  • Equality Winner’S Name Here | Company Name
    2019 THE NATIONAL LAW JOURNAL EQUALITY WINNER’S NAME HERE | COMPANY NAME Jeffrey S. Trachtman Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP Jeff Trachtman served as chair of Kramer Levin’s pro bono committee for 17 years. “The firm has been involved in LGBTQ equality issues go- ing back to the formation of GMHC, in 1981, as recounted in ‘The Normal Heart,’ a play about the early days of AIDS by Larry Kramer, whose brother was a firm founder. In the 1990s, I was asked to do an amicus brief in Boy Scouts v. Dale— what we used to call the ‘Homo 101’ brief, educating the courts about gay peo- ple. Later, we co-counseled with Lambda Legal on New York’s marriage equality challenge, Hernandez v. Robles.” Trachtman and the firm helped win one of the nation’s first rulings for marriage equality in that case. Although it was reversed on appeal in 2006, “there was such a backlash that the state assembly passed a marriage bill a year later, and the state senate followed in 2011. So our case did have an impact.” Trachtman has also filed Supreme Court amicus briefs in cases like Windsor, Obergefell, and Mas- terpiece Cakeshop representing “a wide range of mainstream religious groups favoring equality” and recently filed a similar brief in Bostock v. Clayton County, “which will determine whether Title VII covers gay and trans people.” Earlier, Trachtman also represented the lesbian partner of a 9/11 victim “seeking recognition as a surviving spouse under the Victims’ Fund.” Trachtman sees a mixed picture for the future.

Opponents purchased newspaper advertisements which charged that the publicly funded production promoted a "homosexual, anti-family lifestyle." They held a rally, which attracted approximately 1,200 demonstrators. SMSU's attorney argued that the First Amendment barred cancellation ahsent substantial government interest, and asserted that the play was not obscene. Play opponents did not raise constitutional arguments, but suggested that freedom without commitment to moral order amounted to a "free-for-all." Some proponents of the production used the occasion to further AIDS education, while others labelled the play's critics as bigots. An arson incident brought national attention to the controversy and accusations from both sides in the dispute. The universi:4 formed a committee to oversee security for the play's performances.

  • Michael Warren Powellis
    WELCOME to the Fifteenth Annual Last Frontier Theatre Conference. We at Prince William Sound Community College are very proud of this event, and hopefully by the end of the week you will see why. I started coming to Valdez (for the Conference) in 1995, its third year, and it became an annual pilgrimage for me. I quit jobs to make it here. I ran up credit cards. I did whatever it took for me to get to spend the week here. I crashed on the floor at the college, survived off the food at receptions, and worked on whatever anyone asked me to. No one was more important to me in those early years than Michael Warren Powell, the first coordinator of the Play Lab. I remember being in awe of how insightful the responding panel was critiquing plays that were all (in my opinion) pretty problematic. Michael and the other panelists became my idols. Which made it all the more important to me when one day I was hanging out with friends at the picnic tables in the middle of the park strip and we saw Michael walking our direction. He came up and engaged us in conversation, and we became friends. He let us know that he considered us his peers. In the late 90s, I decided that, of all the people I had met, there was no one whose life I wanted to emulate more than Michael’s. I made producing new work and nurturing playwrights my focus, and the answer to most of my questions can be found in the answer to the question “What would Michael do?” I am very excited to have him back with us this year.

  • An Oral History of HIV/AIDS and Spirituality
    ABSTRACT Things Broken and Things Made New: an Oral History of HIV/AIDS and Spirituality Kyle D. Desrosiers Director: Mia Moody-Ramirez, Ph.D. This project is a contemporary collection, analysis, and presentation of oral histories from HIV-positive people in America. As of April 2020, nine individuals living with HIV were interviewed in conjunction with the Baylor Institute for Oral History, in order to collect qualitative information about their lifetime experiences with spirituality and worldview. Topics investigated under this umbrella include religious affiliation, family and community belonging, health, sexuality, and changes in belief. As this project explores a wide range of life experiences, many significant narratives from both religious and secular spaces are presented. Human worldviews–whether doctrinal or not–touch all facets of life, and so participants have spoken about a range of topics, including advocacy, identity, culture, and remembered conversations, among other experiences that relate to the search for metaphysical meaning. Participants came from Roman Catholic, Protestant, Latter-day Saints, Reform Jewish, Conservative Jewish, and nonreligious traditions. Some interviewees remained in these faith traditions, while others currently identify with traditions such as Buddhism, as nonreligious, atheist, or spiritual but not religious. Most participants identified as LGBTQ+. The methodology of this project is influenced by existing literature regarding the nature of HIV/AIDS and religion, scholarly oral history work, and the interview processes used by the Baylor Institute for Oral History. This project reports emergent themes common to the ways various individuals living with HIV have used spirituality and worldviews to navigate life. This is an ongoing archival project, to which the author plans to continue to contribute, with particular emphasis on continually increasing the diversity of the participant pool.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) “After great pain, a formal feeling comes” After great pain, a formal feeling comes - The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs - The stiff Heart questions was it He, that bore, And Yesterday, or Centuries before? The Feet, mechanical, go round - Of Ground, or Air, or Ought - A Wooden way Regardless grown, A Quartz contentment, like a stone - This is the Hour of Lead - Remembered, if outlived, As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow - First - Chill - then Stupor - then the letting go - _____________________________________________________________________________ “After great pain, a formal feeling comes” After great pain, a formal feeling comes: The nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs. The stiff heart questions, was it he that bore, And yesterday, or centuries before? The feet, mechanical, go round— Of ground, or air, or ought— A wooden way Regardless grown, A quartz contentment, like a stone.

