British Columbia soon followed. Since those momentous days, there have been many highs and lows for lesbian and gay couples -- increasingly passionate support for marriage from the Canadian government, intensified opposition from the religious right, and a disconcerting lack of commitment on the issue from the man expected to become the new Prime Minister early next year. HEATHER KITCHING ["Queer FM"/CITR-Vancouver] takes us through the latest developments in Canada's journey towards implementing full equal marriage rights (includes comments by DOUGLAS ELLIOTT, attorney for one of the Ontario marriage lawsuit plaintiffs; National Democratic Party leader JACK LAYTON; and Canadian Minister of Justice MARTIN CAUCHON, and with intro/outro music from "Pick A Little Talk A Little" from "The Music Man" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [7:30] + "TWO" I.D. by bisexual British singer/songwriter TOM ROBINSON (with an excerpt from the TOM ROBINSON BAND's late 1970's classic "Glad To Be Gay") [:30] . . . >. 8:00 SEGMENT #3 - Bisexual musicians are not always identified as such in their press kits and CD notes. That's why award-winning singer/songwriter SKOTT FREEDMAN is bringing his fellow bi performers out of the closet with a new compilation CD called "BI THE PEOPLE". This Way Out's JD DOYLE has some preview excerpts by JILL SOBULE ("Saw A Cop"), LAYA FISHER ("Dick and Jane") and Freedman himself ("The Price You Paid"), and chats with the producer/performer about the music and the message. . . . . . . . . 8:40 "Bi The People" info: www.vyrecords.com SKOTT FREEDMAN Violent Yodel Productions P.O.
