Witchy Ways Casts A Halloween Spell

Just in time for Halloween writer/director Jane Clark unveils her latest feature film “Witchy Ways” a supernatural romance that blends humor, love & magic. Redefining the witch genre through a contemporary lens the film celebrates the belief that real magic lives in love & authenticity. Clark continues her brilliant tradition of emotionally bold resonant storytelling that bridges genre & identity. We talked to Jane back in 2015 about her previous work the cult favorite “Crazy Bitches” & the acclaimed “Elena Undone” have established her as a distinctive voice in independent cinema. Jane stated, “I wanted to create a supernatural romance where queer women aren’t just included but celebrated. This is a story about love, courage & believing in something greater than ourselves.” The film is about Eve (Diora Baird) a high-powered brand manager who retreats to her late mother’s cottage a place long rumored to be magical. There she meets Danni (Marem Hassler) an enchanting neighbor who comes from a long line of witches. What begins as a reluctant friendship deepens into a romantic connection that challenges Eve’s sense of logic & control. When Danni’s home & legacy are threatened by a vengeful neighbor Eve must decide whether to remain grounded in the world she knows or step fully into one of magic, love & possibility. The stellar ensemble cast also includes Candis Cayne (Dirty Sexy Money & The Magicians), Guinevere Turner (American Psycho), David Fumero (One Life to Live), Marc Price (Family Ties, Trick or Treat) & Paul Fox (Ford v Ferrari). “Witchy Ways” is distributed by Wolfe Video & currently streaming on Apple TV (US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium & Switzerland).

Elizabeth Taylor Passion Strives (AUDIO)

This week I talked with Tim Mendelson who was the longtime executive assistant to legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor & is currently a trustee & officer of The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF). Tim worked fulltime for Taylor from the early 1990s until her death in 2011 beginning as a freelance production assistant in 1984 but after assisting with Taylor's "White Diamonds" perfume tour in 1991 she hired him as her secretary. He eventually became her executive assistant & worked with her closely on her charitable endeavors including her fight against AIDS. Mendelson & Taylor developed a close & trusting relationship over their decades together. As a trustee of her estate & The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation he continues Taylor's humanitarian work. Taylor co-founded The Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) in 1985 & The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF) in 1991. Tim personally witnessed Elizabeth’s passionate drive to help people affected by HIV/AIDS with an immediacy that she felt was crucial for this fight. Currently Tim remains dedicated to keeping Elizabeth’s voice & spirit pre-eminent in HIV/AIDS activism for the purpose of ensuring it is at the forefront of current actions concerning this global pandemic. Mendelson has appeared in documentaries related to Elizabeth Taylor including the fabulous film “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes” (2024) on MAX. With thousands of Gen Z & Gen Alpha fans newly discovering Elizabeth through Taylor Swift’s new album it’s a perfect time to highlight what this fierce ally brought to our LGBTQ community through her lifetime. I talked to Tim about what he would like to accomplish with Elizabeth Taylor’s legacy & his spin on our LGBTQ issues. LISTEN

National Coming Out Day 37th Year

Jean O’Leary & Dr. Robert Eichberg organized the first National Coming Out Day on October 11th in 1988 & artist Keith Haring who I had the pleasure of meeting contributed his 1988 iconic image. On National Coming Out Day in Boston we’re attending a celebration at Boston City Hall Plaza. Remember that coming out isn’t just a moment it’s a story, your story. In 1993 the National Coming Out Day org merged with HRC then known as the Human Rights Campaign Fund which created the National Coming Out Project in 1996. Kelley Robinson HRC President stated, “Everyone deserves the freedom to live authentically & unapologetically. Coming out to one’s community, family, friends & loved ones should be a joyous event, a recognition that a person is entering a new chapter in their life & in their journey of self-discovery. At a moment when the nation’s most powerful people long for a future that dims our light & forces us back into the closet, coming out is also an act of defiance. But for too many others, coming out is still challenging, difficult & even unsafe. That’s why those of us who are able to be ourselves publicly must continue to do so, to live loudly & proudly, so we can create a world where all people can be free–no matter what.” National Coming Out Day (NCOD) is marked each year on October 11th exists to celebrate those who are living their truths as members of our LGBTQ community. HRC & the HRC Foundation build power through partnerships, storytelling & action working to create a future rooted in equity, freedom & belonging for all LGBTQ people.

Faith Leaders Address Healthcare Crisis

Members of MCAN a faith & values grassroots org are calling on elected leaders to choose long-term justice over short-term fixes addressing the government shutdown. Rev. Emmanuel Daphnis of Restoration Community Church stated, “While we grieve the harm a shutdown causes for workers, families & communities, we know from our scriptures & traditions that choosing what is expedient over what is just leads to deeper suffering. We cannot accept a budget that locks in devastating cuts from the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, stripping resources from our schools, health care, housing & the safety net that so many of our families depend on.” Rev. Nathan Ives added, “We are encouraged by senators & legislators who are boldly standing with the millions who would be devastated by cuts to health insurance tax credits. No one welcomes a shutdown, but keeping the government open by forcing huge hikes in health insurance premiums on our most vulnerable is not liberty & justice for all.” Janine Carreiro-Young, Co-Executive Director of MCAN concluded, “Scripture calls us to care for the widow, the orphan & the stranger — those most vulnerable among us. Passing a budget that sacrifices their wellbeing for political gain is nothing less than a moral failure. A temporary shutdown is painful, but passing a cruel budget locks us into permanent injustice.” MCAN has a 35+ year history as a faith & values rooted org rooted in diverse spiritual traditions. MCAN centers equity & justice to lead our nation towards truly being a “more perfect union” in partnership nationally with Faith In Action. 

