********************************************************* THIS WAY OUT Rundown Program #564 (Distributed 01/18/99) ********************************************************* SEGMENT #1 - NewsWrap: The Vatican bars gay martyr Alfredo Ormando`s mourners from St. Peter`s Square on the first anniversary of his self-immolation death; Christianity trumps civil rights in a potentially far-reaching U.S. appeals court housing discrimination ruling giving landlords the right to refuse to rent to people whose lifestyles conflict with their religious beliefs; the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to hear the appeals of 2 more servicemembers discharged under "Don`t Ask, Don`t Tell"; there`s encouraging research about the development of an AIDS vaccine, and a discouraging but hopeful U.S. government report about lesbian health; the Connecticut Supreme Court denies a lesbian co-adoption of her partner`s son, but Human Rights Campaign leader Elizabeth Birch and her partner, record industry lobbyist Hilary Rosen, adopt Texas fraternal twins Anna and Jacob, which is quickly and cruelly condemned by the religious right`s Family Research Council; a Belgian MTF transwoman and her wife of 25 years are fighting a post-surgical government order to divorce; a Canadian transwoman wins a $2,000 bathroom access sex discirmination lawsuit against a Victoria, B.C. gay & lesbian bar; Chile officially publishes legislation repealing the national sodomy law; and longtime D.C. activist Frank Kameny solicits sodomy on an Alexandria, Virginia gay radio show, prompting the professionally-phobic Traditional Values Coalition to file a complaint with the F.C.C. [compiled and written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, BRIAN NUNES, JASON LIN, MARTIN RICE, REX WOCKNER, CHRIS AMBIDGE, GREG GORDON & LUCIA CHAPPELLE, and anchored by CINDY FRIEDMAN and FRANK STOLTZE] >.............................................................................. >....................................... 10:30 SEGMENT #2 - Billboard for "Formative Gay Images" & Quentin Crisp features [:10] + The popular star of stage ("Guys And Dolls”, "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum"), screen ("The Birdcage", "Mouse Hunt"), and TV (this year`s U.S. People`s Choice Award winner for favorite actor in a new TV show in the NBC sitcom "Encore! Encore!"), NATHAN LANE comes out, as evidently only a cover story in the Advocate can make official. TWO`s GREG GORDON quickly recovers from the "shock" -- as does just about everyone else in the LGBT community -- to file this brief report [includes brief excerpts from JAMES LIPTON`s interview with Lane on the Bravo cable channel`s "Inside The Actors Studio"; from Lane`s performances in "A Funny Thing...", "The Birdcage", and "Encore! Encore!"; and comments by Advocate editor JUDY WIEDER on the syndicated TV show "Entertainment Tonight"] (brief outro music from "I`m Coming Out" by DIANA ROSS) [2:05] >................................................... 2:15 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by openly-gay Olympics diving champ Greg Louganis [:05] + "Shorts" is a compilation of 14 gay- and AIDS-related features by Wellington, New Zealand independent radio producer GARETH WATKINS. In "When I Saw What I Was", gay men talk about the images that gave birth to their preconceptions of gay identity -- and how they learned to shake the stereotypes (includes a brief excerpt from "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by ROBERTA FLACK) [5:20] >.............................................................................. >................................................. 5:25 SEGMENT #4 - There`s at least one gay male celebrity who has uniquely embodied the stereotype, and in the process discovered that his vocation was simply being himself. Professional bon vivant, occasional actor, and author QUENTIN CRISP ("The Naked Civil Servant", "Resident Alien", "How To Have A Lifestyle") just turned 90 on Christmas Day. He talks with TWO`s STEVE PRIDE about growing up queer and living to tell about it (intro/outro music from "An Englishman In New York" by STING) >.............................................................................. >.............................................................. 8:35 CLOSING CREDITS/CONTINUITY >.............................................................................. >.............. 1:20 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME >.............................................................................. >........................ 29:05 -----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or NEWS stories is encouraged to email "T.W.O."
