LOOK AROUND. This is the payoff for a long and arduous winter. Spring is in bloom and the pulse of the city is quickly picking up. With many events and opportunities in the works, it is hard to keep up. The good news is you don’t have to; you just have to pick the ones you can do and have fun. As you look through this issue you will see that the Quorum crew made it to a few events and have the pictures to prove it.

Speaking of opportunities and making choices, this month we feature Gregg Dodd, who kicked off 2014 by making a list of 52 goals to accomplish by year’s end that he calls #greggslist. He is making strides on his list and we tagged along for his latest adventure. For Mother’s Day, local mom Meg Alley shares the story of Braelin, her 7-year-old transgender son. We interview Columbus native Kevin Farrell about the release of this book, Confessions of a Drag Queen Tupperware® Lady. We also preview one of my favorite spring events, the TransOhio Symposium.

Having attended twice, I highly recommend it to everyone.

All of this and our columnists have been very busy too. Josh McConaughy chats with Dylan Barile from Wine Trends to learn more about vino. Sarah Ernest encourages the eradication of “the r word” from our vocabulary. Adrian Neil, Jr. shared about his involvement with the Young Black Gay Men’s Leadership Initiative. Clayton Walter reviews the queer farming documentary, Out Here. The Taste Buds take an early morning motorcycle ride to Dan’s Drive In.

Thankfully, Ohio recently took an interesting step forward on the path to marriage equality. Rick Neal wraps up this issue with the story of the Ohio Marriage Caravan.

SARA SHARES

| SARA ERNEST EACH OF US RESPONDS in our own way to words. Some of us pick apart every nuance of a sentence and analyze every word choice to determine exactly what is meant by the speaker. The phrase “reading between the lines” comes to mind. Others let most words roll off their backs. The simple fact though is that words affect each of us in some way.

Think about your angriest moment. I would be willing to bet it starts with something along the lines of, “I got into an argument with someone because they said I…” Now let’s think about the times we have tried to make people mad. Sure, there were probably instances when we kissed someone we shouldn’t have or “borrowed” something without asking, but I would be willing to bet that nine times out of 10, it all came down to us running our mouths with the intent of hurting someone else’s feelings.

Every community has slurs that are used against its members on a regular basis. The LGBTQ community is painfully familiar with that. We have some options though to change the game. It is up to us to take the power out of those words.

The most common way to take the power out the slurs that are hurled against us is an awareness campaign. A few years ago, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) started the Think B4 You Speak Campaign aimed at educating people about the harmful effects of using the phrase “That’s so gay” or any derivative of it. According to thinkb4youspeak.com, “the goal (of the campaign) is to reduce and prevent the use of homophobic language in an effort to create a more positive environment for LGBT teens.”

LEARN MORE: r-word.org glsen.org 6

MAY 2014

The people at GLSEN knew the only way to change the mentality that it was acceptable to use the word” gay” in place of “dumb” or “ugly” or “stupid” was to put it into a perspective that people could understand and ask them if they knew what they were saying when they said, “That’s so gay.”

We are not the only community faced with such a problem. The special needs community deals with a similar situation as well. Every day, numerous members of our human family are relegated to a lower place in society by “the r word.” The simple fact that these people were born with a developmental disability makes some people think that they are a lesser class of person.

Intellectual and developmental disabilities come in many forms and affect people in all walks of life. People in every corner of the world are affected by any number of developmental challenges, from autism and Down Syndrome to dyslexia and ADHD. The problem is that people who throw around “the r word,” don’t take the time to learn the differences between these challenges. They don’t see the individual behind the label and what all they have to offer.

It seems to me that the LGBTQ community has something in common with the special needs community that many of us have probably never thought about.

We know firsthand what it feels like to be slapped with a label that doesn’t really apply to us.

I know many people think that “retarded” is “just a word” and “how much harm could it really cause?” I would call on my LGBTQ brothers and sisters to stop and answer that question for themselves and consider how much easier it would be to use a word that is actually appropriate. It is our job as human beings to make the world a better place for the rest of our human family. A good place to focus our energies would be for us to “Spread the Word to End the Word.”

We Drink Wine with Diamonds in the Glass | JOSH MCCONAUGHY

SCENE

WHETHER YOU’RE A FAN of a full-bodied red with dinner, strictly stick to chardonnay at parties or like a bold bubbly on special occasions, everyone enjoys a nice glass of wine from time to time. If you’re anything like me, you know the basics about wine: white with chicken and fish, red with steak, don’t ask for an ice cube in your “mer-lot” and white zinfandel is not a great choice if you’re over the age of 20. Sound familiar?

I wanted to educate myself more and learn about the unique wine offerings that Columbus offers, so I had a lovely conversation with my good friend Dylan Barile while we sipped vino. Dylan is a sales representative for Wine Trends in Columbus and has always impressed me with his ability to choose a perfect bottle of wine, whether it costs $10 or $100.

Dylan’s first recommendation for someone looking to experience great wine and food tasting events in Columbus is the Taste of Dine Originals on May 15 at the Capital University Field House. Attendees can sample regional wines and food from 30 vineyards, three craft breweries and 48 restaurants.

He also suggests visiting different retail shops such as Wine on High in the Short North, House Wine in Old Worthington, The Twisted Vine in Grandview and Meza Wine Shop in Westerville. These shops offer affordable happy hour tastings so you can sample a variety of different wines to see which you like the best.

Weiland’s Market in Clintonville also has a great wine department, according to Dylan. He says, “They have one of the most knowledgeable wine staffs in the city of Columbus with great French and Italian wine sections.”

8

MAY 2014

If you want to impress your dinner date with your taste in fine wine, try the highly recommended DeepWood restaurant for a unique dining experience.

Located at 511 N. High St. across from the convention center, they are known for their great wine and artisan cocktails, as well as their inspired menu.

