HOROSCOPE
Are you getting tired of all the changes
that have been transpiring? Well, relax
because it will hit its peak this month
with that nasty Mercury retrograde
going direct on the 9th, and the Void
of Course New Moon on the 14th; we’ll
be on the down slide. However, it’ll
feel like it’s not going fast enough for
you when Venus-conjunct-Saturn goes
retrograde on the 27th and the full moon
arrives on the 29th. Relax; this is not a
time for urgency. All will be done in its
right time and will be to the benefit of
all in the greater scheme of life.
Aries March 23 - April 22 Your social
skills are coming out this month. Whether
it’s throwing a social event or planning a
business meeting, you’ll be the one in the
spotlight. Use it to your advantage. You’ll
find new opportunities that will be to your
benefit in both business and your personal
lives.
normal group for support and be open to
the unique or different; you’ll be surprised
at the results. This is a time to change your
normal routine. Go with the flow and see
where it all lands.
Leo July 23 – August 22 You are now in
the final phase of the restrictions that have
been placed upon you. Slow and steady
wins the race. This is not the time to be
the leader, but to find your path within the
masses. Don’t forget to take some time to
allow the child within to come out and play.
This will be your refuge.
Virgo August 23 – September 22 This is
a month to physically build and grow. The
first of the month is your planning stage.
After the Void of Course full moon on the
14th, start to physically make it happen.
Don’t worry if things don’t go the way you
Taurus April 23 – May 22 You’ll be
balancing responsibilities and opportunities
this month. Try not to let one win over the
other. With the Mercury retrograde on the
9th you’ll have to take more time than what
you had planned to accomplish your tasks.
Relax, you’ll catch up. Your life is making a
change and there’s no hiding. Know it’s all
for the better.
Gemini May 23 – June 22 Now aren’t
you glad June is over! Finally you have a
chance to breathe again. Life is slowing
down and giving you the opportunity to do
a little research or catch up on some things
you’ve set aside. A financial situation will
require your attention. Take your time
looking for the best solution.
Cancer June 23 – July 22 Happy Solar
Return! You’ll be looking for others to be
more responsible instead of you having
to carry the burden. Look outside your

along the way. Trust me; you’ll be happy
with the finished product.
abilities. Your success lies within keeping
to the path you’ve chose, even though you
may find it a little challenging right now.
Libra September 23 – October 22 You’re
more passionate and impatient than usual
right now, which helps you in making
decisions. You have a lot of choices this
month; however, don’t be hasty in deciding
on the first thing. Your time restrictions are
false and if you search for the right thing,
you’ll find it and have fewer regrets in the
future.
Aquarius January 23 – February 22 Finally
everything comes to a head the beginning
of this month. The sudden changes that
have taken place will come to an end.
Now is the time to put everything back into
place. However, you must go with the flow
and live in the moment. Things may not go
the way you’re anticipating, but they will
turn out right.
Scorpio October 23 – November 22
You’re keyword for this month is choice. It
may be a difficult path right now, picking
which is the lesser of two greater evils, but
you usually do best under pressure. The
New Moon on the 14th will guide you in
using your intuitive side to make the right
decision. Keep in mind the words “no fear”
and you’ll be guided in the right direction
even though it may not look like it at the
time.
Pisces February 23 – March 22 While
everyone else is getting caught up in the
changes that are going on now, you’re
settling into your peace and harmony. Your
clarity is high this month, so take note.
Know who your friends and supporters
are, and who is not. Allow what doesn’t
serve you to disappear and spend more
time enjoying the company of your true
friends.
Sagittarius November 23 – December 22
Make your plans before the New Moon on
the 14th and accomplish them after that,
especially in your personal life. You’re
learning how to follow through to the end
and that everything has its right time.
Listen to your friends and loved ones now,
but don’t come to a conclusion regarding
the circumstances until next month.
Capricorn December 23 – January 22
You’re at the halfway point in your year and
you find your head and heart in conflict.
Remember, this is the year for you to
succeed through your artistic and creative
For those who want to know: The planet
Mars rules our actions. If it is close enough
to the Earth or with a telescope, it appears
to be red. This is because it is ruled by the
first of the fire signs, Aries. Last month
Mars was in its natural sign Aries and it
brought us to be accident prone and gave
urgency to our life. This month our actions
become more grounded, because it’s now
in Taurus, which allows us to follow our
personal values and beliefs to achieve our
highest goals.

