Financial scandal had the governing Liberal party plummeting in the polls, and it looked as though victory might go to the newly minted Conservative Party of Canada -- the product of a merger between the Progressive Conservatives and the notoriously anti-queer Canadian Alliance. Equal marriage activists worked tirelessly to expose the extremist viewpoints lurking behind the Conservative's moderate veneer, and in the end, as HEATHER KITCHING ["Queer FM/CITR-Vancouver] reports, their efforts paid off [with comments by MARY WOO SIMS of Canadians for Equal Marriage and BILL SIKSAY, 18-year assistant to pioneering openly gay former MP Svend Robinson, who was elected to Robinson's seat]. . . . . 5:00 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by performance artist LUIS ALFARO and comedian MONICA PALACIOS [over :15 instrumental beginning of intro music] + Arts funding has always been a bone of contention in U.S. politics, and queer artists have frequently been accused of using government money for "indecent" purposes. But the programs that brought lesbian performance artist DANIELLE BRAZELL from a rough neighborhood of Southern California's San Fernando Valley to the "HIGHWAYS" of social change could not have had a more wholesome impact on her. That's what got This Way Out correspondent NANCY BEVERLY ["IMRU"/KPFK-Los Angeles] interested in Brazell's story [with intro music from "Best Friend (The Unicorn Song)" by MARGIE ADAM] . . . . . 11:35 Closing continuity/credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:25 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," LESBIAN PERFORMANCE ARTIST DANIELLE BRAZELL EXPLORES REVOLUTIONARY "HIGHWAYS", AND MARRIAGE RIGHTS SEEM SAFE AFTER CANADA'S CLOSE-CALL ELECTIONS...
