FROM THE EDITOR

Of Prejudice and Pride L

KERITH GABRIEL

ast week, heading home on an eastbound Market-Frankford EL ride from City Hall, I overheard a conversation between two passengers on the topic of this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Philadelphia Pride Day festivities.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one in complete celebration.

Though I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear the entire conversation, I did hear one of the passengers when asked jokingly if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d planned to attend the event clearly say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Son, I just told you...miss me with that gay shit, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not playinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;?

Miss me with that gay shit. What the hell does that even mean?

What does â&#x20AC;&#x153;that gay shitâ&#x20AC;? look like?

Honestly, what is there to fear in this day and age to simply respond in kind that you are or arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attending the installment of a week and marquee day created to celebrate the strides members of the LGBT community have made?

I was bafďŹ&#x201A;ed, so I sought insight from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LGBT affairs director, Amber Hikes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stigma and discrimination exist everywhere,â&#x20AC;? Hikes wrote to PW via email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about racism, xenophobia, homophobia, or transphobia, people (regardless of race, class, and geography) are afraid of what they do not know.â&#x20AC;?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not entirely up to speed on an LGBT culture that has many rules and nuances. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still getting up to speed on ensuring I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disrespect LGBT people I interview or even come in contact with by forcing myself to ask what pronoun best identiďŹ es them. To fully attempt to understand other identiďŹ ers within a culture that is deeply rooted in every corner of our fair city is, admittedly, a bit multifaceted.

But isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of the fun in learning 3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20

is learning about things we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the embarrassment in educating oneself in what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know as opposed to thinking it better to diss it in the back of a hot, overcrowded SEPTA rail car, assuredly a car chock full of Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vibrant LGBT community? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been over a week and yes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still hot over that comment. In this day and age, with more and more people identifying somewhere on the LGBT spectrum, the idea homophobia still rampantly exists is laughable. But as a black man in America, I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the same realm as racism, which sadly isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going anywhere.

I learned a great deal in the production of this, my ďŹ rst time overseeing the Philadelphia Weekly Pride Issue. Our feature on transgender rabbi Ari Lev Fornari, on Page 12, taught me a great deal on the ďŹ ghting spirit (literally and ďŹ guratively) of a person using his faith to create change and sway bias. I learned how despite being the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bâ&#x20AC;? in LGBT, many people who identify as bisexuals feel disconnected from the community (page 14).

These are stories that not only make for interesting reading, but they also educate.

The latter Hikes said is vastly needed in every community; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to LGBT members of those communities to continue to fuel the charge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; without fear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a ďŹ rm believer in individuals using their position in their communities to speak about their LGBTQ identity, connect, and build deeper understandings with neighbors,â&#x20AC;? continued Hikes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personal safety is of the utmost importance, and if one can safely be out in their neighborhood, I encourage them to do so.â&#x20AC;?

In the coming weeks, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve planned to explore homophobia in low-lying communities within the city to see where comments such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;miss me with that gay shitâ&#x20AC;? still stem from. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s naive to think this was a singular event, so we plan to hit multiple spots and get feedback from the melting pot of races, ethnicities and sexual orientations that make Philadelphia, the best city in America.

Sure that may be bias, but pride for oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city should be one of the only few times where bias has a place in conversation. Q TWITTER: @SPRTSWTR

The time we kicked that stupid ass â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free Speech Busâ&#x20AC;? the fuck out of our town.

On April 1, an orange bus adorned with the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Biology: Boys are boys...and always will be. Girls are girls...and always will be. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change sex.

Respect allâ&#x20AC;? spewed all kinds of inequality in the City of Brotherly Love. Mind you, this was fresh from being vandalized during a stop in Boston. But back here in Philly, before the bus could even round City Hall, it was met by a crowd of more than 100 protesters with their own counter-demonstration in tow. Q

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re knocking Quigley for this one, but the more you think about it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually a smart idea. Trump tweets are so frequent, the administration press corps may have to make another hire just to keep up with all the spewage from Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twitter happy ďŹ ngers. But it just may become another way for Trump to brag about fueling Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy.

mar Lahyane, 51, better known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;West Philly Omar,â&#x20AC;? died last week in an apparent suicide, sparking a seemingly irreconcilable debate between his revilers and his champions.

A deeply troubled alcoholic who was a perennial ďŹ xture near the 4500 block of Locust Street, Omar was known by thousands, if only in name.

This is perhaps the sum total of universally agreed upon statements about Omar Lahyane.

To many, he was a malicious drunk with a history of violence toward women â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that is all that matters. To others, he was an eccentric and spontaneously warm-hearted folk hero in the community who suffered from mental illness.

He played a hundred different roles to a different people at the same time: a street corner entertainer, a neighborhood watch-

dog, a close friend.

But in the wake of his sudden death, West Philadelphians have been jockeying over the shape of Omarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public memory, and whatever one of his acquaintances recalls of him risks offending one of his victims.

No fondness should be indulged for a man who sexually and violently assaulted young women over the years, according to several people who shared their accounts publicly.

Clare Finin, a West Philly resident, said Omar once threw a beer bottle that shattered on her head. Others have shared dozens of stories about Omar touching them inappropriately, shouting horriďŹ c obscenities, and even threatening rape and murder while intoxicated.

In the eyes of many victims, to speak of any Omarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other qualities is to defend an abuser.

The explosive debate has even drawn

along racial lines, with some arguing white people (mainly young transplants to the city) have romanticized a person of color either out of ignorance or for their own sociocultural gain. And yet, at the same time, some men and women of color spoke warmly of Omarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on their lives.

