Marking the 38th Annual San Diego Pride celebration with voices from our community

This week marks the start of the majority of San Diego Pride festivities, including
numerous events held by political groups,
entertainment venues and businesses, as well
as the official Parade and Festival produced
by the San Diego LGBT Pride (SD Pride)
organization.
“With our 2012 San Diego LGBT Pride
theme of America’s Pride, we are looking to
celebrate the exciting victories the LGBT community has achieved in the past year and push
for ward on issues of equality,” said SD Pride
Executive Director Dwayne Crenshaw in their
souvenir guide.
“The promise of America grounded in
the Constitution, contained in our Pledge of
Allegiance, inscribed on the Statue of Liberty
and enunciated by generations of our nation’s
leaders is that America stands for liberty, for
justice [and] for equality for all,” he said. “This
has been America’s Pride.”
The LGBT communities beyond Uptown
will no doubt be attending as well, including
people and groups from North County and
South Bay. In conjunction with the North
County LGBTQ Resource Center, festivities
for North County residents will continue with
the annual Pride @ the Beach celebration on
Oct. 13 in Oceanside, Calif.
The annual South Bay Pride festival, however, will not be taking place this year.
Typically held in late August, South Bay
Alliance board chair Marci Bair said that in
lieu of holding South Bay Pride, the organization was planning a different public event for

“We’re going to be drinking
shots off the Goddess’s boobs;
I don’t know,” she said. “Why
would I tell you my whole show?
They have to come.”
Just to keep up, “they,” of
course, means you.
In the same breath, though,
Tenuta divulged a little about
what she would bring to San
Diego, saying her show ranged
from ranting about which celebrity is bothering her to fighting
for LGBT rights.
“I’m going to be talking about,
obviously, pigs in the news who
need to be slammed, and I’m going to be talking about, of course,
celebrating marriage equality and
why the hell we don’t have it in
California,” she said.
“Here’s what I don’t understand. How is it possible that in
Iowa, where pigs graze, you can
get married? I mean, come on.

Texas attack sparks San Diego responses
Canvass for a Cause and San Diego Remembers hold separate vigils for shooting of lesbian couple
In order to speak out against
the shooting of a lesbian couple in
Texas – one teen ultimately died
of her injuries – two separate vigils
were organized and held by two
local organizations within four days
of each other.
The first, held June 29, was
organized by Canvass for a Cause
(CFAC), a Hillcrest nonprofit. The
vigil was held outside of a Class Act
distribution center and Christian
preschool in North Park. Class Act
has a petition circulating in the state
to gain signatures for a repeal of
last year’s FAIR Education Act. The
Act, which went into effect this year,
mandates LGBT civil-rights history
be taught in public schools.

HillQuest Urban Guide: Hillcrest queens write their next chapter
Long-time residents Ann Garwood and Nancy Moors continue their decade of service with a move to Bankers Hill
By Morgan M. Hurley | GSD Assistant Editor
For the past 10 years, residents,
business owners, visitors and supporters of the popular San Diego enclave Hillcrest have had their very
own set of pied pipers: longtime
couple and Hillcrest residents, Ann
Garwood and Nancy Moors.
As they release their 10th and
final edition of “HillQuest,” the
free “urban guide to Hillcrest and
beyond” dubbed HQ10, the couple
wrap up preparations to move a
mile south to Bankers Hill, all
the while keeping their vision of
Hillcrest in focus.
“We’d like to see the next
community plan add more infrastructure or less density,” they
said. “Hillcrest has been a great
neighborhood for over 100 years.
Perhaps it doesn’t need much
changing.”
Although a quick summary of
their history can be found in the
opening pages of “HillQuest,” so
much more can be said. In 2002,
after a two-year, long-distance courtship, Garwood and Moors formally
merged their lives together in Hillcrest on several levels: the personal,
professional and social.
On a personal level, Moors
returned to her hometown of San
Diego after running a daily newspaper along the central California
coast for several decades. This
was serendipitously two weeks before Garwood, a Hillcrest resident
since 1981, learned that she had
breast cancer.
Not long after Moors’s arrival
and their battle with cancer began,
they combined their professional
talents in publishing, advertising
and design, continuing Garwood’s
thriving Ad-Ink advertising agency,
and in 2003, launched an ambitious
new project called “HillQuest: Urban
Guide – to Hillcrest and Beyond.”
This new venture allowed the
couple to completely immerse
themselves in every way possible,
making them steadfast staples of
the social scene and gracing them
with dozens of fast-friends in every
corner of the neighborhood.
“Nancy and Ann have been clients, friends and business associates for too many years to count,”
said Jeff Keeny, a long-time dentist
located at Park Boulevard and
Robinson Street. “Their professionalism and always positive,
helpful attitude toward everything
is how the world should run.”
The decision to merge all those
aspects of their lives paid off, not
only for the couple, but for the
community as well. Garwood soon
regained her health as the couple
and Hillcrest, began to thrive.
Since day one, “HillQuest” has
been the ultimate resource, chockfull of history, area personalities,
trivia tidbits, fold-out maps, local
walking tours, business listings,
informative articles about neighboring communities, ideas for
where to shop and eat, and more.
It is not unusual for a Hillcrest
lover to keep every edition on their
shelves, since there really is no
reason to throw them away.
Always released the last week
of June and covering the following
twelve months, July to June, the
handy booklet has a standing distribution of 30,000 copies every year.
That means 300,000 total copies
have been distributed in the streets
of Hillcrest since 2003.
“They’ve worked tirelessly for
the betterment of the community,
from historic preservation to Saturday morning cleanup projects to the
[Hillcrest] centennial and more,”
said Patty Fares, founder and owner
of Urban Safari Walking Tours,
and her husband, Rusty Runholt.
“They’re fun caring women who
we’ve turned to for information
many times.”
The trivia “nuggets,” as Moors
calls them, that line the margin
of each page in every HQ edition cleverly unearth themselves
throughout the year as the couple
partakes in walking tours, trips
to the library or running errands
around town in their personalized
and hard-to-miss golf-cart.
Once the couple began to delve
into the history of this unique community for the book, they began to
realize the challenges involved in
acquiring the necessary stories and
photographs of days gone by. When
Hillcrest’s 2007 centennial was fast
approaching, they decided to take
action and, in 2005, they established the Hillcrest History Guild
(HHG), a nonprofit clearinghouse
that archives, stores and dispenses
historical facts, articles, documents
and photographs specifically about
the neighborhood online at hillcresthistory.org.
To support the Guild, the couple
started several local community
events over the years, including “Hop

Guide, shown celebrating another year of the popular handbook.

in the Hood,” the “Toast of Hillcrest”
and the Whole Foods sponsored
“Movies on the Roof,” personally
hosting them all each year.
Ben Cartwright, executive director of the San Diego Gay Men’s
Chorus, has been the tour host for
Toast to Hillcrest each year. “Ann
and Nancy are the people who
got me excited about Hillcrest,”
Cartwright said. “They opened my
eyes, not only to the physical beauty

FilmOut and SD Pride partner for film screenings
‘Gayby’ and ‘Welcome to New York’ premiere July 18 to kick off Pride festivities

In conjunction with San Diego
LGBT Pride and to celebrate Pride
week, FilmOut San Diego is hosting a special feature-film screening
on Wednesday, July 18: the San
Diego premiere of “Gayby.” Additionally, the short film “Welcome
to New York” will premiere before
the feature.
“FilmOut San Diego is proud
to welcome San Diego Pride as
the co-presenter of the San Diego
premiere of ‘Gayby’ and ‘Welcome
to New York’ as a kickoff to the
San Diego Pride weekend,” said
Michael McQuiggan, FilmOut
festival programmer. “These truly
original, smart and well-written
films represent the best of the
LGBT filmmaking community.”
Developed from the short
film of the same name, “Gayby”
is an “irreverent comedy” following two friends – a gay man and
his straight, ally girlfriend – who
decide to make a baby together,
the old-fashioned way.
The film’s director, Jonathan
Lisecki, said his goal was to make a
film that appealed to all audiences.
“I wanted to make this one as broad
and likable, and audience friendly,
as possible.”
Saying there was certainly
deeper meaning in “Gayby,” Lisecki
prefers to keep the social agenda
in his films hidden by humor and
laughter. “There’s a little bit of
a message,” he said, “but I still wanted it not to be force fed to people.
I wanted it to be in there, underneath, like an enjoyable comedy.”
The message, Lisecki said, is
about accepting people’s choices of
what family means to them.
“A lot of people are making these
choices about what kind of family
they’re going to have. It comes up a
lot in my peer group right now and it
was definitely on my mind,” he said.
The subject of starting a family
was on Lisecki’s mind literally, for
he said the impetus for creating
the short film in the first place
was because he had a friend in
college whom he planned to make
a “Gayby” together. Those plans
eventually fell through, but Lisecki
ended up using the situation as
inspiration.
“Since that option wasn’t available to me anymore, I think I made
the comedy version of what it would
have been like,” he said.
The film stars Jenn Harris and
Matthew Wilkas in the lead roles,
two actors Lisecki knows well from
his own acting days.
“I’ve known [them] for years
now,” he said. “I feel like when you
know who you’re writing for, it really helps the process.”
Both Harris and Wilkas starred
in the short film version, which
screened at over 100 festivals,
winning jury prizes at the Philadelphia, Rhode Island, Outtakes
Dallas, CineSLAM, OutFilmCT and
Arizona film festivals. It was also
selected Best of Fest at the Palm
Springs ShortFest.
Turning to filmmaking after an
extensive career in independent theater, Lisecki said the transition to a
feature-length film from a short was
fairly fast and easy. In fact, he said
he had a longer film idea in mind
from the very beginning.
“The entire time, while I was
watching it, I had more places to
go with my characters,” he said of
writing the screenplay. “When I sat
down to do it, I was already there.”
Lisecki, who lives in New York
City with his husband, said he is
excited to be in San Diego for the
premiere. “I’m sure it’s going to be
a good showing. I’ve heard good
things about the [FilmOut] Festival,
and I’m excited to be there,” he said.
“I’m coming for the screening,
to experience it with the people. So
much of filmmaking is such an isolating experience,” he said. “When
you get to see it with the audiences,
it is a thrill. I can’t wait.”
Before “Gayby” screens,
FilmOut and SD Pride will show
the short film, “Welcome to New
York,” directed and written by
Steven Tylor O’Connor. The film is
the story of five young people’s first
experiences in the big city, and stars
a number of actors, including drag
performer Sherry Vine and Sean
Paul Lockhart, better known as
Brent Corrigan.
“San Diego LGBT Pride is very
thrilled to continue our partnership
with FilmOut,” said Dwayne Crenshaw, SD Pride executive director.
“It is through great collaborations
like these, we are able to bring a
wonderful and diverse range of
entertainment to the community
during Pride.”
The July 18 screening takes
place at the Birch North Park Theatre, located at 2891 University Ave.
Tickets are $10 and the evening
starts at 7 p.m. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit

Jacobs Plan approved for Balboa Park
Council votes 6-1 in favor of plan; SOHO to legally challenge decision
By Margie M. Palmer | GSD Reporter
The San Diego City Council
voted 6-1 on Monday, July 9
to approve Dr. Ir win Jacobs’s
proposed plan to remove vehicle
traffic from the center of Balboa
Park. Once construction for the
Qualcomm co-founder’s Plaza de
Panama plan is complete, cars
will be removed from the Plaza
de California, Esplanade, West
El Prado and Plaza de Panama.
District One Councilmember
Sherri Lightner cast the lone
dissenting vote. District Four
Councilmember Tony Young
was absent and did not vote.
Under the Jacobs Plan, a
“Centennial Bridge” and road
will be constructed off the south
side of the Cabrillo Bridge,
leading to a newly constructed,
underground, paid parking
structure directly behind the
Spreckles Organ Pavilion. Project documents state the approximate 800-car lot will increase
parking by 270 spaces and will
be topped by a two-acre park.
A $5 fee will be assessed for
vehicles to utilize this structure.
Free parking will still be available in the park’s other lots.
Approximately $25 million of
the plan’s $40 million cost will
be funded by private donations.
Expenses beyond that will be
paid through a City-issued bond.
The bond will be repaid through
projected revenue from the paid
parking lot.
Some groups, including a
number of Balboa Park’s museums, point to the benefits of
reclaiming pedestrian-use only
space within the Plaza.
San Diego Natural Histor y
Museum’s President and CEO
Michael Hager has been quoted
as saying the removal of cars
from the Prado and Plaza are
“extremely important” to the
visitor experience in the park.
Additionally, Sea World San
Diego President John T. Reilly
has said he believes the change
will eliminate dangerous conflicts between cars and pedestrians and will help improve the
park’s ability to attract visitors.
The plan, however, is not
popular across all groups.
Save Our Heritage Organisation President Bruce Coons was
among those to voice opposition
at the seven-hour July 9 council
meeting.
“You have one of the most
important decisions you’ll ever
make in your life here today,”
Coons said. “The public wants
you to listen to the public for
once. Eighty-five percent to
90 percent of San Diegans do
not want this project to move
for ward. You should exercise
leadership for once in your life
and send [the proposed plan]
back for a compromise.”
Former San Diego City Attorney Mike Aguirre addressed
Jacobs directly, accusing him of
destroying both Balboa Park and
San Diego democracy, as well
as controlling city government
through his wealth.
“You are not a philanthropist,
you’re a plutocrat,” Aguirre said.
The City Council disagreed.
District Three Councilmember Todd Gloria, whose district
includes Balboa Park, said he
has dedicated a considerable
amount of time and thought
to the plan since it was first
proposed in 2010. He said he believes the benefits of the project,
including the removal of cars,
the reclaiming of approximately
six acres of parkland for pedestrians and reducing the number
of pedestrian and vehicle conflicts outweigh the plan’s cost.
“I educated myself on the
alternatives to the Jacobs plan
and they all have an impact as
significant if not more significant,” Gloria said. “One proposal
involves closing the Cabrillo
Bridge, but we know this will
have significant traffic impacts
to areas to the west side of the
park, such as Bankers Hill. This
would bring opposition and
controversy from a new group or
stakeholders.”
Ever y alternative has been
considered, he said, and each
comes with its own costs. “While
there certainly are costs for the
Jacobs plan the costs associated
with the alternatives far outweigh their benefits,” he said.
Gloria also said he believes
that at completion, Balboa Park’s
center will be magnificent.
“You can look at the East
Prado, which was closed to
traffic from Park Boulevard
and pedestrianized in the early
1970s. People congregate by the
fountain and stroll through the
East Arcade,” he said. “We’ve
tasted it, we’ve seen it and that
is what we’re going to replicate,
not just in the Plaza de Panama,
but in the West El Prado, the
Plaza de California and the
Esplanade.”
Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) representatives
said they will legally challenge
the plan’s approval.
“SOHO supports the widely
shared goal of removing parking from the Plaza de Panama
in time for the centennial of the
1915 Panama-California Exposition,” a July 10 press release
stated, “but the costly Jacobs
A rendering of the approved plan for Balboa Park (Courtesy Plaza de Panama Committee)
plan is indefensible in terms
of minor net parking gains,
huge public costs for construction and maintenance, and the
introduction of paid parking for
park visitors. The City concedes
that the new bypass bridge will
significantly impact a historic
landmark but contends that such
impacts are justified by project
benefits. SOHO and thousands
of San Diegans disagree.”t

Talonya Geary: FlawLes, challenged, but filled with resolve
Founder of popular lesbian events focuses on increasing visibility for the entire community
Andaz Hotel, location of FlawLez Rooftop Pride Pool Party (Courtesy Andaz Hotel)
By Morgan M. Hurley | GSD Assistant Editor
When Talonya Gear y and Dr.
Wendy Ochoa first decided to
launch FlawLes Media in time
for San Diego Pride 2007, they
had a mutual vision: to increase
the visibility of the lesbian community. As FlawLes became a
reality, that vision soon became
their mission statement, and as
they prepare to celebrate their
sixth anniversar y, not much has
changed.
This sounds like a perfectly
noble and acceptable mission, but
unfortunately, there have been a
lot of bumps along the way.
Geary, a member of worldrenown motivational speaker Anthony Robbins’s staff, will be the
first to say carrying out that mission caused her and Ochoa to ex-
perience a great deal of backlash
from their own community. That
backlash centered on the pair’s
definition of where invisibility
needed to be increased, and they
decided it was not Hillcrest.
“I don’t need to convince the
Chris Shaws of the world,” Geary
said, because venue owners
like Shaw, who owns the Mo’s
Universe restaurants, are already
associated with the LGBT community.
“We were very intentional
about the places we wanted
to host the events. … People
thought that we were just [being
kind] of pretentious and not
supporting the community …
[by] doing our own thing, which
couldn’t have been any further
from the truth,” she said.
“The intention was to really
scout the nice
venues in San
Diego that
were outside
of the gay
community, because we felt like
our mission with FlawLes was to
always increase the visibility of
the lesbian community – strategically, the lesbian community –
because the LGBT community …
does a pretty good job, already
standing together to increase the
visibility of us as a whole, but we
felt there was [a lack of] significant leadership in the lesbian
community to get us out and
about, especially when it came to
the mainstream market.”
Their first event was in September of 2007 at Stingaree.
“We approached them with
benevolence on some level and
confidence on another, and said,
‘We want to do a lesbian event
here.’ They were kind of shocked
as well, but if you put a credit
card down and you guarantee a
food and beverage minimum with
it, you can pretty much go anywhere,” she said. “We definitely
were met with resistance.”
When they approached their
next “conquest,” The Ivy, Geary
said the management tried to call
her bluff, but according to her
Talonya Geary
(Courtesy FlawLes Media)
explanation of events, she called
theirs.
“The Ivy had just been open
maybe six months,” she said.
“We approached them [and] they
thought we were crazy. Geary
then said they were forced to put
their money where there mouths
were.
“I remember the marketing
manager saying, ‘As long as this
is a $100,000 buyout,’ and I said,
‘Here’s my card. Do whatever
you have to do, but take a risk
with me I’ll take a risk with you.’”
That second big event at The
Ivy, over Easter weekend in 2008,
is what Geary said she believes
put them on the map.
“We’ve always had an intense
commitment to quality, and we
believed our community and the
people we represented deserved
the absolute best,” she said.
Despite the naysayers, each
FlawLes event has been a smashing success, including their Tie
Parties, which last year expanded to San Francisco.
“We’re not going anywhere,”
she said.
They had to put production of
their FlawLes Magazine on the
back burner two years ago due to
costs, but to celebrate their sixth
anniversary this month, the company is launching a digital-only
version of their popular magazine
during Pride weekend.
“[The magazine] is something
we are still passionate about and
the one thing we miss the most,”
Geary said. “It gives us a way to
celebrate the six-year anniversary and bring back a part of
our business history. It will have
the same quality and set-up you
expect to see of FlawLes on [the]
shelf, but online.”
Recent personal struggles
have also been a challenge,
Geary said. Just last year, the San
Diego resident dealt with a significant loss in her life; her 37-year
old brother took his life after a
long struggle with his sexuality.
The loss, although painful and
very impactful on Geary’s professional aspirations, slowed her
momentum; but the tragedy also
filled her with a stronger resolve
to reach LGBT people.
“In the lesbian community,
[especially] in the older segment
above a certain age, there is an
enormous amount of shame and
it breaks my heart,” Geary said.
“It is definitely one of my driving
triggers with FlawLes.
“I want people to enjoy who
they are,” she said. “I celebrate
being gay every single day. I love
walking into meetings and taking
the opportunity to be out and I
wish that upon other people.“
Today, Geary is back on track
and forging full speed ahead. She
promises two FlawLes events
in 2012, the always-packed
Pool Party at this coming Pride
celebration, as well as a new Tie
Party in San Diego this Fall.
She said there will also be big
announcements at the Pool Party,
including the digital magazine
launch, a membership program,
a FlawLes mobile application and
a new nonprofit initiative, called
“FlawLes Gives Back,” to support
lesbian youth, lesbian entrepreneurs and lesbian free-thinkers.
“I was talking to Wendy
[Ochoa] last night about … the
meaning of FlawLes,” Geary said.
“It is not just about being lesbian,
it is about being out, about being
strong, about being successful on
your terms, and it’s about making a difference. [It’s also about]
having people feel included and
giving people a voice, a name and
a direction.”
Now that’s flawless.