So what does this year hold in store for wine drinkers? Dylan shares that trendy red blends are still very popular and usually very affordable, but 2014 might be the year that chardonnay comes back with a vengeance. Wine producers in Australia, California and the Pacific Northwest are showing excitement about chardonnay in the coming year, so look for it to gain popularity in the next couple seasons.

It was great to catch up with my good friend Dylan over a bottle of wine. Check out the link below for a list of some of the many locations to explore wine options in Columbus. No matter your preference, a sophisticated wine event can be a nice alternative to far too many Vodka Red Bulls at the bar. Plus, you may even learn something interesting.

Fusion’s Fabulous Year COLLEGE SCENE

| MICKEY J. HART WHAT STARTED YEAR’S ago as an ad-hoc organization is now one of Stonewall Columbus’ on-going programs. Stonewall Fusion is a social space for the central Ohio college-aged LGBTQ community. The socials offer attendees an alcohol-free venue that features music, dancing, food, games and drag performances. Fusion is held on the first Friday of months that the local colleges and universities are in session.

This year’s socials were themed Back to School, Halloween’s Revenge, Winter Bash, Luau Lounge and Valentine’s Day Bash. The Great Queersby Fusion Prom wrapped up this year’s socials on April 4 at Columbus State Community College.

Longtime Fusion hostess Alexis Stevens and special guest Selena T. West entertained the prom crowd. The fun starts up again next fall.

PARENTING

Butterflies, flowers and ... Spider-Man? | MEG ALLEY

WHEN I WAS ASKED to write a perspective piece on transgender issues, my first thought was, “I’m not a writer, nor am I transgender. But perspective? I have perspective.”

I’m the fortunate parent of a transgender 7 year old.

I held to the belief that maybe she was just confused. I was terrified about what it meant for Braelin (a coincidentally androgenous name) in the world. How could I protect and defend and be the greatest advocate possible?

After two boys, I anxiously awaited the ultrasound results. When I heard “It’s a girl,” tears streamed down my face. Finally I was going to have a girl. It was time for butterflies, flowers and cute little outfits. I’m not a girlie girl, so I wasn’t planning for frills and lace. At the very least, there would be no more Spider-Man.

I sought professional guidance to try to understand my role.

What I uncovered was less about Braelin and all about me: my own fears of being judged. I was facing intense scrutiny from those around me. Would I be blamed as a parent for somehow causing this? What would people think of me? What if I did it wrong and somehow made things worse? How was I going to accept this so my child could go into the world with complete self-love and understanding? Was I even capable of the strength needed to be his advocate? A very wise man told me to take a deep breath and let Braelin be my guide.

She had all the parts that made her a girl except for the one I couldn’t see. Deep down inside, in the very core of her being, my girl was really a boy. While seeking answers to behavioral issues like ADHD, I was told she was Gender Dysphoric: discontent with her assigned gender. This was an official diagnosis for which there was no treatment or cure.

My husband and I were already saying things like, “You can be whatever you want when you grow up” and “You were born with girl parts, but that doesn’t make you a girl.”

DEEP DOWN INSIDE ...

MY GIRL WAS REALLY A BOY. Without fully understanding or knowing what being

transgender meant, we were already opening the doors of acceptance. Family and friends tried to reassure us that it was “just a phase” and that “she’s just a tomboy with older brothers” or even “she’s doing it because she gets attention.”

Ignorance often leads to blame or quick assumptions.

It’s not that I believe people were trying to be hurtful, but the reality of what we were facing couldn’t be easily dismissed. I don’t blame them for not understanding. After all, I had no idea of what it meant to be transgender, so how could I expect them to?

Armed with only unconditional love, I set out to navigate and understand. I doubted, denied, cried and even panicked at times. I am extremely open-minded and accepting, but this took me to the extreme edge of what I could comprehend. I secretly harbored the notion that someday we would look back and say, “Remember when you wanted so badly to be a boy?”

This has been a lengthy process of grieving, letting go and accepting, a process I wasn’t expecting and for which I didn’t feel prepared. I felt such a deep sense of loss mixed with triumphant moments of love and awe. I had to quit fighting my own demons.

The turning point for me was letting Braelin cut his hair “like a boy.” He would beg and plead, but I wasn’t ready to let go of my little girl. He snuck away with scissors and cut his own hair three times before he was 5 years old. I wanted to protect him from ridicule and bullying. I envisioned the kids at the bus stop, laughing and pointing. When the chair was turned and he saw his hair for the first time, I thought his smile would blind me. He felt complete with a simple haircut. I gave him the greatest gift I could ever give to him: abandoning my selfish fears and give him freedom to be who he truly was. It was one of the most cathartic moments on my journey of accepting.

At the bus stop, I hesitantly followed him, dreading the reaction of the other kids. They said, “You look like a boy!” to which Braelin responded, “I know! Isn’t it awesome?!”

I am so proud to be the parent of a transgender child and so grateful to have the opportunity to be having this conversation.

Editor’s Note: We are thrilled that Meg Alley has started this conversation in time for Mother’s Day. She will continue the conversation of her journey in raising a transgender child in future issues

Oh! the DRAUMA!

| MICKEY J. HART

THE BLUESTONE WAS packed on April 19 for DRAUMA. It was packed with fashion designers, hairstylists, makeup artists, body painters, models, DJs, dancers, music, theatrics, performers, talent, creativity, extremes, applause and drama. The venue offered guests a variety of spaces to enjoy, such as the outdoor dance tent, a cabaret room, a photo booth and several lounge areas. While each space offered something special, the focus of the night was clearly on the main stage, complete with a runway of non-stop fun, fashions and fantasy.

Drag Queen Nina West and L.A.-based indie electro/pop group Happy Pills were the headliners of the night that included 10 additional performers and DJs. DRAUMA also served as the Alternative Fashion Week’s “Kick Off” Show. The 18 Alternate Fashion Mob designers shared a sampling of their works, while over 14 other designers offered larger collections. All combined, it made for an impressive fashion showing judging from the crowd’s ecstatic reaction throughout the show.