Some are trying to see all sides of Omar and what he meant. They too are shouted down and criticized.

Bianca Fiscella, a 12-year resident of West Philly, said she abhorred Omarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s violence, but she recognizes the uncanny effect he had on the neighborhood over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Literally every â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;side â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; is right,â&#x20AC;? Fiscella said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And how fascinating, really? That one man, a schizophrenic, alcoholic, immigrant living on the margins of society, could provoke the whole range of human emotions and experience from an entire community? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that in the wake of his suicide he has provoked the biggest most, public reaction Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever witnessed! An entire neighborhood up in arms, a whole section of the city talking about him!â&#x20AC;?

A philly.com article about Omar published Monday referred to the deceased as â&#x20AC;&#x153;an enigmaâ&#x20AC;? in the headline. Despite the article documenting some of his alleged abuses, many on Facebook and social media blasted it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;tone deafâ&#x20AC;? for its depiction of Omar as a complex, contradictory individual.

Ryan Collerd, a photographer and West Philly resident who knew the deceased for years, said he completely understands those who revile Omar and wish for his memory to disappear along with his body.

But as a friend, he says he knew â&#x20AC;&#x153;no one hates Omar more than Omar.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I make no excuses for his behavior when he was shit-faced drunk,â&#x20AC;? Collerd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he was one of the most complex people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever met and a friend. I wish he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause himself and so many others such pain. When he sobered up, I believe his guilt was crippling.â&#x20AC;?

Omar was born in 1966 in a Parisian suburb to a family of Moroccan-Berber descent. He had seven brothers and sisters. He came to the United States in 1991 through a work visa, according to his friend Aziz Akabouche, and he lived in New York City and Seattle before arriving in Philly in the early 2000s. He never owned a house or held a steady job, and relied on donations to dress himself in thrift store clothing and drink himself to sleep at night. Q TWITTER: @MAXMMARIN 3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20

Outside of Masterman School, PA Rep. Brian Sims talks about the cloud created by an ethics investigation.

Political hit job?

BY MAX MARIN

Ideally, students running laps around the block on a humid Friday morning would be nothing more than exercise. On this early June day in Philadelphia, however, Masterman School is raising money for its extracurricular activities through a charity run. While other pols make their appearances in suits, state Rep. Brian Sims is sprinting in a sponsored T-shirt.

He ďŹ nishes 10 miles of laps and segues right into talking a mile a minute.

The scenario is a perfect backdrop for delving into the Philadelphia school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bleak ďŹ scal future. At the mo -81(

State legislator and nationally recognized LGBT rights advocate Brian Sims opens up about ongoing ethics investigation

ment, though, Sims has his own money problems â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or rather, the suspicion of money problems stoked last month by news of a state ethics investigation into his travel reimbursements and speaking fees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy from the topic when asked.

Sims says it was a hit job. The way he tells it, an unspeciďŹ ed political enemy ďŹ led a complaint with the State Ethics Commission and then leaked the conďŹ dential letter from the commission regarding the investigation to the Philadelphia Gay News.

Lest we forget, Sims has rufďŹ&#x201A;ed a few feathers during his ďŹ ve years in ofďŹ ce. Af-

ter ousting a 14-term incumbent to take ofďŹ ce, he has also endorsed non-party backed candidates and once accused a former veteran House colleague of constantly â&#x20AC;&#x153;being lost in the bathroomâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;arguing with plants.â&#x20AC;? Then, last year, Sims faced three Democratic challengers and was re-elected over former House aide Ben Waxman by just 5 percent of the vote.

But Sims isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t naming any names. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the cost of politics in a city like Philadelphia,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can still be really angry about it. It feels very Machiavellian. This was done to hit me where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m strongest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m strongest

in my ethics.â&#x20AC;?

Addressing his supporters, Sims says there is absolutely nothing to worry about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only criminal part about all of this is the actual leaking of the contents of an ethics investigation,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Asked about the heightened national conversation surrounding leakers vs. the information they provide to a public that would otherwise be unaware of its existence, Sims clariďŹ ed that this instance has a local context: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The person who leaked this ďŹ led (the complaint) so that they could then leak it.â&#x20AC;?

But in a city where elected ofďŹ cials are regularly besieged by corruption-related charges of all levels, the three-term legislator knows the danger posed by even a small ethical cloud â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially given his expected political trajectory.

Sims boasts an enormous national reputation compared to his Harrisburg colleagues. He entered the public eye in 2000 when he came out at Bloomsburg University as the ďŹ rst openly gay football captain in NCAA history. He further built upon his bona ďŹ des through years of LGBT civil rights advocacy and, in 2012, he became the ďŹ rst openly gay state legislator (â&#x20AC;&#x153;openâ&#x20AC;? being the operative word, he adds with a smile) in Pennsylvania history. He has 217,288 followers on Facebook. He boasts political donors from all 50 states. The cumulative effect of this appeal isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always positive: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It draws enemies,â&#x20AC;? Sims says reluctantly.

But it also draws him money on the side.

The ethics complaint and subsequent investigation follow a City&State PA report from last year exploring Simsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dubious travel expenses and honoraria, which included globe-trotting charity excursions and speaking gigs spanning from Michigan to Tel Aviv to Mt. Kilimanjaro. Since that story, Sims has revised his ďŹ nancial disclosure statements to include thousands of dollars in previously unreported travel reimbursements from corporate giants such as Microsoft, all the while maintaining he has received express approval for all of his outside work.

