But as This Way Out's LUCIA CHAPPELLE discovered at a September 29th demonstration attended by about 2,500 at the Westside Federal Building in Los Angeles, while some were "inspired" by Rev. Jerry Falwell's widely publicized assertion that progressive achievements like gay & lesbian civil rights set the stage for the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, that wasn't the only motivating factor (with comments by queer organizers and participants, including JOE DELAPLAINE of the Stonewall Initiative for Equal Rights and WEST HOLLYWOOD MAYOR STEVE MARTIN) [8:05] . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:15 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by comic actor TERRY SWEENEY (as "Nancy Reagan") [:15] + PAUL LUSSIER has put the "revolution" back into the American Revolution with his new novel, "LAST REFUGE OF SCOUNDRELS" (Warner Books), which tells the story of an unsung army of ordinary Americans who sought freedom from poverty and social inequalities and, rather than most of the self-interested "Founding Fathers", should be honored as the real heroes of the U.S. War for Independence. Openly-gay television producer Lussier spent nearly a decade researching his book, which among other things reveals that George Washington's chief strategist was a cross-dressing prostitute. As the novelist explains in this first of a two-part conversation with This Way Out's RITA GONZALEZ, his "fiction" is just as true as the traditional history of the Revolutionary War that every American has learned in school (intro music from "Revolution" by THE BEATLES) [7:30] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:45 [concludes next week] Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:45 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", GAYS AND LESBIANS WAGE PEACE IN U.S. DEMONSTRATIONS, AND DISCOVERING A *NOVEL* APPROACH TO THE "FOUNDING QUEERS" OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION...