Evolved Body Art and Rendezvous Hair Salon know how to present an entertaining spectacle with wide-reaching appeal.

They also know how to pay it forward with a portion of the DRAUMA proceeds benefitting Prayers for Alex, Sidreh and the Columbus Youth Guild.

Dee W. Ieye's Fresh Story

Q&A

| ISAAC BENDELE WE CAUGHT COLUMBUS native Kevin Farrell just after a return flight from L.A. as part of his book release tour. In Confessions of a Drag Queen Tupperware® Lady, Farrell tells his story of a rising actor who turned a hobby to supplement his income into a career. He created the Dee W. leye persona and, with his stylized approach to drag, quickly became North America’s number one Tupperware sales person. However, Farrell does more than sell wonderful plastic containers in drag at great parties. Making people laugh brightens Dee’s day and this casual Q & A brightened ours.

I was approached by Nancy Sayles at a party in Woodland Hills, CA. She was intrigued by me and my story.

Tootsie meets 2012! She asked if my story had ever been told. I said, “No.” She offered to be my publisher and away we went. People are always asking me at my parties my story and how I got started. Now it’s in a book.

I love the fact that I did a party where I was convinced that all the couples there were wife swappers. I had this odd feeling throughout the party that something was up. I can’t tell you for SURE they all were swingers, but I had never had that feeling in my gut before.

W

hat is one of your favorite moments from selling and performing over the years?

I really like how my life has turned out. I always knew I’d make it as an entertainer. I had it all planned out: famous actor, money, reputation, successful. I thought it would be as Kevin – boy actor. But now it’s Dee W. Ieye – famous drag queen Tupperware Lady. I got the end product, but what’s funny is it all came in different packaging.

I love, love, love charities, especially children’s charities. I love to do fundraisers to help kids.

Sometimes, I do my Tupperware show or I do a BINGO party as a fundraiser. Both are great ways to have fun and help charities.

Really – having my lunch meetings with Nancy in Toluca Lake, CA. We’d meet for sushi.

I’d tell her my stories. We’d laugh and enjoy good food. When I moved back to Ohio, I left some great friends behind. They will always be in my life, like Nancy now being my publisher and publicist. But we have to Skype our sushi sessions now and the threehour difference is not so convenient.

Kf

I love to make a difference in someone’s day. Someone may be going through a difficult time and I am able to help them escape that for a period of time. Laughter is a great release and a great healer.

I had a woman host a party once in L.A. After the party she talked to me in her driveway as I was packing up the car (as Kevin – not as Dee). She thanked me for a lovely evening. She had not had anyone in her house for over a year. She had shot a home intruder the year previous, who lived. The year had been a year of court battles and unhappiness as this man tried to sue her for shooting him. She said that she had not had anyone in the house and having all her family and friends in the house laughing and having a good time was like having the house blessed. It, seriously, made me cry. I love moments like that. It validates what I do for a living.

It’s more than selling plastic – it’s changing lives.

SEXPERT SEXPERT

| JOHN HENRY, JR SUMMER IS ALMOST here and the temperature outside is not the only thing heating up. Our sexual desires are at their peak during the warmer months. Research showing a spike in Google keyword searches for words related to pornography, prostitution and dating sites during June and July as well as increased birth and STI rates in the months following all support this claim. Whether it’s the increase in social opportunities, the scant clothing of the season or some biological inclination, something about summer gets us hot. So, here are a few suggestions to make the most of your summer lust and keep you safe.

CRUISING FROM YOUR FAVORITE PATIO BAR CAN BE A BLAST, BUT DON’T LOSE YOUR SENSES Drinking and summer seem intrinsically bonded. There is almost nothing better than a cool drink on a warm day.

However, one too many can make the next day hellish in more than one way. Waking up next to a stranger is never fun and that person is almost never as attractive as you may have thought the night before. Also, sex just isn’t that great when one or both partners cannot function to their full potential. Cruising from your favorite bar patio can be a blast but don’t lose your senses. If you are going out drinking, surround yourself with friends and focus on the task at hand. If you are out for a different reason, keep your drinking in check.

Next, always be prepared. You never know when a “new friend” may come along and you should never rely on the other person to have protection.

Keep condoms with you at all times so you are ready if and when the opportunity presents itself.

Any time you leave the house, put a couple in your pocket for good measure. It is also important to keep your latex out of direct sunlight and heat.

That means don’t keep a box in the car or one in your wallet. Heat and pressure are latex’s worst enemies.

18

MAY 2014

And last, but certainly not least, have fun! Summer is an amazing time in Columbus. People are out and about and there is always something going on. With a different festival almost every weekend, concerts throughout the city and a truly amazing nightlife, the possibilities are endless. Summer is probably the best time to meet that special someone or reignite the flame of a current relationship. As always, be smart, stay safe and enjoy your summer.

Dan's Drive In: Breakfast

and

Beyond

THE TASTE BUDS

| CRAIG CHADWELL & MIKE MOFFO AS SUMMER NEARS and the allure of sunny mornings springs us out of bed a bit sooner, the first thing that comes to our minds is: “Where is a great place to have breakfast?” For the Taste Buds, a go-to favorite is Dan’s Drive In located at 1881 S. High St., just south of German Village.

With a diner-style menu that spans all mealtimes, Dan’s is far more than just a breakfast spot. It has a Greek influence and their Gyros are out of this world. But, we digress. Dan’s is a place where we meet many of our biker friends for breakfast before we head off on a ride.

A quick shot down High Street and you have access to many of Ohio’s most beautiful roads and rides.

The prices at Dan’s are incomparable. One favorite is the Big Country Breakfast. At $4.99, it includes homemade biscuits topped with their own sausage gravy, two eggs, home fries and sausage patties. $4.99! Their Eggs Benedict at $6.19 is one of the best Eggs Benedict we have ever tried.

The service staff still treats you the way they would have back then, too. Friendly, upbeat, fast service gets you in and out quickly. In addition to all of this, they keep the place very clean.

