Enthusiasm over the victory was tempered by the fact that the bill's chances of reaching a floor vote in the House are slim. But as DON RUSH of Pacifica Network News reports, the move to expand federal jurisdiction in the investigation and prosecution of bias-motivated crimes and to add sexual orientation, gender and disability as protected categories is gaining acceptance (includes comments by co-sponsoring Senators TED KENNEDY and GORDON SMITH, Laramie, Wyoming police Commander DAVID O'MALLEY, TIM LYNCH of the Libertarian-funded Kato Institute, ELIZABETH BIRCH of the lesbigay advocacy group Human Rights Campaign, and WADE HENDERSON of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights) [4:00] . . . . . . . . . . . 4:10 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by activist Chastity Bono [:05] + The title "Renaissance Man" could have been coined for author, playwright, artist, film producer, director, and screenwriter CLIVE BARKER. With over forty books to his credit -- including the bestsellers "Weaveworld," "Imajica," "Galilee" and "The Essential Clive Barker" -- Barker has also scripted eleven films, including the "Hellraiser" and "Candyman" series, and he directed "Lords Of Illusion" and "Nightbreed." He was the executive producer of the Academy Award-winning "Gods and Monsters," which depicted the life of another gay horror film director, James Whale. In his spare time Barker is a book illustrator and a critically acclaimed painter. "This Way Out's" STEVE PRIDE chats with this multi-talented and multi-faceted man about his life and love, whether or not there's such a thing as a "gay sensibility", being an openly-gay artist ... and those things that go bump in the night (with brief intro/outro music from "Thriller" by MICHAEL JACKSON) [11:30]. . . . . . . . >. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11:35 Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:40 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:00 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email "TWO" Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", HORROR-MASTER CLIVE BARKER ON HIS GAY LIFE, LOVE, AND THOSE THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT ...