A nice crowd showed up at The Living Room to see the center and celebrate LGBT Pride Sunday of
Memorial Day weekend.
The Living Room hosted the first Brevard
Pride event over Memorial Day weekend
and about 70 people showed up –not a
bad turn out for a little parking lot picnic.
They’ve formed a committee to plan next
year’s event to ensure that it’s bigger and
better. The Living Room had a Gay
Cosmic Bowling benefit in June to help
pay their bills now that each month there’s
more and more activities at the center.

Spiritually Speaking
Closets are confining. Closets are dark. Closets
are meant for clothes, not people. Jesus speaks
of light and darkness in the Gospels. The light of
a lamp is not to be hidden, but placed where all
can see and benefit from the light. He compares
our eyes: ‘our ability to see and perceive light,’ as
the lamp of our being. If our eyes are healthy we
are full of light; if not, we are full of darkness.
The darkness of the closet can be ambiguous,
obscure, and oblivious. But, light is revealing,
hopeful, and enlightening. One cannot perceive
light unless they have eyes to see; and then if
there is light, they can see. Spiritually, light
represents God’s wisdom and knowledge,
and the eyes our capacity to spiritually discern
and understand God’s revelation. If our sight is
distorted, we cannot clearly see or understand
reality.
I am afraid we live in a world of darkness whose
vision is distorted and therefore blinded to social
justice, civilized tolerance, and commonsense
open-mindedness. The gay community has
struggled for thousands of years to survive
hatred, persecution, and capital punishment. We
continue to fight for our right to exist. We continue
to emerge from a closet-history of radicalism,
discrimination, and repulsion.
Consider the story Queen Esther; a closet queen
if ever there was one, but she was not lesbian,
she was Jewish living as an exile in a foreign
land. Esther lived in Persia along with many Jews
whose families had been taken captive in the
Babylonian captivity a hundred years earlier. By
the time of this story, Babylon, in turn, had been
conquered by the Persians. As an orphan, Esther
grew up in the home of her cousin Mordecai
until she won favor with the king and became
queen. Of course, all the while her true Jewish
identity was kept hidden. Hadassah was her real
name. But, like many, she assimilated into the
surrounding culture to avoid persecution.
One day, a plot was brought to Esther’s attention;
a plot intending to kill all the Jews in the empire.
When the news reached Esther, she knew the
stakes were high. She knew she had much to
lose by revealing her true identity. She would
risk her life and approach the king, an absolute
monarch, to inform him of this conspiracy, or the
lives of many innocents would be slaughtered.
She could have, in that moment of crisis continued
to hide. But, she publicly became one of her
14
people in order to save them. She had to come
out of her ‘closet’ of convenient concealment
to effect the redemption of her nation. Esther
proclaimed herself a part of her people, and in so
doing, she achieved wholeness and salvation for
herself and for countless others.
I see in the story of Queen Esther a call for
political action; a call that goes out to the gay
community— some who are still closeted, some
who are inactive, unvocal, non-supporting of their
own people. If we are to survive the persecution
and prejudices that threaten us, then we need to
unite in solidarity and pride. We must personally
identify with the oppressed, in order to bring
liberation and significance to light. We need
people of integrity and courage to stand up and
speak out.
Queen Esther came out of her closet— not of
sexual orientation— but of ethnic and religious
identity, for a noble cause: not of saving her
own skin, but of saving her entire people from
extermination. This is the stuff of true heroism
and courage. This is the true light that God shines
into our hearts to illumine all, not just a few.
The ‘lamp’ Jesus refers to that provides light is
a lamp of illumination, or as the Aramaic word
points to, a ‘visionary state’ in which our sense
of boundaries and consciousness are expanded
greatly. When will we all see that God’s light does
not exclude people from justice and mercy?
God’s light is all-inclusive and all-embracing. This
is the Light that dispels darkness and evil, hatred
and ruthlessness, injustice and intolerance in our
world.
As Glinda, the Good Witch of the North says to
the munchkins in The Wizard of Oz: “Come out,
come out, wherever you are!” So God challenges
and invites us today to leave darkened closets—
to be Bearers of the Light to a world of obscurity…
I trust we shall heed the invitation…Amen.