The clientele at Dan’s is as varied as their food. You will see everything from the suburban minivan mom to bikers to members of the LGBTQ community and everything in between. Everyone gets along.

Often times, conversation will go between tables. The place just fosters a friendly feel.

We find ourselves at Dan’s a few times every month.

Never have we been unhappy. The service, the food, the environment – it is always great!

We give Dan’s an enthusiastic four thumbs up. And when you see a group of bikers sitting there, don’t be shy to say hello. You never know, it could be our group!

They also have a variety of skillets. One of our favorites is the Vegetarian Skillet (with a cheat): tomatoes, spinach, onions, green peppers, zucchini, scrambled eggs and home fries, all topped with cheddar and mozzarella. We, however, like to add gyro meat to the dish, making it not vegetarian at all, but all the more delicious to us.

Dan’s is an absolute throwback. You walk into a feeling of the ’50s. You can almost picture a sock hop happening inside. This has probably happened, considering it has been there since 1951.

YOU WILL SEE EVERYTHING FROM THE SUBURBAN MINIVAN MOM TO BIKERS TO MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY

Craig & Mike have been a couple for more than 11 years and were married in Washington, DC, in 2012. They are the proud parents of three young adults. They appreciate friends, riding their motorcycles, reasonably-priced local eateries, good wine and a nice IPA beer.

With the amazing number of excellent locally-owned restaurants in Columbus, they always encourage you to “eat local” to support local businesses.

The Li fe Real Journey Gregg Dodd of

#greggslist | ISAAC BENDELE LIFE IS A JOURNEY – so enjoy the side trips. And 2014 is a series of side trips for Gregg Dodd. Part New Year’s resolution and part bucket list, for some, it might be a list that is achieved in a lifetime. Gregg set out on Jan. 1 to accomplish 52 things he’s never done before, averaging one new thing each week. For him, it’s a personal challenge to seize each and every moment of the year.

In 2012, Gregg made headlines with his famous “hug-log” that even I was included in on March 3. You may remember that he set out to hug at least one person a day and track it in a little black book that he was rarely found without. This simplistic, yet inspiring, 2012 New Year’s resolution quickly found him inspiring hugs throughout our city. Gregg tells me, “People that I didn’t even know were coming up to me off the street and asking me if they could hug me because they wanted to be included in my ‘hug-log.’” Like the 60’s, he inspired free love. Well, at least free hugs. And out of this, his 2014 #greggslist was born.

Take a cooking class

Like most of us do, Gregg woke up on New Year’s Day and made his list of resolutions. The list didn’t include the typical things like losing weight, saving money or quitting smoking.

Instead, his resolution list included a long list of “people, places or things” that he’s never experienced. Have you ever seen something in a movie, read something in a book or saw a photo on your news feed and said, “I want to try that someday”? 2014 is Gregg’s “someday.” Like the hug-log, it started as a personal journey when he simply wrote out his list on his floor-toceiling chalkboard wall in his kitchen and posted the photo on Facebook. From there, “his” journey became “our” journey.

Taking only 15 minutes to jot down on his chalkboard, the list became real. With an inspiring balance of complex and simple tasks, Gregg’s list came to life. “It’s about making that personal connection and knowing when to seize the right moment,” Gregg tells me. Authenticity to Gregg is key for making true life experiences with intimate, indelible moments to hold dear for the rest of his life.

“The best part about this entire experience is the outpouring of support,” Gregg tells me. “From the moment that I posted the list on Facebook, friends have signed onto be part of the journey and help me accomplish specific items that were on their own bucket list. And even more profound than that are the dozens of individuals who have told me that my list has inspired their own list to accomplish this year. And that in and of itself makes it all worthwhile and adds meaning to each number I cross off.”

Quorum will be following Gregg on his progress, encouraging him and sending him messages of inspiration and encouragement. He’s hopeful, but not certain if he’ll succeed in accomplishing every item on his list. We’re rooting for him to turn “someday” into ”today” for each number by year’s end.

SCENE

| MIKE MOFFO BACK WHEN I WAS barely old enough to walk, my parents bought me my first dirt bike. I remember taping flashlights to the front of that bike so that I could ride at night. We lived out in the country and there were no neighbors close enough to bother, so I rode. Constantly.

From there, motorcycles – especially road bikes became an obsession.

As I aged, the thought of having a road bike wouldn’t leave my head. At the age of 16, I got my license and I rode. I submerged myself into the biker culture. I was part of a now defunct motorcycle club and continued that way until coming out 12 years ago.

Back then, I never expected that I would ever be allowed into that biker culture again. I assumed the camaraderie of being a motorcyclist was something that was “no longer,” so I almost gave up on riding.

A few years back, the urge hit me again, and hard. It became an obsession again. I had to be on the open road. My husband Craig and I talked it through and decided it was something that we could swing. I bought a bike again. After riding passenger for a while, Craig decided he wanted to give it a try. We got him a bike and we started riding together. That feeling of being together yet being lost in our own thoughts was something we both fell in love with.

As we continued, we befriended many other bikers.

Straight bikers. Those people you see and assume that they would be mean and gruff and would hate on gays. But they didn’t. They accepted us into their biker families like we were no different than the next guy. No judgment, no harassment, no negativity. In the mind of most bikers, if you’re “on two,” you’re family, no matter who you love or what sexuality you claim. You, to them, are a brother or sister of the road.

We have been on many long-distance rides with our new-found families. Myrtle Beach, Chicago and all over Ohio. Never have we had an issue. We have gained such a mass of friends and supporters out of this that we feel silly for ever expecting otherwise.

MAY 2014

Recently, we befriended a motorcycle club. These men and women dedicate so much time and money to charities that you would think they would never have time to ride. They are solidly some of the best people we have ever met.

Last spring, their president approached us about becoming members. He had talked to everyone in his chapter and made sure no one had a problem with us being who we are. Unanimously, they decided that they wanted us to be part of the group.

