PETER DRUCKER, a U.S. activist based in the Netherlands, has edited an anthology of essays by several Third World activists called "DIFFERENT RAINBOWS" (Gay Men's Press). During the first two of a 3-part This Way Out conversation, correspondent MICHAEL SCHEMBRI [2SER-FM/Sydney's "Gaywaves"] has talked with Drucker about the influences of globalization on Third World queer liberation movements, and activist successes and challenges in confrontations with religion and post-colonial mindsets. In this week's conclusion, Drucker assesses the impact of the so-called "War on Terrorism" on both Third World queer liberation movements and in the participating Western countries; expands on different societal values between the West and most Third World countries, such as the typical Asian emphasis on family and "not making waves"; behaviors that challenge the usual Western definitions of "gay" or "lesbian", such as women-loving-women in the former South American Dutch colony of Surinam; how differing notions of queer identity in the Third World can be a healthy challenge to traditional Western concepts, such as the transgender-dominated liberation movements in some Third World countries; and the importance of queer activist linkages to broader social change movements, such as the growing anti-globalization movement (intro/outro music throughout this series has been performed by OMAR FARUK TEKBILEK). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9:40 SEGMENT #4 - "TWO" I.D. by sex advice columnist and self-avowed "female pornographer" SUSIE BRIGHT ("Susie Sexpert") [:15] + For some parents a young child's asking "what does 'gay' mean?" could be a perplexing challenge, but in this charming remembrance by PETER DELL, a simple question gets a simple answer, thanks to some "Fairy Godparents" [produced by STEVE PRIDE & JON BEAUPRE] [5:15]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5:30 Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:25 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:55 ----------------------------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", THE "WAR ON TEORRISM"'S TOLL ON THIRD WORLD QUEER LIBERATION MOVEMENTS AND THE COMPLEXITIES OF "IDENTITY"...