In Our Past
by Celeste DeRoche, Ph.D.
[Celeste was called away on a family
emergency so we are re-running her July
2006 column. Celeste promises a new
column for August, ed.]
PEARL M. HART
The Fourth of July always makes me think
of the United States Constitution. Okay, I
know I am a little strange, but it is one of
those documents that we tend to take for
granted until we really need it. It is also
one of those documents that is easy to
forget about until folks like Senator Bill Frist
decide that it should be used as a means
of exclusion, instead of inclusion as it has
historically always been used.
The lesbian, bi-sexual, transgendered and
gay communities are fortunate that at this
juncture in the early twenty first century
we have entire organizations dedicated to
ensuring that GLBT persons are as included
in the protections the U. S. Constitution
offers an any other citizen. This was not
always the case. In the not so distant past
it was up to individuals to zealously guard
and actively advocate for protection under
the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
We are extremely fortunate in our history
that such persons of courage and distinction
were present. One of the most important
forebears for organizations like the Human
Rights Campaign and the Lambda Legal
Defense Fund was lawyer Pearl M. Hart.
Born Pearly Minne Harchovsky, Pearl M.
Hart was known all of her life as “Hart”.
She was called Hart but was known for her
large “heart” and dedication to defending
the rights of “the least lucrative and most
oppressed kind of clients” namely, children,
women, immigrants and gay men and
lesbians.
Hart practiced law in the city of Chicago
from 1914 to 1975. She was one of the first
female attorneys in the city to specialize
18
in criminal law. Hart attended the nightschool program at Chicago’s John Marshall
Law School in 1911, earning her tuition by
working during the day as a law clerk and
stenographer. She graduated in 1914 and
was admitted to the Illinois Bar on October
7 of that same year and began to build her
criminal law practice.
Her early legal career focused on the needs
of children. She was regarded as an expert
on juvenile justice and drafted legislation,
served on committees, and spoke before a
variety of civic groups, all in her dedicated
effort to protect Chicago’s most vulnerable
citizens.
In the 1950s, Hart devoted increased
time to defending individuals accused of
subversions against the U.S. government.
The three major laws under which her
clients were prosecuted were the Alien
Registration Act of 1940, the Internal
Security Act of 1950, and the Immigration
and Nationality Act of 1952. (In these days
of heated debate over immigration and the
rights of immigrants as well as personal civil
liberties under life with Homeland Security,
Hart would probably feel all too at home in
the U.S. of 2006.)
Hart’s most prominent case from this era
was U.S. v. Witkovich. George Witkovich
received an order of deportation on June
15, 1953. In a subsequent hearing before
the Immigration and Naturalization Service,
he was asked twenty-two questions about
his activities and affiliations. On Hart’s
advice, he refused to answer the questions
because they were not relevant to whether
or not he should be deported. The
United States filed a lawsuit compelling
his answers, and Hart countered with an
appeal that eventually made its way to the
U.S. Supreme Court. She won the case in
1957.
became directly involved with the gay
and lesbian community, although she had
represented many gays in court before that
time. She probably felt freer to express her
own lesbian sexuality only after the death
of her parents. She was extremely close
to her large extended family but kept her
relationships with women hidden from
them, never openly identifying as lesbian.
Yet this did not prohibit her activism on
behalf of the lesbian and gay communities.
She co founded the Mattachine Midwest,
which had its first public meeting on July
27, 1965. She served as its legal counsel
until her death. In addressing one of the
early meetings of the group, she urged
the members to stop viewing themselves
as members of a minority and assert the
equal rights which are guaranteed to them
by the Constitution. Her advocacy for her
gay male clients arrested for soliciting sex
in a public place, those entrapped to do so,
and those caught in the crossfire of a bar
raid, earned her the nickname, “Guardian
Angel of Chicago’s Gay Community.”
On the fiftieth anniversary of her graduation
from the John Marshall Law School she
was accorded an honorary doctor of law
degree. The City of Chicago honored Hart
twice, posthumously. In 1992 she was
chosen to be inducted into the Chicago
Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame. In 2001
Hart was the recipient of a Chicago Tribute
Marker of Distinction.
The Bill of Rights was Pearl Hart’s moral
compass. She practiced law the way she
lived her life with compassion, integrity and
an unwavering passion for social justice.
This 4th of July, in whatever way you
celebrate, light a sparkler for the life of
Pearl Hart who did so much to illuminate
the lives of our people.
Celeste DeRoche received her doctoral
degree in United States History from the
University of Maine. She currently resides
in Vero Beach with her life partner. She
loves to read. She would welcome any