THAT FEELING OF BEING TOGETHER YET BEING LOST IN OUR OWN THOUGHTS WAS SOMETHING WE BOTH FELL IN LOVE WITH. Though we didn’t choose to become full members, we do consider ourselves “hang-arounds,” people who support this brotherhood as much as we can. We often will ride with the group to different destinations. Be it a poker run or just a ride for fun, these are some of the greatest people to ride with. And it isn’t that they accept us; it is that they don’t even acknowledge that we are “different.” We are their brothers, no matter what.

Riding a motorcycle, be it solo or with a group, is the most freeing feeling you could ever experience. The fear of the unknown, the beautiful scenery, the feeling of absolute freedom … the experience is something that I have never found anywhere else.

I have always joked, ”One minute you hold your breath to keep from smelling the road kill you just passed, and the next, you are breathing in the lilacs you see growing down the hill.” Riding puts you in touch with all things nature. Riding clears your mind. Riding sets you free.

LEADERS OF TODAY PERSPECTIVE

| ADRIAN NEIL, JR. RECENTLY I HAD BEEN struggling with my career decision, doubting whether or not the work I am doing is affecting change. There are few young African American men who have sex with men (MSM) in Columbus who are in key positions in the field of HIV prevention, policy and advocacy or who have a desire to mobilize the African American MSM community. I often felt alone and without support in my struggle, but all that changed on April 2 when I became part of the Young Black Gay Men’s Leadership Initiative (YBGLI). I dedicate this column to them.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced an alarming 48 percent increase of new HIV cases among young African American MSM between the ages of 13 – 29.

As a result, the National Black Gay Men’s Advocacy Coalition assembled five dynamic young gay leaders to strategize to address the need for increased peer-based community mobilization and activism in combatting the HIV epidemic.

In the spring of 2012 the five leaders created the YBGLI.

The initiative is led by an organizing committee of young black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) under the age of 30 with professional backgrounds in research, community mobilization, policy and advocacy. Membership consists of young African American gay, bisexual, and/or same gender loving men from different areas of the country. The initiative’s mission is to address the issues disproportionately affecting their peers, particularly related to HIV prevention, care and treatment, through leadership mobilization and policy efforts.

In 2012 the YBGLI hosted its first Policy and Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C. Fifty-three African American MSM came together to discuss the HIV/AIDS epidemic and different ways they could contribute to the fighting it and to address other disparities within the MSM of color community.

Members also participated in discussions on research, policy, advocacy, leadership, health disparities and mobilization.

I applied to and was accepted to attend the recent 2014 YBGLI Policy and Advocacy Summit in Atlanta, Georgia. The summit was one of the most inspiring, motivating and educational experiences in my life. I was surrounded by like-minded men who shared the same passion I have for mobilizing YBMSM to become mentally, physically and emotionally empowered. It was so refreshing since it was so different from what I have experienced in Columbus or in Ohio.

This year’s summit also included 58 of the most passionate and determined YBMSM. We were chosen to be a part of the summit based on the work they were doing and the potential we had to become better leaders within their communities. We gathered to discuss HIV/AIDS, policy, advocacy, Obamacare, the African American church and homosexuality, stigma and ways we can mobilize our communities. To be able to be in a room with so many diverse and inspiring men was simply amazing.

From the moment I stepped onto the plane to Atlanta, I knew my life would change. Prior to attending the summit, I was struggling with the fact that there are very few African American MSM who are open about their sexuality to look up to as leaders in Columbus, and I was continuously looking for others like myself who I can look up to for advice, affirmation and lean on for support. I now know that I am not alone. It is empowering to have a group of supporters throughout the nation who I can call on and look up to. I no longer struggle; instead, I am stepping up to be one of the few YBMSM leaders in my community. My passion for the work I do was reignited by the summit and I left knowing that the work I am doing is needed and supported. No matter what challenges that I have or will face, I will never give up.

MORE ART, MORE MONET

DEVELOPMENT

| JM RAYBURN INVESTMENTS IN THE ARTS have a return on investment for individuals, neighborhoods and cities. This has been true for centuries. Powerful countries have invested their riches in public art, architecture and music, and those investments play a role in showcasing economic strength and desirability. People flock to cities and regions to see these works, and the arts directly improve the quality of life a place offers its residents. The arts economy aggregates all of these investments and activities so we can measure the economic impact or the dollar amount the arts contributes to the overall economy.

The arts economy has never been more important.

As Kenny McDonald, CEO of Columbus 2020, said, “A strong cultural community conveys that your place is engaging and open. Smart and creative people seek interesting work, interesting places in which to do their work and opportunities to work with interesting people.” The presence of a dynamic arts scene is evidence of a community’s ability to serve the needs of both up-and-coming and top talent, which helps to attract and retain top employers.

Columbus is fortunate to have the Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC) to support the arts and advance culture of the region. The GCAC funds exemplary artists and arts organizations and provide programs, events and services of public value that educate and engage all audiences in our community. The GCAC also provides periodic reporting on the breadth of the Columbus arts economy.

The Columbus arts economy generates $226 million in economic activity and supports 8,500 jobs. It is a huge economic force of artists, museum workers, arts marketers and more. When we add in the for-profit creative sector, Columbus is an arts powerhouse with over $3 billion in annual receipts and 25,000 jobs. In 2011, for every public

BY THE CITY IN ARTS AND CULTURE, $34.57 WAS PUMPED BACK INTO THE LOCAL ECONOMY. dollar invested by the city in arts and culture, $34.57 was pumped back into the local economy from other sources, including earned income by arts organizations. That is a superb return on investment and it speaks volumes to the benefits of art investments for economic development.

The GCAC reporting also highlights the vital role arts organizations play as they contributed more than $79 million to the Columbus economy through direct expenditures. In addition, these organizations’ programming provided more than 4.3 million arts experiences for Columbus residents and served 369,000 school children.

Now that we have data on the arts economy, how can we identify growth opportunities and raise the bar higher? A few years ago, Mayor Michael B. Coleman commissioned a study of how to increase funding for tourism and the arts.