Sims earns $86,479 a year as a legislator â&#x20AC;&#x201D; far less than he would make in a law ďŹ rm setting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for state representatives to hold outside employment, and Sims has maintained his speaking fees, which total more than $42,000 since 2012, are not considered honoraria due to the fact he was a professional lecturer on LGBT advocacy prior to taking ofďŹ ce, even if he prominently 3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20

Over 40 productions are scheduled to showcase at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SoLow Festival.

On the LOW Inspiration and the arts collide as SoLow, Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mini-theater fest returns

BY A.D. AMOROSI

W

hen performance artiststurned-administrators Meredith Sonnen, Chris Davis, Lena Barnard, and Lauren Tracy took over the tiny theater SoLow Fest in 2015 from previous organizers Thomas Choinacky and Amanda Grove, their ďŹ rst intention was to keep it ďŹ&#x201A;eet, lean and mean.

The ďŹ&#x201A;oating-venue, DIY, micro-theater festival was packed with shows with small casts (one or two people) in small rooms (often the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own homes or cars) and big ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greatest thing anyone ever tells me about SoLow is that is that it made them get inspired to make something new,â&#x20AC;? says SoLow showrunner Sonnen who, until December 2016 worked as a director at FringeArts for the better part of the a decade (she still works with FringeArts on speciďŹ c projects and â&#x20AC;&#x153;am in the biergarten with the staff regularlyâ&#x20AC;?).

Blurring the lines between dance, theater, spoken word, music, improvisation and other genres, SoLow Fest shows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with audiences frequently full of fellow young performing artists supporting their friends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a form of shared experimentation, a series of challenges where each side of the artist/audience equation is tested â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even erased.

-81(

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dream for the festival is that SoLow artists inspire each other and audiences to make even more experimental art and to throw all the rules out,â&#x20AC;? says Sonnen, who claims there is no curatorial vision for SoLow (â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyone who wants to produce in SoLow can and everyone who wants to see a SoLow show can.â&#x20AC;?

Especially as admission is pay-what-youcan). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes we think performance has to have a stage, controlled lighting, complicated sets or lots of characters, but SoLow lets you strip all that down and start from the beginning,â&#x20AC;? says Sonnen.

SoLow Fest shows only need one thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require anything other than the performance,â&#x20AC;? Sonnen says.

Every other layer or accoutrement is superďŹ&#x201A;uous.

Currently 40 productions in 44 places on different nights (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure we will get a couple more this week, maybe lose oneâ&#x20AC;?) means more than 200 SoLow individual performances in 11 days with three outside walking shows, many in houses, two in theater spaces, some in ofďŹ ces, the basement of a church, art galleries, bars and such. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ rst show I ever saw in SoLow, the audience sat in the backseat of a car and watched the driver and a passenger,â&#x20AC;? says Sonnen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It

was amazing.â&#x20AC;?

The overarching theme for 2017â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SoLow is Fight or Flight, and the election deďŹ nitely pushed its brain-trust in that direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to say that the fest this year doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem more political than usual. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had people do shows about politics. This year also has joyful shows about taking in your surroundings and soaking it up in the moment,â&#x20AC;? said Sonnen.

Though impossible to break down 40plus shows about the human condition in all its wack glory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Art of Losing, Christine Freije, Hannah van Sciver and Emily Fernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piece about grief, or Weights and Measures by C. Kennedy about this cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obsession with categorization â&#x20AC;&#x201C; several intimate SoLow productions bathe in the glory of sound and music.

Performance artist-actress Jess Conda and her Cinematic Human â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a one-woman show written by Conda, but urged to fruition by fellow daring theater locals.

Chris Davis and Mary Tuomanen after what she says was many beers and much discussion of such â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ďŹ nds the BRAT Productions boss doing her ďŹ rst solo production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show is a blend of rock and storytelling, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100 percent me as the only speaker; all Conda, all the time, with nowhere for me to hide,â&#x20AC;? states the actress.

With â&#x20AC;&#x153;badassâ&#x20AC;? electric cellist Rachel Icenogle and sound design wizard Chris Sannino, Conda found herself inspired by the likes of Stew and Cynthia Hopkins, â&#x20AC;&#x153;performers able to share music while coming in-and-out of presenting heightened version of themselves. The music Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written is kind of like Dresden Dolls meets Peaches. In the show, I take turns playing myself, a minor character from Crime and Punishment named Katerina, and channeling a beastly electropop energy that is an incantation for both Jess and Katerina to change their lives,â&#x20AC;? said Conda.

As one who runs her own theater company, Conda appreciates SoLowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative/marketing powers and artist support; so much so that BRAT, SoLow and writer James Haro, (he has a show, Post-April) will co-produce his production and share performance space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re drawing on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy pretty evenly,â&#x20AC;? says Conda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These days, small companies absolutely cannot get work produced without embracing creative thinking about joining of forces

with artists and institutions. This kind of model holds off burn out and hopefully leaves more time for us to prioritize our artistic work. It takes a freaking village, yo, for real.â&#x20AC;?

Percussionist, composer and Settlement Music teacher Andy Thierauf fashioned his show, Kitchen Music, as a soundscape of making chocolate chip cookies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You experience it together with him and then you get to eat the cookies he made,â&#x20AC;? says Sonnen, enthusiastic about the baked results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like bringing ordinary/everyday objects and actions into a performance setting,â&#x20AC;? says Thierauf, who often improvises musically with metal bowls, ďŹ&#x201A;ower pots, pipes, and other non-traditional instruments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to take that further.

By using a microphone, I bring out the quieter sounds and explore textures of the ingredients,â&#x20AC;? says the percussionist.

