Backed by Canada's national queer rights lobby group EGALE (Equality for Gays And Lesbians Everywhere), the couples argued that refusing queers the right to marry violates Canada's constitutional guarantee of equality regardless of sexual orientation. The Federal Government is arguing against their application, supported by two coalitions of religious interveners, including one of the Americas' leading anti-queer groups, Focus on the Family. HEATHER KITCHING [of "Queer FM" on CITR/Vancouver] has the details (includes comments by EGALE's JOHN FISHER, and with intro music from "Married" by KELLY HUNTER, from the original London cast recording of "Cabaret"). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4:10 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by openly gay New Zealand Cabinet Minister CHRIS CARTER [:15] + As we once again open up our "AUDIOFILE" on the queer music scene, we find an activist/singer's debut [excerpts from "Shades of Blue" and the title track from KEVIN ALLRED's "Sick Today"], the intimacy of a bisexual vocalist's first live CD ["Diamond In The Rough" and "The Middle" from EDIE CAREY's "Come Close - The Live (Photo) Album"], and a gay troubadour's much-anticipated second "outing" ["Geriatriphilia" and "Noid Noid" from DAVID CLEMENT's "Your Free Gift"] [with comments by the artists about their music, hosted by CHRIS WILSON & JD DOYLE and written & produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM] [8:00] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:15 = artist contact info = KEVIN ALLRED EDIE CAREY DAVID CLEMENT 1303 N 400 East #2A edie@ediecarey.com 561 Hudson Street #37 Logan, UT 84341 www.ediecarey.com New York, N.Y. 10014 gitman13@yahoo.com DavidClementInfo@aol.com www.kevinallred.com www.davidclement.com SEGMENT #4 - "This Way Out" has been on the air for nearly 15 years now, made possible largely through the support of individual listeners.