COUNCILMEMBER GLORIA PUSHES
FOR METER FUNDS USAGE
District Three Councilmember
Todd Gloria announced July 11 his
support of using excess parking
meter funds for parking improvements. Gloria serves as chair of
the Budget and Finance Committee, which held an oversight hearing to discuss guidelines of the
use of parking meter funds. “The
shortage of parking is a problem
in many San Diego communities,
and funds are available to solve
it,” Gloria said in a press release.
“City staff and parking districts
must move forward with tangible
parking improvements for our
neighborhoods.” Currently, parking meter revenue is split between
the City’s General Fund at 55 percent and Community Parking Districts (CPDs) at 45 percent. CPDs
use the funds to implement parking solutions in their respective
neighborhoods, and the Uptown
CPD has amassed $1.1 million in
unallocated balances. In the press
release, Gloria said CPD advisory
boards have “expressed frustration with the speed at which their
proposals and projects are analyzed and implemented by City
staff.” The Budget and Finance
Committee discussed several areas for improvement, all to be decided in the future.

I have to shoot a moose and pour
syrup on myself. I mean, why do I
have to do that? Although I’m sure
it could be lovely.”
Yes, it would probably be
lovely to pour syrup on yourself,
but there was not any time to ask
if she meant the same for shooting large animals. The woman’s
mind moves fast.
“What the hell? Who knew
gays would be there?” she said.
While it may not be legal in
California, that is not going to
stop Tenuta from performing her
own version of a “big gay wedding.” On July 22, the comedian
– an ordained minister in “Judyism,” performing marriages for
20 years – plans on officiating
over her own version of a wedding ceremony for a lucky San
Diego couple.
“Usually I do a wedding whenever I do my show,” she said, “but
this time we’re going to make it
really special. I haven’t given out
certificates before, I just perform

reporting sexual abuse mandatory.
“We’re proactively reaching out
to local universities and sending

TRANSGENDER ACTIVEST
TARGETED AND DETAINED
Of less than a dozen protesters at a downtown march against
the Trans Pacific Partnership, one
transgender activist was targeted
and detained by San Diego Police
on Saturday, July 7, stated a press
release by Canvass for a Cause
(CFAC). The activist spent the
day in the Downtown Police headquarters and was threatened with
spending an unknown amount of
time in the Las Calinas Women’s
Detention Facility. “We have footage of the arrest, said Rachel
Scoma, attorney for and executive director of CFAC. “The police
wrongfully accused a friend of the
arrestee of alleged vandalism, but
a witness positively affirmed to the
police that neither the arrestee nor
his friend were the person they
were looking for. The friend of our
transgender activist was let go.”
At the time of arrest, CFAC asked
community members to call the
Police Department to ask for the
protester’s release, “based on the
threats posed to transgender people in prison.” The detainee was
later released.t
the marriage, but this time we’re
going to have to do a certificate,
of course.”
Of course.
Tenuta also said she expects
those who want her to marry
them to “get gayed out,” recalling
a time when a couple in Florida,
who were already over six feet
tall, were wearing 10-inch platforms, red tutus and red wigs.
“Veils, too,” she said. They
had veils.
If this is not making any
sense, perhaps a little Judyism
would be good for you.
Tenuta takes the stage at Martinis Above Fourth, 3940 Fourth
Ave., on July 21 for the late-night
show at 10 p.m. She returns to
Martinis July 22 for the 2 p.m.
show and wedding. Interested
couples can enter for the chance
to have Tenuta marry them.
She will also be taking over
the Martinis float during the Pride
parade, and you can win a chance
to be on the float with her, too.

Our pioneer moves on
By Assemblymember Toni Atkins
For the past 26 years I have
looked forward to the approach
of San Diego Pride – excited to
once again participate in our community celebration and to reflect
on the significant strides we have
made toward LGBT equality in
the past year.
But this year I’m feeling more
sentimental than usual. That could
be because I hit the 50-year milestone of life this summer. Actually,
though, I think my nostalgia is
triggered by this being the last
year in the Senate for the Pride
of our community, State Senator
Christine Kehoe.
Christine has spearheaded
countless advances for our civil
rights over the last three decades.
She was campaign manager for
Neil Good, one of the first open
LGBT candidates for City Council.
She, along with Ben Dillingham,
was among the first visible, LGBT
staff members at City Hall.
When Christine ran as a
grassroots candidate for San
Diego City Council District
Three in 1993, she raised more
money than any other candidate
running for an open seat. The
LGBT community was galvanized. Many of us made our very
first financial contribution to a
political campaign. We walked
precincts; we stuffed envelopes;
we got up at 4 a.m. on Election Day to drop literature and
remind people to vote.
The result? SUCCESS! When
the votes were counted, Christine
– and our community – had won!
City Hall wondered what the
“Gay Agenda” would entail. I think
Christine surprised the establishment, but she didn’t surprise
us. Her agenda was responsive
government – for everyone. She
got right to work on behalf of the
historically underrepresented
older and denser communities of
District Three. Her agenda was
working to complete Interstate
15 through City Heights, building a new inner city library and
police sub-station and adding
critical park space. She added
street lights to ensure safety. She
worked with the School District to
build schools and to support joint
use of our schools and our parks.
And, yes, she also helped secure
LGBT rights by getting domestic
partnership benefits for City workers.
After seven years, Christine
headed off to Sacramento and the
State Assembly, where she again
took up the leadership mantel,
becoming Speaker pro-Tempore.
As a member of important committees – Housing and Community Development, Transportation,
Water Parks & Wildlife – she
continued to effectively represent
her communities, achieving successes like increasing protections
for water quality and the urban
canyons that San Diegans hold so
dear. Her successes also included
ones for the LGBT community,
helping to establish the State
Legislative LGBT Caucus – and
serve as its first chair – and
increasing LGBT civil rights.
In the State Senate, Christine
again became part of leadership,
chairing the Energy Committee. As she nears the end of her
tenure due to term limits, she now
presides over the Senate Floor
session weekly and is the Chair
of the powerful Appropriations
Committee. And she continues to
champion LGBT rights.
The Senator has made all of
San Diego proud. She has made
the LGBT community particularly
proud. Yet, no matter how influential she became, she never forgot
her home base, San Diego.
As a new member of the Assembly, I have been lucky enough
to have Christine as a mentor and
sounding board. When we grapple
with a large statewide policy issue,
she is likely to say something
like, “Why don’t we call Linda
Pennington or Karen Manley
[City Heights residents] and see
what they think?” She always
remembers that abstract policy
issues have a direct impact at the
local level and that it is our job to
understand that impact.
So, during this year’s Pride
celebrations, I’ll be thinking about
Christine Kehoe’s legacy as a
community activist, City Councilmember, State Assemblymember
and State Senator. I hope as
she passes by during the Pride
Parade, you’ll join me in yelling
loud and long “KEHOE, KEHOE,
KEHOE” as a tribute to a fine San
Diegan who has served us well.t
Editor’s note: Assemblymember
Toni Atkins answered our request
for a statement to include in this
week’s special Pride Issue. We
thank her for her heartfelt response,
as we do all those who answered the
question, “What does Pride mean to
me?” Read all of them in the Community Voices section in this week’s
Pride Guide insert.

