Written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, and with comments by winning candidates CAROL MIGDEN of California and DEBORAH GLICK of New York and Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund Political Director BOB KEARNEY via correspondent JOANNE POWERS [WORT-FM/Madison, Wisconsin], CINDY FRIEDMAN & CHRISTOPHER GAAL review the details . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6:55 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by DOUG STEVENS & THE OUTBAND (with an excerpt from their "Out In The Country") [:35] + The huge Aussie Stadium was filled to near queer capacity on November 4th for the spectacular OPENING CEREMONIES of the 2002 GAY GAMES IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA. Seventy-seven countries from Antarctica to Zimbabwe were represented by over 13,000 athletes and participants in the weeklong sports and coinciding cultural and political events. As they all gathered with some 35,000 spectators for the gala kick-off, appropriately called "Fabulous", This Way Out correspondent MICHAEL SCHEMBRI [2SER-FM/Sydney's "Gaywaves"] sat among the cheering crowd; he shares some of the proceedings from that audio angle, starting with the countdown led by MOLLY MELDRUM and comments by Federation of Gay Games co-p residents KATHLEEN WEBSTER & ROBERTO MENTACCI. Other highlights include the MARCH OF THE HEROES ­- 13,100 athletes in all (including the cheers-inducing Indian & Pakistani contingents entering the stadium together) -- and a Welcome to Country Ceremony by native ABORIGINAL performers. You'll sample a bit of lesbian chanteuse K.D. LANG's performance, openly gay JUSTICE MICHAEL KIRBY's keynote address, and then NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNOR MARIE BASHIR officially opens the Games [9:50]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10:25 Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:15 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", SAMPLING THE SHOW, THE SPORT AND THE SPIRIT OF THE 2002 SYDNEY GAY GAMES, AND CONGRESSIONAL AND NEVADA LOSSES CLOUD MOSTLY QUEER-POSITIVE U.S. ELECTIONS...
