Connecting the Shots Cops link Abbottsford shootings as neighborhood rivalry escalates.

By Michael Alan Goldberg mgoldberg@philadelphiaweekly.com Michael alan GoldberG

Hoop dreams: Rashawn “Shawnee” Anderson was gunned down in February. Police have no suspects.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 8 - 14, 2011 • 6

It’s been four months since 18-year-old Rashawn “Shawnee” Anderson—the Roxborough High School senior and budding basketball star—was gunned down near his apartment in the Abbottsford Homes projects. Police have yet to make an arrest in the Feb. 7 shooting, which investigators believe stemmed from a long-standing feud between rival youths from Abbottsford and nearby Allegheny Avenue. And, as many feared in the wake of Anderson’s murder, the feud has since escalated into a deadly street war that has a wide swath of North Philadelphia on edge.

Police now believe that Anderson’s death is related to at least two other high-profile shootings: The brazen May 1 drive-by at a basketball court at Whittier Playground, just off Allegheny and across the street from John Whittier Elementary School, that left one man dead; and the May 22 shooting outside the Felton Supper Club in Feltonville, which injured nine and drew the immediate attention and ire of Mayor Nutter.

“We’re operating under the assumption

“They talkin’ about shootings up there?

There’s shootings down here every day. Every muthafuckin’ day.” that the shootings are retaliatory,” says Capt. Stephen Glenn, commanding officer of the 39th District.

A police department source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, provided a few more details: The Whittier shooting is believed to have been a bungled hit on a 19-year-old man suspected to be involved in Anderson’s killing, carried out by two gunmen from the Abbottsford side. The intended target was shot in the leg and survived, but 25-year-old Brian Jones—an Allegheny

resident who was at the basketball court but not thought to be involved in the feud—was killed in the hail of bullets.

Police also believe it was two members of the injured target’s crew that opened fire outside the Felton Supper Club in the wee hours of the morning on May 22, as a party sponsored by Curtis Brinkley—the San Diego Chargers running back and one-time West Catholic football star who grew up in Abbottsford—was letting out. There was talk on the streets that the two shooters involved in the Whittier drive-by were going to be at the party. “[Brinkley] had a lot of friends and Abbottsford people at the club that night, and that’s what drew the [Allegheny] side,” says the PPD source.

Police have no suspects yet in either the Whittier or Felton shootings—they’ve released video footage of the latter incident in the hopes of getting a tip from the public.

Glenn says that the bulk of his manpower and resources are devoted to halting the war—a directive that comes straight from Commissioner Charles Ramsey’s office.

“There are more than a couple hotspots in this city, but the eyes of the higher ranks are on this right now,” says Glenn, who worries that the cycle of payback is far from over.

“There’s great concern, particularly after the Felton shooting, where all our intel tells us there’s gonna be retaliation.”

While police have not publicly named any persons of interest in Anderson’s killing, the investigation is focused intently on a violent drug-dealing crew that operates around 32nd Street and Allegheny Avenue.

At least one member of that crew was shot at the McDonald’s at 31st and Allegheny in October 2009 during a fight reportedly over a girl. Three Abbottsford youths were later arrested and convicted of aggravated assault and conspiracy. Though Anderson is not believed to have been involved in that incident, police have speculated that his murder was long-brewing payback. But in the Anderson case, as well as the Whittier and Felton shootings—and so many other crimes around Philadelphia—investigators have been hampered by the “no snitching” code of the streets.

Particularly frustrating, says Glenn, is the fact that no one at Abbottsford has come forward to tell what they saw the night Anderson was killed. “Abbottsford is a very insular community, and they take a lot of pride in the fact that they’re tight and don’t talk to police or outsiders very easily,” he says.

But Abbottsford residents have reason to be wary, and fearful. Since Anderson’s murder, there have been a number of disturbing incidents. In February, bullets pierced a man’s car, striking both of his legs, as he drove through the projects to meet a friend. Another man reported being shot at while driving through Abbottsford in March, and one night last month, bullets shattered the bedroom window of 49-yearold Marilyn Allen, a 42-year resident of Ab-

bottsford who lives next door to Anderson’s apartment, as she sat in another room. “I’m scared,” says Allen. “It needs to stop.”

It’s not much better during the day. Long known as “The Fort” because it sits atop a hill, ringed by a moat-like road, Abbottsford now feels more like a prison. Residents hang close to their apartments. Packs of kids don’t stroll to and from the Uncle Willie’s convenience store across the street like they used to before Anderson was killed. Day after day, the basketball court at the edge of the projects, which had always been packed after school once the weather warmed up, is deserted; perhaps because it sits perilously close to the road. Several residents say the pop-pop-pop of gunshots has been a nightly occurrence for months.

“I don’t really come outside,” says 28-yearold resident Corey Holmes, standing just outside his apartment door. “I don’t walk around here at night. No way.”

“It’s terrible up here,” says a 20-something woman who’s tending to the engine of her minivan while her three young children sit inside. “They’ve been shooting everywhere.

Around the projects, down the hill, everywhere. I went to the office asking them to move me out of Abbottsford and they won’t do nothin’. I’m scared to death. I want to move.”

Things are equally tense along Allegheny.

“They talkin’ about shootings up there?

There’s shootings down here every day.

Every muthafuckin’ day,” says a man who identifies himself as “Marcus,” who’s standing near the 32nd Street Pub. “But you don’t hear about that, do you?”

Malik Aziz, the Philly gang memberturned-anti-gang activist, says he’s been trying to broker a truce between Abbottsford and Allegheny for months. “Law enforcement, they have no idea how to deal with this.

They’ve lost touch with the streets, so there’s nothing they can do to stop it.”

Aziz says he’s set up a meeting for sometime in the coming week, at an undisclosed location, with about 20 combatants from both sides. “They’re willing to show up,” he says. “They don’t want no police there, no press there. We’re gonna make sure there are no guns, no knives. I wouldn’t even be too concerned if they start punching each other, as long as they don’t shoot each other.

They all want revenge, so we gotta talk some common sense into them.”

“I think the older guys [like Aziz] that lived through these things, I think they’re sincere about finding a resolution,” says Glenn. “They do want some autonomy. I don’t wanna say they’re not trusting of the police, but they prefer to do it on their own and they have not made the police department a partner in their efforts.”

But Glenn says the police will take all the help they can get—whether it’s crusading ex-gangbangers, cooperative witnesses or anonymous tips—to quash the violence.

“Our feeling is if we can just make a key arrest or two, we can put an end to this whole thing.” n

9:30 p.m. curfew, aren’t allowed to drive or possess cell phones, have to call in from a landline several times daily, and are regularly subjected to drug tests and breathalyzers. Any major slip-up could get them sent back. Conversely, if they get through a year at the halfway house, they’ll be permitted to live independently, although they’ll remain on parole for life. “I don’t have any complaints,” says Werts, adding that Fultz and Smith are both faring well, too. “Things are wonderful.”

He relates another anecdote, about an afternoon when he got caught in a rain squall while waiting to meet a friend for lunch. When the friend finally showed, she expressed surprise that Werts, who lacked an umbrella, hadn’t sought cover. “I told her, ‘The rain doesn’t bother me. I could be getting rained on at Graterford.’”

Almost immediately upon his release, Werts began doing consulting work for Inside-Out, a nationally renowned program that takes college students inside prisons to examine crime and justice issues alongside inmates. The Defender Association of Philadelphia also hired him as a consultant virtually the moment he got out. So he’s continuing the zippy pace he kept during his three-and-a-half decades in prison. There, he earned a bachelor’s degree, served as a literacy tutor and a slew of other constructive programs, and even organized a 2003 Graterford anti-crime summit attended by then-Philadelphia Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson and other law-enforcement honchos. But Werts, the face of a half-dozen PW stories over the past seven years exploring Pennsylvania’s life-means-

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 8 - 14, 2011

About a month ago, weeks since leaving Graterford prison after serving 36 years of a life sentence for murder, Tyrone Werts showed up late for the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Prison Society. He’d been delayed by a visit to a tailor, where he had two pairs of pants altered. “I was kidding him about being late,” recalls Prison Society Executive Director William DiMascio, “and he kept saying he couldn’t believe the tailor charged him 26 bucks.” Werts chuckles at the memory from behind his desk inside Temple University’s Inside-Out Center at Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue. “It’s true,” says Werts, who was arrested June 8, 1975. “Some of the prices out here are shocking me.”

The cream-colored slacks Werts wears on this warm May morning fit him perfectly, as do his shirt and sport coat. The gray in his hair and moustache lend him a professorial air, and his copper complexion is vibrant.

Presentation matters when you’re representing. “I try to carry myself in a certain way,” the 59-year-old North Philly native says, “so people know that lifers look like me, not scary monsters. Most lifers are basically good people who did a bad thing when they were young and caught up. And like I did, a lot of them have transformed their lives.”

Last Dec. 30, when then-Gov. Rendell commuted Werts’ life sentence and those of William Fultz, 59, and Keith Smith, 56, the trio joined an elite club comprised of Pennsylvania’s luckiest lifers—those granted a second chance in a state where life nearly always means life. On March 14, the three men were transported to a halfway house near Eighth and Callowhill streets, where they’re rooming together. They have a

Werts had reasons to doubt the criminal justice system’s angels would ever smile on him. The conviction that earned him his life sentence stemmed from his role in a 1975 Arizona Street speakeasy robbery during which one of his four accomplices shot and killed a young man named William Bridgeman. Although he never entered the speakeasy, a jury convicted Werts of second-degree murder months after he spurned a prosecutor’s plea offer of an eight-to-20-year sentence. (In Pennsylvania, anyone convicted of either first- or second-degree murder receives a compulsory life-withoutparole sentence with the exception of those sentenced to death in capital prosecutions).

