The building at 2009 8th St., N.W., which is home to Town, was sold.
Fanning and the other ve gay candidates were among a total of 60 candidates
committed to Clinton competing for just 13 elected delegate seats at a pre-primary
Democratic Caucus held on May 21 at the Walter Washington Convention Center.
A seventh gay candidate, Democratic activist and City Council staer David Meadows,
withdrew his candidacy, saying he plans to seek one of ve appointed add-on delegate
positions up for grabs in June.
According to preliminary results released by the D.C. Democratic Party, which
organized the caucus, Fanning came in second place behind D.C. Council member Jack
Evans (D-Ward 2) and ahead of local union leader Jos Williams. The three were among
18 male candidates running for three delegate seats in a section of the city deemed
District 1, which includes Wards 1,2,6 and 8.
Gay candidates Peter Rosenstein, Gregg Moreland, Richard Lum and Mark Spengler
ran and lost their races in that district. Gay candidate James Brexley Wyatt lost his
race as a Clinton delegate candidate in District 2, in which a total of nine candidates
competed for three male delegate seats.

Blade: When she rst came into the bathroom were you
in a stall?
Belcher: When she rst came in the bathroom I was
in the stall. And the whole time I was in the stall she had
the entrance area to the bathroom door open. She was
hollering, calling obscene gestures and names while I was
in the restroom. I said maam can I at least she said no. So
I left the restroom. I made a left to go to the Giant to go use
the Western Union. And as I was exiting the restroom she
grabs me by my arms, spins me around grabbing me by my
back and pushes me out of the door.
I said maam do you know I work for the HRC? She said I
dont give an F who you work for. They didnt pass the law. I
knew you were a man when you rst walked into the Giant.
You had no right coming into the females bathroom. I said
maam I didnt pass myself as a transgender woman. I said
I have I.D. Im legally a woman. She said I dont care what
you are. You are not supposed to use the females restroom.
They did not pass the law yet.
And upon her pushing me all the way out of the Giant,
a Giant employee was at the doorway the whole time she
was making those derogatory slurs while I was using the
restroom. She was invading my privacy, my personal space,
my human rights. It was totally embarrassing and I felt
horrible about that. And just now I had to use the restroom.
I was distraught going into the restroom in public places
now because of this incident. I dont know whether or not
someone is going to come behind me and try to attack me
again for using the restroom because thats who I am.
Blade: You mentioned you are working at HRC. When did
you start there?
Belcher: I started working at HRC Human Rights
Campaign on Friday of last week.
Blade: After you were pushed out of the store were you
on the street?
Belcher: No, when she pushed me out of the door Im
sorry, as she was pushing me out of the door out of the
Giant I said maam, do you know I have Parkinsons disease?
I said I battle with walking every day and you pushed me I
almost fell and once I got out of the door I got in my truck,
my van, and I pulled o and I went around the corner. And
while I was driving around the corner I dialed 911. I reached
the dispatcher.
And then the police ocers came. They were nice to me.
They assisted me in the whole situation.
Blade: And they interviewed you?
Belcher: They interviewed me.

TEL AVIV LGBT women ask for medical services less than straight women,
and when they do ask for such services they may well encounter a humiliating
attitude and lack of understanding on the part of medical sta, according to a
recent Israeli study on LGBT womens use of medical services, Haaretz reports.
Dr. Ruth Gophen conducted the study with her colleague Dr. Gal Wagner of
Tel Avivs Gan Meir Clinic.
In recent years research has been published around the world that shows
LGBT women request less medical services, but no such study had been
conducted in Israel until now, Haaretz quoted Gophen as having said. Our
study shows that although the awareness of the issue in Israel is growing and
improving, LGBT women may still encounter an insulting and hurtful attitude on
the part of the medical sta while receiving medical services.
These are some of the ndings of a study conducted of some 1,100 women,
in advance of the Talking About Health With Pride conference, which will be held
as part of the International Health Conference on Womens Health, being held
this week under the auspices of the Tel Aviv municipalitys Tel Aviv Pride Festival,
along with the Tel Aviv Municipal LGBT Community Center and Gan Meir Clinic,
Haaretz reports.
Some 1,100 women of all ages, including 582 LGBT women and 518 straight
women participated.The study showed that LGBT women request signicantly
fewer medical services, including checkups by gynecologists. Only 9 percent of
straight women have never been examined by a gynecologist, while the gure is
twice as high, 185, for LGBT women.
Partly as a result, LGBT women undergo fewer essential tests such as
mammography to diagnose breast cancer and Pap smears to nd cervical
cancer, compared to straight women. Half of bisexual women and 32 percent
of gay women have never had a Pap smear, compared to only 24 percent of
straight women. In addition, only 71 percent of bisexual women have a regular
family doctor, compared to 81 percent of straight women and 80 percent of gay
women, Haaretz reports.
The dierences do not end with just the frequency of medical tests and
checkups, but also point out an at times humiliating attitude toward the women
in the LGBT community. The study found that 15 percent of LGBT women who
requested medical services reported suering from an insulting attitude on
the part of the medical sta, and 17 percent of LGBT women reported they
encountered a lack of knowledge on the part of the medical sta concerning
their sexual orientation or identity, the Haaretz article notes.
A higher percentage of transgender women reported their doctors refused to
treat them or would only address them as men, the article said.

