While in D.C., some took their "American as apple pie" concerns to elected representatives in a lobbying effort with a tasty twist. On April 26th, the night before the PFLAG visit to Capitol Hill, they spent the evening in the kitchen. Pies in hand the next day, PFLAG's Texas contingent went to the Sam Rayburn Senate Office Building for their appointment with archconservative Senator Phil Graham. Graham aide Don Dempsey wouldn't allow the press inside the meeting, but when it was over, This Way Out's LUCIA CHAPPELLE walked through the halls of Congress chatting with MARTHA ENGLUND, PFLAG's Regional Director for Texas and Louisiana, and with BETTY and TED DOTTS of Lubbock, Texas [7:20] . . . . >. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:30 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by DOUG STEVENS & THE OUTBAND (with an excerpt from their "Out In The Country") [:35] + Whatever your favorite style of music is, chances are someone gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered plays it. While most of their output is still on smaller labels or self-produced, if you think these talented musicians get scant recognition, think again. At the fourth annual GAY/LESBIAN AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS - the GLAMA's - lesbigay and trans artists were nominated for the "gay Grammys" in a broader range of categories than ever before. In this first of a 2-part report from the GLAMA 2000 ceremony on April 24th in New York City, This Way Out's CHRIS WILSON and CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM share the excitement and chat with many of the winners (includes music from "Hedwig and the Angry Inch", and music and comments by double-winner KRISTINA BOERGER; MARY GAUTHIER/"Drag Queens In Limousines"; SONiA/"Me, Too"; and Carole & Maria of ZRAZY/"Remember") [7:35]. . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:10 Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:35 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:55 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or NEWS stories is encouraged to email "T.W.O."