Thierauf also wanted to make a piece that included the sense of smell, which is closely connected to our emotional memory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but could be wrong â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the scent of chocolate chip cookies baking will have a familiarity and may stir memories/emotions for most or at least some of the audience. I also like the idea that cookies are completely devoid of nutritional value yet comforting.â&#x20AC;?

One thing that Sonnen and I have found, in regard to SoLow artists and audiences, is that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so far â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they tend to run young. Sonnen puts that down to the avant-garde aspects of what the festival most proposes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Experimenting often attracts young audiences and young artists,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to say I love seeing an older established theater lover or theater artist attending and making work for SoLow though. Sometimes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know a performer or a director for years in the circuit and get totally blown away by what they put up in SoLow. It allows people to break the molds that have been built around them in a really beautiful way. I also think younger people are a little more willing to meet a stranger on a street corner for a show that sounds insane,â&#x20AC;? she laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;NaivetĂŠ or brilliance of youth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whatever the cause, they come.â&#x20AC;?

Rabbi Ari Lev Fornari, the head of Kol Tzedek Synagogue in West Philadelphia.

Reconstructing Religion How one trans rabbi redesigned gender roles in the Jewish faith

TIMAREE SCHMIT

H

ebrew is a gendered language; almost every noun is grammatically either masculine or feminine. This makes things interesting for Reconstructionist Judaism, a liberal movement within the religion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So how do we wrestle with gender inclusion and trans inclusion?â&#x20AC;? asks Rabbi Ari Lev Fornari, recently appointed head of Kol Tzedek, a small West Philadelphia Reconstructionist synagogue, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The smallest example would be: traditionally in Hebrew your name would be your ďŹ rst name and then â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;son ofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;daughter -81(

ofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; your parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names. One of the trans innovations is: we could be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the child ofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;from the house of.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We did a name change ritual about two weeks ago for someone in the community who wanted to take on a gender-neutral version of their Hebrew name.â&#x20AC;?

Fornari is accustomed to talking about these things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing with gender but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tension there,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but some of that is because they hired this out trans, genderqueer rabbi, right?â&#x20AC;?

The rabbi, aged 34, originally from New York, the parent to two young kids, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exactly how many other trans or queer rabbis there are today, though he can say he knows about a dozen who are out as trans, a few who are stealth (their trans identity is not known to the community at large), and several trans people who are in the process of graduating from rabbinical school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living in a mo-

ment where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to be a swell of queer and trans religious leaders and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be exciting to see how religions change and how religious communities are empowered in response to that.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only been since August that Rabbi Fornari took his post, yet he has already established himself as a leader among an ever-growing ďŹ&#x201A;ock interested in ďŹ nding a modern spiritual community â&#x20AC;&#x153;grounded in the wisdom of ancient texts.â&#x20AC;? In February, Fornari had to grapple with anti-Semitic cemetery desecrations in Philadelphia, as nearly 500 Jewish gravestones were damaged in a string of incidents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another cemetery was desecrated just last week,â&#x20AC;? he adds. Asked whether this signals a trend, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there have always been white supremacist groups, but lately they have been emboldened to act out on their hatred. It is relatively new that they feel license to be public about it.â&#x20AC;? Though, he notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

that long ago that Jews and Blacks were subjected to segregation.â&#x20AC;?

While the vandalism is a troubling violation, Fornari notes optimistically these were not assaults against living persons and the response has largely been positive: communities of faith coming together and an increased interest in membership.

Similarly, after the election, he says there was a lot of anxiety and desire to ďŹ nd â&#x20AC;&#x153;refuge in reclaiming spiritual autonomy,â&#x20AC;? adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you realize that those in power do not represent us, and are, in fact, targeting us, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an appeal to ďŹ nding our collective power.â&#x20AC;?

The rabbi speaks of collaboration with other religions as though they are neighbors, rather than competing brands. His synagogue, Kol Tzedek (which means â&#x20AC;&#x153;voice of justiceâ&#x20AC;?) shares a space at 48th and Baltimore with three churches and a mosque. He is also involved in a queer interfaith group, Sacred Justice. Differing factions join in solidarity not only over hateful attacks, but also in moments of celebration. He mentions weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering Ramadan and his plans to collaborate on an Iftar, the meal eaten after the sun sets during this Muslim holy month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Judaism doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist to oppress people,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;religion is supposed to push us toward justice, humility and kindness. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the image of a tree of life, constantly evolving.â&#x20AC;? What of the scriptures that appear to decry homosexuality and uphold patriarchy? Fornari says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Torah is meant to be interpreted and reinterpreted; there is no static meaning.â&#x20AC;?

He points to Leviticus 18, a chapter that lays out unlawful sexual relations and is often cited as the textual support for opposition to gay rights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one idea, there are lots of ideas we could choose to emphasize. Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we focus as much on Leviticus 19?â&#x20AC;? adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;if we are to say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to love your neighbor as yourself and that we are each made in the divine image, why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that idea trump the other ones?â&#x20AC;?

Asked about Pride festivities, Fornari says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel connected to them personally, noting they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any particular plans to celebrate at Kol Tzedek, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which might be a product of it just being so deeply in the water.â&#x20AC;? He mentions Pride has largely been co-opted by corporations but he likes the concept. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we feel glorious about who we are as people, in a way that is both authentic and counter to what mainstream culture tells us, that feels like the project of anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner life.â&#x20AC;?

Some who identify as bisexual feel lost as it pertains to their place in the LGBT spectrum.

