But individually and in organized groups, queer students and their supporters are fighting back, and some of them are winning -- and winning big. In the settlement of a Reno, Nevada lawsuit filed by the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, a U.S. federal judge awarded nearly half a million dollars to a gay student who was continuously abused and harassed by his peers while the school district did nothing to stop it. This Way Out's BRYAN GOEBEL [with production assistance by PAUL JAFFE] catches up with now 21-year-old San Francisco resident DEREK HENKLE and discovers that the young man is not just "settling" for his legal victory (intro music: "Teen Freak" by DAVID BROWN; with additional music from "My Heart... So Blue" & "Cry So Easy" by ERASURE, "Sofa Rockers" by KRUDER AND DORFMEISTER, and "Burn Girl Prom Queen" by MOGWAI) [8:40]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9:15 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", DEREK HENKLE'S HARASSMENT SETTLEMENT SPURS HIS SAFER SCHOOLS ACTIVISM – HEAR HIS HARROWING STORY...