the headline would have been: Most Qualied Man Conrmed to Run the Army and
then could have added Who Also Happens
to Be Gay.
It must be a dream of Eric Fannings one
day to be written about without the word
gay in front of his name as if it was actually
his rst name. One day they will simply write
Eric Fanning, brilliant and qualied Secretary
of the Army, was the rst man to serve in a
leadership capacity in three branches of the
military.
Eric has already had an illustrious career.
He was on the sta of the House Armed Services Committee and served in two positions
for the president, rst as a special assistant
in the Immediate Oce of the Secretary of
Defense and then as associate director of
political aairs in the White House.
His career has included working at the
Business Executives for National Security, a
D.C.-based think-tank and at Robinson, Lerer & Montgomery, a strategic communications rm in New York. At the Department
of Defense he served as deputy undersecretary and deputy chief management ocer
for the Department of the Navy and deputy
director of the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism.
as gay said, Before the repeal of the militarys Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy in 2010,
E.J. would have been discharged from the
Army, and we would have lost an incredible talent. Thanks for your courage, E.J.,
and I expect were going to hear big things
from you, pal. So at West Point Saturday
morning Fanning saw one of his troops, the
newly minted second Lieutenant Coleman,
a young African-American gay man from
Virginia, lead his graduating class. Both
these men make our country and the LGBT
community proud.
But there was a downer this week that
shows us vigilance is still needed. The San
Diego Gay Mens Chorus was heckled o
stage and not allowed to sing at a San Diego
Padres baseball game. The team issued the
following apology: This evening during the
pre-game ceremony a mistake was made in
the Petco Park control room that prevented
the San Diego Gay Mens Chorus from performing the National Anthem as scheduled.
We apologize to anyone in the ball park who
this may have oended, and have reached
out to the chorus to express our deep regret
for the error.
Clearly they miss the point. They should
be apologizing to all Americans who should
be oended by what happened.

thats happened before, with Andrew Jackson

his now-distant era, were as racist as Jackson;
and ofcoursewith FDR in the 1930s, when
huge Democratic majorities in Congress,
elected on Roosevelts coat-tails, enacted
Social Security.Inotherwords, standing tall
instead of kneeling.
But whats so wrong with Hillary? So you

A decades-long protest of the Washington Redskins team name quickly imploded last week. It also died quietly, with
most among the hipster thought-class of
local writers and bloggers allowing the
moment to pass unremarked.
Longtime mascot critic and Washington
Post columnist Robert McCartney was an
exception to the relative silence. The associate editor penned as opening line in
a published announcement he was dropping his editorial protest of the moniker,
Its humbling to admit it, but [Redskins
team owner] Dan Snyder wins.
Observers speculate that the public
demise of this once-trendy controversy
paves the way for the NFL franchise to
return to D.C. from a remote stadium in
suburban Maryland to its namesake city
free of local politicians fretting over it.
All without further maligning the team
owner or otherwise manufacturing opposition to the team name by making its
revision a condition for relocating to the
District.
The source of this game-changing development was the release of a Washington Post poll indicating that only nine
percent of Native Americans consider
the name oensive. This result mirrored
a similar 2004 national survey, revealing that more than a decade of outsized
complaint by dozens of Native American
organizations and group leaders had no
eect on opinion.
Barely a quarter of D.C.-area residents
thought the team name should change
in a most recent Post poll, even fewer
among all Americans in an ESPN national
poll. As one wag quipped, I think Washington is the pejorative term, not Redskins.
This clarity of reaction will likely also
doom the federal administrations legal
challenge to the team trademark, given the
inability to demonstrate that it is considered
a slur by a preponderance of either Native
Americans or the American public.

With boxes stacked to the ceiling, physical theatre artist Geo Sobelle
transforms Stage 4 into a storage facility of epic proportions. Hilarious
and heartbreaking, this immersive performance-installation unpacks our
relationship to the stu we cling to and the crap we leave behind.
After years of successfully plying their trade around the world, acclaimed
magicians Brian Curry and Mark Phillips have decided this town isnt big
enough for them both. In Catch Me, these two sleight-of-hand masters battle
live, on stage for the title of Washington DCs Favorite Magician.
Jazz in the Garden kicks o with the19th Street Band,who could be summed
up with the phrase, old school. The free concert series features an array
of jazz artists performing a wide variety of styles including salsa, blusion,
xylophone, and Afrofunk. Performances take place every Friday evening from
5:00 pm to 8:30 pm. See CultureCapital.com for the full schedule.