Where loyalties Pride Has the bisexual role in the LGBTQ spectrum gone lost?

TIMAREE SCHMIT

M

aybe Pride isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;forâ&#x20AC;? bisexual people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a safe space to be themselves in a world where they often pass for straight. But maybe bisexuals arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking for a safe space: theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for visibility. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undeniably better to not fear losing your job or being beaten (though that reality may be different for bi-men, compared to bi-women), but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not great to have your identity erased either.

-81(

Gay Pride today is largely a corporate event, like a rainbow-bedecked Fall Fest. This is a far cry from its origins as a guerilla political response to violent police oppression. Now uniformed officers stand by as security while multinational banks give out free pens to drunk people.

Within the LGBT spectrum, bisexuals comprise nearly half of the population, yet their representation is often mixed in to the point of inconspicuousness. Bisexuals often report not feeling a part of the queer community, some specifically mentioning that Pride festivities arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t welcoming.

When prompted to share their experiences, a variety of bi and pan-identified people (overwhelmingly women) responded with variations on the same theme:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve historically dated mostly men, but I have a pretty queer lifestyle. I tend to be pretty vocal about my queerness and my relationship with the LGBTQ community in general, which has often been met with a lot of criticism. Because my long-term partner is a straight man, a lot of folks in the community view my participation in queer events and spaces as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;straight tourism.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And because I understand that being with a man lends me a certain privilege of being able to ďŹ&#x201A;y under the radar and not appear to be queer, I struggle a lot with feeling â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not queer enough.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Being queer and in a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;straightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; relationship is a constant tug of war between the part of me that demands to have my identity validated and the part that wants to mind my privilege. I know these two parts can coexist in harmony, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a balancing act and my relationship with my sexuality and with the LGBTQ community can be a bit complicated as a result.â&#x20AC;?

Thain Wood â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I show up with a female partner, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re generally heckled for being the Lilith Fair contingent if we have long hair. If I show up with a male partner, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re generally heckled for being tourists. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve pretty much stopped going unless Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working a charity booth or helping someone speciďŹ cally.â&#x20AC;?

Rebecca Hiles

experience the effects of marginalization â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as mental illness and substance abuse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at similar rates. This may be related to the fact bisexuals, especially males, are far less likely to come out than their gay counterparts. According to a 2013 Pew study, â&#x20AC;&#x153;only 28 percent of bisexuals say all or most of the important people in their life know they are bisexual.

By comparison, 77 percent of gay men and 71 percent of lesbians say the important people in their life know about their sexual orientation.â&#x20AC;?

All of this is rapidly changing. The younger the survey participants, the less likely they will identify as exclusively straight or gay. Among millennials, around a quarter identify as bi or outside the binary and among the 13-20 year-old respondents, the rate rises to nearly a third.

Bisexuality isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a halfway point, a combination of being straight and gay; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wholly unique identity. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not chocolate and vanilla swirl ice cream: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strawberry.

For gay and straight people, gender and sexual anatomy can make or break the potential of a romantic relationship. These orientations are monosexual: exclusively interested in one gender.

For people who identify as bisexual, pansexual, or other nonmonosexual orientations, gender is one of the least important variables in attraction and love.

At minimum, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a deal breaker.

Many of the traditions associated with Gay Pride can be attributed to a woman named Brenda Howard, who coordinated the ďŹ rst march and a week of related events. She suggested the month of June be chosen as a way of commemorating 1969 Stonewall Riots, on June 28, a watershed moment in gay rights history. And she helped popularize the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prideâ&#x20AC;? to refer to these festivities. She was a sex positive feminist and polyamorist involved in BDSM and, interestingly enough: bisexual. Q

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year an article goes around about how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not wanted at pride events if I have a het relationship. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not straight, my dudely partner isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t straight.

I so often feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not queer enoughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to be a part of the LGBT community as a whole because somehow (in spite of the fact that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m non-monogamous), I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist as queer anymore because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;choosingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to appear straight.â&#x20AC;?

The Bearded Ladies, the dangerous, daring Jarboe-created cabaret troupe, has had a manic 2017: Color Me Bearded at Philadelphia Museum of Art, a second production of Andy: a Popera in Seattle (a collaboration with Opera Philadelphia in dedication to Warhol), Bastille

Day in front of Easter State Penitentiary, Mommie Queerest (Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drag opera with John and Dito Van Reigersberg) and a revival of Marlene and the Machine at Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pub on June 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bearded work is live, here, now; uses pleasure as a weapon makes you laugh till you hurt and leaves you humming along to the questions inside our head,â&#x20AC;? says Jarboe, considering too his next mega-Beard event: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Poison Cookie Jarâ&#x20AC;? in collaboration with FringeArts and Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pub â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a piece about the cabaret form that lives as a live performance installation as well as a virtual art piece. Jarboe even knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next. After Poison Cookie Jar, Jarboe will focus on a new piece using gentle childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s television icon Mr. Rogersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; music about the death of irony.

Jarboeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work outside his Beards is no less provocative and pro-active: a part in director Mary Tuonamenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent adventure, Peaceable Kingdom, a mass of work for the Walnut Street Theatre (A Christmas Carol, Love Story, Vincent In Brixton, Arsenic & Old Lace), Cock at Theatre Exile and teaming with Stephanie Blythe and Dito Van Reigersberg on Dito and Aeneas: Two Queens One Night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest questions I ask of other artists are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;why this-why now-why here?â&#x20AC;? says Jarboe, who insists upon thoughtfulness, social consciousness, humor, leadership, good process and vision in collaborators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I only want to work with people who are chewing on these questions.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also interested in earnestness, transformation and sing-a-longs right now. Irony is dead.â&#x20AC;?