Although he was bitter when he landed at Graterford on June 16, 1976, Werts gradually underwent a catharsis, ultimately accepting his role in Bridgeman’s murder. “I was involved,” he told PW seven years ago. “I can’t disassociate myself from what happened that night. I’m not innocent. I’m guilty.” Still, he hoped he might someday leave prison, and filed for commutation in April 2004. The five-member state pardons board twice listed Werts’ case on its docket, but both times opted not to vote on it even after transporting Werts to Harrisburg and interviewing him as to why he felt deserving. But last Dec. , in Rendell’s final days as governor, the board again called Werts’ case up along with Fultz’s and Smith’s. The board voted 4-0 (Gov.-elect Tom Corbett, who was still attorney general, abstained) in favor of each request, and forwarded them to Rendell. Three weeks later, Rendell gave his thumbs-up. “To be honest, I never thought I’d receive a commutation,” Werts confides. “It’s such a long shot. Then it seemed like all of a sudden I was walking down the street in Philadelphia, saying, ‘Wow, what a miracle!”

Werts’ supporters share his delight. “It’s a thrill for all of us to work with him, because he’s really brilliant,” says Lori

“Of course I’m not saying I didn’t want to come home, but I was walking down the hallway crying like a baby because so many guys were coming up hugging me, and I’m saying, ‘I’m going home, we grew up together here, 34, 35 years, and I’m getting out.’ They’re not getting out.

Pompa, who directs Inside-Out and has known Werts for 2 years. “Already, in just two months, he’s had a tremendous impact on our program.”

Steven Blackburn, a commuted lifer (who for the past 12 years has been director of the Frankford Neighborhood Center), who served 13 years alongside Werts adds: “You get to see how people are in a place like (Graterford), how they hold up under pressure. You see everybody’s flaws as well as their strengths. Tyrone always impressed me as being a very stron man with tremendous integrity. I know he’s going to do well DiMascio says, “Tyrone came out of prison and started working almost the very day he arrived here in the city. He can be productive, and I believe he will be productive.”

Understandably, not everyone cheers when a prisoner convicted of murder gets sprung. Carol Lavery, Pennsylvania’s Victim Advocate, appeared at Werts’ September 2009 commutation hearing and spoke solemnly to the value of Bridgeman’s life. Lavery, however, declines to take a stance on Werts’ liberation, adding that some homicide victims’ family members favor commutations while others think anyone sentenced to life ought to serve it. “These are tough things,” she says. “The answers aren’t come by easily.” Some commutation opponents point out that months after Gov. Robert Casey commuted convicted murderer Reginald McFadden’s life sentence in 1994, McFadden thanked him by committing two murders and a rape in New York.

Werts argues the McFadden case was an aberration. “If you asked any prisoner who knew McFadden,” he says, “they would have voted against him. Most guys knew he ha psychological problems. His case was a mistake, not at all representative.”

Werts, who looks forward to renting an apartment after he leaves the halfway house, is naturally more interested in living than in defending his release. He’s already reconnected with his 21-year-old granddaughter, Shadera, and says his 39-year-old daughter Shanita, who lives in Atlanta is flying up this month. And he regularly visits with his younger brother Paul, who stood by his side throughout his incarceration. “Tyrone was at my home just the other day,” Paul Werts, pastor of First Timothy Baptist Church at 39th and Girard Avenue, told PW a few weeks back. “And I was looking at him sitting in my living room and it didn’t seem real after 36 years. It just didn’t seem like it could be true.” n

Pride Issue

An LGBT activist wants you to abandon your stereotypes about gay culture.

By Matt Petrillo mpetrillo@philadelphiaweekly.com

Brian Sims with his dog, Hannegan

•

Back on the streets, scurrying past 10th Street near Pine and zigzagging around another corner, Sims is covering a lot of ground while canvassing, not at all minding the grunt work.

“What I’ve learned from football is, there is no substitute for doing your homework,” says Sims, who’s also chairman of the Gay & Lesbian Lawyers of Philadelphia. “That work is studying other opponents, seeing what they’re thinking, where they’re gonna go, who they’re gonna play—and trying to understand an issue from all sides and taking a strategic approach to argue that issue. And to me, it makes no sense that there is disparity in pay, disparity in race or disparity in gay civil rights.”

Pennsylvania currently imposes some of the strictest and least gay-friendly laws in the country. It does not recognize gay marriage, civil unions or domestic partnerships, although Philadelphia has offered domestic partnerships for city employees since 1996.

To Sims, it’s just a matter of time before lawmakers acknowledge a need for change. According to an April 2011 Public Policy poll, 63 percent of Pennsylvania voters support legal recognition of same-sex couples, which shows that even in a conservative state with a Republican Governor, House and Senate, support for gay rights isn’t directly associated with a political identity. Sims expects that number to grow, and he’s determined to help the cause and hopes for an eventual federal marriage equality bill.

“Right now there are places where you can be married, you can be civil unioned … domestically partnered, and you can have those things recognized,” he says. “But you can’t be from there. Or, you have to be from here—but you can’t divorce there. Or once you cross the state border you lose all those rights.”

Though laws remain muddled and way too complicated, Sims says it’s only a matter of time before gays get their freedom. “I see more people that have just never been in the closet. You know, they just knew, and no one cares. LGBT rights is not an ideological thing, it’s not a posterity thing, it’s a factual thing.” n

idea of sex.

Sipping on a Lager, Sims—who at 15 knew he was gay and was never overwhelmed by his sexuality (“I had a freakishly supportive family. It wasn’t a horrible thing that I struggled to come to terms with”)—says, “I’m just emotionally and physically attracted to men. That’s it.”

But even as Sims challenges external perceptions about gays, he also must confront the internal stereotypes that exist within the queer community. The term LGBT represents all people of color, religions, nationalities, genders and political parties. But some in the community don’t even fit within the mainstream gay culture. Some gays may look down on those who identify as bisexual. Some transsexuals may consider themselves outside the LGB spectrum. And divisions sometimes occur along racial lines, too. (At Woody’s, for example, black and white gays sometimes dance on opposite sides of the dancefloor).

“All the work we do is aimed at challenge stereotypes,” Sims says of his work at Equality PA, which has a board that’s “representative of all walks of life.”

“It’s important to have people of all faces support the movement,” he continues. “If you’re a straight ally of gay rights, you have a much more powerful voice than I do. But look, man, I’m working to bring equality for everyone. There’s not a surplus of loving, caring relationships in the world, so why would someone be opposed to mine?”

Sims City

Walking down the 1100 block of Rodman Street, sweat visible through his fitted blue T-shirt, Brian Sims isn’t slowed down by the heat as he darts from doorstep to doorstep, placing fliers on porches and encouraging anyone he sees to vote. It’s the day before Philadelphia’s primaries, and Sims has election fever.

Bellowing to every passer-by that he hopes to “see you at the polls tomorrow!” the 210-pound former Bloomsburg University defensive lineman oozes machismo. He punctuates almost every sentence with a charming smile. “Beautiful lawn! Are you registered to vote for tomorrow?” he gleams at a woman who is walking into her home near the corner of 11th Street. He’s hoping she says yes and nods his head in satisfaction when she does.

Sims isn’t running for office, but the 32-year-old lawyer is making politics his business, hoping to give a fresh, young look to LGBT rights by breaking down stereotypes and false perceptions that too often stymie the movement. Sims, a self-professed “professional gay,” who gets paid to tell his comingout story at colleges around the country, says he isn’t trying to redefine what being gay means, but contends homosexuality is “an everybody thing.”

“The rainbow flag is a symbol of the LGBT community because we are a broad community,” says Sims, the president of Equality PA—a group that fights for LGBT rights on the state level.

Which means that as hard as Hollywood and the media try, not every gay man has a shrill voice and effeminate mannerisms—an image that many Americans associate with homosexuality. “I get told that a lot: ‘You don’t fit the stereotype!’” says Sims, who suggests taking a break from canvassing the neighborhood and grabbing a beer at the Venture Inn, a small bar on South Camac Street that some call the gay Cheers. “That’s a very ’80s or ’90s question.

What’s the stereotype?”

It’s an interesting question coming from a man who is every bit the American male stereotype. Brawny in stature and preppy in dress—if not leaning toward a 30-something, golf-swinging dad— Sims prefers a cold beer as his drink of choice and can’t recall the last time he went shopping.

He doesn’t know why he’s gay or why his twin brother is straight, and refuses to prejudge anyone—especially on the

Cop Out

Philly police officers come in all shapes and sizes— and sexual orientations, too. Might seem surprising at first given what’s considered a macho culture on the force, but one openly gay cop says don’t believe the stereotypical hype. PW caught up with Officer Lee Marrero at end of his midnight-to-8 a.m. shift in the dilapidated 22nd District just west of Temple. The oldest of six born to a single mother, Marrero, 29, grew up in Hunting Park and graduated from the police academy in 2007.

A gay officer finds comfort in the macho world of crime fighting.

By Aaron Kase akase@philadelphiaweekly.com

How long have you wanted to be a cop?

I applied when I was 19 ... I grew up in the Badlands.

There was a lot of crime around, a lot of drug usage and stuff like that. In that neighborhood it’s pretty hard to find your way out of there. I really didn’t like what was going on around me, so I thought, what can I do to change it? One thing was to become a police officer.

Were you out in high school?

No, no, no, no. I waited until I was out of high school and out of my mom’s house. I waited until I was out on my own. I figured it was something I

had to do. Better to do it when I’m on my own and independent.

Were you out in the academy?

I wasn’t out. I told my superior officer at the academy ... he advised me—just said, make yourself out to be a good person. As long as you’re a good person, it doesn’t matter what you do at home or who you go home to. That’s no one’s business.

Did being gay come up when joining the force?

Is there any kind of “don’t ask, don’t tell?”

It’s pretty good in the police department. We do have a directive; the policy is we do not discriminate against sexual orientation. The state doesn’t recognize it but the city does. It was pretty comforting to know when I did apply it did say on the application that we do not discriminate against any sexual orientation.

