Fred Phelps has died

By Worley Rodehaver Publisher Ding, Dong, the wicked Witch ( warlock) is dead! I can hear some of my readers gasping. You should not defame the dead, they say. This so-called preacher didnt follow that admonition either. He and his clan defiled Matthew Shepards funeral carrying signs saying such things as Matt in hell and No fags in heaven. He and family also protested at the funerals of U.S. Arms Forces members. A motorcycle group was organized to keep the Phelps family from getting near funerals. Groups surrounded the Westboro Baptist Church members at funerals. And the family appeared at two locations in Cincinnati Carl D. Fox said, Indeed, he protested out in front of the new headquarters building of P&G with his kids and grandchildren! They were all wearing or holding disgraceful signs, even his grandchildren. He remembered it was after they bought the Crazy Fox in Newport. Phelps was Protesting the fact that P&G was donating $1,000.00 ( or some amount) to their GLBT group for that years PRIDE Parade. They were on one side of the street and the counter protesters were on the other. Carl said, Fred stood on an American Flag atop a Rainbow Flag. They had Police

Ah! The peace, the quite of old age. The security of knowing you are secure. I was awaiting my police permit to turn on my new full-house alarm. Scheduled for installion of a pacemaker, I went in the hospital for an overnight stay on March 10. Then I was informed I could not lift more than 10 pounds with my left arm. And, to climb my steps to get in my house I am lifting with my left arm 210 poundsme! So, off I went to the Purple Egg Nursing home. (I am The Old in one again) Geezer this time for By Worley Rodehaver two weeks to which I agreed. Meanwhile, my police code came but I was not home to install the alarm. Of course, somebody broke in and stole a computerwhat else! And, on and on and on and on.....! By Ronn Rucker Some of you may remember about 20 years ago a member of the Cincinnati LGBT community, HUEY McCLELLAN, was convicted of a serious sexual offense against three minor males. Huey has been in prison now for more than 18 years. He attended my church, Church of Our Saviour Episcopal and recently, I began a correspondence with him to try to offer some human notice to his dire situation.

April, 2014
Out of that correspondence, I have decided to begin an effort to garner community support for his next parole hearing some time in the next year. I would like any one willing to write a support letter to the Parole Board or possibly to appear before the Parole Board with me to contact me at RonnR@aol.com I will have a few meetings with interested parties to organize this effort. The first step is to contact me if you might help.

Do you remember Huey McClellan?

This publication is dedicated to those who have or have died from AIDS or Hate Crimes
It is our goal to record the positive contributions GLBT people make to their community and the local community at large. While AIDS and Hate CRIMES are certainly not positive things, we seek to draw the positive from the negative. We hold up Paul Delph and Matthew Shepard and their families as models of how human beings should or could react to each other and how families should support loved ones whose lives are not in the box right wing religious zealots want them in. Delph, a multi-talented Cincinnatian, died of AIDS in 1996. His mother shut down her business to care for him. Shepard died in 1998, victim of a hate Crime and his mother worked for years to get passed a national Hate Crimes Bill, which is now law.

Are you a same-sex couple living in Ohio but legally married in another state? Each of you will die some day and you will want your marriage properly recognized on your death certificate. Last December a federal judge in Cincinnati ordered the Ohio Department of Health to recognize the marriages on the death certificates of two men who died in Ohio but were married out-of-state. Their husbands were listed as the surviving spouse on their death certificates. While the decision, Obergefell v. Wymyslo, was written broadly, the Courts ruling was limited. It only directly applied to the two couples who brought the lawsuit, and to the funeral director, Robert Grunn, who handled the cremation of one of the men. The Ohio Department of Health has interpreted the Courts decision narrowly and put out notice to funeral directors across the state that it only applies to death certificates filed by Robert Grunn. As a result, it is possible the Ohio Department of Health will only recognize marriages between samesex couples on death certificates filed by Mr. Grunn and no other funeral directors. But the precedent is clear and all married same-sex couples should know their rights and make sure their marriages are recognized at death. The Courts ruling is in effect, but it is also on appeal. While the appeal is pending, the lawyers representing the plaintiffs want to know about the See Death, Page 3, Col 4

Benefitsfinancially and otherwiseof homeownership
After bearing witness to the swings in the real estate market during the last five years, the common question is: Why should I buy a home? The reasons are very sound and solid, when you stop to think of them. *Its yours - you are in charge! You can decorate to your taste, make renovations and care for the property without the need to ask permission of someone else *Ownership builds wealth - If you buy what you can afford, you will build wealth over time - rather than padding someone elses pocket *Financial benefits deductions on mortgage interest, closing

costs and property taxes can all be used to your benefit at tax time. Home equity lines, too. Check with your accountant! * Capital Gains Exclusions - Profits up to $250,000 can be kept - and not reported to Jack the IRS if Wolking youre single; up to $500, 000 if married and filing jointly. * Choice - its up to you how you wish to live - single family, condo, multi-family. Age of house, type of neighborhood, urban, suburban, rural - its all up to you and your preferences * Longterm - Buying is always less expensive than renting! You build wealth and equity for yourself and not for someone else! As always, were here for YOU! If youve a topic or question you

experiences of other married same-sex couples who seek recognition on death certificates in Ohio. If you are legally married, and your same-sex spouse dies, you can ask your funeral director to report your deceased spouse as married and yourself as the surviving spouse. If you do so, the plaintiffs lawyers want to know if your funeral director agrees or refuses, and if the state refuses to register death certificates recording your marriage or grants one. This information will help the lawyers argue the appeal in the Obergefell case and help ensure that all marriages

between same-sex couples are soon recognized by the State of Ohio.

