The mission statement of the Choir, whose album just received two prestigious Outmusic Award nominations, proclaims, "We endeavor to demonstrate that the preconceived notion of a bi-polar, heterosexual, hetero-gendered 'natural order' is not reflected in the nature of God or the ministry of Jesus Christ.". . . . . . . . 10:00 [www.tgchoir.org] Closing continuity/credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:20 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:00 ----------------------------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 GOSPEL-SINGING, RELIGION-ROCKING TRANS-CHOIR TRANSCENDS INTOLERANCE...