Did you get trained on LGBT issues at the academy?

From the first day of training. We had a full day when someone from D.C.—there’s currently a gay and lesbian unit in D.C. that [Police Commissioner Charles] Ramsey started. A sergeant from that unit comes to the academy for the day and gives a presentation and trains all the recruits how to deal with LGBT issues or LGBT officers. We were pretty much aware since we were in academy we would be working with other gay officers.

Is there training on interacting with LGBT people in the community?

Yeah, there is, but the community’s down at the 6th District [covers the Gayborhood section of Center City]. They teach us how to interact—whatever someone wants to be identified as, that’s what you identify them as.

In the academy, was there a point where you came out to other cadets?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for five and a half years now. I was with him in academy. I’ve never denied that I was gay, I just said I’m going home to my roommate. I didn’t want to throw it in anyone’s face. If someone was uncomfortable I didn’t want to ignite that. I’ve never denied it to anyone. Everyone who wants to know ... I say yeah, I’m with someone, I’ve been with someone for five and a half years, things are great. But I was gay when I first came to the district. I was gay when I backed you up a year ago. I’m still the same person now, still going to be the same person 10, 15 years from now. The supervisors are all aware of my sexuality. They never give me any problems. I don’t get treated any different. I get in trouble if I do something wrong.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 8 - 14, 2011

Do You know other gay officers?

There’s a lot of gay officers and gay supervisors. We meet socially sometimes and you see them around in the neighborhood. The other officers, some of them choose to be out, and some of them live closeted lifestyles. Whatever they choose is fine. When I get to work they’re here and ready to rock.

Lee Marrero, 29, works in the 22nd District.

What would you say to other gay or lesbian kids who want to be a cop?

You make a lot of friends on this job. With a push of a button you have hundreds of people that will come back you up if you need help. It doesn’t matter what sexuality you are, we’re all cops and when you come to work we all treat each other as brothers and sisters. It doesn’t matter if you’re a lesbian cop or trangendered cop. There are more important things to worry about—people out there who want to shoot you. No one really cares who you go home to. n

Secret Service

Married men find brotherly love on the DL.

Kevin’s always struggled with his sexuality,

By Randy LoBasso rlobasso@philadelphiaweekly.com “It’s hard to live ‘gay pride’ when you know you have been shamefully hiding your gayness for so many years,” says 40-something-year old Kevin as he heads down Third Street in Old City on a recent hot, muggy day. Kevin is the creator of the M5 Group, a club for closeted gay men in marriages with women looking to meet other gay married men. “It’s a very normal group of guys,” Kevin says, “Lots of whitecollar professionals, mostly. Doctors, lawyers, accountants, computer programmers. The only thing that makes it unique is that we’re all married and we’re all bisexual or gay.”

According to the group’s online description, it’s a forum to “meet and make friends in a safe and sane environment and avoid the dangers of anonymous sex. Develop ongoing friendships with like-minded guys. This group is only for discreet men who are currently married or who have been previously married. This is not a sex club and is not for finding quick, anonymous hook-ups.”

said he’d be betraying his wife if he spoke anonymously to the media before telling her his secret.

The men meet up a couple times a month for a happy hour and other random outings like bike rides, runs, bowling, whatever. A few members have been training together for a 5K run. They even started self-help sessions for those struggling with their situation and not necessarily wanting to socialize.

Kevin says a third of the membership is consistent, and rely on the group to keep their heads screwed on straight. He says he’d probably pat himself on the back for helping so many other married guys cope with their secret lives if the group hadn’t saved his own life, too.

Kevin, who won’t confirm whether that’s his real name and doesn’t feel comfortable providing a last name, sports a large frame, large face, glasses and combs his straight, brown hair to the side. He looks every bit the dad that he is. About five years ago, Kevin came clean with himself. In spite of everything, his homosexual urges weren’t going away.

They were becoming stronger. Having already started a family, he felt alone and didn’t think he could trust anyone with his secret. He’d scour the Internet looking for anonymous hook-ups on occasion, but needed something more—at the very least someone to talk to.

That’s when he came across the Gay and Married Men’s Association (GAMMA) of Philadelphia, a support group of closeted married men with the goal of assisting “each gay or bisexual man in finding his own best road to travel in life.” After just one meeting, Kevin decided GAMMA wasn’t for him. “A few of the guys there were in the process of a divorce and much of the conversation was directed at celebrating their movement toward divorce,” he says, noting that divorce was not his goal. “Overall, the group just seemed to identify as a group of gay guys far more than they identified as married men. The meeting even started and ended with everyone kissing and hugging each other—not at all what I expected … that one experience made me uncomfortable and I never went back.”

Kevin was more interested in a support group that let guys be who they are outside the group. He combed the Internet for such a club and couldn’t find one, so he started his own with a new email address and pseudonym, posted to meetup.com. Within the first week he received 50 messages. He set up the first meeting at a bar in Conshohocken. That night, he told his wife he had to work late and headed off to meet the guys. Four other men showed up for what Kevin describes as an evening of “pretty normal guy talk. You know, ‘What kind of work do you do for a living?’ ‘Do you have kids?’ Just a lot of general chatter.” While he describes the first few minutes as nothing short of awkward, eventually, Kevin says, “the conversation got into how long this had been an issue for you, how long have you had these feelings, had this always been something at play before we were married, did they have this interest and why they still felt they needed to get married and start a family.”

Since that first meeting four years ago, membership has swelled to 80. Kevin even opened up the group to recently divorced, widowed and separated gay men.

Other members of the group declined to comment for this article; most cited privacy issues, but others said they’d have to fabricate so much of their stories in order to conceal their identities that it didn’t make sense. One man, in a statement of unintentional irony,

and says the time he was coming of age–the ’80s— was especially difficult because he grew up when the “gay disease” began rearing its ugly head. “In the ’80s, being gay was intrinsically linked with getting HIV and dying of AIDS,” he says. “It was everywhere; in the media, everything linked being gay to dying of AIDS.” He decided to bottle his feelings. “It was easier to keep it all compartmentalized and feel like this was one little part of my personality that wasn’t connected to the rest of me,” he says. “I would act out on it and feel as if I was done with it, for a few months, then I would act out on it again. But each time, once it was over, it was over.”

He went off to college at LaSalle. After graduating, he got a job in the area and got married. In the early 2000s, he and his wife began having children; they bought a house. For the next decade or so, Kevin lived what resembled a normal life. But his urges to be with other men began getting harder to control in his 30s. “As I got older, I realized this part of myself wasn’t going away,” he says. “No matter what I did, no matter what I had with my wife, my family, the other side kept demanding attention.”

Kevin began acting in secret. He found others looking for discreet liaisons on the Internet. Still, there was something missing. “In my situation, you can’t just go out and meet other guys, especially if they’ve been gay their whole life,” he says. “They don’t know what it’s like ... In spite of what you’re doing, you’re still a father; you’re still raising kids.

I’m not some young guy who just came out. I still love my wife. Another gay guy might not get that.”

In 2006, he was reading the newspaper and recognized someone he once knew, “Ted,” a high school acquaintance. It was an obituary. Kevin says a mutual friend told him that Ted killed himself after he was caught with another man; his wife found out, filed for divorce and outed him to all their friends and family. “That’s when it hit me,” Kevin says. “I thought, ‘That could be me.’ You hear about situations like this every once in a while. You see people like Senator Larry Craig or Congressman Mark Foley just doing incredibly dumb things and you think, ‘That’s what happens when you mess around in these areas.’ Extremely embarrassing things can happen.”

Kevin also learned that there are plenty of others like him out there. University of Chicago sociologist Edward Laumann estimates that between 1.5 million and 2.9 million American women have been married to someone who’d had sex with another man. The question for Kevin became: How do you find those men? “There’ve been secret clubs throughout history,” he says. “I mean, look at Ben Franklin and all the secret affiliations he formed here. I figured why can’t we have something like that, where we meet on legitimate terms, we hang out and form friendships.”

That’s when he posted the ad on meetup.com and discovered that there were plenty of men in similar

RAGE Against the Machines New doc chronicles fight to end use of SEPTA’s gender-identification stickers.

By Jessica Herring feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com Much like Rosa Parks, Charlene Arcila never set out to be a symbol for the civil-rights movement. In 2007, the transgender woman says she was denied the right to use her weekly TransPass because a SEPTA worker insisted that her gender did not match the “F” sticker on it. Arcila says she was harassed by the SEPTA worker and was forced to explain her gender identity.

She refused.

“I’m tired of being questioned about my identity by someone who don’t even know me,” says Arcila in a documentary that sheds light on the transgender community’s ongoing battle against SEPTA’s use of gender-identification stickers. Arcila is just one of many transgender activists interviewed in Gender Sticker Film Project, which chronicles the work of Riders Against Gender Exclusion, the local activist group leading the fight to end the use of SEPTA’s gender-ID stickers. Last month, about 20 members of RAGE gathered on the second floor of Tabu Lounge on 12th Street in the Gayborhood for a sneak preview.

“The policy is putting SEPTA employees in an odd position—they have to do their job and [be the] gender police,” says Philly native and independent filmmaker Wren Warner, who funded the film with a grant from the Philly-based Leeway Foundation, an organization that awards grants to women and trans artists who create art to engender social change. “The goal of this film is to try to remove the gender stickers,” says Warner, “but the underlying goal is to spread awareness and educate people about trans and gender variant issues.”

The film highlights the activists’ belief that “transit authorities have no business checking what’s in our pants!” and that SEPTA workers have no business

playing the role of doctor. RAGE also alleges that SEPTA workers routinely confiscate their TransPasses, force them to pay extra fees and harass them if their appearance doesn’t match what the sticker says.

“Sometimes they will take a person’s pass away or force them to pay more,” Warner says. “If called out by some drivers, then other riders also start harassing them. It’s scary and dangerous.”