Pennsylvania Stands Up For Healthcare

In our series of community leaders addressing the government shutdown Pennsylvania Stands Up responds to Trump & Congress’s failed attempt to force Democrats to vote to finance fascism & the theft of American taxpayers money on behalf of corporations & billionaires. Carrie Santoro, Pennsylvania Stands Up Executive Director stated, “No blank checks to pay for BS. Working folks are getting squeezed left & right by rising rent, utility bills & health care costs. We do not want our representatives in Congress writing any blank checks that make our lives worse. The proposal on the table doesn’t make anything Pennsylvanians need cheaper. It doesn’t reopen closed hospitals. It doesn’t return the public dollars that were stolen from us. The deal on the table only gives us stuff we don’t want. We do not want our neighbors abducted. We do not want our peers & elders to have their health care stolen from them. We do not want our families with kids to have their food taken away. Pennsylvanians are facing massive SNAP & health care cuts because the Republicans in our congressional delegation voted for the Big Ugly Budget so their billionaire donor, Jeffrey Yass, could get another tax cut, another mansion & another yacht. Pennsylvanians know that’s not right. We’re organizing in Harrisburg to fight cuts to funding for housing, health care, transit & education. Congress & Trump need to cancel the cuts, lower costs & save our health care.” Pennsylvania Stands Up believes everyone deserves to live with safety & dignity. They work to elect transformative leaders who will create policy that builds a Pennsylvania that works for all people. 

Maine People’s Alliance On Healthcare

With the federal shutdown Maine People’s Alliance & faith leaders call on Senator Susan Collins to extend premium tax credits for people with marketplace health coverage & stop funding ICE. Amy Halsted, Co-Executive Director of Maine People’s Alliance stated, “There is more than enough for all of us to thrive if billionaires & corporate CEOs don’t steal it. So it’s time for Congress to focus on our needs, not their greed. Rural Mainers are facing the dual threat of losing our health care coverage and our hospitals. Our people & our hospitals were already at risk before congressional Republicans cut $1 trillion in health care funding to give billionaires & big businesses more tax breaks. Our health system is now in code blue. Five hospitals have recently closed their maternity wards. More cuts mean more closures & in January, 20,000 Mainers will lose their health coverage because of H.R.1. – Trump’s ‘One Big Bill.’ Every member of Congress ought to fight to prevent that from happening, especially Senator Collins who holds the pen on these bills. Without access to health care people will die.” Rev. Tara Humphries of Allen Avenue UU Church concluded, “Stripping access to healthcare & funding the forced removal of our neighbors without their constitutional right to due process is immoral. I don’t care what ‘side’ you’re on… Mainers take care of one another. It’s who we are. I hope Senator Collins will remember the communities to whom she is accountable & that it’s never too late to side with love & justice.” Maine People’s Alliance is dedicated to providing Maine people with the tools, knowledge, skills & opportunity to become involved in the decision-making processes that affect their lives. 

Americans Holding Out For Healthcare

American community leaders are urging Representatives in the House & Senate to hold the line on healthcare amidst the failed attempt to force Democrats to vote for a budget to finance fascism on behalf of corporations & billionaires. Sulma Arias, People’s Action Executive Director stated, “Our leaders must put people first & refuse to comply with the oligarchs waging war against us. Democrats are right to refuse to be complicit in stealing our money, bankrolling billionaires & financing fascism. Now Republicans are showing they are willing to hurt working people even more rather than sit down & negotiate on health care funding with Democrats. Working people need Social Security checks, Medicare & veterans’ benefits. Government workers need paychecks to run our national parks, administer veterans benefits & keep our food & our planes safe. They’re not going to get them because MAGA’s agenda is so greedy & violent that the GOP can’t get it passed even when Republicans control the House, Senate & White House. Republicans must come to the table with Democrats to negotiate health care & other crucial priorities. They must back off MAGA’s demands for more money for abductions & more theft of our funds for food, housing & care. Congress should fight to make this country affordable to working families, not just corporations & the ultra-rich.” People’s Action org is a proud national network of 38 member-based, power-building organizations in 29 states with more than a million members & tens of thousands of national volunteers. They are from every background, speak many languages & live in small towns, cities & rural areas. 

Brazil Marks Workplace Inclusion Surge

The Human Rights Campaign released its 4th annual benchmarking report recognizing 75 companies across Brazil that earned the maximum score & designation of best places to work for our LGBTQ community. RaShawn “Shawnie” Hawkins, SHRM-CP, Senior Director of the HRC Foundation’s Workplace Equality Program stated, “Even as some current global challenges threaten diversity, equity & inclusion, Brazilian companies are showing that inclusion isn’t just sustainable — it’s essential. This year’s results demonstrate that more companies are not only adopting LGBTQIA+-inclusive policies, but embedding them into their operations, supply chains, & leadership. That translates to safer, more affirming, more innovative workplaces for nearly a million people across Brazil.” This year a total of 92 companies participated in the index with 81.5% achieving certification up from 63.7% last year. Collectively the program now impacts more than 913,000 employees nationwide underscoring its role as a leading driver of workplace equality in Brazil. This year’s survey shows that even as overall participation declined globally in the wake of far-right attacks on diversity, equity & inclusion Brazilian companies are deepening their commitment to LGBTQ inclusive workplace policies & practices. Helen, Executive Director of Instituto Mais Diversidade concluded, “The drop in participation is concerning, as it suggests that some of the corporate sector may be stepping back from diversity commitments in challenging times. At the same time, Equidade BR highlights that companies maintaining their focus are achieving real, measurable progress. The future of workplace inclusion depends on the courage to keep advancing, rather than retreating.” The Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Global Workplace Equality Program is advancing LGBTQ workplace inclusion across the U.S., Mexico, Chile, Argentina & Brazil impacting more than 30.6 million employees worldwide.
