This year the first ever national research project on MAORI SEXUALITY was launched. The study is being conducted by, about, and for the Maori people themselves, and the researchers are determined to gain a deeper understanding of "Takatapui," the Maori word for gays, lesbians, bisexual and trans-persons. University of Auckland Lecturer and Researcher LEONIE PIHAMA, a Maori lesbian mother and one of the project leaders, talks with This Way Out correspondent UMA KALI SHAKTI [2SER-FM/Sydney's "Gaywaves"] about how and why native peoples are reclaiming their culture (with brief intro music from "Kotahitanga," performed by KAHA from their album "Na Matou"). . . . . . >. . . . . 7:40 SEGMENT #3 - Support "TWO" promo [:30] + "TWO" I.D. by comedian MARGARET CHO [:15] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :45 SEGMENT #4 - "DIE MOMMIE DIE!" is a parody which draws from the same well as last year's highly-regarded "Far From Heaven," but it may have more in common with last month's delightfully droll "Girls Will Be Girls." It was written by and stars drag diva Charles Bush as Angela Arden, a "songstress fallen from fashion." Directed by the openly-gay MARK RUCKER, "Die Mommie Die!" would qualify as a gay film on its camp credentials alone -- but This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE says "Beverly Hills 90210" graduate JASON PREISTLY as Angela's bisexual lover and newcomer STARK SANDS as her gay son steaming up the screen with him pushes it onto the "queer must see" list. Steve shares some preview clips to "Die!" for and chats with Priestly, Sands, and Rucker about this hilarious cinematic homage (with intro/outro music from "Why Not Me," performed by RUTH WILLIAMSON from the movie soundtrack). . . . 8:25 Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :55 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, INDIGENOUS NEW ZEALAND QUEERS RECLAIM THEIR PRE-COLONIAL SEXUALITY...