Remember June’s long days, and wild strawberries, drops of wine, the dew. The nettles that methodically overgrow the abandoned homesteads of exiles. You must praise the mutilated world. You watched the stylish yachts and ships; one of them had a long trip ahead of it, while salty oblivion awaited others. You’ve seen the refugees heading nowhere, you’ve heard the executioners sing joyfully. You should praise the mutilated world. Remember the moments when we were together in a white room and the curtain fluttered.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAP UCLA presents John Cameron Mitchell The Origin Of Love Tour Songs and Stories of Hedwig With special guest Amber Martin Featuring the songs of Hedwig by Stephen Trask Produced by ArKtype April 11 at The Theatre at Ace Hotel, DTLA “The Origin of Love [is] a punk-rock live behind the music episode of sorts and a gift to Hedwig heads everywhere.” — DC Theatre Scene UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA) presents John Cameron Mitchell’s The Origin Of Love Tour on Saturday, April 11, at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Downtown LA. Tickets starting at $28 are available now at cap.ucla.edu, 310-825-2101 and the Royce Hall box office. The Origin of Love Tour investigates Hedwig and The Angry Inch’s origins following 25- years of worldwide influence as one of alt-culture’s most beloved and enduring creations, and John Cameron Mitchell’s ideas and relationships to show business. In addition to songs from the gender-bending rock musical that opened off-Broadway in 1998, released as an acclaimed film in 2001, won the Tony Award for best musical revival in 2014, and has spawned legions of adoring “Hed-Head’s” worldwide, the audience will learn about Mitchell’s rebellion against Broadway tropes, meeting songwriter Trask and his beloved bandmember Jack who became his boyfriend, growing up queer in a military family, Platonic and Gnostic Christian philosophy and its connection to non- binary gender expression, and the influence of Lou Reed and David Bowie. Mitchell also performs songs from his podcast series Anthem: Homunculus and his last film, the punk-era How to Talk to Girls at Parties, as well as his recent acclaimed EP of Lou Reed covers with Eyelids and Peter Buck entitled “Turning Time Around.” New York Vocalist, Cabaret Star and Comedic Monologist Amber Martin joins Mitchell along with very special guests in this rousing performance.

  • Larry Kramer's Outsider Persona
    “IF YOU HAVEN’T MADE SOMEBODY ANGRY, YOU HAVEN’T DONE SOMETHING RIGHT:” LARRY KRAMER’S OUTSIDER PERSONA Rebecca Lynn Gavrila A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree of Master of Arts December 2005 Committee: Dr. Jane Barnette, Advisor Dr. Jonathan Chambers Dr. Lesa Lockford © 2005 Rebecca L. Gavrila All Rights Reserved i ABSTRACT Dr. Jane Barnette , Advisor This study offers an exploration of Larry Kramer’s outsider persona, and how that persona affected both his writings as well as public perception of the author. My argument utilizes specific texts that provide insight into various facets of Kramer’s persona, both public and private. A critical analysis of Faggots, several activist texts from the Reagan administration, and The Normal Heart provide the case studies from which I analyze Kramer’s persona(s). This thesis analyzes these works and is informed by deconstructive terms, particularly those of Paul de Man and Jacques Derrida. In addition, Philip Auslander’s notion of persona provides the definition of a term that is continually explored in each of the three chapters. The outcome of this text is not whether Kramer has an outsider persona, but how that persona developed and became a permanent feature of his writings and public appearance. Kramer’s persona changed drastically in just a few years, usually in response to cultural events affecting him directly or though his community. In the conclusion of this study, I do not merely restate my argument but show, through recent writings, how Kramer’s persona and the public’s response to his words still are relevant today.