Linda Perine honored by GSDBA
There was recognition that is not traditionally awarded by
the GSDBA [see “GSDBA Awards Luncheon,” Vol. 3, Issue 13].
A special volunteer award that has only been given out twice
was awarded near the end of the presentation to Linda Perine.
Her commitment to GSDBA, ser ving as our Government
Af fairs volunteer, leading the redistricting ef for ts last year, and
working diligently and strategically for the LGBT community in
San Diego was recognized. It was above and beyond what was
expected by any volunteer.
I wanted to also thank you for mentioning my six years of
ser vice on the GSDBA board. It was a great experience and allowed me to help GSDBA develop many of its new programs and
lead its corporate partnership efforts. I hope more people will
join the GSDBA for their business and professional pursuits.
—Eric Brown, via gay-sd.com
Editor’s note: thank you for the clarification; I was unaware there
was a special award given out and deeply regret not getting it into
the original story. I saw Linda working that day at the luncheon, and
cannot think of a better recipient for this volunteer award.

Editorial
LGBT couples often face additional financial hurdles
By Jason Alderman
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)
couples – and individuals – often face significant
financial hurdles compared to their heterosexual
counterparts. According to Chris Kollaja, a certified
public accountant and partner at A.L. Nella & Company in San Francisco, LGBT couples often incur
higher costs for everything from income taxes to
employee benefits to adoptions because of prevailing
laws and tax regulations.
For example:
In states where gay marriage is not legal, samesex couples must file separate income tax returns,
as with unmarried heterosexual couples. Where it
is legal, if they want to file a joint state return they
must each file an individual federal return and then
complete a “mock” joint federal return and use that
data to calculate their joint state return.
Company-provided domestic partner benefits are
considered imputed income by the IRS and added
to the employee’s taxable income. Also, whereas
opposite-sex married couples can use pretax dollars
to pay for medical insurance premiums, domestic
partners cannot.
Heterosexual spouses can receive up to 50
percent of their spouse’s Social Security benefits if
he or she is still alive, can collect their dead spouse’s
benefit if it’s higher than their own, and receive a
$255 lump-sum spousal death benefit. None of these
benefits apply to same-sex spouses.
Heterosexual married couples can contribute up
to $5,000 a year to a spousal IRA for a non-working
spouse; same-sex couples cannot.
If one spouse in a heterosexual marriage enters
a nursing home and applies for Medicaid, the other
may continue living in their home without impacting Medicaid eligibility. However, if an LGBT couple
owns a home and one applies for Medicaid, the other
must buy out the sick partner’s share in order to
remain in their home.
Heterosexual married couples can transfer
unlimited assets to each other without paying federal
estate taxes. Everyone else, including married samesex couples, must pay taxes on estates that exceed
$5.12 million.
Despite last year’s repeal of “don’t ask, don’t
tell,” veteran’s benefits based on marital status
remain unavailable to same-sex military spouses including: military hospital visitation rights; survivor
benefits; increased compensation to spouses of disabled veterans; Veterans Administration Home Loan
eligibility for surviving spouses; and burial together
in military cemeteries.
“The most important takeaway is that you can’t
take planning for granted,” Kollaja said. “It’s critical
to establish your wishes through proper documentation.”
He offers these tips:
Inventory all your assets and make sure everything is clearly titled and registered with the county.
Make sure your will, trust, durable power of attorney and other legal documents spell out how you
want your assets distributed and whom you want to
make your medical and financial decisions; otherwise the courts may designate someone instead.
Designate the proper beneficiaries for all insurance policies, retirement plans and investment
accounts.
Buy adequate health, property and casualty insurance. If you’re married or in a registered domestic
partnership, you could be held liable for your partner’s accident.
Because many mutual retirement benefits are not
available to GLBT couples, plan your retirement for
two single people. Having your own long-term care
insurance is particularly important.
“Bottom line, make sure you have a trust or living will,” says Kollaja. “Other wise, you’ll be subject
to the state’s probate laws, which could determine
ver y different outcomes than what you would have
wished.”t

Thank you to Assemblymember Toni Atkins and to State
Senator Christine Kehoe [see “Atkins awards Gloria Johnson
LGBT Person of the Year,” Vol. 3, Issue 13]. My years as an
activist have been a wonder ful experience for me. And thank
you to all those of you who have stood with me, as together we
have fought for our rights. I was honored for what I love to do.
—Gloria Johnson, via gay-sd.com
It is wonderful to see such a long-time activist being honored
FINALLY for all her work on behalf of women and LGBT folks
[see “Atkins awards Gloria Johnson LGBT Person of the Year,”
Vol. 3, Issue 13]. I am proud to know her. I wish we could clone
her and make millions of Gloria Johnsons around the world!
I hope the younger folks will take Gloria’s lead and become
involved because all these issues are still here and need to be
fought until we are all free to be ourselves and to make America
truly “the land of the free and the land of the brave.”

This type of stor y just makes me so proud of you and, many

I wish you and, Brandon much love, happiness, and best wishes.

Correction
An error was made in the latest “Foodie Flashes” column,
Vol. 3, Issue 13. We incorrectly reported that Michael Stebner
headed Mixx before it closed. Stebner had no involvement or affiliation with Mixx at any time, and took over the space to open a
different restaurant after Mixx closed. We regret the error.t

Auf Wiedersehen, little hero Furthering the promise
LESLIE ROBINSON
GENERAL GAYETY
I’m appalled that I’d never
heard of Gad Beck. Not only was
he an important figure in LGBT
history, he was a hoot.
Until his recent death just shy
of his 89th birthday, Beck was the
last known gay Jewish survivor of
the Holocaust. Also a resistance
fighter, Beck’s experiences during
World War II were such that he
quipped, “Only Steven Spielberg
can film my life – forgive me,
forgive me.”
He’s forgiven. Because he’s
right.
Consider his attempt to rescue
his Jewish boyfriend. According to
Wikipedia, Beck donned a Hitler
Youth uniform and entered a deportation center to free Manfred
Lewin.
Thereby setting a ridiculously
high bar for standing by your man.
Beck asked the commanding
officer to release Lewin for use
in a construction project, and he
must’ve been convincing, because
the officer agreed.
When they got outside,
though, Lewin said, “Gad, I can’t
go with you. My family needs me.
If I abandon them now, I could
never be free.”
The two parted, not saying
goodbye. “In those seconds,
watching him go, I grew up,”
recalled Beck.
If you’re weepy already, don’t
read the next sentence. Lewin
and his whole family perished at
Auschwitz. I warned you.
Beck’s father was Jewish, and
his mother converted to Judaism. Under the Nazi racial laws,
Beck was a half-breed, and he
and his father landed in a holding
compound on the Rosenstrasse
in Berlin. He was released after
the non-Jewish wives of inmates
protested in the street.
They set a pretty high bar, too.
Beck learned from those
women. He said, reported The Jerusalem Post, “The Rosenstrasse
event made one thing absolutely
clear to me: I won’t wait until we
get deported.”
He joined a resistance youth
group, and helped Jews in Berlin
survive. Beck noted that “as a homosexual, I was able to turn to my
trusted non-Jewish, homosexual
acquaintances to help supply food
and hiding places.”
It helps to have friends in
homo places.
A Jewish spy working for the
Gestapo betrayed Beck shortly
before the war ended, and he was
held at a Jewish transit camp.
After the war, he assisted Jews
immigrating to Palestine, and he
himself lived in Israel from 1947
until 1979, when he returned to
Germany.
I don’t know why he returned.
But at his death he was survived
by Julius Laufer, his partner of 35
years, which means the two men
got together in 1977, two years
before Beck went back to Europe.
It would be gratifying to think he
returned to Germany for love,
considering he left it for the opposite reason.
But if he returned just because
he missed the beer, that’s okay, too.
As the director of the Jewish
Adult Education Center in Berlin,
Beck organized gatherings of
gay singles at the center. “He
was open, sweet and would speak
with everybody,” said the editor
of Berlin’s Jewish magazine, who
also recalled Beck’s fondness for
waving the Israeli flag at Berlin’s
annual Pride parade.
He sounds like the kind of guy
you’d want to have at a party. If
he could keep the flag-waving to a
minimum.
Beck’s heart-centeredness
combined with a notable wit. On a
German talk show, he said, “The
Americans in New York called
me a great hero. I said no … I’m
really a little hero.”
Of his life as a homosexual
Jew, Beck averred, “God doesn’t
punish for a life of love.” He
wasn’t the first to say that, and he
won’t be the last, but it’s tough to
imagine the line suiting anyone
better.t

