It also started a new mission for then-Human Rights Campaign spokesperson WAYNE BESEN, the man who held the camera that fateful night. "ANYTHING BUT STRAIGHT: UNMASKING THE SCANDALS AND LIES BEHIND THE EX-GAY MYTH" [Harrington Park Press] is Besen's extensive -- and sometimes alarming -- study of the groups that claim they can "cure" homosexuality. This Way Out's RALPH RADEBAUGH talks with Besen about his findings (included: a brief history of the "ex gay" movement, some of the "therapies" used, what happened when he infiltrated "cure" seminars, the most outrageous lie and worst scandal, and why he wrote the book) (with intro music from "Why Try To Change Me Now" by ADELE ANDERSON) [7:30] + outro music: a shortened version of "Make Your Own Kind of Music" by MATT YEE [1:45] + "TWO" I.D. by MATT YEE [:10] . . . . . . . . . . . . 9:25 [www.anythingbutstraight.com] SEGMENT #3 - A lead singer's solo debut (excerpts from "Trying Here" and the title cut from "AND SO HERE" by BILL BUDD), a new twist on "pomp rock" ("100 mg" and "Little Monster" from "FIENDISH" by PHIDEAUX), and a band of sisters ("Imagination" and the title cut from "GIRL" by SISTERFUNK) are the featured CDs on this month's report from the "AUDIOFILE" [with comments by the artists, hosted by CHRIS WILSON & JD DOYLE and written and produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM] [www.audiofile.org]. . . . . . . . 7:00 = artist contact info = BILL BUDD PHIDEAUX SISTERFUNK 220 E.