I remember she caused a flurry in the crowd at the Isaac Hayes concert in 1968. People were straining to catch a glimpse of her. Perhaps even more important was the Gay rights demonstration I stumbled onto in Fountain Square in about 1963 or 62. There were about 40 black men dressed as women. Many of them were extremely fashionable and at that time (I was only about 13) I didnt know that men could look so much like women. They marched around the Fountain and carried signs about Gay Rights. The event was even on the local news because I remember catching the report.

more people (families, those in wheelchairs, or Transgender people) to feel more comfortable in City Hall. But there was a mistake. After posting a photo of the progress on social media, someone reached out to me because of the words on the new restroom. The sign read, Family Restroom. While families with small children would most certainly use this new restroom, there are many who would use it alone, including those with limited mobility ( in wheelchairs ) or Transgender people. As the person pointed out, Family Restroom implies the use is for multiple individuals. This can lead to discomfort when a single person, LGBT or not, walks into the restroom. This hadnt crossed my mind, but it certainly made sense.

Ed Hicks returning to tri-state
By Ed Hicks Publisher Mitchell, the girls and I are planning to move from Memphis to the Greater Cincinnati area around the middle of June, and we are looking for a house to rent. Though the longer term plan calls for buying another house, renting may be the better option for the short term. That said, do you have or know of any houses that may be suitable and available around that time? Since I expect my job to require Kentucky residency, Northern Kentucky houses will get first look. And they must have a fenced yard because of the girls two well mannered, housebroken, older dogs. Needless to say, the dogs will live in the house and not the yard, but a yard is essential. So if you hear of anything, please let me know. And old friends, be on the lookout for a moving in party invite! chellboy@bellsouth.net

Caracole to add pharmacy services

Caracole, a nonprofit agency located in Northside with the mission of providing safe, affordable housing and supportive services to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS has added one more service to compliment its five programs: pharmacy services. Caracole begins this service via the 340B Drug Pricing Program, a federal program that requires drug manufacturers to provide outpatient drugs to eligible entities at significantly reduced prices. As a Ryan White funded, nonprofit organization, Caracole received its designation as a covered entity from the Department of Pharmacy Affairs in mid-Marc. Caracole has elected to dispense 340B drugs to patients through contract pharmacy services. In midJanuary, Caracole signed a contract to initiate pharmacy services with PharmBlue, a leading Contract Pharmacy under the 340B Drug Pricing Program. Through this program, Caracole will be able to offer eligible clients significantly reduced prices on alarmingly expensive specialty drugs used in the treatment of HIV and other health care problems. Caracole is hopeful that this service will be beneficial to as many of its 1,400 clients who are eligible to take part in this program.

On the road to a better day

By Brother Michael Childs Recently at a family holiday gathering, the discussion turned to same-sex marriages and Gay Rights. The tired old lines rolled off about what the Bible says and how this is the reason why our country is going to Hell in a hand-basket. I sat quietly, since I had been in these conversations in the past and found that challenging their points of view only leads to disagreements and no point of understanding on their part. Finally a cousin declared, Lets ask Mike. Hes a , and he used an offensive pejorative that had something to do with fudge. Another cousin spoke up saying, Lets see if he can talk like a sissy, to which I sat there consoling myself that I was in a convention of fools. While I am well aware that this incident was minor compared to the sheer and utter persecution that many go through, and I in no way compare myself to those martyrs in Uganda, Russia and other countries where being Gay or supporting the cause of the Gay Community means that you may lose your life, yet incidents like this remind me that we have much ground to cover before we can see real equality and acceptance. We see where states refuse to challenge suits against the constitutionality of antiMarriage Equality laws, thus making it permissible to marry in the state, and we have the false assumption that all is well and that the whole world is opening loving arms to embrace us. If you think that, take a walk through the local mall hand-in-hand, or show open affection in public and watch for the reaction. Talk about you partner and use terms like husband or

ination is based in the social expectation that people need conform to a set of rules that dictate how men and women must behave. She added, The sole basis for denying marriage equality is that real equality would violate the rule that families can only exist between a man, a woman and the children they bear between them. People who identify as Transgender, Intersex, GenderQueer, or one of the many variations of how individuals express their gender, struggle against this form of discrimination every day. Having leadership and boards that meaningfully reflect our diverse community matters, said MEUSA Executive Director Brian Silva. Denises leadership will help us improve our work educating on the critical intersections of marriage equality and Transgender equality issues, as well as supporting the Transgender Community beyond marriage, where we are able. Denise is currently the lead for global Transgender workplace inclusion at Accenture, a global management

Her roots in the Transgender community extend back more than 20 years from co-founding the Transexual Menace in 1993 to the creation of the Institute for Transgender Economic Advancement in 2014. Her vision for the future is that we will no longer be separated by letters like L, G, B and T, but will become one community united in seeking equality for all genders and all orientations. MEUSA is particularly excited to engage Denises experience and passion for advocacy as we continue to support initiatives such as the federal fully inclusive Employment NonDiscrimination Act (ENDA), Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA) in New York and legislation for transinclusive safe schools in California, concluded MEUSA Board President Jane Wishon.