of Independence Day
a l l a n ac e v e d o
Political
Spectrum
Last week our nation celebrated Independence Day, and
here in San Diego the focus of
the day revolved on two things:
whether the sun would come
out to really enjoy the festival
and the shorter-than-expected
fireworks show.
While Independence Day is
a day to celebrate, it’s important to remember what we are
celebrating and to place it in
context of what that celebration
means to our community.
On July 4, 1776 our nation’s
founding fathers signed the
Declaration of Independence,
and with that, asserted the
rights and liberties that we are
all endowed with as citizens
of this country: “life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.”
These words blazed a path for a
new country founded on democratic ideals and equality.
As we reflect on what the
independence of our nation
means to us, we must consider
the many conflicts our nation
has entered into to preserve
our independence and freedoms. In these conflicts,
invariably there were members
of the LGBT community who
participated in fighting for our
continued freedoms, even if
they had to do it in silence.
Reflecting on our own
independence, I thought it was
important to remember where
we came from and how much
further we have to go, but also
the people who helped bring us
to where we are today. If we, as
a community, do not remember
our own who have served, we
have done a disservice to our
community and the generations
to follow.
I started my own Independence Day by writing a letter
to a friend who had, just two
weeks ago, left to Marine Corps
boot camp. I thanked him for
his sacrifice and taking his first
step towards serving our country. Next, I took time to learn
about the heroes of our community who have also served
our nation whether they were
permitted to by law or not.
There was Dr. Thomas
A. Dooley, who ser ved as a
physician in the Navy during
the 1950s and published many
books about his humanitarian
efforts throughout Southeast
Asia. In 1956, he was being investigated for being a
homosexual and was forced to
resign, but did not return to
the United States. Instead he
stayed in the region caring for
civilians and other victims of
the war.
The story of Sgt. Leonard
Matlovich was especially meaningful. Matlovich came out in
the 1970s on the cover of Time
Magazine and made national
news for coming out as gay
while also being a decorated
war veteran. His story was the
first time an openly gay person
appeared on the front page of
a major publication. He was
subsequently discharged from
the military, and a few years
later came out on national
television as having contracted
HIV. His tombstone in the
Congressional Cemetery bears
a powerful inscription: “A Gay
Vietnam Veteran: When I was
in the military, they gave me a
medal for killing two men and a
discharge for loving one.”
Army Captain Tanya Domi
survived two investigations of
her sexuality during her time
in the Army. She fought back
while she was still serving,
contacting the ACLU during
a witch-hunt of other service
members between 1974 and
1975. She knew how to advocate for herself and others, and
spoke out to her representatives
in the U.S. House of Representatives to keep her job. After
reporting an incident of sexual
harassment she was falsely
alleged to be in a relationship
with another service member.
Despite not being discharged
for this second investigation, Domi left the Army and
turned to a life of advocacy.
She founded Gay, Lesbian, and
Bisexual Veterans of America
in 1991 and worked with the
National Gay and Lesbian Task
Force during the Clinton years
when the “don’t ask, don’t tell”
policy was first being debated.
Domi, along with a small group
of gay veterans, testified against
the ban to the Armed Services
Committee of the House of
Representatives in 1993.
This history and these
people are important to remember because they remind us that
our community has been there
all along, fighting to preserve
and advance our freedoms both
outside of our borders and
within.
We continue to live in a
country that juxtaposes the
idea of equal justice with selective privileges for some, and
we must ensure that every
year – when we come together
to recognize the history of the
past – that we remember the
contributions our community
has made along the way.
Remember the promises
and visions of our forefathers,
pause to reflect on the advancements of the generations
before us and look towards
the future to the impact that
you can have in furthering that
promise.t

Pop star talks new 3D film, kissing gay boys
and fighting hate with all her ‘love bullets’
By Chris Azzopardi | Q Syndicate
Not exactly last Friday night,
but it still happened: Katy Perry
called us from London, where it
was nearly 1 a.m. If life really does
imitate art, she smelled like a minibar on a night that’s soon to be a
blacked-out blur, right?
“Not tonight,” she insisted. “I
have to play and be professional
tomorrow, but maybe after the
show I’ll be having a couple of
Shirley Temples with some adult
juice in them.”
We spoke with Perry just after
she made a surprise appearance
in London for a screening of her
new film, “Katy Perry: Part of Me
3D,” a docu-concert chronicling
the California girl’s evolution from
gospel-singing daughter of two
pastors to international pop phenom, with the most lethal boobs in
the world.
During our interview, Perry
told us what else they shoot
besides whipped cream, how the
gay community can relate to her
movie and why Madonna doesn’t
scare her.
Chris Azzopardi: You go
from pretending to kiss girls to
wanting to have sex with girls,
recently joking during a radio
interview that you’d like to do
Rihanna. What’s up with all this
faux lesbianism?
Katy Perry: You know, everybody’s been asking me about the
duet with Rihanna and when it’s
going to happen. I get that question every time I get interviewed.
Obviously, we really want to do it
and we want to do it in a big way,
naturally; this [journalist] was
doing this rapid fire of inappropriate questions of sexual things,
and I just decided to throw her a
curve ball. I do not discriminate
against any beauty no matter what
form it comes in, and Rihanna is
gorgeous. I think that everybody
would tap it if they could.
CA: Have you ever kissed a
gay boy and liked it?
KP: Yes, I have. It’s so funny.
This boy I pseudo-dated in high
school, a fantastic flamenco
dancer, was in “Fiddler on the
Roof” with me and we were dating
during the production, and I had
just a tiny part but I was his first
kiss. Cut to 10 years later, or even
more, and we’re out at this place
called Rasputin, this incredible
gay club in Hollywood, and come
to find out, he’s making out with
my stylist. He’s still in it to win it,
and he’s just become a part of our
crew.
CA: You’ve been hanging
out with your gay friends in
West Hollywood a lot lately.
What’s been your most memorable gay night out?
KP: I don’t really decipher
it as gay night or straight
night; it’s the same night
continually. I came from a
really interesting perspective – interesting being
the keyword, because it
was obviously very sup-

THEATER REVIEW
Old Globe offers ‘winning’ and ‘splendid’ productions
Reviewed here, two shows from this year’s Shakespeare Festival pair well together
“Richard III”
Nothing less than winning
Jay Whittaker owns the Old
Globe’s outdoor stage as he
embodies the malformed Duke of
Gloucester in the current production of “Richard III,” part of the
Old Globe’s Shakespeare Festival
that runs through September 30.
Famed British director
Lindsay Posner takes on one of
the most difficult Shakespeare
tragedies and employs Whittaker
and a splendid cast with aplomb.
Many of these talented actors
are University of San Diego
grad students who turn out
performances on a minimalist
modern set that boasts graffiti
on concrete and brightly colored
murals. A diverse assortment
of costumes by Deirdre Clancy
that could be easily described
as vintage David Bowie, militar y
and contemporar y adorn the
players and mark their particular
assignments.
This complicated historical
drama allows for humor to make
brief appearances among the
bloody massacre of family and
accomplices that allow Richard to
briefly wear the crown.
Whittaker wastes no time
in displaying his humpbacked

human state, displaying his
leg brace, deformed arm and
crooked back. He also wastes no
time in displaying his arrogantly
bold confidence.
This production goes far to
simplify a quite complicated
history that chronicles Richard’s
plot to remove his brother as
King of England as well as others
along the way who might interfere in his ascendency to the
throne.
As part of this drama, a gleeful Richard spends a lot of time
comforting, threatening and
scolding the family members of
his victims, while offering up derogatory asides to the audience.
In turn, they scream and curse
at him with venom. Characteristically, he scoffs at them, and
unceremoniously tells them to
stop their whining and get a grip
on what’s left of their lives.
In the end, with his confidence
waning, Richard is stabbed to
death after a heated battle on stage.
Along the way to his end, Richard is visited by the ghosts of his
victims – quite a large gathering
– through a trap door. This scene
is visually splendid, offering up a
grouping of white-clad individu-
als crying out in unison
against the unbridled
butchery.

of “Richard III,” is a Shakespearean production to be enjoyed

great for a summer’s night in

“We in the South Bay feel that
it is important to support all of
the Pride events, including San
Diego Pride and North County
Pride,” Bair said. “It is great to
see the whole County celebrate
and come together – not only in
July but throughout the rest of
the year as well – in supporting
organizations that help build
community and work for equality
for ever yone. We look for ward to
celebrating with ever yone.”
Bair is one of many community members who will be sharing pride this weekend. Gay San
Diego Assistant Editor Morgan
Hurley reached out to several
other community members for
our second yearly Pride Guide
insert, and third year of Pride
coverage.
Called Community Voices,
the section features over 20
different – and wonderful – responses to the question, “What
does Pride mean to me?” It is
a splendid cross-section of our
community, and we encourage
you to read each one.
Also in the insert is a comprehensive listing of events happening all week, including the
first raising of the permanent
Pride flag on Normal Street, the
Hillcrest Business Association’s
Block Party and the complete
entertainment lineup for the
Pride Festival.
In addition to the regular
calendar in Gay San Diego, the
insert includes events, meetings
and celebrations from as many
aspects of our community as we
could print. While not exhaustive,
it provides a good place to start.
Rounding out the guide are

