By MICHAEL K. LAVERS
mlavers@washblade.com
Thousands are expected to attend
Capital Prides annual parade and festival
this weekend in the nations capital.
Lynda Carter and Brigadier Gen.
Tammy S. Smith of the U.S. Army
Reserve, who became the first openly
gay and lesbian flag officer to serve in
the military, will serve as grand marshals
of the parade that will start at 4:30 p.m.
on Saturday at 22nd and P Streets,
N.W., in Dupont Circle. It will end on
14th and R Streets, N.W., at WhitmanWalker Health.
The 17th annual Capital Pride Street
Festival will take place on Pennsylvania
Avenue between 3rd and 7th Streets, N.W.,
from noon to 7 p.m. on Sunday. Emeli
Sand, Icona Pop and Cher Lloyd will
headline the main stage. Tom Goss and Eric
Himan will also perform during the event.
NBC4 forecasts partly cloudy

schedule of events, see page 77; for
maps of the parade route and street
festival, see page 76.
Capital Pride Executive Director Ryan
Bos highlighted this years theme as he
discussed the annual event.
We wanted to have a little more
fun with the theme and identified
something that the community could
rally around, dress up as a costume and
participate, he told the Washington
Blade. We thought it was really easy
for folks to grab a hold of.
What became known as Capital Pride
traces its history to a one-day community

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. Pat Coluzzi, the first and only open lesbian to
serve on the Rehoboth Beach Board of Commissioners, indicated that she
would not seek re-election in August, after serving two three-year terms. She
said she made the decision to focus on other issues.
I enjoyed my work on the Commission, but I wanted to focus attention on,
among other things, getting a water taxi along the Canal in Rehoboth, she said.
Steve Elkins, executive director of CAMP Rehoboth, said that Coluzzi did
a great job to improve the image of the city, by promoting civic activities and
getting street banners on the business streets, among other things.
With the departure of Coluzzi, there will be two openly gay members of the Board
of Commissioners, Mark Hunker and Patrick Gossett, in a city that has had at least
one identifiable member of the LGBT community on its Commission since 2002.

In the wake of a Senate committee
decision to exclude bi-national gay couples
from immigration reform, LGBT rights
supporters are turning to a possible floor
amendment as a way to salvage inclusion
in the bill.
LGBT groups working on the issue
Immigration Equality and the Human
Rights Campaign told the Washington
Blade theyve asked Senate Judiciary
Committee Chair Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.)
to offer the language as an amendment
when it comes before the full Senate as
expected this month.
Steve Ralls, a spokesperson for
Immigration Equality, said discussions are
underway to push for a floor amendment
along the lines of UAFA, which would enable
gay Americans to sponsor their foreign
partners for residency in the United States,
but a lot depends on the case before the
Supreme Court challenging the Defense of
Marriage Act.
I can tell you if the immigration bill is
moving toward a vote before we have a
Supreme Court DOMA ruling or after we
have a bad Supreme Court ruling a floor
option is something we very much want to
look at, Ralls said. Were kind of in two
competing timelines here; its not entirely
clear how quickly the immigration bill will
move forward for a vote, and we dont
know exactly when were going to have a
Supreme Court ruling.
Bombarded by accusations on his
Facebook page that he betrayed the LGBT
community by asking the Senate Judiciary
Committee to hold off on the amendment,
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in response
raised the possibility of a floor amendment.
Ive been a lead sponsor of the Uniting
American Families Act for a number of years
and I believe and desire that its principles
should be included in the immigration
bill, Schumer writes. There will be an
opportunity to add it to the bill on the
Senate floor.
But none of the groups involved say
theyve received commitments from Leahy
that hell introduce the amendment on
the Senate floor, nor has the Vermont
senator publicly committed to offering the
amendment.
Jessica Brady, a Senate Judiciary
Committee spokesperson, said she doesnt
have anything to offer in terms of public
commitment for offering UAFA as an
amendment on the floor.
Im going to have to refer you back to