Nico Amador, a RAGE activist who’s interviewed in the film, says he’s fighting to eradicate the stickers due to painful personal experience. “As a transperson, I have experienced discrimination in the workplace and health care,” he says. “When I found out that it is also happening on public transit to other transpeople, I wanted to take action because I knew we could change it if we built momentum around it.”

Amador, who works for Training for Change, an activist training program, is helping RAGE gain momentum. With more than 800 followers on Facebook and email listservs, RAGE is continuing to plant the seeds of activism politically and socially, and is determined to keep on growing. The group held a public drag-show protest at the City Hall station in March, and will be holding a membership campaign this summer with the goal of recruiting 3,000 members.

And in October—LGBT history month—RAGE plans to publicly protest to garner even more members and attention.

And RAGE, which has been making waves locally since 2009, is making its mission heard. Equality PA which stood up on behalf of Arcila, is helping by lobbying in Harrisburg to end SEPTA’s gender policing.

State Rep. Babette Josephs, whose district covers the Gayborhood, wrote a letter to SEPTA last year to end the use of the stickers, and is one of many politicians who has signed RAGE’s Bill of Rights—which declares that riders of all genders are entitled to equal representation. Even Mayor Nutter has condemned SEPTA’s policy, saying that the issue “is significant because it relates directly to people being able to access public accommodations. Being denied transit is something we should all be concerned about.”

SEPTA, for its part, has continuously refused to address RAGE’s grievances until a new payment system—which would eliminate the need for weekly and monthly TransPasses and by extension the stickers— is established. But the agency says a new system won’t be in place for another three years.

“There is a legal case pending in regards to the gender stickers,” Amador says. “SEPTA is trying to get out of being investigated. They say they fall outside of city discrimination laws because they travel outside of the city.”

Even so, RAGE continues to fight. “We want to win as soon as we can,” Amador says. “We hope to win in the next year.” n

situations that were looking for the same thing.

Of course, there was still the duplicity of being married. But, “what’s the alternative?” Kevin asks rhetorically. “If the alternative is, you can turn it off, you don’t have those desires anymore, sure, that’s a better alternative. But for most guys that’s not going to happen. The alternative to this can be something far worse.”

But sometimes the alternative is all guys know.

Kevin says the group still gets new members who attend meetings assuming the “friendship” vibe of the Internet ad is a lure, hoping they’ll head up to a hotel room shortly after meeting the wider cluster. Others are scared to death of possibly walking into a meeting and spotting someone they know, even though that’s never happened. Still, others are so used to acting in secret, he says, they can’t handle the idea of sharing their feelings and drop out soon after.

“Some guys out there don’t want to get to know too much about another person because then you have to tell them about yourself, and that’s the trap that

guys fall into,” he says, “where you just feel like you have to keep it all quick and anonymous and that’s not what [M5 is] all about.”

Kevin says M5 members tend to forge lifelong friendships and long-term relationships that include what’s called closed-loop relationships, which is a relationship between two married men. In the most pure definition of this, both of their wives know about and accept the situation. Some have started out by introducing the friends they’ve met in the group to their wives, though not explaining the full extent of their relationship. “I’ve met a friend’s wife,” Kevin says. “You end up meeting guys in the group and maybe forming a relationship with somebody and then as time goes on, what does become important for a lot of guys is, they want to stop lying all the time at home … They want to be able to say I’m going out with a friend … so they’re trying to find a way to introduce this friend into the life that their wife knows about. Not the full nature of their relationship … so, how do you introduce these people into your life? You say I joined a ski club or an investment club or something like that.”

His own situation with his wife didn’t adhere to the group, unfortunately. Two years ago, his wife found out about a circumstance unrelated to M5 and approached him about it. They eventually separated, but remain friends. “I felt I was at a point in my life where I had to stop lying,” he says. “Every marriage is different. And for a while my wife and I thought there were lots of reasons to continue staying together, like our kids. But she eventually decided she couldn’t do it and I respect her for that.”

He’s now out to his family and friends, but chooses to remain publicly embedded in the gray area between gay and straight. “Perhaps the way I have lived for the past 20 years prevents me from donning the rainbow flag,” he says. “I feel I still identify better with married closeted guys.” n

Freedom Rings A binational couple lives under the threat of deportation.

By Tara Murtha tmurtha@philadelphiaweekly.com Despite the fact that Anton Tanumihardja can’t cook anything but rice and his 28-year-old partner, Brian Andersen, constantly teases him about being an old man at 45, the adorable South Philly couple have picked out rings for their wedding this weekend.

Since the couple can’t legally marry in Pennsylvania, they’re getting hitched in Washington, D.C., in a simple ceremony in front of a handful of friends in Lafayette Park, a lush slice of sky on the National Mall. In August, they plan to throw a reception party for friends and family back in Philly.

For Tanumihardja and Andersen, the thrill and challenge of staying together through thick and thin is intense: Tanumihardja, an Indonesian national, could be deported at any minute. He’s requested political asylum in the U.S. since overstaying his Visa in 2002 based on fear of persecution as a result of being gay, Catholic and ethnically Chinese, a triple minority in Indonesia.

With asylum requests repeatedly denied, it looked like Tanumihardja—trained as an accountant in Indonesia but working in a Center City deli the last seven years—was running out of options. But a recent change in the Obama administration’s approach to same-sex marriage instilled hope that Tanumihardja can avoid deportation through his marriage to Andersen.

Last July, the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which prevents their impending marriage from

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 8 - 14, 2011 • 18

Photograph by Jeff Fusco

being recognized by the federal government, was challenged in Boston courts. Then, in February, the Department of Justice issued a statement formally questioning the constitutionality of DOMA. The way it’s looking now, Tanumihardja and Andersen just might have a chance for happily ever after, after all.

“After we’re married, we’re going to file our immigration forms,” says Andersen. “We wanted to get married anyway, but this has given us the push to finalize it.”

Over a recent dinner of fried noodles and spring

rolls at the Sky Café in South Philly (where they had their first date last year), the couple shared their vastly different experiences of growing up gay. Andersen says being gay in his family was never a big deal. “I told my mom and 10 minutes later she was like, ‘How can I help?’” But back in Indonesia, Tanumihardja kept his sexuality a secret. “I can’t come out to my family ... Indonesia is a conservative Muslim country that doesn’t accept gay people.”

Tanumihardja’s eyes swell with tears as he talks about how nervous he gets every time he dutifully treks to the immigration office on Callowhill Street to check the status of his case. “He’s always afraid to go,” Andersen says.

He’s always been afraid of being deported and of persecution back in Indonesia, but now the anxiety of suddenly having to leave the love of his life behind has made it worse. “Deportation is like a nightmare … I always worry, if they will give me enough time to make a phone call so I can call him,” says Tanumihardja.

“They check you on each floor, the way they check you at the airport. And then sometimes you see people getting arrested.”

Tanumihardja still seems traumatized from a perilously close call with deportation this past February. He was en route to the airport on Valentine’s Day when Andersen, back home glued to his computer screen, received an email from their lawyer announcing that Tanumihardja was granted an 11th-hour temporary extension.

“I texted him, ‘we have good news,’” smiles Andersen, recalling the dramatic day.

“I was like, ‘I cannot even believe that I can stay longer,’” Tanumihardja adds.

If Tanumihardja is sent back to Indonesia based on denial of asylum, he would not by law be able to re-enter the United States for at least 10 years—even if DOMA was knocked down the next day and he was already married to Andersen.

“Clearly, asylum is an intensive process that uses a lot of resources of the courts and it’s emotionally draining,” says Lavi Soloway, Tanumihardja’s lawyer.

“No one should be pursuing that except as a last resort.”

Soloway, an L.A.-based attorney who has spent the last 17 years specializing in LGBTQ immigration issues, launched “Stop the Deportations: The DOMA Project” last October to help binational gay couples and their families stay together.

“What we were able to do in [Tanumihardja’s] case was to put that off indefinitely,” says Soloway.

Tanumihardja and Andersen found Soloway last year after firing off emails and letters to every organization they could think of to ask for help. “One of them referred me to Lavi, and by the next day he was on the phone with us every night and emailing all day long … giving us support, and telling us what to do,” says Andersen.

Before finding Soloway, Tanumihardja’s legal prospects were grim. “My first lawyer who filed on asylum said he doesn’t want to take care of the second appeal because he said it was too expensive,” says Tanumihardja. So he hired another lawyer whose name he saw in the newspaper. “My second appeal was denied, so I asked her what should I do. She said, ‘Maybe you should just fly under the radar.’”

Within two weeks of Tanumihardja’s and Andersen’s dramatic Valentine’s Day doom, the Obama administration announced that it would no longer defend DOMA in court. “The president has concluded that given a number of factors, including a documented history of discrimination, classifications based on sexual orientation should be subject to a more heightened standard of scrutiny,” said Attorney General Eric Holder in a formal statement released on Feb. 23 by the Department of Justice. “The president has also concluded that Section 3 of DOMA, as applied to legally married same-sex couples, fails to meet that standard and is therefore unconstitutional.”

The administration’s reversal is a big win for Soloway and his clients. “Not to be flippant about it, but essentially [the Obama administration’s] position is that we are correct,” says Soloway. “It’s unconstitutional to treat one married couple different from another couple.”

But announcing that DOMA will no longer be defended in court is not the same thing as striking it down. As long as the future of DOMA is unclear, so is fate of the Philadelphia couple that has become the angst-ridden faces of how DOMA affects binational gay families. “The number one thing binational couples can do in order to continue to advance the historic progress that we’re seeing on DOMA … is to share their stories,” advises Soloway. “We need to get their stories out there so people understand who they are and how they are impacted.”

