Much of his poetry excerpted during this segment celebrates the physical beauty of his male lovers; no sexual activity is described, no sexual organs are mentioned, and no sexually-graphic language of any kind is used. Nevertheless, you may wish to preview this segment before broadcast. --------------------------------- * ------------------------------ ...AND A REMINDER: (for those who regularly use "Newswrap" as a stand-alone segment) To enable our news anchors to take some rare holiday time off, there is no "NewsWrap" on this week's "This Way Out". There will also be no "NewsWrap" on the last "This Way Out" program of 1999 (#613, to be distributed 12/27/99) -- that program will be the annual "Best Of AudioFile" all lesbigay music show, with Chris Wilson and Pam Marshall playing cuts from their favorite CD's of the past year. *=======================================================* Opening Teases/Theme Music/Intro Continuity ........................ 1:10 SEGMENT #1 - No "NewsWrap" announcement/billboard for "Lola" and Symonds features [:20] + GERMANY's Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and his center-left Social Democrats made campaign promises to the lesbian and gay community last year that legal recognition of same-gender couples was part of the party's agenda. His government recently put forward a proposal for "registered domestic partnerships" that would extend some marriage rights to gay and lesbian pairs, but the idea still faces intense opposition from the conservative political establishment and churches. KYLE JAMES reports from Cologne on the German fight for the right to walk down the aisle -- with comments by WILFREDO JIMENEZ and MARC SANDERMANN, whose long-term relationship intentions are jeopardized because Venezuelan Wilfredo is only in Germany on a student visa; activists KIRAIKOS KAPETOS and ANDREAS SOWINSKY and General Secretary JULIA SIEGMANN of Germany's Lesbian and Gay Association; Prelate DR. HEINART KOCH, Head of Pastoral Care at Cologne's Catholic Archdiocese; and VOLKER BECK, a Green Party spokesman and Germany's only openly gay Member of Parliament (intro music from "Love And Marriage" by FRANK SINATRA) [10:25] ................................ 10:45 SEGMENT #2 - "TWO" I.D. by Chastity Bono [:05] + After becoming an unprecedented hit at OutFest '99 in Los Angeles and at the Berlin International Film Festival, "LOLA AND BILLY THE KID" ("Lola Und Bilidikid") -- a Good Machine release -- opened recently in New York City, and is scheduled for wider distribution in the weeks ahead. It centers on the expatriate Turkish community in Germany and the life of Murat, a German-born Turkish teenager caught between his family's tradition-based expectations and his secret queer identity. Murat's search for himself becomes a murder mystery after his long-lost brother -- to his surprise now the transvestite Lola -- is killed. STEVE PRIDE talks with writer/director KUTLUG ATAMAN and stars ERDAL YILDIZ ("Billy") and MURAT YILMAZ ("Iskender") about the film and the conflicting cultures it explores (with music from the movie soundtrack) [8:20] ............................ 8:25 SEGMENT #3 - JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS, a compatriot of such literary notables as Oscar Wilde and Edward Carpenter, used his skill as a political theorist and poet to work for cultural and social change the at the turn of the last century. His 1891 "A Problem In Modern Ethics" was one of the earliest calls for homosexual law reform in Britain. In the conclusion of this 3-part audio biography written and presented by HUGH YOUNG (with Symonds' words read by DAVID HINDLEY), the ahead-of-his-time liberationist's viewpoint changes as he expands his relationships beyond his own class, and learns to appreciate sexual pleasure outside the context of a monogamous love relationship -- and be advised, his descriptions of that pleasure, while not graphic, may be as controversial now as they were in his own day >..................................................... 7:05 CLOSING CREDITS/CONTINUITY ......................................... 1:20 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME ................................................. 28:45 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or NEWS stories is encouraged to email "T.W.O."
