There will no doubt be several memorials and hundreds of eulogies for the ubiquitous progressive activist and co-founder of the pre-Stonewall gay rights organization the Mattachine Society. But Hay's own voice is the best expression of why he was so important in the development of modern queer consciousness. In the mid-1970s he got together with his old friend JIM KEPNER, founder of the International Gay & Lesbian Archives, for this illuminating conversation about Hay's politics and philosophy, including his influential ideas about the unique role sexual minorities play in a diverse society (with thanks to Brian DeShazor of the Pacifica Radio Archives and Pat Allen of the ONE Institute/International Gay & Lesbian Archives, and with music from "Harry Hay" by BOYS ENTRANCE, lead vocals and written by TIM CAIN, from their CD "The Queer Punk Folder"). . . . 15:20 Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:35 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", ENDURING WORDS FROM ORIGINAL "RADICAL FAERIE" HARRY HAY, WHO DIED ON OCTOBER 24TH AT THE AGE OF 90...
