator pitch. MR: We’re trying to bring Photo: Suzi Nash back the circuit parties in a can’t make it, he and my stepmom watch good way. Lots of music and it live online! They’re so supportive. dancing, lots of guys in Speedos and swim PGN: Which is funny because you do a lot of trunks, and lots of fun! the concerts with a drag persona. MR: Yes, we do a drag revue.

Independent art magazine pushes LGBTQ and POC work to the frontlines By Suzannah Cavanaugh PGN Contributor In her three years as an intern, the then assistant director, at Old City art gallery Arch Enemy Arts, Zoe Rayn remembers working First Fridays and usually being the only brown person in the room. Despite her appreciation for Philadelphia’s thriving black, brown and queer art spaces, Rayn said she found it problematic that artists who are celebrated in their own communities seldom found the same recognition within the city’s mainstream art scene. But, in the schism between minority galleries and the larger art arena, Rayn also saw an opportunity: to create an inclusive space that offered all demographics equal exhibition time. In February, after two years of pre-production, her idea went live. She published her first edition of Caldera Magazine. A quarterly arts and literary magazine dedicated to featuring the work of LGBTQIA and POC artists and creatives, Caldera is the newest publication to come off Philadelphia’s independent presses. Available for free online, or in print for $16 a copy, Caldera uses each issue to explore a socially significant theme. The first issue, entitled “45,” offered the artistic reactions of six creatives, through essay, poetry, rap and art, to the election of Donald Trump. The idea came from home. Rayn’s roommate, Carlos Castro-Miranda, is an immigrant who, under the Trump administration, grappled with the consequences of the DACA repeal. His essay chronicling the experience is one of the first issue’s six feature stories. “Carlos is my best friend and we lived together, so I could see firsthand what he was going through post-Trump, because it was very real for some people in this country” Rayn said. “I decided to see if that was a theme that other artists and creatives in the POC and queer communities wanted to explore, and
CALDERA POP-UP AT YOWIE
they did, of course.” Rayn’s readership was equally interested in “45.” Her first issue sold out at both Arch Enemy Arts and Queen Village shop Yowee, its two storefront locations. For the second issue, which came out July 10, Rayn expanded her artist lineup to 12 for an exploration of gender and sexuality. She said she’s excited for the contrasting content this issue produced, and happy it came from a more-celebratory place. “It’s interesting, because the issue has a mix of straight POC artists, mainly female, expressing their experiences,” Rayn said. “Then there are photographers like Marcus Branch, who has a very delicate take on highlighting brown, queer men in softer, non-intimidating styles. And there’s another photographer named Cecil Shang Whaley, who does film photography that’s a lot more grungy and a part of the alt-queer community.” To promote Caldera through its first year, Rayn also teamed up with Ox Coffee for a summer-long residency she’s using to host a series of bimonthly, free events in the café’s backyard. To date, her programming has included a poetry reading, a panel discussion featuring Streets Dept’s Conrad Benner and art-making workshops intended for children, but which have proved irresistible to millenial crowds. A second poetry reading, with magazine-featured poet Samya Abu-Orf, took place July 22. As Caldera continues to print and grow, Rayn said she hopes the magazine can be the catalyst for a moreevolved gallery landscape, one where artwork by queer and POC artists is no longer a novelty. “I want there to be a platform of honest representation, not be doing the, ‘We’re going to invite one brown or one queer artist,’ because that’s enough,” Rayn said. “I want my space to be doing that all day, every day, and not be trying to make the artists’ work more digestible to a POETRY READING WITH SAMYA ABU-ORF white audience.” n