Few artists could get away with such a impertinent pronouncement. Yet ever since arriving in Philadelphia from the Midwest in 2008, Jarboe has made provocation his calling card with an always daringly incendiary brand of queer cabaret whose caginess reaches into everything he does â&#x20AC;&#x201C; be it opera (Andy) or new music (Bearded Ballerina). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more socially con-

scious, more of an activist/artist,â&#x20AC;? says Jarboe, of the differences for the Midwestern Jarboe and the 2017 Philadelphia version. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I value community more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Philly taught me this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I have a better sense of my own limitations.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not, for example, going to be a synchronized swimmer or a neuropsychologist any time soon (both former dreams of mine).

I also have a better sense of my worth as an artist and the worth of my community and I am able to advocate for proper pay and treatment and help others do the same.â&#x20AC;?

It should be noted here that Jarboe does LGBTQ volunteer work, informally with William Way, and more formally for and with Attic Youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teenage years can be some of the hardest for queer people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they were for me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it feels good to give back a bit. Though, honestly I learn more from Attic Youth than they do from me. They are brilliant.â&#x20AC;?

But, with an ever-increasingly rigorous schedule, does Jarboe have the time to pitch in and help his LGBTQ brothers and sisters? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time is my most coveted resource,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is about making time. (Plus) I look for a lot in learning from the activist communities here in Philly as well. How can my skills and our skills as Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artist community serve their needs?â&#x20AC;?

This week, Jarboe is focusing (as much as he can with all those gigs) on serving the needs of Allen, the Relache crew and the MĂźtter, a museum he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often frequent as someone with a weak stomach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rebecca Kanach and I are responding to Heathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work as the lead on this project, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really honored to be performing his music and with Relache. It thrills me how many different ways weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve collaborated in the past.

And we are still standing.â&#x20AC;?

As for Jarboeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held dear since before arriving in Philadelphia as a young, fresh-faced gentleman anxious to get scruffy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No regrets.â&#x20AC;? Q TWITTER: @ADAMOROSI -81(

Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disability Pride Parade is the perfect preview party to Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main Pride event.

Pride aplenty A quick look forward to a jam-packed celebration of all things Pride

BY ANDREA CANTOR

T

he revelry that comes with Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual LGBT Pride month includes singing, dancing and more that culminates in the 29th annual festival on June 18. However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the relatively lesser known, and separate entity, the sixth annual Disability Pride Philadelphia, that will have its day of jubilation a day before, on June 17.

While the two parades are separate events, the dates arrive both in the midst of a seemingly unfavorable political era to both LGBT+ and disabled communities. A reality that is in stark contrast to just two years ago when the LGBT+ community celebrated the Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to legalize gay marriage nationwide.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disability parade happens during the height of the efforts by the Trump administration to replace the Affordable Care Act former President Barack Obama signed into law seven years ago. One of the ACAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s measures protects the disabled community from discrimination by insurance companies for pre-existing conditions. But even in this face of uncertainty, Pride for both parties must wage on.

-81(

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a day of celebration of who we are. That is what PrideDay is in Philadelphia,â&#x20AC;? said Franny Price, executive director of Philly Pride, the organization that coordinates LGBT PrideDay, the parade and festival in June, and Outfest, the national coming out day block party, in October.

The disability parade will commence at 10 a.m. with opening ceremonies at the National Constitution Center. Speeches will include Yoshiko Dart, widow of Justin Dart, a major advocate for the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. At 11 a.m., the parade will makes it way to City Hall, where a free concert will begin at Dilworth Park. Philly band â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zap Goes Pop!â&#x20AC;? will be the opening act.

Price acknowledged the change in political tides, but said â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is always a reasonâ&#x20AC;? for people to come out for PrideDay, which as of June 10 noted 214 partnering organizations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year is important, as an elder and a leader, every year is special to those who are just coming out,â&#x20AC;? Price explained.

The LGBT+ parade will start at 11:30 a.m. on 13th and Locust, the heart of Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designated Gayborhood, and end at the Great Plaza at Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing, where it will conclude in a

festival. Megan Mullally, the actress of the gay television phenomenon â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will & Grace,â&#x20AC;? will be the headlining act at the Festival with her band, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nancy and Beth.â&#x20AC;?

For Vicki Landers, co-director of Disability Pride Philadelphia, the political climate is exactly â&#x20AC;&#x153;why it is so importantâ&#x20AC;? to come to the disability parade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need our community to come together,â&#x20AC;? said Landers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a celebration. So we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put up [demands]. But we want everyone who gets out to get the information and join the ďŹ ght.â&#x20AC;? Both parades will have information tables covering the gamut of related concerns and services.

Landers explained that the timing of the two parades was coincidental, noting the major reason for the chosen date is students will be able to participate since school will be out for summer break. The disability organization also picked mid-June, because the temperate weather is more accessible for people with certain types of disabilities.

The organizers have tried to preďŹ gure different types of accommodations for the parade, such as walking at a slower pace. SEPTA provided free passes for people who are unable to walk the paradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distance so they can take buses and meet up with the crowd at City Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year we are trying to ďŹ gure out more and more ways to get everyone to participate,â&#x20AC;? said Landers, who is also disabled.

