said it should come down. African-American men are beaten by police in cities
across the nation and the unemployment
rate for black men is nearly twice the rate
of that for white men. According to the
New York Times, Nationally, 21.6 percent
of black youths are neither working nor
in school, compared with 20.3 percent of
Native Americans, 16.3 percent of Latinos, 11.3 percent of whites and 7.9 percent of Asians. The feeling of despair in
poor communities breeds violence both
within and against the community. With
this background Republicans are still trying to curb voting rights for minorities
and the poor in states across the nation
making it even harder for them to participate in our democracy.
Women ostensibly have equal rights
yet there is a concerted eort across the
nation to take away their right to control
their own healthcare and they still earn
less than men for the same jobs. The last
eort to pass an equal rights amendment
(ERA), rst introduced in 1923 and nally
passed by Congress in 1972, failed. It was
sent to legislatures for ratication, but
only 35 of the necessary 38 states ratied
it before a 1982 deadline.
So what does this tell us in the LGBT com-
versity and gender equality in our leadership a result of this racism and sexism?
Can we really move forward to change
the hearts and minds of the community
at large without doing the work we need
to do within our own community?
Speaking from her heart to the U.S.
Conference of Mayors, Hillary Rodham
Clinton spoke truth when she said, Race
remains a deep fault line in America. She
went on to say, Once again our country is
trying to make sense of violence which is
senseless. In this time of tragedy many of
us struggle to process our rush of emotions and gure out how to turn grief and
confusion into action. It is tempting to believe that in America bigotry is behind us
and that institutionalized racism is a thing
of the past. Many of us hoped by electing
our rst black president we turned the
page on this history But we have not, so
we need to have this discussion no matter how dicult it is.
Our community, too, needs to have
this discussion if we are ever to see acceptance for us. We need to determine
what action we will take both as individuals and a community to ensure our own
hearts and minds are open as we ght to
open the hearts and minds of others.

toric homeland. In fact, it is this hostility that led to the ongoing military occupation: In June 1967 Israel launched
a pre-emptive strike against its Arab
neighbors, who had begun a blockade
and were threatening Israel with imminent annihilation and subsequently took
control of the West Bank (then held by
Jordan), from which numerous terrorist
attacks had been launched against Israel
since its birth in 1948.
These are not incidental details; they
are necessary to consider if you are to
discuss the conict thoughtfully rather
than using selective details in an attempt
to undermine the legitimacy of the State
of Israel. I choose my words carefully
here, given that Palestinian Queers for
Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions rail
against Israels occupation not since
1967, but since 1947 when the United
Nations passed the resolution leading to
Israels establishment.
I might also note that Shams raises not
Israel is a piece of crude, malicious agitprop. The world is not divided neatly into
oppressors and oppressed, contrary to
Mr. Shams ideology.
Are the Palestinians, who have turned
down peace oers by Israel (notably, in
2000, 95 percent of the West Bank and all
of Gaza), who dig tunnels into Israel from
which to cause mayhem and who lob missiles into Israel, simply victims of oppression who have had no role in their plight?
And in any case, should the LGBT community ally itself, as Shams insists we
must, with a group that itself oppresses
LGBT people?Does he not know that men
having sex with men in Gaza face up to 10
years in prison?
Perhaps the Blade might devote some
space in the future to highlighting the difcult lives of LGBT people in Palestinianadministered West Bank, in Gaza, and in
the countries that surround Israel.

How long have you been out and who
was the hardest person to tell?
Since I was 18; hardest people to tell
were my parents.

Frederick Pride has exploded in growth over its three-year history. The rst
event, held in 2012, attracted about 300 people. In 2013, 1,000 came. Last
year, about 3,000 attended. This year, organizers expect between 3,000-5,000.
Located about 45 miles from Washington, Frederick Pride, organized by the
Frederick Center, has its OUT on the Creek event Saturday from noon-6 p.m.
at Carroll Creek Linear Park between Market and Carroll streets in downtown
Frederick. About 75 organizations will set up booths and all the usual Pride
amenities food, entertainment, games, non-prots, bands, drag, DJs,
dancing and more will be there. Details at thefrederickcenter.org.
Peter Brehm works by day at the IT help desk at Hood College and has been
involved with Frederick Pride since its inception. Hes particularly delighted by
the bevy of proclamations the committee has received from local and federal
government including the White House and says its important for LGBT
people to stay vigilant.
Bodies equal votes, the Philadelphia native, who lived in Washington from
1983-2005, says. I want everybody to appreciate the size and commitment of
the LGBTQ community and our allies. If were not watchful, were doomed. The
religious right and the Koch brothers and all these other idiots are on the prowl.
Its important for the LGBTQ community to gather at least once a year and with a
little sass and panache, celebrate how far weve come and where we need to go.
Brehm is married to John Day and they reside in Fredericks College Park
neighborhood. Brehm enjoys gardening, exercise and movies in his free time.

Over the course of one hot summer night at the family estate in Mississippi,
alcoholic former football hero Brick and his beautiful but sexually frustrated
wife Maggie the Cat become front and center as their troubled relationship
comes to a stormy and steamy climax, and a shockwave of secrets are nally
revealed.
Chamber Dance Project breaks creative and conceptual bounds with works of
sweeping athleticism, artful sensuality, arresting emotional shifts, and a power
that lingers long after the curtain.

Once upon a time, those words were

You learned then that a made bed didnt

Wonderful by Bob Morris, sometimes
its better to ignore perfection and focus
on a life, or lives, well-lived.
As Bob Morris watches his husband Ira
struggle with his mothers aging issues,
Morris understands the emotions Iras
going through. Caring for an elderly
parent, has become the new normal
Morris says, and he should know: he
helped tend to his own parents at the
ends of their lives.
As his mother lay dying rst, Morris
remembered how, when he was a child,
she encouraged him to see beauty in
the world around him. She loved music
and was a good mother whose messy,
painful death brought out the worst in
Morris and his brother. Oh, how they
fought, though her passing also showed
Morris how much he truly loved and
admired his older sibling.
At the funeral, Morris only wanted to
talk about his mother but nobody seems
to know how.
Not long afterward, on a sunny
summer Monday, Morris father tried to
commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping
