However, many of them would also make the argument that the progressive branches of Judaism are the most queer-supportive of the major religions. This Way Out's JOSY CATTOGIO chats with "Queer Jews" co-editor CARYN AVIV, who says that her book with David Shneer [published by Routledge] allows a new generation of voices to explore a complicated subject, especially by including in the mix Jewish bisexuals and transgenders (probably for the first time in print); also discussed: comparing life for gay & lesbian Jews in the U.S. and Israel, and progressive queer Jews' conflicted feelings about the political situation in Israel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10:20 SEGMENT #3 ­ "TWO" I.D. by gay novelist ARMISTEAD MAUPIN ("Tales Of the City", "The Night Listener", etc.) [:30] + Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, as gay writer/director/performer DONALD CURRIE (with producer/engineer Jason Gorski) recalls coming of age in the psychedelic tie-dyed whirlwind that was 1960s San Francisco. "SEX AND MAYHEM PART 2" is the latest installment of what Currie calls his "movie made of sound", a fun-filled "autobio-audiobook" newly out on CD. In this excerpt, Currie is ready to embark on the proverbial long strange trip: "But First I Had to Leave My Parents" [4:55]. . . . . . . . . . . . 5:25 (http://cdbaby.com/donaldcurrie) Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:15 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:35 ----------------------------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", "QUEER JEWS" SHARE THEIR MITZVAHS AND TSURIS, AND LEAVING THE NEST IN QUEER 60'S SAN FRANCISCO LEADS TO NEW "SEX & MAYHEM"...