Ironically, sharing his story with the press might have made things even worse for Tanumihardja back in Indonesia if he does, in the end, get deported anyway. “[My family] learned about [my sexuality] from CNN,” says Tanumihardja. “There’s a lot of reaction about that.” The family even asked Tanuminhardja to not be friends with a younger male relative on Facebook so no one would “tease him or beat him up” for being related to a gay man.

Like any engaged couple about to go for it, Tanumihardja and Andersen have one thing going for them that looms larger than fear: hope.

“Finally, after nine years being in this country trying to find someone to spend the rest of my life with, I found someone,” says Tanumihardja. “I believe he showed me his true love … We are getting officially married on June 12 and spend the rest of our lives together here in Philadelphia.” n To learn more about the DOMA Project, go to stopthedeportations.com.

Zoe Keating Cellist Zoe Keating has been a force, albeit mostly unheralded, in indie-rock for well over a decade. For several years, she was “second chair” in the Victorian-themed goth-cello outfit Rasputina, and she’s added her fourstringed flair (and arranging skills) to tracks

by DJ Shadow, John Vanderslice, Amanda Palmer and numerous others. Lately, however, she’s placed herself firmly in the spotlight with her recent acclaimed solo album, Into the Trees. It’s a mix of classical textures and avant-garde experimentation (a la Kronos Quartet) given a cinematic spin. Live, Keating loops herself via foot-controlled laptop (and occasionally adds beats) to create a virtual string ensemble that’s hypnotic, odd and often quite moving.

Bike-In Movie

Picture this: You and your sweetie (or sweet group of friends) sitting in lawn chairs on a rooftop munching on wood-fired oven pizza as a movie is projected in front of you, all without having to separate more than a few feet from your real true love—a certain sleek aluminum frame with wheels that don’t quit. The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia is about to make your dreams come true with a city twist on the drive-in movie. The feature, Breaking Away, deals with such universal themes as romancing an older and unattainable woman, fantasizing about joining a professional Italian cycling team and being unsure of what to do with your life. Highlights: townies versus college boys, high-speed bike chases, early Dennis Quaid. The event includes a short biking film pre-show and treats from host Whole Foods.

Bike parking available on the first floor if you need a little break from the ol’ ball and chain.

SoLow Festival This city is bursting with creative ingenuity.

Unfortunately, until there’s a boom in our economy, most of it will go undiscovered. Now in its second year, this 11-day grassroots art event gives local up-and-coming artists the opportunity to produce experimental projects without any financial risk. More than a dozen will perform throughout the festival in private homes and other nontraditional venues across the city. This includes a piece by No Face Performance Group that combines live improvised music, movement and instillation performance and Caitlin Hellerer’s “Belle of the Ball,” a dance piece set in her very own kitchen. While normally you might be hesitant to shell out cash for something deemed “experimental,” the audience is only asked to pay as much as they can afford and/or think the show is worth ($15 bucks max). Plus, with 100 percent of the revenue going straight into the performers’ pockets, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped feed a local starving artist. niCOLe FinKBiner 7pm. $1-$15.

n the fall of 2008, a motley group initiated a project to examine the effects of the Great Recession and Hurricane Katrina on ordinary Americans. Its ranks included a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, a contributing producer for public radio’s Studio 360, and a commercial photographer, among others. Rather than dispatch reporters to scrutinize credit default swaps, they went themselves and sat in the kitchens of people like the upstate New Yorkers depicted in Women of Troy, men and women who’d struggled with severe underemployment long before it ever troubled the middle class. And instead of unearthing FEMA planning documents, they visited a Gulf Coast homeowner who continues to tithe despite struggling to make mortgage payments on her mildewing house. “I have to remind myself: too blessed to be stressed,” she says in Congregation. That’s only one of many surprising, hopeful moments in these subjective, impressionistic and ambitious multimedia works.

all knees, elbows, dancing, noise and pure elation. The San Francisco-based artists put their solo careers on hold to record an album together in the spirit of their strong friendship, and the excitement and joy of that process is immediately audible on a track like “Eleven” which begins with the lyrics “when love is love, don’t let it go away.” And it doesn’t get much more optimistic than the anthemic chorus of “Teeth”: “This time I swear: more hope, less fail.” The jazzy horns and funked-out bassline of “Rubies and Rocks” demand you shake your hips in a sweaty speak-easy on a humid June evening be sure to stretch before catering to their wishes.

Wax Apple When Marcel Duchamp scribbled “R. Mutt” onto a found porcelain urinal in 1917, he laid the foundational questions that would follow conceptual art for the next century.

His ready-made Fountain forced audiences to think about the processes that allow art to become “art”: Whether production can triumph over materiality, and most importantly for Duchamp and his fellow Dadaist, how location and subsequent reception creates a work of art. “Wax Apple” seeks to pick up these questions and provide a multitude of visual answers through works that aim to unite the dichotomies of conceptual art. These concept-based works provide equal importance to the production of art and its physical embodiment in the form of color, composition and medium. The show includes work by a whopping 16 artists including the almost 3-D, colored-blocked paintings of Sam Falls and the mixed-media work of Robin Cameron. D.W. Through July 17. Free. Bodega, 253 N.

PrideDay Through Philadelphia they’ll be marching, with an artillery of fire crackers and rainbow flags waving proudly in the air. The city’s gay community is having its annual PrideDay Parade this Sunday; their legions of soldiers will be storming through the Gayborhood and won’t be taking any prisoners. No, that’s not right.

You’ll definitely live through this, and it is sure to be a good time. The parade starts at 13th and Locust streets, winds through the Gayborhood and ends at Penn’s Landing. There, special guests will perform, including Aisha Tyler (Archer, Talk Soup) and the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Choir. Keep an eye out for the Ben Franklin Bridge this weekend, too. Ole’ Benny will be outfitted with rainbow lights in honor of Gay Pride Day. ALEXiS SAChDEV Noon. 13th and Locust sts. $10 admission to Penn’s Landing. phillypride.org

Ultra Con It’s been nearly 30 years since Mattel introduced Masters of the Universe and almost 50 years since G.I. Joe invaded toy aisles. If you spent the past few decades in your basement with fine-tipped paint brushes and a battalion of retro action figures housed in a climate-controlled glass case, the 21st century is screaming, “Thundercats, Ho!” and beckoning you to Ultracon 2011. The retro toy and comic show features all the classic Marvel and DC favorites (no Hellboy or Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers here, kids), and several special guests, including pro-wrestler “The Patriot” and comic artists Will Torres, Will Olmo and Richard Hoffman. Dust off your light saber and enter the costume contest for a chance to win a vintage MoTU action figure or cash prizes. And don’t let the name fool you—Ultracon isn’t here to destroy your Autobots.

Those Darlins Murfreesboro, Tenn.’s Those Darlins broke through in 2009 with “Wild One” from their eponymous debut. “I may be a little darling gal of yours/ That’s when I’m straight and sober, and both feet are on the floor/ But sometimes when the booze grabs a hold of me/ I get the devil in my eyes and I’m running wild and free,” sang front-women Jessi, Nikki and Kelley Darlin with the reckless growl and selfconfident swagger of Calamity Jane and Loretta Lynn. The country outfit released Screws Get Loose earlier this year, continuing their punkmeets-twang path while destroying gender stereotypes along the way. “I just want to run and play in the dirt with you/ You just want to stick it in,” Jessi sings on the Phil Specter-esque “Be Your Bro.” Prepare for a helluva show and maybe, if you’re lucky, a black-eye.

sk the boys of the Great Unknown what kind of music they play and they’ll respond with sighs and shy smiles.

“That’s like asking me what kind of person I am,” says frontman Todd Henkin who anchors the band’s sound on guitar, harmonica and lead vocals. With song titles like “Decomposers and Producers” and “hEaRt rHYthm LuV sOUnd,” these West Philly friends and housemates pay tribute to the band’s recent tour in which they put to music the original words of kids in under-resourced schools. Think messing around on your guitar in your best friend’s basement if your best friend’s basement were stocked with homebrewed beer, decorated with vintage Christmas lights relocated to the woods, and filled with the laughing voices of children. Catchy melodies, delicate lyrics, and the contagious whimsy of the experience they offer up will make you want to move right in.

axe flailing, she’s as manic a ball of energy as it gets—Texas trio Ume (pronouced “oooo-may”) takes Sonic Youth’s prettier, more melodic moments, impales them with shards of postpunk guitar, douses them in shoegazery noise, then runs them over with a muscle-car rhythm section. With her remarkably versatile voice, Larson can pull you in with a coquettish coo (think Nina Persson of the Cardigans, or maybe that chick from Blonde Redhead) then bloody you up with a vicious snarl (think a wounded, cornered wolf, or maybe old-school Karen O).

Expect to be slayed by anything Ume plays from their killer Sunshower EP (and hopefully some new stuff) tonight, and to leave believing they’re indie-rock superstars-in-waiting. M.A.G.

celebration of light and color. “Intention and Improvisation” is an arrangement of interrelated abstract paintings by Moe Brooker, a veteran Philly artist with a fresh artistic vision.

As an art affectionato with roots in the innercity, Brooker draws on a seemingly disparate array of cultural influences to produce a oneof-a-kind affect. His urban roots exposed him to Jazz and graffiti, two art forms that embrace spontaneous acts of creativity. This spontaneity (or “Improvisation”) is guided by an “Intention” that dates back to the days of impressionism—the urge to explore the interaction of light and color. The unification of these two seeming opposites is what powers this uninhibited exploration of what Brooker calls “the joy of the human spirit.” CArL A. o’DonnELL

Triumphant Pride

A preview of Philly’s upcoming LGBT events.