A
startup deli on Park
Boulevard has given
new meaning to the
acronym, BFD. Not to
be mistaken for “big freakin’ deal”
or its expletive usage, the owners
cleverly named the eatery after
their big front door, a $10,000
architectural wonder that leads to
some of the brightest sandwiches
I’ve seen since gourmet paninis
came into vogue.
The piston-driven glass door
comprises nearly the entire length
of the storefront and glides open
from a center pivot. It was created
by local designer Paul Basile, who
also bestowed his industrial styling on Bankers Hill Bar + Restaurant, Underbelly, Craft & Commerce and other neighborhood
restaurants. If there was ever a
door you wanted to push open
repeatedly, this is it, although the
general rule seems to be, “touch,
but don’t play with it.”
Skylights strewn across a
high, lumber ceiling add radiance to a large wood table used
for communal eating. Hanging
behind the deli counter are
menus for sandwiches and salads,
written on dropdown sheets of
butcher paper. The modern warehouse feeling is further accentuated by cinder-block walls and a
stainless steel kitchen sectioned
off by glass panels.
Co-owner Steve Riley smokes
and roasts a variety of meats that
end up between artisan breads
from Sadie Rose Baking Company, a local wholesaler that he
showcases from a retail rack on
weekends. Inside the deli case
are things like chipotle potato
salad, sesame coleslaw and pesto
orzo. The mac-n-cheese appeared
particularly alluring with its Provolone and house-smoked Gouda
peeking out from the layers. A
few bare spots still exist within
the case, but Riley assures that
he will soon stock it with additional savories, including meats

sold by the pound.
Salads involving mixed greens
and meats are made fresh and
served in cardboard boxes. There
are eight to choose from, including
one that combines shredded duck
with cranberries. As a trio, we
easily shared a “cobb-ler” that was
loaded with moist, smoked turkey

breast, hardboiled eggs, avocado,
tomatoes and creamy crumbles of
Maytag blue cheese. Little did we
know that our sandwiches would
be equally substantial.
A stacking of thinly sliced pork,
roasted with chilies, takes center
stage in “loins of fire.” Tucked into
a torpedo roll, it’s garnished with
pickled onions, lettuce, cilantro and
garlic aioli. We were immediately
wowed by its spicy-tangy kick
when passing it around.
Our jaws remained out of control when chomping into “Smokey
the meatloaf” on sourdough bread.
The meatloaf meets connoisseur
standards in that it’s made with
a mix of ground beef and pork,
resulting in a classic hot sandwich
deliciously elevated by melted
cheddar, house-made ketchup and
aioli.
A third sandwich we ordered
fell into the “seasonal” category,
which means it could disappear
next month or tomorrow. Constructed with seasoned-rubbed
roast beef that we saw pulled whole
from the oven, the added goodness came from a layer of smoked
Gouda, pepperoncinis and chipotle
mayo, leaving us plotting our next
visit while still stuffing our maws.
The beef resurfaces in a simpler sandwich called “the natural,”
which is served merely with jus
made from real-deal pan drippings.
Other temptations include pulled
pork with Five Spice; turkey with
candied-bacon stuffing; mock
meatball made with eggplant,
cheese and breadcrumbs; and
avocado lopped onto tomatoes and
“Parmesan crisps.”
Homemade cookies and an
inventory of nearly 40 different
types of bottled sodas with obscure
labels provide the sweet satiety
at BFD. Among them, you’ll find
Sprecher Gorilla Grape Soda from
Wisconsin and Double Cola from
Tennessee, considered sweeter
than Coke and slightly more
carbonated. Beverages extend
also to beer and wine, making this
a full-fledged sandwich shop that
happens to be marked by a very
uncommon front door.t

of the neighborhood, but [to] the diversity of
people who live, work and visit [in] the area.
They inspired me to take a more active role
in the community and always encouraged
me to be a leader in my neighborhood.”
In addition to their popular “HillQuest”
handbook, a supplemental website – HillQuest.com – is updated daily by the women
with news and changes that might affect the
community.
Electronic “flipbooks” – a digital version of every issue that has been produced over the past 10 years – can also be
found on the website for those wishing to
read a previous edition.
Although the focus has always been on
Hillcrest, Garwood said that by adding “and
Beyond” to the title, it gave them “license to
venture outside the boundaries of Hillcrest,”
and they do; not only when addressing historical factors of important landmarks such as
Balboa Park and the regional bridges, but also
by sharing fun and informative facts about
Hillcrest’s neighboring communities, today.
As the popularity of the handbooks grew
over the years, Moors said other communities around San Diego often came to them
with requests to start similar products for
their neighborhoods, but it just would not
have been the same.
“You gotta have the passion for the
neighborhood,” she said. In a word, that is
something the two women both fervently
share about Hillcrest: passion.
“All that we’ve learned, and doing that
learning together, has been one of the
most rewarding aspects of our community involvement. Being able to take the
passion we had for our own neighborhood
and share a publication that we enjoyed
working on with people who enjoy reading
about our older neighborhoods was very
rewarding,” Moors said.
“‘HillQuest’ opened the doors to meeting
many people and learning so much about
how the neighborhood ticks. It’s fun being
able to have a business that requires us to be
so involved in the community. It’s never been
work and to top it off we get to spend our
days together, too … we love each other and
the neighborhood created by so many over
the past century plus,” she said.
In addition to all the history and trivia
they have churned out over the years, the
couple has also found time to be involved in
a large number of local community organizations, many of which they founded themselves or helped establish.
Moors calls the Hillcrest Business
Association (HBA) the “oldest business
association” in San Diego and before leaving the HBA last year, Garwood had been
the longest-sitting board member, having
served all four executive directors starting
with Joyce Beers, namesake of the building
where the monthly meetings are now held.
Moors also spent a great deal of time
with the HBA, having served as both president and vice president over the years. Their
other involvements include: Hillcrest Town
Council, Hillcrest Clean Team, Save Hillcrest
and Uptown Parking District, to name a few.
In anticipation of their move to Bankers Hill, the pair are already involved in the
Bankers Hill Residents Group and Garwood
is a delegate for the neighborhood parking
committee, while Moors is on the Committee
of 100, a nonprofit designed to preserve the
Spanish colonial architecture of Balboa Park.
They named their Bankers Hill domicile
“The Meadows” after previous owner Elinor
Meadows, an art teacher and community
activist who helped save the Quince Street
pedestrian bridge across Maple Canyon near
the home. The house, which was registered
historical in 2007, hosts five, fully renovated
apartments overlooking the restored bridge
and was originally built as a boarding house.
From pushing for better parking options and use of parking funds, to leading
the resident’s charge to keep the current
low skyline intact, to cleaning its streets
and preserving its history, these dedicated women have “building community”
running through their veins.

DEEP INSIDE HOLLYWOOD
World.” Instead, like “Mamma Mia!”
it’ll focus on a group of women whose
lives are reflected in Spice Girls songs.
Makes sense because, you know, girl
power and all. And if nothing else, it’s
a reason to hope that the Mayans were
wrong about 2012. Because you know
you want to see this one.
Amber Heard (Photo by Peter Mountain)
Amber Heard in talks for ‘Paranoia’
Recession still got you down? Ever
thought of branching out and going
into the corporate spying business?
Well, according to Joseph Finder’s
best-selling novel “Paranoia,” this is
something you might consider. And
both lesbian actress Amber Heard and
“Hunger Games” star Liam Hemswor th
are considering taking roles in the film
version, to be directed by gay filmmaker Rober t Luketic (“Legally Blonde”).
The stor y involves a blue-collar worker
who becomes a corporate spy and gets
himself into hot water as a result. And
a hot suppor ting cast of A-listers like
Gar y Oldman and Harrison Ford are
already on board, which means that
the source material – the kind of pulpy
thriller you see left on airplanes after a
cross-countr y flight – might be getting
the kind of first-class treatment ever y
author dreams of when selling a book
to Hollywood. One request, respectfully
submitted: If Heard winds up moving
beyond the discussion phase, could she
please play someone who has something to do instead of just the passive
wife or girlfriend? Ever yone’s ready for
that by this point, right?
Magic Mike and the Spice Girls
coming to the stage
Not ones to let the bachelorette
par ty wind down so soon, Steven Soderbergh and Channing Tatum are about
to extend stripper drama “Magic Mike”
to Broadway as a musical. Working with
“Magic” screenwriter Reid Carolin, the
producing pair hopes to have a working,
functioning show up on stage by the
summer of 2013 starring hard-bodied
guys who can not only bump and grind
but sing their hear ts out, as well. Just
don’t call it “The Full Monty 2.” Now, if
“Mamma Mia! 2” is the first thing that
comes to mind when you learn about
“Viva Forever!,” who could blame you?
The long-gestating Spice Girls jukebox musical, written by “Absolutely
Fabulous” co-creator Jennifer Saunders,
opens on London’s West End in December of this year and is not a rehash of
the supergroup’s fantasy biopic “Spice
‘The Sound of Music’ climbs ever y
deliver y platform
It began its life as a stage musical
and became an award-winning box office smash movie that found enduring
life as a perennial TV favorite and then
new popularity as a “Rocky Horror
Picture Show”-style sing-along event,
complete with audience members
dressed as nuns. So what’s left for “The
Sound of Music”? What about if NBC
capitalized on “Smash” cult hit status
and brought the stage version back to
TV as a one-night-only event? Enter gay
producing team Craig Zadan and Neil
Meron, whose plans involve broadcasting the whole thing live. Sound crazy?
It’s not; in fact, they used to do it all the
time in the 1950s, when families would
sit around the TV together for that
kind of thing. Casting is under way and
airdate will be announced soon. And the
more you watch the more likely it’ll be
more than a one-of f experiment.
‘Boom,’ here’s Ron Perlman playing
transgender
“Frankie Go Boom” is coming. You
ready? It’s a sweet-natured romantic
comedy from writer/director Jordan
Rober ts and it stars “Sons of Anarchy”
regular Charlie Hunnam (he was also
par t of the original U.K. “Queer as
Folk” cast), Chris O’ Dowd (that cute
cop from “Bridesmaids”), Chris Noth,
Lizzy Caplan (“Two Broke Girls”) and
Ron Perlman. Perlman plays a transgendered woman and the character is
based on Rober ts’ sister, who used to
be his brother, which just goes to show
that real life doesn’t have to turn into
weird reality television – sometimes
it can inform oddball fiction instead.
What’s it about? Two brothers whose
love-hate relationship goes viral when
one of them pranks the other with an
Internet-leaked sex tape. Enter Perlman (looking like, well, a female Ron
Perlman) to help. How she helps isn’t
known at this point unless you jump the
gun and read reviews prior to the indie
comedy’s October opening. But you
can wait, right? Sure you can. This one
sounds like it rewards the patient.t