ORLANDO According to a June 15 article
in the Orlando Sentinel by Christine Dellert,
state Rep. D. Alan Hays told members of an
AIDS health-care group that his gay cousin
died after contracting AIDS and deserved
his fate. According to the article, two nurses
and a regional manager from Positive
Healthcare, say the Umatilla Republican
leaned across his desk and said his cousin
was “as queer as a three-dollar bill” and “had
that homosexual lifestyle and deserved what
he got.”
Hays, a retired dentist, has denied the
slur. “That is totally incorrect,” he said from
Tallahassee. “I did tell them that I had a
cousin that died [of AIDS]. . . . To assert
that I said they get what they deserve is
just beyond comprehension,” he said. Hays
said his cousin died of AIDS about a decade
ago.
the legislator’s words were insensitive, not
empathetic. “It’s a devaluating statement,” he
said. “Nobody deserves AIDS -- nobody.”

I hope you didn’t miss Compass GLCC’s Stonewall Ball where they honored Palm Beach
County Tax Collector, Anne M. Gannon, with the Plakas Leadership Award for her long
history of inclusive leadership for social justice issues. As a lobbyist in the early 1990’s,
Ms. Gannon has been an advocate in the work to end HIV/AIDS, protecting individuals
from stringent reporting measures which would deter people from being tested. She also
helped to defeat a bill in the Florida House that would track and trace those living with HIV
without providing funds to assist those who need help. As a Florida legislator, Ms. Gannon
was well known for her support of women’s equal rights, women’s reproductive rights, as well
as an advocate for victims of sexual violence. She has also supported minority communities
through programs for starting minority owned businesses. Ms.
Gannon served on the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council
helping to secure inclusive non-discrimination policies throughout
cities and government agencies in the county. Always the highlight
of June in Palm Beach The Stonewall Ball is something everyone
in the Palm Beaches should make it a point to attend.
for all Americans by working to end hate crimes, eliminate discrimination in the workplace
and promote equality for all of our families. Stafford noted, “As we celebrate PRIDE Month
this year, Democrats across America are putting our commitment to a more fair and just
America into action. Last year, President Bush marked PRIDE month by using the Rose
Garden to launch a divisive and discriminatory federal marriage amendment that targeted
the LGBT community for political gain. But this year, Democrats up and down the ticket
and all across the country are working to create an America that respects the rights and
dignity of every American.
There’s a new energy at Kashmir in West Palm Beach kicking off
with DJ Oren Nizri will be spinning on Saturday June 30 in a theme
party named “CIRCUIT PARTY SATURDAY”. He will be back in
August at Kashmir and will be spinning in special Saturday dance
party events on an on-going basis. Gary and the Kashmir gang
are working on new and different high energy events for the dance
bar in West Palm, where it’s always a party!
(From a Democratic National Committee fact sheet) WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR
MAKES!
Newly Elected Democratic Governors Leading on LGBT Issues:
• In Iowa, new Democratic Governor Chet Culver signed a state Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA) into law.
Gay Rights Tidbit: Rick Stafford, chair of the Democratic National
Committee’s LGBT Caucus, marked PRIDE Month by applauding Miami DH Oren Nizri will be
the strong leadership of Democrats across America, who have mixing for special parties at
demonstrated the Democratic Party’s commitment to equality Kashmir

“All across our country—from Alabama to Arkansas, Iowa to Oregon, Massachusetts
to Colorado, etc.—we see how the debate and legislative agenda has been positively
changed for LGBT Americans. Democrats in state houses, governors’ mansions and in
Congress are working to ensure a nation based on fairness and equality for all Americans.
Together, their record shows that the best way to stand up for the LGBT community is to
elect Democrats.”

• In Colorado, new Democratic Governor Bill Ritter signed a second-parent adoption bill

• In Ohio, new Democratic Governor Ted Strickland signed an executive order prohibiting

gender identity, while the Democratic legislature in Washington State passed a domestic
partner bill.
FLASHBACK: One year ago this month, President Bush used the Rose Garden to promote
a federal anti-marriage amendment.
Democratic Presidential Candidates are Standing Up for LGBT Americans:
• At the June 2007 Democratic candidate debate, every single Democratic Presidential
candidate endorsed repealing the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
• At their June 2007 debate, not a single Republican candidate agreed to end "don't ask,
don't tell," even if that policy led to the dismissal of openly gay Arab language translators
in a time of war.
• In their responses to the Human Rights Campaign candidate questionnaire, every Democratic presidential candidate backed federal recognition for LGBT couples, inclusion of
sexual orientation and gender identity in the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and
passage of the hate crimes prevention bill.