As the city where America’s first gay-rights demonstration took place in 1965 (that’s four years before the Stonewall riots in N.Y.C.), Philadelphia has a deep history to honor during this week’s annual gay pride celebration. A weekend full of events will culminate with the LGBT pride parade and festival on June 12. After soaking up the sun at Penn’s Landing for the festival, Triumphant Pride at Mad River provides enough cold drinks, shade and air conditioning to keep the party going well into the night. The event has been the place to be the past four years with over 700 attendees last year. This year’s party features performances by Pretty Poison’s Jade Starling, as well as openly gay pop singer Oh My Josh and several Dragapalooza Divas. Starling will shoot scenes for her new music video so dress to impress. Local DJ Reenie Kane will work the turntables and Smirnoff drink specials will be served all night. Sun., June 12, 3pm.

Decades before gay people were lobbying the government for equal rights, advocates had simpler goals—visibility and recognition. Fast-forward to 2011, and the progress we’ve made is pretty remarkable. But in getting here, some feel we’ve sacrificed too much, compromised too many times and lost our passion for authentic activism. In pursuit of uniting every color of the LGBT rainbow, organizers of the Philly Dyke March are using public gatherings and social media to encourage acceptance within the gay community. Theirs is a commitment to removing barriers, such as gender, race, age, faith and size, which often subdivide gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. The parade kicks off this Saturday at Kahn Park and navigates the streets of the Gayborhood. Burlesque group the Liberty City Drag Kings and Mr.

Each can be pretty outrageous and hysterical alone, but the whole is far edgier than the sum of its parts. The night combines standup, choreographed drag, audience participation and sketchstyle comedy interludes that don’t just cross the line—they completely erase it. Absolutely no subject is off limits. Freaky Fridays also features several of Philly’s most promising up-and-coming drag queens. There’s no cover charge, but if you want to get a seat close to the stage, make sure to arrive early.

Mmm Bop: Best of the Boy Bands

The Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus are taking the guilty pleasure of boy band music and bringing it to Philly this month.

In celebration of pop music’s most popular male bands, the men will perform individual songs and medleys from more than 60 groups. From the Beatles and the Beach Boys, to the Four Seasons and the Eagles, the PGMC will bring down the house with nonstop energy and harmony. In addition to the music, the chorus’s elite dance troupe will perform alongside the chorus. Sure to be a toe tapping, finger-snapping good time.

You’re Quite The Dish

Sauteed Mussels at Dmitri’s in Queen Village

By Cristina Perachio

Rya n St R a n d

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Sauteed Mussels at Dmitri’s, you’re quite the dish! People have resigned to the fact that to get a bite of you, they’ll have to wait. A while.

Yeah, they can’t get enough of me. I like to take credit for creating those lines outside of this joint and also for keeping New Wave Cafe packed across the street!

We send all my fans there for a drink while they wait.

And sometimes they wait so long they’re soused by the time they get a table, but that doesn’t stop them from scarfing me down and demanding an encore.

What makes you such a rock star?

Simplicity! No fuss! I’m washed, steamed for 30 minutes, shelled and sauteed with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper for about 15 minutes until I’m brown and crispy. I’m the potato chip of seafood—salty, tender and a bit crunchy—you can’t stop eating. Even folks who whine about mussels— “too chewy!” “too fishy!”—are powerless.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 8 - 14, 2011

You’re Greek, but Dmitri’s Chef Kau Yang is Laotian—what’s his secret to getting you just right?

There’s no secret—it’s his consistency that keeps people paying to eat me. But I’ll let you in on a little secret of my own: A healthy squeeze of lemon while I’m still hot really brings out the full salty/sweet flavor.

Dmitri’s is BYO—any pairing suggestions?

A good choice is always a light-citrusy Sauvignon Blanc, which goes great with me and any of the seafood dishes on the menu.

The menu is set up so diners can have several small plates. What’s your dream team?

Start with the hummus and baba—you’ll need extra pita—plus the feta and olives. Then my tasty rival, grilled octopus. Plus the perfectly spicy, shrimp pil pil. And me, of course. Once you’ve sheepishly asked for round six of your pita basket and scraped every morsel from your teeth—that’s when I’ll get my encore. n

Neighborhood seafood joints got you covered.

By Nicole Finkbiner nfinkbiner@philadelphiaweekly.com You know that Chinese takeout place around the corner from your house that’s clearly in violation of some sort of health code, but you’ve never found a cockroach in the food so you continue to order from them anyway?

Well, right around the corner from that there’s probably an equally sketchy seafood joint that you’ve never dared venture into. How bad could it really be?

From hole-in-the-wall takeout joints in North Philly to slightly larger, seemingly more sanitary establishments in West Philly, PW scoured the city in search of some good, cheap seafood. And despite the unsolicited health warnings we heard from numerous individuals, we didn’t get sick once.

Bottom of the Sea

327 S. 52nd St. 215.471.5600* Other locations: 4142 Lancaster Ave.; 10 N. Ninth St., Darby Order: Dungeness crab cluster and potato salad, $8.50.

Open till 1 a.m during the week and till 3 a.m on Friday and Saturday,* this is a great place to grab some late-night takeout or simply check the score of the Sixers game. Its exterior may be less than inviting, but you’ll feel slightly better once you see Bottom of the Sea is endorsed by the likes of Bill Cosby and Beanie Sigel, whose pictures with the owner dot the walls. Their menu boasts more than 30 different platters and combos, most under $20. The crab cluster side proved to be a decent meal by itself, despite being a tad over Old Bay seasoned. Their “special patented Down the Bottom Garlic Butter Sauce” is actually real garlic and butter, as simple as it is tasty. Bottom of the Sea boasts being “the fastest-growing restaurant chain in the tri-state area.” We don’t know about that, but they do have three locations in town.

Cameron’s Seafood

906 N. Broad St. 215.765.1000 Order: Soft-shell crab platter with veggies, fries and a biscuit, $8.80.

You’d think the fishy odor permeating the air within a 20-foot radius of this place would scare people off. Nope— there’s a line reaching the door every night of the week.

They also happen to have 12 locations across the Delaware Valley. Their food is OK, and definitely tastes better than it smells. But still, there’s no explaining the crowds. We ordered New England clam chowder, but were served Manhattan instead. Or, come to think of it, it may have been minestrone. It wasn’t very clammy. Skip it, but make sure you get a slushie (we strongly recommend the strawberry and piña colada mix).

Mr. Hook Fish & Chicken

206 S. 52nd St. 215.748.5074 Order: Dungeness crab platter with New Zealand mussels, pasta, broccoli and corn, $13.99.

For less than $15, Mr. Hook will serve you up one hell of a meal. In addition to a rather generous helping of pasta and mussels, we spent at least a half hour digging into the delicious, massive crab. The corn on the cob may come straight out of a microwave, but that’s nothing a little butter can’t fix. The fried catfish platter exceeds expectations, too. Mr. Hook is one of the few take-out/delivery jawns with tables. We recommend you dine in, and admire the minimalist interior design. Mr. Hook doesn’t take credit cards. They do however, as noted several times on the menu, take Access cards.

Kurth’s Seafood

901 W. Susquehanna Ave. 215.763.6324 Order: Oyster platter, fries and macaroni salad, $7.

This North Philly takeout only spot has been in business for 70 years. Yet, with a couple of bullet/rock-size holes in its weatherworn sign and a large portrait of John F. Kennedy propped up against the off-colored walls, it doesn’t look a day over 65. They make their own hand-cut fries daily, which, if cut a little larger and fried a few extra minutes, might be worth writing home about. Everything on the small menu is fried. We decided to try the oysters. A bit slimy, but perfectly breaded. The staff was friendly and it’s a big hit with the locals, both young and old.

J&P Seafood

4820 Spruce St. 215.474.8600 Order: Black mussels, $6.99.

Baltimore Crab & Seafood is half a block away, but J&P is more inviting. (The absence of bulletproof glass, perhaps?)

Decked out with nautical decor along with a huge underwater mural and a canoe hanging from the ceiling, the spacious J&P makes many of the other seafood spots on this crawl look like crack dens in comparison. Not wanting to commit to a big platter, we ordered two appetizers and wound up paying almost as much. The single soft-shell crab definitely wasn’t worth $5.25. The mussels, on the other hand, were fantastic. Their garlic butter sauce is infused with a few other seasonings, giving it a spicy kick. Biggest con: With no bathroom and only three tables barely big enough to fit a platter on, you’re forced to eat elsewhere.

Biggest pro: At no extra cost, a creepy delivery guy will undress you with his eyes the entire time you’re there. n

Wrack and Ruined

A rundown bar offers solace in war-torn Congo.

By J. Cooper Robb jrobb@philadelphiaweekly.com M A R K G A Rv i n

Mama (Heather Alicia Simms, left) is a bar owner who agrees to buy Christian's (Oberon K.A. Adjeppng) niece in Ruined.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is not a safe place to be. A vicious civil war is destroying the nation and everyone is at risk, including the denizens of Mama Nadi’s bar and brothel, a rundown bar in a small mining town.

So begins the Philadelphia Theatre Company’s season closer, a production of Lynn Nottage’s Ruined.

A proud, independent woman, Mama (the sensationally appealing Heather Alicia Simms) is a saloon keeper with a heart of gold and machete behind the bar. A beautiful woman whose colorful dresses stand in stark contrast to the soldiers’ military fatigues (Janus Stefanowicz is responsible for thoughtful costume design), Mama is unwilling to take sides in the conflict between the rebel forces and the government’s military, explaining: “In my house I try to keep everyone happy.” It is perilous balancing act, considering both the rebels and the government forces visit Mama’s on a regular basis. Despite her efforts to keep the conflict beyond her front door (Mama insists the soldiers empty their weapons before being served) it seems only a matter of time before the establishment becomes part of the war zone.

Like Mama, Nottage doesn’t take sides in

the civil war. Regardless of their allegiance, the soldiers are all equally barbaric and the cruelty they show toward the women is both gratuitous and sickening. But Ruined is not relentlessly depressing; Nottage does express the belief that even in the most horrendous environment, love can survive.

