Bush, while gay and progressive groups and supportive Senate Democrats challenge the Bush nominations of Christian conservative former Missouri U.S. Senator John Ashcroft for Attorney General and Colorado Attorney General (and Amendment 2 defender) Gale Norton for Secretary of the Interior; gay Republicans and their friends gather at a pre-inauguration "Unity Breakfast", pledging to work for a more accepting G.O.P., while the National Stonewall Democrats and the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force celebrate 8 years of progress during the Clinton administration; the U.S. Army stops discharge proceedings against openly gay Arizona state Representative and Army Reservist Steve May after he promises not to re-enlist; outgoing President Bill Clinton does not forget the queer community during his last week in office [with a brief soundbite from his televised Farewell Address] [written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, JASON LIN, BRIAN NUNES, CHRIS AMBIDGE, REX WOCKNER, MARK KERR, MATT ALSDORF, GREG GORDON & LUCIA CHAPPELLE, and anchored by CINDY FRIEDMAN and CHASE SCHULTE] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10:40 SEGMENT #2 - "AudioFile" billboard [:15] + It might be hard to imagine anything humorous about the "ex-gay" movement, but a new novel by a San Francisco psychotherapist finds lots to laugh about. "THE GOD SQUAD" is the second fiction work from RIK ISENSEE, who also has two self-help books for gay men to his credit. His latest offering has been called "a sharp and sexy satire that skewers the absurd methods used by the ex-gay movement to make gays go straight." Isensee tells correspondent JONE DELVIN (KPFT/Houston's "Lesbian & Gay Voices") how his therapy practice played a role in shaping the novel, and discusses some of those curious "cure" strategies [7:30] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:45 ["The God Squad" is published by iuniverse.com, and may also be ordered online at rikisensee.com, or through some GLBT/progressive bookstores; contact the author at rikisensee@aol.com.] SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by openly-queer British rocker TOM ROBINSON (with an excerpt from the Tom Robinson Band's "Glad To Be Gay") [:30] + A Texas lesbian releases her first CD (excerpts from "Funky Little House" and "Best Loved Girl" from CHRISTY CLAXTON's "Out of Nowhere"), a popular gay singer-songwriter returns to his acoustic roots ("Do You Believe" and the title cut from GRANT KING's "Bodies Of Water"), and a "Lesbian Concentrate" favorite reconstitutes her hit for the new millennium ("Georgia On My Mind" and the title cut from GWEN AVERY's "Sugar Mama") in this month's offerings from the "AudioFile" [hosted by CHRIS WILSON & PAM MARSHALL, with comments by the featured artists, and written & produced with JD DOYLE and CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM] [7:00]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:30 contact information for the featured artists: CHRISTY CLAXTON 3005 S.