AB ETCHING
Abdominal etching takes liposuction
to the next level. It is a form of liposculpting that removes excess fat between the
abdominal muscles, creating indentations that resemble those seen on a
six-pack or washboard stomach. With ab
etching, your stomach can appear tighter,
firmer and more muscular.
Ab etching can be performed with
traditional liposuction or abdominoplasty,
but differs from these two procedures.
Liposuction of the abdominal area
removes pockets of fat, but does not
involve the same level of detailing as ab
etching. Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck,
removes extra fat and skin and tightens
the muscles in the abdominal wall, but
it is also less effective than abdominal
etching for fine-tuned sculpting
This liposculpting procedure may be
the final step in a dramatic transformation that starts with massive weight
loss and other cosmetic surgeries, or it
may be the sole procedure necessary
to do what all your Pilates and stomach
crunches can’t do.
Abdominal etching is not for
everyone. The ideal candidate should
be physically fit and have naturally
athletic-looking abdominal muscles but
with relatively small pockets of fat in
the abdominal area. If your total body
fat is more than 18 percent, you are
likely not an appropriate candidate for
abdominal etching.
The best way to assess your candidacy is to schedule a consultation with
Dr. Alfredo Harris a board-certified plastic surgeon. Start this process now.
The Abdominal Etching Procedure
Abdominal etching is performed
in our surgery center. Time in surgery is
about one hour. The procedure is performed with “twilight” anesthesia (you
are awake but not fully aware) regional.
You may be asked to contract your abdominal muscles before the procedure
so your surgeon can locate and mark
the areas where Dr. Harris will create
the indentations.
Next, your surgeon will create several
one- to two-millimeter incisions in your
belly button or within the natural creases
of your abdomen. Dr. Harris will then
insert a cannula (a tube-like instrument)
to remove excess fat and sculpt grooves
in the remaining fat to emphasize your
natural musculature.
After Abdominal Etching Surgery
Following your treatment, expect
some pain, swelling and bruising, all
of which can be managed with medications and proper care. Your surgeon
will fit you with a medical compression
garment that you must wear for about
three to six weeks. This will help minimize swelling. Your surgeon will give
you specific instructions about what you
can and can’t do in the days and weeks
after abdominal etching. This will include not lifting anything that weighs 10
pounds or more. You will be allowed to
shower within 48 hours after ab etching
surgery. Follow Dr. Harris’s instructions
to minimize your risk of complications.
You can resume normal activities
within one to three weeks. The full
results of abdominal etching are visible
within six months, but you will start
seeing some positive changes earlier.
Complications and Risks of
Abdominal Etching
Abdominal etching risks include
infection, bleeding and excessive scarring. There are also risks associated
with general anesthesia. Discuss all
the possible abdominal etching and
liposuction risk scenarios with your
surgeon.
Abdominal Etching Cost
Abdominal etching cost includes
three fees: anesthesia fees, facility
fees and surgeon’s fees. If you undergo
abdominal etching during traditional liposuction, you pay only one anesthesia
fee and facility fee for both procedures.
Average total fees range from $1,800
to $3,000. Prices vary based on the
liposuction technique—that is, whether
you opt for tumescent liposuction, laser
lipo or another method of fat extraction

suffered from the opposite of
pride: shame. We can congratulate ourselves on finding our
pride and making it strong and
solid.
So now what?
Out of curiosity, I did an Internet search for the word pride
and was reminded that it is considered one of the seven deadly
sins. Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth,
wrath and envy are the others.
Then, I was directed to “the
seven heavenly virtues.”
The vir tues – before they
were called heavenly - were
defined by the Greek philosophers Aristotle and Plato. When
they first came into being,
there were only four. It was not
until later that the other three
were added. Let’s take a look at
all seven and see if any of them
could be useful to us proud
LGBT individuals today.
Chastity: Well, what can I
say? It’s not up there in most
people’s priorities. However, let’s
dig a bit deeper. Could there be
some usefulness for us here? Do
we sometimes emphasize sex a
bit too much? I am proud to be a
sex-positive therapist, but
I wonder if a little chastity might sometimes be a
good thing. The definition
of chastity also includes
obstaining from sexual
misconduct. No games, no
lies and no bullshit. Let’s
also consider the friendship of romance – the
emotional connection in
sex – and cultivating good
health and hygiene as part
of a contemporar y definition of chastity.
Temperance: “What
the hell is that?,” you may
be asking. Temperance
is about moderation: not
going too far and finding
a middle path, as the Buddhists recommend. The
skillful use of restraint, mindfulness of other people, practicing
self-control and delayed gratification are other aspects of temperance. For any of us with tendencies toward addictive behavior,
temperance could be extremely
useful. Drama queens and control queens: this means you.
Charity: We think we know
what this means, but let’s
expand the definition to include
situations where we put others
first. It’s not just about benevolent giving. Do you know the
spiritual term agape? This is
charity at its best: aspiring to
unconditional love and forgiving
others for their mistakes. Even
right-wingers? Yes.
Diligence: Unless you’re a
lawyer, this isn’t a word you
We are strong,
that most of us aspire to. Kindness is about compassion, empathy and trust without prejudice
or resentment. As a proud LGBT
community, it’s easy to be kind
to people who love and support
us, but can we do the same to
people who are ignorant and
condemn us?
Humility: Outside of spiritual circles, this seems to be
rather passé, isn’t it? I love this
quote: “Humility is not
thinking less of yourself,
it is thinking of yourself
less.” Humility is a spirit
of self-examination and
courage of heart necessar y to undertake work
that is difficult, tedious or
unglamorous. It’s about
honoring those who have
wisdom, like our elders,
giving credit where credit
is due and not glorifying
yourself.
It seems ironic to
me that these seven
old-fashioned sounding
vir tues are actually quite
relevant to our community today. We have many
good reasons to be proud
of who we are, where
we came from and what we’ve
accomplished. Bravo! Good for
us, but since we’ve pretty much
got that down, I think it’s time
to ask: what’s next?
We are strong, we are smart
and we are powerful. Could our
next challenges be from growing
more patient, kind, temperate,
charitable, diligent, chaste and
humble?
See you at the parade.t
we are smart and we are
powerful. Could our next
challenges be from
growing more patient, kind,
temperate, charitable,
diligent, chaste and humble?
probably hear a lot. It’s about
being careful in your actions
and work, having a healthy work
ethic and the ability to not give
up when the going gets tough.
Can you do this at all times, even
when no one else is watching?
Patience: For many of us, impatience seems to be our middle
name. Living with patience is
about not giving up when things
don’t come quickly and easily. It
also includes resolving conflicts
peacefully and creating a sense
of peaceful stability and community rather than encouraging
hostility and antagonism. Patient
people have a quiet confidence:
they have the ability to keep
working, hold to their vision and
know that – eventually - good
things will come to them.
Kindness: Here is a virtue