The cast assembled by director Maria Mileaf is uniformly strong. In addition to the terrific Simms, Keona Welch is heartbreaking as the 15-year-old Sophie, who in the shocking opening scene is sold to Mama by her caring uncle Christian (Oberon K.A. Adjepong in a complicated but effective performance). Christian knows that at least with Mama, Sophie will be fed, housed and kept relatively safe. Taken from her village, the young girl was brutally raped by soldiers and is now considered “ruined” goods. Considering what Sophie has endured, we find ourselves viewing Mama more as a savior than a slave owner.

Ruined is a curious choice for the Pulitzer.

The award is given “for a distinguished play by an American author, preferably original in its source and dealing with American life.”

We can forgive Ruined for not dealing with American life, but the play’s clumsy plotting makes it an odd choice for an award that celebrates a play’s script and not a particular production. Featuring several implausible scenes and scenarios, Ruined requires us to occasionally suspend our disbelief. It’s not hard to do and despite the plot improbabilities and the occasional stock character, PTC’s production is undeniably involving theater.

What makes the play so gripping is the emotional connection Nottage forges between the audience and the characters. The action may be taking place in a third-world rainforest, but we come to care deeply for Mama and her girls, and the few decent men who use the bar as a temporary refuge from the war.

Most Philadelphians only have a vague knowledge about war in the DRC. To many, it’s just another bewildering conflict in a far-flung region of the globe. In one of the play’s most chilling passages, the play’s lone white character, Mr. Harari (a kind entrepreneur played by the excellent Paul Meshejian), reveals that the most precious mineral in the region’s mines isn’t diamonds or gold, but coltan, an essential component in laptops and cell phones. The thought that our everyday technological devices play a role in the mutilations and killings occurring in the DNC makes Nottage’s play seem not only tragic, but deeply personal. n

NoLibs in a Nutshell

Artists tackle a neighborhood’s transformation.

By Nicole Finkbiner

nfinkbiner@philadelphiaweekly.com

Deere in headlights: Ira Upin's "Battleground."

Considered Philadelphia’s first suburb, Northern Liberties for many years was a thriving manufacturing hub and a diverse, middle-class community. After the economic decline of the 1950s, it was left a desolate slum until artists who couldn’t afford to live in Old City began filtering in during the ’70s.

The area was so cheap at the time that artist Frank Hyder purchased the property now home to Projects Gallery for less than $15,000.

Its current exhibit, “Northern Liberties: A Transformation,” showcases the works of 10 local artists to tell the story of how the neighborhood came to be the vibrant, yuppie/hipster haven it is today.

Jennifer Baker has been documenting the destruction and rebirth of the neighborhood from her studio on Green Street since 1978.

In her collection, she directly contrasts the old and the new—her dark oil paintings of the Burk Brothers Tannery demolition are

followed by a bright landscape portrait of Liberty Lands Park, which now occupies the site.

While most of the featured artwork seems critical of NoLibs, capturing scenes during the uncertain early stages of its revitalization, there’s also a resounding sense of hope. In a blueprint-like painting of the area, artist Bruce Pollock shows the streets as green tree branches with the exception of one—presumably undeveloped—section, where they remain brown.

Giving a voice and some historical context to the artwork, the gallery commissioned a short documentary by former resident and semiprofessional filmmaker John Thornton in conjunction with the exhibit. Befittingly titled Northern Liberties: Destitute Urban Carnival Reborn, the video offers glimpses of the neighborhood through its quirky characters and community spaces. Urban activist and planner Nathaniel Popkin delivers one of the film’s most poignant messages: “I have this theory that any city is a ruins and all we do is come in and adapt to that ruins and build to that ruins.”

With all its new multi-million dollar commercial/residential developments, NoLibs may seem far from “ruins.” But much of the neighborhood’s best attributes today are reminiscent of its character some 200 years ago. Still, it continues to be a close-knit community and one of the city’s most vital sources of creativity. n

By the age of 35, Philly native Terrence Gore had traveled the world as an incredibly gifted jack-of-all-trades. His long list of titles include art curator, gallery owner, dancer, hairstylist, caterer and interior designer. Then in 2005, Gore tested positive for HIV. Not long afterward, he was diagnosed with a rare disease that eats away at the protective coating around the brain. Most who contract the virus die within months.

But Gore—now in his mid-40s—is still busy tapping into his array of artistic talents, only now with greater meaning. In sharing his story, he hopes to empower others battling debilitating illnesses while also raising awareness about the realities of HIV/AIDS. Having spent two years in and out of a coma and struggling with persistent seizures, temporary blindness and partial paralysis—which he continues to endure on the entire right side of his body—Gore was forced to learn to create with his left hand. Starting with a small watercolor painting in his hospital room, and with the help of doctors, friends and his own sheer will, Gore was eventually able to produce a collection of 24 pieces.

Made up of mixed media, collage and acrylics, many of Gore’s works take inspiration from the everyday objects that surrounded him—like a bowl of fruit. But perhaps the most telling piece in the collection is his self-portrait: Created on a 100-year-old window frame, the image is constructed from various fabrics. It’s not hard to feel emotionally drawn to it; his dark, intense eyes peering out from the frame speak volumes. (N.F.) Through June 12.

Six Pack Six Great Films Booed at Cannes

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com L’Avventura (1960): At nearly every

Cannes Film Festival, a couple assholes actively and loudly make their negative opinions known. And what’s incredible is how often they’re dead wrong. When he premiered his artistic turning point, director Michelangelo Antonioini, along with star Monica Vitti, had to flee the theater due to catcalls and other assorted hysteria. A second screening went swimmingly, though, and the film nabbed both the Jury Prize and, very soon, classic status. After all, anything truly innovative will be initially loathed.

Gertrud (1964): The rumor is that 75-yearold Carl Theodor Dreyer (The Passion of Joan of Arc) flipped the audience the bird after they booed his swan song. In their slight defense, they were witnessing what was at that point one of the most purposefully slow films ever made. Unprepared in the era before Tarkovsky, Akerman and Tarr, critics wrote this transcendently glacial masterwork off as a “two-hour study of sofas and pianos” and reminiscent of the way filmmaking “used to be done before [D.W.] Griffith made a few technical innovations.”

L’Argent (1983): Audiences, however, were

long used to the minimalist stylings of Robert Bresson (Pickpocket) by his final film—that was the problem. Audiences booed the 82 year old as he accepted the “Grand Prize for Creative Filmmaking” along with Andrei Tarkovsky, mostly because he was considered out of vogue.

Kids those days, eh?

The Brown Bunny (2004): Antonioni, P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 8 - 14, 2011

Dreyer and Bresson had thick skin, preserving their artistic vision against vitriol. After a disastrous premiere, which prompted a hilarious tussle (then reconciliation) with Roger Ebert, Vincent Gallo gouged a half hour from his minimalist grief saga. But was that a good thing?

Antichrist (2009): It’s almost as though Lars Von Trier (whose The Idiots was also booed) made this galvanizing horrorshow not for audiences but to elicit Cannes brouhaha.

And it worked gangbusters, concluding with the director proclaiming himself the “greatest filmmaker in the world.” And he never said anything crazy at Cannes ever again.

The Tree of Life (2011): Terrence Malick’s

• 34

booed bugfuck scored the Palme d’Or and an insane opening weekend per screen average of $122,250. Sorry, haters.

Meaning of Life Tree of Life seeks to reconcile one child’s troubled upbringing with the entire history of the universe.

By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com entire history of the universe. It is by turns rapturous and astonishing, and occasionally a little bit silly. I adore the ambition and am in awe of the accomplishment, even if I’m still not sure it all quite hangs together in the end.

Taking the form of a whispered prayer to a God who may or may not be listening, the fractured narrative unspools in symphonic movements. Essentially plotless, The Tree Of Life follows the O’Brien family, living in 1950s Texas, and begins with the mysterious death of one of their three sons. Adult Jack (Sean Penn) wanders the modern-day world with barely a line of dialogue, dwarfed by modernist architecture and reflecting upon not just his past but also the formation of the solar system.

With an assist from visual-effects legend Douglas Trumbull, who pioneered this technology with 2001: A Space Odyssey, Malick cycles back a few billion years to the Big Bang. We’re swept away in a visually ecstatic, self-contained set piece that incorporates everything from the original underwater cellular mitosis to dinosaurs learning compassion. It keeps coming back to the director’s ever-present catchphrase: “All things.”

But what sticks in your gut is the astonishing mini-movie plopped into the middle, a searingly personal account of Daddy dearest: Brad Pitt (left) stars as an abusive father who Malick’s own boyhood with his emotionally distant, slightly wants to toughen up his sons. terrifying father (Brad Pitt).

New Music Recommendations Black Lips, Fucked Up, Oneida and more!

By Elliott Sharp

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

The number of new music releases each week/month is overwhelming.

This is our attempt to help you navigate the never-ending deluge.

The Black Lips

Arabia Mountain (Vice) Atlanta troublemakers the Black Lips drop 16 of their finest nuggets on this sixth LP via Vice Records. The tunes rage with brave garage-fi fury, but producer Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Ghostface Killah, Robbie Williams) has polished up the grimy, oil-stained gems and made ’em shine like never before. Still hell-bound, the quartet blast straight into the whiskey-seas of rock annihilation, but the jangly guitars, joyous handclaps, sax booms and roadhouse beats sound crisper and more urgent. This is the first time they’ve worked with a producer, and it has definitely paid off.

keren Ann

Canada’s Fucked Up return after 2008’s crushing The Chemistry of Common Life with a full-blown, 18-tune punk opera about a guy named David. A light-bulb factory employee in England, David falls in love with an anarchist lady, with whom he plans a grand act of political revolt.