Even though the two organizations are not coordinating with each other, Price and Landers voiced an eagerness to do so in the future. Price explained that PrideDay was going to list the disability parade in their guide, but due to miscommunication, it did not happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are two separate organizations, but we have similar communities,â&#x20AC;? said Landers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the LGBTQ community within disability pride.â&#x20AC;? The disability paradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concluding concert includes genderqueer and disabled activist from the United Kingdom, Dennis Queen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you just want to have fun and celebrate being out and proud, then Philadelphia is the place to be for Pride,â&#x20AC;? Price said. Q

he ďŹ rst of two dollar strolls along West Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main avenue returns as both businesses and vendors alike will be out and on display for what is always a great evening down Baltimore Avenue.

Enjoy food, drinks and whatever else you can think of for just $1 along nine blocks of Baltimore Avenue, from 43rd to 52nd Streets. There will also be street performers for the kids and a ton of great street art in addition to live music on each block.

Some of the featured tastes you can sample for just $1 are the shrimp and grits from Amariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant, two-for-one popsicles (which will come in handy during this heat wave), assorted toys and treats from Baltimore Pet Shoppe, plant starters from Greensgrow West, frozen banana whips from Mariposa Food and Co-Op and seven-ounce beers with a keepsake glass from Dock Street Brewery.

All of the above is just a small sampling of the vendors scheduled to take part in this annual tradition. Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make this installment? All good, as the University City District already has another one planned, but not until Sept. 7.

THE BACKSTORY

Opinion: Bill Cosby and the high cost of presumed innocence

BY CHANDRA BOZELKO

A

s Bill Cosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trial progresses and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s represented by a high-powered, expensive legal team, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tempting to think money is the former comedianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real edge in the contest to convict him of indecent assault.

But, as someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been criminally tried twice, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s naĂŻve to think that Cosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantage is limited to the Benjamins. Because they have public narratives already before the triers of fact, the advantage a celebrity defendant has is a platform that makes the presumption of innocence stronger for them than others.

The presumption of innocence is applied to every defendant, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true only in theory. When I was being tried on larceny charges, my attorney asked potential jurors: â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a scale of one to 10, with one being completely innocent and 10 being completely guilty, what num-

ber is my client today?â&#x20AC;?

I myself thought â&#x20AC;&#x153;5.â&#x20AC;? But I was wrong; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a one throughout your trial. I forgot was I still innocent. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply the presumption to myself.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just me. The presumption of innocence has been eroding for decades. A study conducted in 1976 of jurors who were summoned but not picked for a jury found that 82.6 percent of them did not understand that a defendant was under no obligation to prove his innocence, after they were provided video instruction on the presumption of innocence.

Among jurors who heard evidence during a trial, only 24.3 percent strongly agreed with the statement â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believed throughout the entire trial that the defendant was presumed innocent.â&#x20AC;?

We could explain these frightening misapprehensions of the bedrock of criminal justice as the mistakes of non-experts. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re less trained

and supposedly less temperate than judges and lawyers. But even legally trained people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t internalize the presumption of innocence the way it needs to be for the system to function properly.

When court ofďŹ cials changed the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defendantâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bad Guyâ&#x20AC;? on a witness sign-in sheet in a San Francisco court last year, judges and others explained it as a joke, but both the act and its justiďŹ cation were revelatory. Even courts assume criminal defendants are guilty, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be more objective than layperson jurors.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entirely possible that no one whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved with deciding his fate can even conceive the average criminal defendant is innocent before heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the prejudice I had to face. But Cosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status is different than mine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a celebrity like O.J. Simpson. The jurors in People v. O.J. Simpson acquitted the Heisman winner, not because they thought he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commit the crimes

charged, but because they thought the evidence against him hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome the presumption of innocence, a presumption so few juries behold for other more average defendants, as the empirical research shows.

Cosby has paraded celluloid wholesomeness before millions of people for decades. And because he was so well known, he scored an interview with SiriusXM and CNN host Michael Smerconish recently after a twoyear media blackout. In the interview, Cosby injected a motivation for his prosecution into the pretrial buzz â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his race â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that undoubtedly reached some jurorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ears before they were sequestered. No national news outlet would have interviewed me before my trials.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever sat in a defendantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair, you probably concur with my estimate that 65 percent of criminal defense is getting a narrative in the media to inoculate a jury against the typical presumption of guilt. I bet celebrity defendant-turned-prisoner Phil Spector agrees; he ďŹ red former Dream Team-er Robert Shapiro because he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell news crews that a Simpson-style acquittal for the music mogul was guaranteed when he was charged with murder.

Emphasis on money in justice isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t limited to Cosby.

Whenever we talk about lopsided, two-tiered justice systems in the United States, we invariably reduce the discussion to poverty and wealth. As many as 85 percent of defendants canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford a lawyer at all, much less high-caliber ones such as Cosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

The problem isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just that most defendants canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford lawyers, but that those court-appointed public defenders are so overburdened with excessive caseloads that fashioning a narrative in the press prior to trial isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feasible. Because most news accounts are simply regurgitations of arrest warrants, few jurors hear in the media itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even possible the person whose fate theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deciding may be innocent. If they could, the rich-poor gap in criminal justice might start to inch closed.

Of course, facts outside the courtroom arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to factor into a juryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision but we know they do, more so in high-proďŹ le trials. And money can hire publicists to spin things so wealth will always be an advantage for a defendant. Even if it is feasible for an overworked public defender to dictate the public narrative on his clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, some public defenders are partially censored in what they can say to the press. For instance, in New Jersey, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unable to comment on law enforcement, judges, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inďŹ&#x201A;uence in courthouses will never totally evaporate.

