Some of his poetry excerpted during this segment celebrates the physical beauty of his male lover; no sexual activity is described (save a kiss, if one wants to define it that way), no sexual organs are specifically mentioned, and no sexually-graphic language is used, although the last poetry excerpt (following the drop-in promo for next week's Part 2) uses the word "phallic" (among others) in his description of a mushroom. **************************************************************** Opening Teases/Theme Music/Intro Continuity ........................ 1:20 SEGMENT #1 - NewsWrap: The attempted citizens' arrest in London on October 30 by the queer direct action group OutRage! of Zimbabwe's homophobic President Robert Mugabe reverberates at the Commonwealth Summit in Durban, South Africa, while openly-closeted Blair Cabinet minister Peter Mandelson is chosen to lead Labour's General Election Planning Committee, OutRage!'s Peter Tatchell decides not to run against anti-gay (even though he's admitted to youthful gay affairs) Michael Portillo for the Kensington-Chelsea House of Commons seat, and Angela Mason of Britain's national advocacy group Stonewall is invested with the Order of the British Empire by Prince Charles; last week's bombing of the gay Blah Bar in Cape Town, South Africa is protested there this week and in Johannesburg; Kristen Price, the last of the 4 suspects in the Matthew Shepard murder case, reaches a plea agreement, while Matthew's parents lobby for the Hate Crimes Prevention Act in D.C.; GOP presidential hopeful Arizona Senator John McCain meets with the gay Log Cabin Republicans; a den of Cubs no longer want to be Scouts in Ashland, Oregon, while a Toronto pack for LGBT young people receives Scouts Canada's blessing; despite vocal opposition from several government ministries and AIDS advocacy groups, New Zealand Immigration Minister Tuariki Delamere announces that people with HIV will not be allowed to stay in the country for more than 2 years; the Labor-dominted parliament in the Australian state of Queensland passes a bill to curb domestic violence that includes gay and lesbian couples, in spite of dire warnings from right-wing conservatives that such inclusion would result in apocalyptic destruction, while France's PACS partners law passes one of its final hurdles by gaining the approval of the Constitutional Council; and Wittenberg, Germany's mayor passes on his traditional kiss with the city's Carnival Princess because this year the city elected a dual prince-ipality: gay couple Michael Fonfara and Thomas Walther [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 LEO GARCIA] >......................... 10:25 SEGMENT #2 - Billboard for "AudioFile" [:10] + While his name might not be quite as well known as his contemporaries Oscar Wilde and Edward Carpenter, JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS was a leader of the "bourgeois radical" socialist intellectuals who worked for cultural and social change at the turn of the last century. A political theorist as well as a poet, his 1891 "A Problem In Modern Ethics" was one of the earliest calls for homosexual law reform in Britain. In this first of a 3-part audio biography written and presented by HUGH YOUNG, we hear about Symonds' early years and the first loves of his life, and sample his writings (read by DAVID HINDLEY) -- which, we should stress, are probably as controversial now as they were in his own time because of their celebratory descriptions of the male body and man-man love [5:15] ................................................ 5:25 SEGMENT #3 - Lesbian "fumerist" KATE CLINTON comments on the Southern Baptist boycott of Disney and Disney's takeover of the ABC television network (from her Publishing Mills audiobook "Don't Get Me Started") [:40], tagged with a "TWO" I.D.

In this month's special edition of "AudioFile", McLellan talks with co-hosts/producers CHRIS WILSON & PAM MARSHALL and demonstrates the fruits of his labor, with musical excerpts from two of its entries: "Masculine Women, Feminine Men" by LEW KING WITH MERRITT BRUNIES & HIS FRIARS INN ORCHESTRA, and (the now-hopefully-dated-because-of-recent-events) "Jerry Falwell's Coming To Town" by JAN BARLOW AND THE CHORAL MAJORITY (produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM and assisted by ADAM-MICHAEL JAMES) >..................................................... 9:20 [online info about the OutLoud CD-ROM is at http://www.queermusic.com] CLOSING CREDITS/CONTINUITY ......................................... 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME ................................................. 28:50 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or NEWS stories is encouraged to email "T.W.O."