She dies, he’s accused of murder, and he plunges into an epic search for meaning against the backdrop of Thatcher’s crumbling, depressing, shitty England. The compositions are built on orchestral guitars and anthemic drums, with Damian Abraham’s bark perfectly complimented by women vocal guest(s) (at one point, Madeline Follin of Cults, an N.Y.C. pop duo whose self-titled debut is also out this week). The album begins with sunny, optimistic tunes— Abraham referred to them in an interview as “twee”—and gradually, as the story unfolds, shifts into angry, hardcore, life-affirming burners.

Battles Gloss Drop (Warp)

Battles, Gloss Drop

This is the band’s followup to 2007’s hard-hitting Warp debut, Mirrored. After the departure of multiinstrumentalist and vocalist Tyondai Braxton, the (now) trio of Ian Williams (formerly of Don Caballero), John Stanier (formerly of Helmet), and Dave Konopka have filled the vocal hole on Gloss Drop by inviting several guests, including Gary Numan (yes, the guy who sang “Cars”), Blonde Redhead’s Kazu Makino and the Boredom’s Yamantaka Eye. I must admit, after hearing the first single, “Ice Cream,” I was very skeptical. While funky as hell and instrumentally spectacular, it, well, um, sounded like fucking 311. Having since heard the entire record, and seen them throw down a ripping live version of “Wall Street,” my skepticism has (mostly) vanished.

Though Braxton’s brilliant compositional eccentricities are sadly lacking, it’s a solid sophomore effort that finds the trio unleashing the same spiraling grooves and slamming beats that made Mirrored so compelling, while also introducing strange tropical flavors and fresh cosmic oddities.

Oneida Absolute II (Jagjaguwar) With 2009’s Rated O, Brooklyn’s Oneida unleashed an epic, triple LP that manically darted across stylistic zones, from heady rock anthems and noise to contemplative sessions and percussion explosions. On Absolute II the train hits a brick wall, as the quintet create four 10 minute-long exercises in otherworldly austerity. With no beat to express time, the minimal drones, alien hisses, machine clicks, and static sparkles produce a feeling of timelessness and extreme unfamiliarity, like floating alone, half-dead, inside a spaceship that’s on fire with no driver behind the wheel.

Tombs Path of Totality (Relapse) “Chaos Reigns,” proclaims Tombs’ vocalist Mike Hill to kick off this Brooklyn metal band’s sophomore release. Those who wandered through the nightmare world of Lars von Trier’s Antichrist will recognize the phrase as the one uttered by the fox who makes the statement between gnawing on the baby fox in its own womb. What follows is a lovely swamp-drag through sludgy, black metal with chunky riffs, bleak melodies, cymbal shimmers and hellish grrrrs.

Shabazz Palaces Black Up (Sub Pop) Following the release of two EPs in 2009, the much-hyped Sub Pop debut from Shabazz Palaces finally drops to tickle and delight your ears. The Seattle hip-hop project is helmed by ex-Digable Planets MC Butterfly, who has now evolved into Palaceer Lazaro. Black Up constructs an alien and oddly disjointed, lo-fi and bass-heavy world where sounds swirl, vanish and (occasionally) return. Oftentimes, it’s as if sections of a single track are happening at different spatiotemporal coordinates, not necessarily connected to those they accompany, but swooping in from across the globe, history, the galaxy. On opening track “Free Press and Curl,” a woman’s vocals spectrally shift vertically and horizontally as Lazaro spits philosophically: “I’m free to be a slave to all these things I can’t escape/ Trapped inside, imagination’s tickling at my face/ Free to chain my will onto the wings of my instinct/ And wander around this box I am inextricably linked.” n New music recommendations can be found every Tuesday on PW ’s music blog, makemajormoves.com

For Fans Of: Iron & Wine x America, Fleet Foxes + CSNY, slow burns, whispers.

Iceage

Duncan Sheik + The Watson Twins o matter how expensive the tools on your workbench, it doesn’t make you a mechanic. By the same token, the N Watson Twins and Duncan Sheik may be talented musicians but they’re hardly artists. Both have displayed a load of promise without ever elevating their craft. They’re hardly hacks, but given their gifts, disappointment’s been their bounty. At this point, Sheik’s future’s “Barely Breathing.” A gifted pianist with a gentle baritone croon, he’s never progressed beyond his ’96 hit, sinking into the smooth distinction-less morass of adult contemporary pop and paved over by an endless procession of similarly colorless, disposable soft rock wannabes (see Gavin DeGraw, James Blunt). The Watson Twins have beautiful voices but it remains to be seen whether they’re able to progress beyond “potential American Idol contestants.” Sure, give them “Just Like Heaven” or line them up behind Jenny Lewis and they shine, but their own material’s proven exceptionally uninspiring. (Chris Parker)

bunctious punk from Danish teens packing 12 songs into less than 25 minutes; angular, explosive punk that’s timeless and catchy.

I’m a 22-year-old FTM. I will become a legal male this summer. WOOT. Useless hole but still no pole. My friends—all straight—don’t know I’m FTM because I don’t feel it matters. I don’t know any other FTMs, and I really don’t care to. However, I like men. I have never had a boyfriend or been on a date. I go to gay clubs and flirt, get hit on, dance and make out with other gay men. But when I am up front about being FTM, I never hear from a guy again. My question is, when do I tell a gay man I have been flirting with that I am not a bio male? I don’t want to deceive them, but I at least want a chance for them to get to know me a little bit first.

No Pole, No Go

I’m wondering whether you have any thoughts on the male tendency when sharing “naughty” photos to go straight for a close-up shot of the penis. Representative Anthony Weiner’s tweeting disaster has brought to mind a number of recent cases where high-profile men—such as Kanye West and Brett Favre—sent other women similar shots in an apparent attempt to seduce them. However, the response I’ve heard from women to such offerings can be summed up as “Ew, yuck!”

Totally Confused Female Some men think this sort of overture works, TCF, because sometimes it works.

Before we get into that, I want to say a few words about Anthony Weiner: Nothing the gentleman from New York said last week made him sound like a man who hasn’t taken a picture of his cock at some point and sent it to someone for some reason. Nevertheless, I’m confident that Weiner is going to beat this thing.

Watching Weinergate unfold is like watching the voters-getting-over-politicians-who’ve-smokedpot story play out all over again, only this time at warp speed and with sexting standing in for THC. With pot, we went from exposure resulting in an instantaneous resignation in 1987 (Supreme Court nominee Douglas Ginsburg) to a tacit admission being a survivable mini-scandal in 1992 (Bill “Smoked, Didn’t Inhale” Clinton) to a collective shrug in 2008 (Barack “I Got High” Obama). With dirty pol pics, we’ve gone from instant resignation in February 2011 (Representative Christopher “Craigslist Congressman” Lee) to a tacit admission looking like a survivable mini-scandal in June 2011 (Representative Anthony “Beat This Thing” Weiner). At this rate, we’ll be shrugging off the dirty pics of a congressman-to-be-named-later sometime before Labor Day. Getting back to your question, TCF: The cockshot overture doesn’t work on most women, I’ll grant you, but the sort of guys who send cock shots aren’t interested in most women. They’re interested in the sort of women who this sort of overture works on. And the sort of men who think only with their photogenic dicks—and not all men are that sort—figure the quickest way to determine if a woman is that sort of woman is to send the cock shot.

Despite a unanimous “Ew, yuck!” from your friends, TCF, there are women out there who do respond positively. One of the women you talked to about cock shots may have thought, “Well, it depends on the guy,” but told you, “Ew, yuck!” because it was clear from the “Ew, yuck!” look on your face that “Ew, yuck!” was what you wanted to hear.

Gentlemen: The existence of a handful of women who welcome cock shots does not give you license to send cock shots to all women. Cock shots are for women who have expressed a clear and unambiguous interest in receiving cock shots.

The first thing Buck Angel—trans activist, public speaker and porn star—wanted to say, NPNG, was congrats in advance on becoming a legal male. The second thing Buck wanted to say was that hole of yours isn’t useless.

“If he isn’t familiar with my work, maybe he should check it out,” said Buck (buckangel.com).

“I get tremendous pleasure from my hole and I am comfortable sharing that with the world in my movies. Whether a transman plans on getting a penis or not, there still has to be a time that he realizes that what’s between his legs does not define who he is.”

It seems to me that time—the time you realized that you’re not defined by what’s between your legs—had to have come before you began transitioning, NPNG, otherwise you wouldn’t be transitioning at all. As for how the guys you’re meeting in gay bars now, post-transition, feel about what is or isn’t between your legs, Buck has some advice for you about that, too: “If he meets a guy and tells him about himself—which is the right thing to do—and he doesn’t hear back, then that wasn’t the right guy for him.”

If you’re not having any luck with messy face-toface meetings/make-out sessions in gay bars, Buck suggests you consider online dating.

“If he’s looking to hook up,” said Buck, “here’s a site where he can start: ftmlover.com. He’ll see that there are tons—and I mean TONS—of men out there who are interested in guys like us!”

But before you start meeting those guys, NPNG, Buck thinks—and I agree—that you have to become more comfortable in your own skin. “Be proud of your body,” said Buck. “When you feel confident that you are a man, no one can tell you otherwise.”

Do you know what might help you feel more confident? Getting to know some other trans guys.

“There are many reasons that someone might isolate themselves from other trans and gay people,” said Ezra Goetzen, a mental health therapist and trans community activist. “Some folks identify as male-to-male, seeing their transition as a medical procedure rather than a path to a transgender identity. Others, due to the fabulously flattering cultural/media images of trans people in general, internalize the shame, indifference and disgust— and they don’t want to be reminded of these feelings by hanging out with other trans people.”

Whatever your particular reason for avoiding transmen, NPNG, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

“Being isolated from other trans folks leaves little room to find support and role models for loving yourself,” said Goetzen. “And it makes getting invaluable tips on how to get laid safely and carefully harder.”

You know, invaluable tips like the ones Buck provided you with today. Want more tips like those, NPNG? Then get to know some of the guys out there who have successfully navigated the path you’re stumbling along.