But money isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the sole factor that imbalances our justice system, as people make it out to be. Instead, that factor is platform â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the ability of some defendants to make the case for their innocence before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually required to defend themselves. Q

SAVAGE LOVE:

Virgin Territory DAN SAVAGE Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m almost 30 and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a virgin. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an overweight, straight-ish guy (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m attracted to a few men, but those cases are exceedingly rare). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also gone through an absolute hell life thus far, losing a testicle to cancer and having an abusive father who threatened a teenage me into celibacy by invoking the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;penile lobotomyâ&#x20AC;? should I have sex with any girlfriends. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve barely dated in 10 years, and while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m free from my father and the aforementioned mortal dick terror, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also INCREDIBLY scared about putting myself out there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m disabled, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not conventionally attractive by most standards, my whole zone down there is scarred up from surgeries, and, to top it all off, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the small side. The last time I had the opportunity for sex, I went for it, but I was so terriďŹ ed that I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep it up. The woman I was with said something to the effect of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything with that, now can I?â&#x20AC;? after which I asked her to leave because, seriously, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of an asshole thing to say. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m notionally on Tinder and Bumble, but I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and more often than not, I feel like the right thing for any theoretical partners would be for me to just stay in hiding and not inďŹ&#x201A;ict my grotesque presence on them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m scared of another humiliation, as thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most deďŹ nitely not my kink, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at an age where my complete lack of experience and physical deformity are (I would have to imagine) major issues for anyone I might encounter. I truly want romance, sexuality, and companionship in my life. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fought through poverty, disability, physical and emotional abuse, and my genitalia trying to kill me to stay entombed in my ofďŹ ce alone and unloved. I just do not know where to even begin. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;The Virgin Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Been Fucked A Whole Lot Just Never In The Good Way 3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20

Off the top of my headâ&#x20AC;Ś Hire a sex worker. It will allow you to separate your anxieties about ďŹ nding romance and companionship from your anxieties about being sexually inexperienced. A kind, indulgent, competent sex worker can relieve you of your virginity and help restoreâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or instillâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;conďŹ dence in your dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to get and stay hard in the presence of another human being. Be totally honest about your inexperience and your concerns. If you get the sense during negotiationsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which should be brief and to the pointâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that the woman youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking to is impatient or uncaring, thank her for her time and start over. There are kind, caring, compassionate sex workers out there. Presumably youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a computer in your ofďŹ ce, TVWBFAWLJNITGW. Use it to ďŹ nd one.

Get over those scars. I had a boyfriend a long time ago who had signiďŹ cant scarring on his balls and taint. He was a farm boy (sigh), and he fell on a piece of farm machinery and wound up straddling a scalding-hot pipe. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how that worked exactly, because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know from farm machinery, but the pipe burned through his jeans and left thirddegree burns on his balls, taint, and upper-upper thigh. Ten years later, we started going outâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and guess what? I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice his scars. And not for want of opportunity: He was my ďŹ rst serious boyfriend, and I spent the better part of three months with my face in his crotch. The scars that were so obvious to him and left him feeling self-conscious about his genitals? They were invisible to me until he needlessly apologized for them. Genitals are a jumble of ďŹ&#x201A;esh and folds and hairs and colors and bits and pieces and sometimes scars, TVWBFAWLJNITGW. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried your scarring is noticeable, mention that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a cancer survivor and lost a ball but gained a sick (as in cool) scar.

Good luck, TVWBFAWLJNITGW. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rooting for you. Q

SHERIFFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SALE Properties

to

be

sold

by

JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff on Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at

First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, at 9:00 AM. (EST) Conditions of Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sale for JUDICIAL/FORECLOSURE SALE Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in certified check, attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price.

Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by certified check, attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s check or money order with the Sheriff. Â The Sheriff reserves the right to reject any certified check, attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s check or money order that on its face has an expired use date and is presented for payment of the deposit.

The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in certified check, attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale.

An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale.

The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be set by the City of Philadelphia. In no event will the successful bidder be allowed to settle on the property unless all the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs are paid notwithstanding the final bid.

The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will

be applied to the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly. No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of  certified checks, attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s checks or money orders made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County. The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudulent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the Sheriff Sale.

Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine. The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale. All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful biddersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale. Prospective purchasers are directed to the Web site of the Philadelphia Bureau of Revision of Taxes, (BRT) brtweb. phila.gov for a fuller description of the properties listed.

Properties can be looked up by the BRT number â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which should be cross checked with the address. Prospective purchasers are also directed to the Room 154 City Hall, 215686-1483 and to its website philadox.phila.gov and to its website at http://philadox.phila.gov where they can view the deed to each individual property and find the boundaries of the property. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE NATURE, LOCATION, CONDITION AND BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTIES THEY SEEK TO PURCHASE. The BRT # refers to a unique number assigned by the City Bureau of Revision of Taxes to each property in the City for the purpose of assessing it for taxes. This number can be used to obtain descriptive information about the property from the BRT website. Effective Date: July 7, 2006Â Â NOTICE OF SCHEDULEÂ OF DISTRIBUTIONÂ The Sheriff will file in his office, The Land Title Building, 100 South Broad Street, 5th Floor, a Schedule of Distribu-

tion Thirty (30) Days from the date of the sale of Real Estate.

Distribution will be made in accordance with the Schedule unless exceptions are filed thereto within ten (10) days thereafter. The name first appearing in each notice is that of the defendant in the writ whose property is being sold. All Writs are Writs of Executions. The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ. Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions.

Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales conducted by him. Very truly yours, JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff City and County of Philadelphia