The study found that an additional $8.6 million is needed to sustain the arts, create jobs and increase tourism. Since then, the city budget has included funding increases for tourism and arts. Mayor Coleman also identified a growth

opportunity in city’s hotel bed tax. This tax is a standard practice of local governments across the United States to generate revenue from visitors who use public services but do not pay local taxes as residents do.

The local bed tax was traditionally divided almost 5050 between the Franklin County Convention Facilities Authority and the City of Columbus. The city would then divide its share five ways, with Experience Columbus, the Greater Columbus Arts Council, the Columbus Housing Trust Corporation, human-services agencies and the city’s general revenue fund each getting a cut.

Two years ago, the City of Columbus restructured the hotel bed tax. Columbus now gives its cut entirely to tourism, arts and human-services spending. As a result, funding for the arts increased by $700,000 or 24.5 percent over the previous year. Mayor Coleman also signed an executive order to establish the new Columbus Public Art Program, which will allocate a minimum of $250,000 per year to public art projects. I would like to see public art projects in the form of painting the street, murals, sculptures—basically anything that creates visual interest and surprise, which also slows down vehicular traffic.

A great way for you to support the local arts is to attend the Columbus Arts Festival on June 6 - 8 this year. The festival hosts hundreds of juried artists from across the United States, as well as several international artists. Last year, nearly 450,000 people were in attendance and more than $200,000 was raised for arts programming in the region.

out here Yields a Bountiful Harvest MOVIES

| CLAYTON WALTER LGBTQ PEOPLE LIVING in rural areas sometimes dream of escaping their small, often conservative communities for the thriving liberalism of big cities. The diversity of metropolitan areas means anyone can find people they relate to and feel at home. For many LGBTQ people, the idea that such a sense of inclusion and warmth can be found in more isolated places, far from the lights and noise of the city, seems like a fantasy.

But such is the case of the communities featured in Jonah Mossberg’s Out Here, a documentary about queer farmers.

From the film’s outset, Mossberg admits the relative futility of making such a film: There’s no way to exhaustively chronicle the lives and work of these farmers or to focus all that he saw into a fine point. The queer farming community is just as diverse as any other collection of people, with the film’s subjects coming from different ethnic backgrounds, community types and family situations. They represent the rare minorities – sexual and often racial – that work in an industry dominated by straight white men.

Even labeling the collection of farmers shown in the film – seven farms are shown of the dozens that Mossberg visited while filming over the course of four years – as “queer farmers” proves problematic, and thus emblematic of how vivid and exciting their community is. An opening montage tasks the farmers with defining queer, eliciting a range of answers involving sexual identity, political status and relation to the larger community. Similarly, the film later asks for them to define farming, which again brings out a variety of perspectives and ideas.

32

MAY 2014

Thus, while Out Here’s subjects share little in common with each other, that lack of commonality speaks to the one broad observation Mossberg can garner from his trek across the country: that there is no easy way to survey queer farming. None of the farmers get a ton of time on screen (the film flies by at barely more than an hour long), so viewers get small tastes of life on a goat farm in Kansas or a children’s garden in Philadelphia.

Mossberg cracks open the door to a world that many (myself included) may have never even thought of, so urban-minded are many in the LGBTQ community.

The film has a charming, appropriately homegrown feel to it; Mossberg allows the farmers to riff on the farming process, the allure of farming and matters of identity.

Much of the most interesting discourse is on which communities the farmers feel most closely connected to. Far from the dense pockets of sexual minorities in big cities, most of the farmers feel most connected to their farming friends and the people in their communities that they provide food. A lesbian couple in Kansas talks about how they feel close to other families they connected with after having their son. There’s a thrilling sense of identity that is more than sexually based; these people are gay, lesbian and transgender, yes, but they are so much more than their sexuality. They are mothers, sons, friends, workers, church-goers and contributors to communities in big cities and far smaller rural areas.

Out Here reminds us that there are many stories to tell in the LGBTQ community and as many perspectives, goals and lifestyles as there are people. The diversity is beautiful. It doesn’t create division, but rather gives more reason to celebrate what an interesting, eclectic community we are, finding meaning and happiness in many ways, in endless places. on hand for a Q&A session after the film.

Out Here was screened at the Ohio Union on Tuesday, April 15 through the sponsorship of several OSU and College of Wooster departments and groups. Filmmaker Jonah Mossberg and Ohio queer farmers Josh Coltman (Williamsfield, OH), Caty Crabb (Rutland, OH) and Derek S. Lory (Clintonville, OH) were on hand for a Q&A session after the film.

WHEN IT COMES TO TRENDS in the fitness industry, core exercises have lasted and increased in popularity over the years. You know something has caught on when new students ask about specific terminology and exercises (i.e. ab-roller and crunches) during the first training session. While kettle-bells, myofascial release and plyometric are still foreign to many, virtually everyone knows about planks and how to hold one (Until they are told to do so for more than 10 seconds).

Despite the fact that the plank is usually associated with core training, students often ask me how the sensation felt in their shoulders, legs or low back is training the abs. In truth, this lack of understanding by students and fitness goers really illustrates the issue many fitness professionals face when prescribing exercises that are intended to train core stability.

Though many fitness enthusiasts know how to crunch their abs into submission, few actually possess an understanding of how to properly engage these muscles in daily life. To perform a plank correctly, you must be able to engage your core muscles to create a neutral spine, which is the correct position during walking, squatting and daily life movement.

Let me explain why the plank is such a great exercise.

The abdominals tighten around the spine to provide support during exercise or daily tasks such as bending over and rotating. Contracting the abs in a plank is known as an abdominal brace. As opposed to drawing in the waist to the spine, planking involves a simultaneous contraction of all abdominal muscles to provide additional stiffness and support to the spine. This method of creating strength in the muscles around the spine will help the body create power and reduce pain such as lower back issues.

