Presented by Brazil at the Commission's last session, that resolution identifies sexual diversity as an integral part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This Way Out correspondent UMA KALI SHAKTI, traveled to the Philippines from her home base in Sydney to attend the ILGA Conference, and discussed the accomplishments of the gathering -- and its attendant controversies -- with her 2SER-FM/"Gaywaves" broadcast partner MICHAEL SCHEMBRI shortly after her return [7:05] + "TWO" I.D. by iconic gay writer EDMUND WHITE [:35] . . . 7:40 SEGMENT #3 - Just the news that this documentary was in production ignited a rhetorical firestorm over a year ago.

Producer/director LOUISE HOGARTH is used to the heat, and her documentary, which has collected critical acclaim and international film festival awards, will have its world television premier on the U.S. Sundance Channel on February 2nd. What makes "The Gift" the most controversial HIV/AIDS film yet? This Way Out correspondents CHRIS ALLEN and MARK ARMSTRONG ["IMRU"/KPFK-Los Angeles] sat down with Hogarth to get some answers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:55 Closing continuity/credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:05 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:50 ----------------------------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, A CONTROVERSIAL CINEMATIC "GIFT" URGES NEW GAY H-I-V PREVENTION STRATEGIES, WHILE CONTROVERSY AND A U.N.
