That's a fact not widely known, so the group that rocked Los Angeles audiences in the early 80's has just released a retrospective CD, "Old School on the Down Low," as evidence of its trailblazing work. Age of Consent's politics ranged from radical feminism to anti-Reaganism, but their sharp critiques of queer life, like this performance of "SCHIZO RAP," made for some of their most controversial material . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3:30 [www.ageofconsentrap.com] SEGMENT #3 - Promo for "TWO" 2003 Year in Review CDs (voiced by LUCIA CHAPPELLE) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2:05 [www.thiswayout.org] SEGMENT #4 - Working for gay, lesbian, bi and trans rights has been a big part of LUCY LAWLESS' life ever since the community established itself among her most loyal subjects during her reign as television's "XENA, WARRIOR PRINCESS." Her efforts recently brought the NEW ZEALAND native to LOS ANGELES for a special Pride event. Guest interviewer JENNIFER PIZER, senior staff attorney with the Western Regional Office of Lambda Legal, had a chance to chat with Lawless about her work with the GLBT running group "Frontrunners" and other queer organizations, the marriage issue, women warriors, and... a "Xena" *movie*?
