Broadway St.), Lakeview Pantry has ‘Glee’ been a nonprofit mainstay in Chicago’s geo- graphic LGBT community, a local magnet for those looking to volunteer their time or money to have an immediate impact on the lives of the hungry. Members of the LGBT community take part in the pantry’s operation at every level from full-time staff to volunteers to clients. For all of them, Lakeview Pantry does more than provide BISEXual a vital service, but a safe space welcoming of all people. BOXING Open since 1970, the pantry distributes gro- REPORTER cery bags containing two weeks worth of grocer- PAGE 34 ies to 2,800 clients per month with the help of as many as 140 volunteers per week and 10 full- time staff members. In addition to grocery dis- tribution through its North Broadway and 1414 W. Oakdale Ave. locations, the pantry provides clothing and household goods, a home-delivery service, case management services and more. Yet, judging by the large murals painted on the distribution area walls, the bouquets of flowers and the mere fact that the pantry is described as a “client choice model,” it’s clear that Lakeview page 24 Pantry values the quality of the experience for all who must rely on it. “One thing we like to say is how we do our work is as important as what our work is,” said Executive Director Gary Garland.

    PHENOMENAL BODIES, PHENOMENAL GIRLS: HOW YOUNG ADOLESCENT GIRLS EXPERIENCE BEING ENOUGH IN THEIR BODIES by HILARY ELIZABETH HUGHES (Under the Direction of Mark D. Vagle) ABSTRACT Drawing on philosophers (Ahmed, 2006; Fanon, 1986; Heidegger, 1927, 1962, 1992; Merleau-Ponty, 1962) and social science scholars (Dahlberg, Dahlberg, & Nystrom, 2008; Vagle, 2009, 2010, 2011; van Manen, 1990, 2000) for this phenomenological study, I asked what it was like for the seventh grade girls who participated with me in a year-long writing group to experience moments where they found themselves in bodily-not-enoughness: moments when someone or something was telling them they were not enough of something in their bodies. Using a multigenre magazine format for the dissertation, I describe how I learned—as an adult, a qualitative researcher, a middle grades teacher, and a teacher educator—from these seventh grade girls how to be-enough in my own body, by illustrating various moments when some of the girls seemed to talk-back-TO those societal messages telling them they were not pretty- enough, thin-enough, English-speaking-enough, white-enough, popular-enough, or smart-enough by embodying some kind of resistance-to those messages. I then suggest that if we as adults, qualitative researchers, middle grades educators, and teacher educators wish to try and understand better how female young adolescents of color experience living in their bodies, we should begin listening differently so that we can begin seeing/knowing/thinking the bodies of young adolescents,

  • Finalist Cirque Zuma Zuma, Known As
    Authenticity shines like a beacon. SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 2014 It can’t be manufactured and isn’t a commodity for sale. It carries the potency of truth and the sting of conviction. It’s the real deal, and it’s the essence of MCA Nashville www.drakewhite.com newcomer Drake White. SPECIAL GUEST When White sings “I’m a fan of beer ice cold, of waving at my neighbor when I meet him on the road, kissing on my woman in the moonlight. Yeah I’m a fan of the simple life,” it sounds like more than just a hit debut single. It sounds like the start of a great conversation with a new friend, and that’s just the way the Hokes Bluff, Alabama, native intends it. “One of my favorite things to do is share music with people,” says White, who has toured with Willie Nelson and opened for Eric Church, Kid Rock, Alan Jackson, Little Big Town and others. “I hope that my music gives you some kind of hope, something bigger than just the music that you can relate to, and it helps you get through the day.” The young singer/songwriter wrote or co-wrote each of the album’s 12 tracks and co- produced with Jeremy Stover. The songs reverberate with an appreciation for the things that mean the most in life as well as an infectious appetite for enjoying a good time and making the very most of every moment. It was there that his energetic live show started drawing attention, and Stover became one of White’s biggest supporters, bringing Music Row pals out to see his show.

    DeCaro, Frank (b. 1962) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Frank DeCaro on the set of the Game Show Entry Copyright © 2006 glbtq, Inc. Network's I've Got a Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Secret in 2006. Courtesy the Game Frank DeCaro has found success both in serious journalism as a fashion writer and Show Network. editor and in comedy as a writer, performer, and radio talk show host. Frank DeCaro's future existence came as a great surprise to his parents, Frank and Marion LaRegina DeCaro. After a decade of marriage, during which they had endured the painful experience of three miscarriages, they had given up the hope of having children, but when Marian DeCaro underwent an operation for a tumor in 1962, the couple learned that she was once again pregnant. Their only child was born in New York City on November 6 of that year. DeCaro grew up in nearby Little Falls, New Jersey in a household that included his maternal grandmother, who lived in the basement and "ruled the roost." When he was a toddler, his father suffered a heart attack and survived but, DeCaro wrote, "stopped dreaming and lost any semblance of playfulness he ever had." As a result of his father's emotional withdrawal, the boy became especially close to his mother. DeCaro's childhood was a mixture of Catholic Italian-American experience, pop culture, drag Halloween costumes, homophobic gym teachers, and Advanced Placement courses. In A Boy Named Phyllis: A Suburban Memoir (1996) he recounts this mélange with characteristic humor; nevertheless, he also speaks touchingly of the pain of being "different," enduring bullying and slurs from schoolmates, and getting very little support from teachers who could and should have intervened to stop the abuse.

Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).
