************************************************* THIS WAY OUT Program #459 01-13-97 ************************************************* Opening Teases/Theme Music/Intro Continuity ...................... 1:05 SEGMENT #1 - NewsWrap: A gay sex scandal involving MP Jerry Hayes rocks British Tories just as the latest election campaign kicks off there; Arizona's Jim Kolbe will become the first openly-gay Republican Congressional committee chairperson; violence against gays, lesbians and trannys increased sharply in Brazil in 1996, according to a leading activist there; an article in "Vanity Fair" magazine suggests that the investigation of the Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta was stalled for weeks by an FBI theory that security guard hero-turned-suspect Richard Jewell was an "enraged homosexual cop-killer"; Chile's Senate rejects sodomy law reform even though a repeal measure had passed in the legislature's lower house; exiting Washington state Governor Mike Lowry's final legislative package includes a first-in-the-U.S. proposal to extend equal marriage rights to same-gender couples (although it has little chance of passage); and, it's not defamation in Italy to identify someone as a lesbian [compiled and written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to BRIAN NUNES, JASON LIN, RON BUCKMIRE, GRAHAM UNDERHILL, PERE CRUELLS, BJORN SKOLANDER, ANDY QUAN, REX WOCKNER, LUCIA CHAPPELLE and GREG GORDON, and anchored by BRIAN NUNES and CINDY FRIEDMAN] ............................................... 8:10 SEGMENT #2 - Our review of significant lesbigay news in 1996 concludes this week with "THE TRIALS OF '96": In addition to last year's pivotal rulings regarding same-gender marriage, legislated discrimination, military service and sodomy laws, lesbigay rights were challenged and championed in a number of high profile judicial battles. Three of the key cases we covered on "This Way Out" in 1996 demonstrated legal developments in the state and federal courts in the U.S., and the increasing role of the European Court Of Human Rights. We'll close with an unusual proceding that signaled changing attitudes in a much "higher" jurisdiction. This segment begins with a "TWO" I.D. by openly-gay Olympic diving champ Greg Louganis [:10] over the instrumental opening of intro music (from "Love & Justice" by JUDY FJELL) and segment intro continuity [1:25], then: Florida lesbian MARY WARD's efforts to regain custody of her daughter from her convicted murderer ex-husband [reported by SUSAN GAGE/5:00]; Wisconsin high school student JAMIE NABOZNY's lawsuit against his school district for failing to protect him from homophobic abuse [reported by MARK BEVIS/Pacifica Network News/4:25]; 17-year-old Chris Morris' challenge in the European Court Of Human Rights to Britain's unequal age of consent law [reported by PETROC TRELAWNY and DAVID COOK/BBC Radio 5 Live's "Out This Week"/3:45]; and DAVID PROSSER's ["Out This Week"] chat with retired Iowa Episcopal Bishop WALTER RIGHTER about how his ordination of an openly-gay man resulted in his trial for heresy (with outro music reprise of "Love & Justice") [3:05] ................................. 17:50 CLOSING CREDITS/CONTINUITY ........................................................ 1:45 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME ........................................................................ 28:50 ----------------------Please note------------------------ Anyone with questions, suggestions, or NEWS stories is encouraged to email "T.W.O."
