Congratulations to:
Mark Aronchick, Ally of the Year
On July 9, 2013, volunteer counsel, Mark Aronchick,
along with the American Civil Liberties Union and the
ACLU of PA, led a federal lawsuit on behalf of 23
Pennsylvania residents seeking the freedom to marry.
On May 20, 2014, Judge John E. Jones III, ruled in favor
of the freedom to marry, striking down PAs ban on
marriage for same-sex couples. Aronchick, a steadfast
ally to our community, played a pivotal role in making
the Pennsylvania state legislature recognize LGBTQ
individuals as equal citizens under the law. We applaud
Mark for his commitment to equality and justice.

The Attic assists youth and young adults in developing
essential life skills in the areas of job readiness,

A new entrance to the Center
One of the key principles of our Center is
to create the most welcoming experience
possible for the people who walk through
are doors. In order to do this, we want
people to enter the Center feeling excited
and proud about their LGBT home. Over the
past six months, Id become committed to
restoring the entryway to the Center, with its
six beautiful marble steps that had become
damaged over decades of use.
Our Board Member and Facilities Chair Paul
Steinke put me in touch with John Carr
of Materials Conservation. John visited and
let us know that the experts at his company
could nd marble pieces to match the
original and through a Dutchman repair
return the steps to close to their original
glory. This job has been completed and Im
very proud of our glowing new entrance (see
picture.)
I want to thank a number of donors who
stepped up to raise the funds necessary
for the restoration of the steps: George
Dobash is a long time friend of the Center
who had early on expressed interest to me
in funding the repair of the marble steps to
improve the beauty of the entranceway and
make sure that the steps were safe. He made
a very generous gift on top of his original
advice! Thank you George! Thanks also
to Jen Vrana and the Leather Leadership
Conference for making a very large gift in
support of this project. Finally, thanks to the
Philadelphians M.C. who have been raising
building funds for the Center for a number of
years now.
Under Paul Steinkes leadership, the Center
will be focusing on a number of project-
based efforts in improving our building
over the next year. This is a wonderful way
to contribute to the Center--- through the
funding of improvements to our beautiful
old building. Please reach out to me at 215-
732-2220 if you are interested in making a
gift towards capital improvements on our
building.
Womens Field Day
On Saturday, August 23rd, the Center hosted
its second Womens Field Day at the beautiful
Germantown Victorian home of Kim Brown
and Laurie Flint (thank you Kim and Laurie
for your hospitality!). Despite occasional
rain showers, over fty women showed
up (and stayed!) to play eld games, eat
delicious food (from Giorgios on Pine) and
enjoy each others company. Im grateful to
William Way board members Chris Durr,
Bob Lenahan, Leona Thomas, and Amber
Hikes who helped organize this wonderful
event. As I said to the assembled visitors, Im
committed to having the William Way provide
increased programs to lesbians, bisexual and
transgender women and to increase womens
leadership at the Center.
Creating Change 2017
I was pleased to welcome my old friend
Sue Hyde, director of the National Gay
and Lesbian Task Forces Creating Change
conference, to the Center for a champagne
toast on Tuesday, August 26th. Hyde and
colleagues were visiting Philadelphia to
consider it as the site for the 2017 Creating
Change conference, which would bring over
5,000 LGBT visitors of all ages to the City.
I was joined by DVLF executive director
Samantha Giusti as we made the pitch
with colleagues James Delmar and Greg
DeShields of the Philadelphia Convention
and Visitors Bureau. Following the meeting,
we were all quite condent that Philadelphia
may be chosen for the 2017 conference.
Stay tuned for what would be a huge victory
both for our City and its LGBT communities.
Gratitude
In my job, there are many people to be
thankful forwhether staff, volunteers
(including our great Board), and our very
generous donors. This month I want to
acknowledge two folks in particular- Arthur
Kaplan and Duane Perry- who have been
longtime and very generous supporters to
the Center. Arthur and Duane bring vision,
wisdom and energy to the projects they
approachwhether focusing on the needs
of LGBT homeless youth, or advising me on
the best approaches for our 2015 Reminder
Day exhibition. Thank you Arthur and Duane
for making such a big difference in not
only our LGBT communities, but also our
communities at large.
With appreciation,
Chris Bartlett

ZAP!
Since the early 1970s, Philadelphias LGBT community has been
making its voice heard in city politics. In October of 1971, three
Philadelphia gay activist organizationsthe Homophile Action
League (HAL), Radicalesbians, and The Gay Activists Alliance
(GAA)staged a series of zaps on the headquarters of mayoral
candidates Frank Rizzo and Thacher Longstreth. Zaps were
boisterous spontaneous appearing demonstrations popularized by
early activist groups to embarrass public gures or institutions. They
contrasted with the previous peaceful picket lines of the 1960s and
pre-shadowed the disruptive guerilla-theatre tactics that ACT-UP
would use later in the 1990s.
Frank Rizzo had risen to fame as a hard-nosed Philadelphia Police
Commissioner from 1967 to 1971. He was tough on crime, tough on
blacks, and he was tough on gays; to many Philadelphians, Rizzo
was either a saint or a demon. The zaps occurred because both
Princeton-graduate Longstreth and tough-cop Rizzo had refused
to answer HALs demand that they state their position on gay rights.
When they did mention gay issues, it was only to talk about cleaning
up Locust Street to help them gain anti-gay support.
In November, Democrat Rizzo defeated Republican Longstreth with
54% of the vote. According to author Marc Stein, Radicalesbians
newsletter responded by offering condolences on the passing of the
late Metropolis of the City of Sisterly and Brotherly Love.
Despite the Rizzo election, the unagging activism of local groups
like HAL, GAA, and Radicalesbians ensured that Philadelphias LGBT
community would become the essential part of Philadelphia politics
it is today.

SPEAKING OUT: QUEER
YOUTH IN FOCUS
This month in the
John J. Wilcox, Jr.
archives exhibition
gallery, the Center
welcomes artist
and activist
Rachelle Lee
Smith. From
October 1 through
October 31, 2014,
Smith will present
her work, Speaking
Out: Queer Youth
in Focus, which
is an ongoing
photographic
essay that gives
members of the
LGBTQ community
a voice. Over the
last decade Smith
has worked both as
artist and activist to
use photographic
portraits with the
subjects own
words to highlight
the myriad
differences and
commonalities
of queer identity.
Speaking OUT is a unique photographic archive that provides rare insight into the
passions, confusions, prejudices, joys, and sorrows felt by queer youth over the
past ten years.
My subjects have been shot against a stark white backdrop not to single them
out, but rather to eliminate environmental inuence. Without an environment to
give contextual clues or text to tell their story, these people are presented without
judgment and stereotype. Only when the subjects handwritten text is added to
their portrait do we discover their commonalities and their individual stories. What
makes this body of work so powerful is not only that each individual youth is given
the spotlight and a chance to have a voice, but also the strength of the group as a
whole, says Smith.
Smith also celebrates the release of her new book detailing the project with a free
community event at the William Way Center on Friday, October 10th from 6 to 9pm.
Festivities will include performances from the Attic Youth Center, a photographic art
gallery, book signing, and more.
The collection of voices captured by Speaking OUT: Queer Youth in Focus strives
to raise awareness by reinforcing the idea that there is strength in numbers, power
in words and freedom in art and we couldnt be happier to have it in the archives
gallery this October.