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel may
attend an upcoming event at the Defense
Department to celebrate June as Pride
month, according to two Pentagon officials
familiar with the event.
On Tuesday, sources told the Washington
Blade that Hagel has expressed interest in
attending the event to honor LGB service
members and LGBT members of the civilian
workforce, but he hasnt yet expressed a
firm commitment because his schedule at
that time isnt yet clear.
Lt. Cmdr. Nathan Christensen, a DOD
spokesperson, confirmed that a Pentagon
Pride event is set to take place later this
month, but offered few details.
The DoD Pride Organization is in the
process of organizing an event at the
Pentagon later this month, Christensen
said. No firm date has yet been set.
DOD Pride is a private organization which
is comprised of DOD civilians and service
members whose charter is to represent LGB
service members, LGBT civilian employees,
contractors, and families throughout the
Department of Defense.
Christensen added the Pentagon itself
isnt planning the event, but has formally
recognized June as Pride month.
It would be the first time that a sitting
defense secretary has attended a Pride
event at the Pentagon. Last year, when the
Pentagon hosted a Pride event for the first
time, the senior DOD official who spoke on
stage was then-Pentagon general counsel
Jeh Johnson, one of the co-chairs of the
study that examined the impact of Dont
Ask, Dont Tell repeal. Then-Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta delivered a video
message, but didnt appear at the event.
Hagels
participation
would
be
noteworthy because at the time of his
nomination for defense secretary, many
members of the LGBT community were
wary about his confirmation.
Many
expressed
concern
over
comments he reportedly made to the
Omaha World Herald in 1998 when he said
the then-nominee for U.S. ambassador
to Luxembourg shouldnt be confirmed
because hes openly aggressively gay.
Hagel later apologized for the remark.
As a Republican U.S. senator representing
Nebraska, Hagel had a dismal voting record
on LGBT issues. He voted for the Federal
Marriage Amendment in 2004, but didnt
cast a vote in 2006.

BOGOT, Colombia About 30
activists from across Colombia attended a
four-day training in the Colombian capital
from May 30-June 2 designed to encourage
LGBT people to become more involved in
the countrys political process.
The program, which was coordinated by
the Gay and Lesbian Victory Institute, the
Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice and
Colombia Diversa, a nationwide LGBT rights
organization, was the first to take place as
part of the USAID-backed LGBT Global
Development Partnership. This effort will
contribute $11 million over the next four
years to advocacy groups in neighboring
Ecuador and other developing countries.
Out Bogot City Councilwoman
Anglica Lozano Correa and Blanca
Durn Hernndez, mayor of the
Colombian capitals Chapinero district
that has a large gay population, are
among those who took part. They and
other advocates from Colombia and the
United States spoke about a variety of
topics that ranged from campaigning as
an openly LGBT candidate to fundraising
and responding to opponents.
We recognize the importance of
strengthening capacities for those who
want to become involved, Colombia
Diversa Executive Director Marcela
Snchez told the Blade during an
interview on May 30.
Lozano, Durn, Victory Institute President
Chuck Wolfe, Francisco Herrero of the
National Democratic Institute and Tatiana
Pieros, a transgender woman whom
Bogot Mayor Gustavo Petro in 2012
appointed to run the citys social welfare
agency, took part in a May 30 panel on how
out political leaders and officials can advance
the Colombian and American LGBT rights
movements. Snchez moderated this event
that took place at a Chapinero hotel.
The basic premise of serving in public
office means you represent people, Wolfe
said. They see you as a fellow person
who represents you and other elected or
appointed officials also have to work with
you and they begin to say theres nothing
wrong with being gay or lesbian or bisexual
or transgender.
Lozano, who served as the mayor of
Chapinero, a district of Bogot that has
a large gay population, from 2005-2008,
was an activist before she decided to
enter politics. She stressed anti-LGBT
attitudes persist, but out elected officials
have a responsibility to effectively
communicate messages that counter
homophobia and transphobia.
The focus in our community and on our
rights is not only in how they think about

Govt defends
LGBT rights record
Dr. Zayuri Tibaduiza, an adviser to Vice
President Angelino Garzn, told the Blade
during an interview at her office on May
31 that her government has expanded
sensitivity trainings with the Colombian
National PoliceUSAID in 2009 began to
work with the force to more effectively work
with LGBT advocacy groups.
She said the government continues to
work with prosecutors to ensure those
responsible for anti-LGBT violence are
prosecuted, and those who are victimized
receive protection.
It is an important task for the state
in practice and for the protection and
guarantee of human rights, Tibaduiza said.
When the Blade asked her about the
governments response to the same-sex
marriage debate, Tibaduiza said it respects
both the Constitutional Courts 2011 ruling
and the Senate vote that struck down the
bill that would have allowed gays and
lesbians to tie the knot.
The government has been very
clear about the need to advance these
guarantees of rights, Pedro Ignacio
Camacho Ramrez, a spokesperson for the
Colombian government, told the Blade
during the same interview with Tibaduiza.
The Victory Institute and Astraea
training also took place amid the ongoing
peace talks between the Colombian
government and the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) that
are taking place in Cuba.
Lozano noted during an interview
on May 31 that members of the FARC,
paramilitaries and the Colombian army
itself targeted, displaced or even killed
LGBT people during the conflict that
began in the 1960s. She described a gay
man from the countryside who had the
word maricn or faggot carved into
his stomach as she discussed the need to
include LGBT Colombians in any eventual
peace agreement.
