**************************************************************** THIS WAY OUT Rundown Program #498 (10/13/97) **************************************************************** Opening Teases/Theme Music/Intro Continuity ............................................................ 1:10 SEGMENT #1 - NewsWrap: A European Commission of Human Rights ruling spurs British age of consent law reform; a breaking scandal identifies lesbigay and AIDS publications and activists among the targets of questionable police surveillance in Victoria, Australia; California Governor Pete Wilson vetoes anti-discrimination protections for gays and lesbians -- again; Terry Helvey, the brutal murderer of gay shipmate Allen Schnindler, asks the U.S. Navy Parole Board to reduce his life sentence; the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to hear cases appealing the "don`t ask, don`t tell" military policy and the denial of a lesbian journalist`s right to political activism outside work hours; and Ellen fumes over ABC`s "Ellen" parental advisory [compiled & written this week by LUCIA CHAPPELLE & GREG GORDON, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL and ALAN REEKIE, and anchored by JEAN FREER & TORY CHRISTOPHER] ................................................... 9:40 SEGMENT #2 - Commemoration of the first Gay & Lesbian March on Washington in October 1979 is one of the reasons October has been recognized for the last four years in the U.S. as Gay & Lesbian History Month. The theme of this year`s observance is "Charting The Future, Reclaiming The Past", and in the second part of our effort to reclaim the past, "This Way Out" brings you some of those thrilling sounds of yesteryear -- an audio scrapbook of that first national demonstration: you`ll hop aboard the "Freedom Train" from California to D.C. (with an unlikely stop in Lincoln, Nebraska), sample comments by some of the 250,000+ people who were there (including Allen Ginsberg and Rev. Troy Perry), hear excerpts from Rally raps by Robin Tyler, Kate Millett and others, the sweet music of Holly Near and friends, and then find out why you may have never learned that such a massive demonstration took place (hint: "I think we need to teach straight people how to count.")