THIS...WILL HELP THE BODY CREATE POWER AND REDUCE PAIN SUCH AS LOWER BACK ISSUES. 34

MAY 2014

PLANK

While this reaction happens automatically with healthy adults with a strong mid-section, a lack of conscious control during exercise is often related to a host of issues such as back pain and weakness of core muscles deep inside our bodies. While the outer core consists of the visible stomach muscles (rectus abdominis and obliques), the muscles of the inner core are located close to our joints (multifidus, diaphragm, pelvic floor and transverse abdominis). The function of these muscles is to contract isometrically before movement occurs to stabilize the joints. If this cannot be achieved, the chance of injury increases and the ability to create significant power will not exist.

The most important thing to understand about this idea is that these muscles must fire before any movement takes place in order to create stability.

Interestingly, a timing delay in this reaction has been found to exist in fitness goers with chronic back pain – illustrating the fact that the presence of chronic or acute pain can throw off the way our inner core fires and stabilizes the body. By contrast, the muscles of the outer core are responsible for moving or preventing motion of the extremities and trunk after the inner core muscles have fired.

A common error made in training programs for students who are deconditioned or returning from injury is an overabundance of outer core training without re-establishing control of these inner core muscles. But in order to do so, we must first establish whether or not these muscles are working correctly and whether the client is able to actively engage an abdominal brace. For this purpose, we can rely on several key tests, but one of the best and easiest to perform tests is to perform a plank in perfect form for at least two minutes. If this can be achieved, it will prove your core muscles are stabilizing correctly and working efficiently.

Jo & Brooke McKahan | AMY TANNENBAUM THOUGH JO AND BROOKE MCKAHAN now call Newark home, their story begins outside of central Ohio. Growing up in New Philadelphia, Jo spent her summers in Cambridge and later moved there to start beauty school 8 years ago. It was in Cambridge that following year when she met Brooke’s sister Shannon, who insisted the two meet. But Brooke resisted, because Shannon had been trying a little too hard to play matchmaker recently. Later on, Brooke came across Jo’s picture and asked Shannon, “That’s her? Hook me up!” to which Shannon replied, “Oh she’s not asking about you anymore.” So Brooke had to find another friend to introduce her to Jo. For Brooke and Jo, it was evident right away they had something special; they moved in together within a week.

Though they had opposite schedules – Brooke worked 3rd shift in Zanesville – they spent all their time together. “We just took sleeping out of the schedule,” Jo says. They admit that they are very different from each other: Brooke is easy-going, forgiving, and relaxed, while Jo is type A and wound tight. says Jo. Indeed, since they met in 2007, they’ve spent a total of three nights apart.

Early in their relationship, they knew they wanted to get out of Cambridge, so they began moving west. They first moved to Zanesville, until they found the home they really wanted in Newark. They wanted a home with plenty of land for their 4 dogs, and once they settled, they added 4 pigme goats, 27 chickens and 2 more dogs! Also added to the mix were Jo’s three children from a previous relationship.

Later that year, Brooke proposed to Jo by leaving her a note in her lunch, which read: “LET’S GET MARRIED” in big block letters. They wasted no time, traveling to Vermont in the hopes of becoming legally married, however, their legal civil union

was not converted to marriage because it was before a certain cutoff date. Years later, they learned of the C-Bus of Love and were legally married last summer along with 25 other couples on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, DC. Even after their trip to Vermont, though, they knew they wanted to have a baby, but as the kids got older and more self-sufficient, they enjoyed their new lifestyle and continue to delay starting the process. But as they watched their friends getting pregnant, says Brooke, “we realized we needed to do it now or never.”

Using an anonymous donor from a sperm bank, they tried to get pregnant a total of four times; two attempts resulted in miscarriages. “After the first time [miscarrying], I second guessed going through that again,” explains Brooke. “Every month you don’t want to get your hopes up.” They even had a photo shoot lined up just before their legal wedding that was intended to be used for a pregnancy announcement; instead they used the images as engagement pictures. On their last attempt, they waited the full three months to safely announce.

With their baby due this July, they are planning all the logistics of the birth now. They are planning to have the baby in Washington, DC, where they can both be listed on the birth certificate, and where second parent adoption is allowed.

Once the second parent adoption takes place in DC, all states, including Ohio, have to acknowledge it. In order to ensure all goes as planned, they will need to induce three weeks prior to the due date.

As Jo and Brooke anxiously await the arrival of the newest addition to their family, they are also approaching the 1 year anniversary of their Washington DC wedding. Jo and Brooke will have a lot to celebrate this summer!

TransOhio's Sixth Symposium SPOTLIGHT

| MICKEY J. HART While most of us have some understand the needs and obstacles for the LGBQ community related to sexual orientation, many of us are still clueless about the complexities faced by trans*, transgender and gender non-conforming individuals. We all have plenty to learn about gender identity and expression. Later this month there is an excellent opportunity to educate yourself and to get to meet some wonderful people.

TransOhio continues their tradition of educating trans* people and the community at-large about the lives and needs of trans* and gender non-conforming individuals with their Sixth TransOhio Trans and Ally Symposium.

Presenters are encouraged to “think outside the box” as they develop sessions. Sessions may include presentations, panels, workshop, group discussions, arts and crafts, activities and performances. This three day educational conference will take place May 30, 31 and June 1 at OSU’s Ohio Union (1739 N. High St.).

As a community that knows the value of having allies on our side for understanding and support, we can certainly work to be stronger allies to the trans* members of our community. The cost starts at $50 for Saturday and Sunday. Registration and more information are available at TransOhio.org.

Friday, May 30: Provider’s Day Sessions This full day of sessions and speakers is geared toward medical, legal and social work professionals and service providers. CEUs/CLEs are available for most sessions for those with credentials seeking continuing education credits.

Provider's Day keynote speaker is Dr. Kristen Benson, Ph.D., LMFT, CFLE. She is an assistant professor of human development and family science at North Dakota State University and a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified family Life educator. Her current research explores the experiences of parents raising transgender and gender creative children. She is committed to training therapists to create affirmative therapeutic spaces for transgender clients and their loved ones.

