His first two demonstrations, at London`s Westminister Cathedral, and then at Melbourne, Australia`s St. Patrick`s Cathedral, met with mixed results ... but in May of this year a group of Melbourne Catholics revived Holloway`s motif. Rainbow Sash movement leader MICHAEL KELLY, a former Catholic educator and university chaplain, discusses the Pentacost Sunday action, and the theological and societal issues involved, with reporter ALI BENTON [from Australia`s national lesbigay radio program "Out & Out"] (intro/outro music from "Down At Stonewall" by JALLEN RIX) [9:30] .............................................................................. ................................ 9:40 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by acclaimed gay writer Edmund White [:10] + Writer/Director Stephen Kuak`s "NEVER MET PICASSO" (Turbulant Arts), the toast of several lesbigay film festivals in the past several months, centers on the relationship between creativity and queer lifestyles -- and much more.