community who have been
killed because of hatred and
bigotry,” CFAC Youth Outreach
Coordinator Joey Sago said in
a press release. Sago also said
they would bring information
about the “importance of inclusive history lessons” as well as
LGBT teen violence.
On June 23, two teenage girls
in a same-sex relationship were
shot in the head in Portland,
Texas. Mollie Judith Olgin, 19
years old, was found dead at
the scene and Mary Christine
Chapa, 18, was rushed to a
hospital. Chapa has been listed in
stable condition.
“Violence like this against
the LGBT community is a reality, but educating the public we
can combat the violence. We
have seen how incorporating
LGBT civil rights leaders into
history lessons has reduced
bullying in schools dramatically,” CFAC Director of Programs
Jersey Deutsch said in the
same release.
“We want to come together to
hold a candlelight vigil to honor
our brothers and sisters who
have lost their lives and recommit ourselves to empowering
school across San Diego to begin
implementing the FAIR Education Act immediately,” he said.
In response to the shootings,
the Human Rights Campaign
(HRC) released a statement,
where HRC President Chad Griffin expressed his condolences
and said, “Regardless of the motivation behind this tragedy, we
must send a strong message that
violence against anyone is never
acceptable. We have reached out
to law enforcement officials at
both the federal and local level,
and hope to see a thorough
investigation. These women,
and all victims of violent crimes,
deserve nothing less.”
CFAC statistics show
LGBT students are 63 percent
more likely to be bullied than
any other group of students,
and that every 30 minutes a
student commits suicide as a
result of being bullied. They
go on to assert that “positive
LGBT representation is vital” in
combating violence against our
community.
“Brandon Teena was murdered for being transgender in
1993. Matthew Shepard was killed
for being openly gay in 1998. Mollie Olgin was killed for being in a
relationship with another teenage
woman in 2012,” CFAC Field
Director Holly Hellersted said in
the same release. “Speak out and
remember the friends and family
we have lost because of the hate
and violence that continues to
perpetuate in this country.”
Following the CFAC vigil, San
Diego Remembers held a vigil in
response to the shooting, as well.
The organization was created in
2008 to honor Shepard’s memory, and stages a candlelight vigil
each year in October. On July 3,
San Diego Remembers met with
the community at the John Wear
Hate Crimes Memorial Plaque in
Hillcrest for a vigil and moment
of silence.
“All acts of violence are hateful,” Rick Cervantes, co-founder
of the organization, said in San
Diego Gay & Lesbian News. “We
believe it is important to stand up
for these members of our greater
LGBT community who have suffered a loss of life.”t

San Diego Open tennis
tournament
Every Fourth of July weekend,
the San Diego Tennis Federation
(SDTF) hosts its annual San Diego
Open tournament, open to players
from across the world. This year’s
event was held July 6 – 8 and was
hosted by four sites: the Balboa
Tennis Club, Peninsula Tennis Club,
the University of San Diego tennis
courts and City College tennis
courts. Players come primarily from
Southern California, but this year’s
tournament drew 182 entrants,
including some from as far away
Atlanta, New York City and Italy.

Hoffman pose together after the tournament. (Photo by Curk Janka)
The tournament structure consists of five divisions in both singles
and doubles match play: Open, A,
B, C and D, with A being the most
competitive skill level. The C division was the most populous, with 63
singles entrants and 26 doubles. B
was a close second, with 50 and 27
entrants respectively.
Overall, matches began at 8
a.m. and ran all day during the
three-day event. The C Division
Singles final matched a pair of
San Diegans, with Keith Millard
defeating Steve Cole 6-2, 6-0. The
C Doubles team of Kevin Mallery
and Moises Orozco brought home
San Diego’s other title, defeating
Sergio Cardenas and Justin Tran
6-2, 6-1.
“The weekend tournament
itself was a complete success,”
said co-tournament director Todd
Linke, who shares the leadership
duties with Andrew Hoffman. “It
ran smoothly at all sites. Everyone
seemed to really enjoy the competition, but most of all, the camaraderie and friendship. It also helped
that we had SDTF volunteers coming from out of the woodwork in
order to help. Some of them stayed
from six in the morning until as
late as 9 p.m. They were truly a
pleasure to work with.”
The athletes who traveled from
around the country were treated to
a Registration Party at the Balboa
Tennis Club House on July 5,
where they could check out the
courts, register and receive their
player swag bags. On Saturday,
July 7, SDTF hosted a banquet for
the players at the Lafayette Hotel,
where a raffle was held as part of a
community benefit.
The Gay/Lesbian Tennis Association (GLTA) is the organization
that sanctions all national LGBT
tennis tournaments, and requires
that each event be philanthropic
in nature. SDTF chose the Balboa
Warrior Athlete Program as its
benefactor this year, a program
that assists wounded military
veterans in learning the game of
tennis. Linke said he estimates that
the Open raised upwards of $2,000
for the program.
The SDTF is one of the oldest
and largest gay tennis leagues in
the nation and boasts over 200
members. Year-round, the organization holds events including
a Singles League, Team Tennis,
Promiscuous Doubles – where
partners swap every 20 minutes
– and the popular Friday Night
Doubles at Balboa Tennis Center
in Morley Field. Skill levels range
from beginners to experts. Membership is $40 per year and more
information on all of the great hard
court opportunities can be found

INTERVIEW
From page 11
KATY PERRY
pressing and sheltering. I was set
to think that gay people were an
abomination, so I was not allowed
to speak to anyone who was obviously fabulous and I was never
allowed to associate with that type
of people. Really, generally, I was
never allowed to associate with
anybody that wasn’t Christian. So
I was kind of trapped in a bubble,
and then it finally burst years
later. Now I think that 90 percent
of everyone I work with, from my
assistant to two out of three of my
managers, is either gay or lesbian.
It’s been an incredible journey of
acceptance and tolerance.
CA: Where are your parents
now on gay people?
gay-sd.com
KP: My parents have actually become more accepting and
tolerant now. We’ve all grown up
and evolved and broadened our
mindset. Sometimes people have
a really picky way of eating, right?
And they don’t like certain foods,
but a lot of times they haven’t
even tried those foods. Once they
try or know or get educated and
have the facts, they’re more comfortable and there’s no judgment
on your shrimp cocktail. I know
that sounds so strange, but it’s
this simple thing. A lot of people
just aren’t educated; they still
have this 1950s mindset, unfortunately.
CA: Are you saying that you’ve
tried the shrimp cocktail and gone
lesbian?
KP: I don’t know if it would be
appropriate for me to tell you what
my straight or gay [experiences]
have been in the past [laughs].
CA: You’ve said Madonna had
a lot of influence on this film, and
her 1991 documentary “Truth or
Dare” really resonated with the
gay community.
KP: Yes, and still continues to.
CA: Do you think “Katy Perry:
Part of Me 3D” will have a similar
effect on the gay community?
KP: I hope that people see
that they don’t have to change
themselves in order to achieve
their goals or dreams, and they
can accept the skin that they
live in and overcome obstacles
or judgments. The theme of this
movie is me overcoming obstacles:
where I came from, problems with
my record label and my personal
struggles. A lot of times, people
wanted me to be like someone
else or sing like someone else or
write like someone else. I wanted
to be the first Katy Perry, but they
couldn’t accept that. So hopefully people can come away from
[the film] saying, “I don’t have to
change myself. I don’t have to fit
in. I don’t have to be what someone else wants me to be in order to
reach my goals in life.”
CA: After what happened with
Gaga – where Madonna mashed
up “Born This Way” with “Express
Yourself” for her upcoming tour
and called Gaga “reductive” – are
you scared of being too inspired
by Madonna?
KP: No. I’m inspired by everyone, and you know, I think that the
queens love a little catfight every
once in a while. It’s good for the
cocktails and the conversation, I’ll
tell you that.
CA: “Ur So Gay” and “I Kissed
a Girl” didn’t sit well with some
of the gay community when they
came out. You obviously have a
huge gay following now, but did
you feel like you needed to prove
your authenticity after all the
uproar over those songs?
KP: I never really tr y and
tr y hard. I like things to roll out
naturally. People like to put me
in a box. From the first official
single, “I Kissed a Girl,” they always said I was a one-trick pony,
and I’ve always known what I
was gonna do next in my playby-play and how I was gonna roll
out the moments – and “I Kissed
a Girl” was the strongest song
for me at the time.
It was also on the tip of everybody’s tongue pop culturally, even
on television shows like “Gossip
Girl” people were talking about
it, and it was becoming more of
an accepted idea to be bi-curious
and to be bisexual. The song
just took it over the edge for the
public in some ways, but I think
that anybody who saw a confusing
message in those songs was either
looking for a fight or taking it
completely out of context. Anyone
that really understood the songs
understood the songs for what
they were.
CA: Now that more gay
couples are able to legally marry,
what would you tell them about
marriage from your own experience?
KP: It’s everybody’s individual
experience. I think you can be in
love without walking down the
aisle, or you can walk down the
aisle and be in love, but everybody
deserves that choice and I think
that equality is very important.
People ask me questions about the
whole Obama thing and him coming out and saying it publicly, and
I’m like, ‘I hope soon enough we’ll
look back and say to ourselves
how ridiculous it was to think this
way, just like it was during the civil
rights movement.’ We’re embarrassed. And it is completely embarrassing. We’re a young country
and we’re developing slowly; we’re
not as cultured as the Europeans.
But that’s OK. We’re gonna get
there, and hopefully there will be
more tolerance in the world very
soon and we won’t make the same
mistake twice.
CA: You’ve shot whipped
cream and fireworks out of your
boobs –
KP: Actually, if you look at the
placement of those fireworks, they
come from my spirit [laughs], but
I know people love going straight
to the tits. They’re a big target on
me.
CA: If you could shot anything
else out of your boobs, what would
it be?
KP: I’m gonna shoot down
hate. I’m gonna shoot down all the
people that hate, that sip on our
haterade, that hate just to hate. I’m
gonna shoot them down, but I’m
gonna shoot them down with love
bullets. And they’re non-violent.
They don’t even hurt you. Like
a Cupid’s arrow, they just turn
you into a more tolerant, loving
person.t