Saturday, May 31: General Conference Sessions This full day will feature the symposium’s keynote speaker and offer a variety of sessions covering a broad range of trans* and related topics.

Symposium keynote speaker Kyle Allum was the first openly transgender Division I athlete. He has been featured in Sports Illustrated, OUT magazine’s Out 100 and The Advocate’s 40 under 40. Allum now shares his story with athletic departments and universities across the U.S. He is the founder and creative director of Project I Am Enough that utilizes artistic projects, identity discussions and self-acceptance encouragement.

The fact that the suicide rate is still very high among LGBTQ youth is a constant reminder for Allum to diligently continue his work. Allum said, “We must learn to love ourselves before we can hope for change anywhere else.”

Sunday, June 1, 2014: General Conference Sessions This half day will offer additional sessions on a broad range of trans* and related topics.

Here is a sampling of Saturday and Sunday sessions: Kylar Broadus will facilitate a panel entitled “Walking While Transgender” that is geared toward stopping violence and murder. Cory Chan-Frederick will educate about new policies for trans* students in public schools, anti-bullying policies and federal civil rights statutes that are now being used to protect and include them in the classroom. Andrea Schultz will present on playing sports as and with trans* athletes with a focus on how they can better accommodate trans* identified athletes. Irene Testerman and Claire Roberts will facilitate a Q& A session for partners of trans* individuals. Harper Jean Tobin and Lisa Mottet will present on ending abuse of trans* people in jails and prisons and how to advocate for fewer incarcerated trans* people .

Mission

TransOhio serves the Ohio transgender and ally communities by providing services, education, support and advocacy, which promotes and improves the health, safety and life experience of the Ohio transgender individual and community.

C aravan B rings M arriage H ome T o O hio | RICK NEAL SEVERAL SATURDAYS AGO, my husband, Tom Grote, and I looked at each other after breakfast, as our two little girls were tearing apart the playroom and the previous night’s dishes beckoned from the sink, and said, “We’ve got to do something.”

The day before, Federal District Court Judge Timothy Black concluded a hearing in Cincinnati by proclaiming that he was inclined to rule in favor of the plaintiffs, four samesex couples who wanted the state of Ohio to recognize their out-of-state marriages by listing both spouses on the birth certificates of their children. To make it simple, his ruling would strike down altogether Ohio’s ban on recognizing same-sex marriages from outside the state.

Judge Black also announced he would issue his ruling on April 14, giving us just a few days to get organized. We knew the ruling would get hung up on appeal, although we thought there might be a brief window after its release to press for recognition. We knew there were same-sex couples in Ohio who wanted the benefits and protections of marriage but might be wary of the cost and complications involved with getting married elsewhere. And we suspected that taking a group of people to another state to get married might generate some media interest and give us a chance to highlight the indignity of our state’s discriminatory marriage amendment.

By the end of the day, we had met two couples – Leah Kaiser and Jenn Lape, and Cara Blessing and Chelsea Bolyard – willing to join the group. By Sunday, we were calling the group the Ohio Marriage Caravan and had decided to take it to Chicago the following Friday – just five days away.

Lynne Bowman at the Human Rights Campaign connected us with Lambda Legal, who promised they could get us a waiver of the one-day waiting period for marriage in Illinois.

Lauren Kinsey, our social media guru, got Tom and me set up on Twitter (successfully) and Instagram (less so).

We started labeling everything #marriagecaravan, and we were on our way. On Wednesday, Shayla Shannon and Ashley Billey from Cleveland joined the caravan; a gay couple in Columbus got in touch, but then couldn’t go because one of the guys couldn’t get off work. Media attention started to build, too, with articles appearing in gay papers (both here and in Chicago) and The Columbus Dispatch, as well as TV news interviews. For once, attention focused on the stories of love, commitment and pride that we hear every day – but are so often obscured by bigots given airtime in an effort to achieve “balance.”

Friday arrived. The caravan set off from different points, all joining up on a glorious spring day in Chicago. The ladies emerged glowing from the hotel and we walked over to the county clerk’s office – every step documented by the wonderful Amy Clark, who runs a photography studio in Columbus and graciously offered her services pro bono after reading about the caravan. The clerk’s terrific staff quickly issued the marriage licenses – and a lesbian couple in town from Indiana for the same reason got swept up in the caravan as we were whisked over to the chambers of Judge Martin Moltz. As promised, the judge waived the waiting period, and an air of quiet excitement settled over the room.

Each couple in turn was married, committing themselves to each other through thick and thin, for better and for worse. We celebrated afterwards, accepting congratulations from passers-by as we left the courthouse and toasting each other that evening.

We returned to Ohio the next morning, bringing marriage back home just in time for Judge Black’s ruling. The judge completely repudiated the state’s ban on recognizing outof-state same-sex marriages, declaring that the anti-equality argument “is staggeringly devoid of any legitimate justification for the state’s ongoing arbitrary discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.” In a disappointing but not surprising move, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, backed by Governor John Kasich, appealed the ruling, forcing Judge Black to put his decision on hold while that process moves toward its ultimate destination at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Four beautiful couples got married in Chicago and can immediately take advantage of the benefits and protections provided to married couples by the federal government.

As long as our elected officials block recognition at home, however, we are stymied, lacking a legal relationship with our own children, excluded from family health insurance coverage and confirmed in our status as second-class citizens.

Despite this, we are winning. We will stand up, we will get married, we will demand our equality – until our exclusion is no longer tolerated and those who support it are left behind.

Rick Neal is married to long-time LGBTQ activist and businessman Tom Grote and is a stay-at-home dad to their two daughters, Amoret and Sophia. He has degrees in public health and international relations, served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco, and ran relief programs for refugees in Asia and Africa before moving to Columbus in 2007. Rick and Tom are committed to the fight for marriage equality in

Ohio and plan to organize more marriage caravans throughout the appeals process.
