USAGE LIMITED ONLY BY TIMELINESS OF NEWS CONTENT! => RUNDOWN <= Opening teases/theme music/intro continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:20 SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": Scotland's Roman Catholic Bishop Joseph Devine sets off a firestorm by declaring that gays & lesbians can not teach in Catholic schools, while the College of Bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church exacerbates the schism over openly gay clergy and blessing same gender unions in the global Anglican communion by endorsing both; organized opposition by the Christian Democratic People's Party grows in Hungary over the government's plans to create registered partnerships for lesbian & gay couples, while high-profile former MP Klara Ungar, currently a spokesperson for the Free Democratic Party, identifies herself as a lesbian on a TV talk show, becoming only the second Hungarian notable to have ever come out publicly; Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin appoints lesbian feminist activist Nancy Ruth to the national Senate, while the opposition Conservative Party endorses a resolution at its national convention to define marriage as exclusively heterosexual, even though the ruling Liberal Party's federal bill to open marriage to same gender couples is expected to pass during the current parliamentary session; the Netherlands Parliament approves a bill requiring most prospective immigrants to pass a test on Dutch language and culture, including a question about the nation's legal gay & lesbian marriages; Singapore's government denies a permit for a planned benefit concert to promote AIDS awareness by openly-gay Christian rockers Jason and deMarco because it would "promote a gay lifestyle which would be against the public interest"; and yet another gay cruise is denied entry to a Caribbean port -- but officials of the two-island nation of Saint Kitts & Nevis claim it's not because they're gay, but because they're "naturists" (written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to Graham Underhill, Rex Wockner, and Greg Gordon, and reported this week by RICK WATTS & CINDY FRIEDMAN) [10:10] + Audiofile billboard [:10]. . . . . . . . . . . . . 10:20 SEGMENT #2 - ROSANNA FLAMER-CALDERA, Sri Lankan lesbian activist and Secretary-General of the INTERNATIONAL LESBIAN AND GAY ASSOCIATION (ILGA), is at the forefront of the campaign to win passage of a resolution on sexual orientation by the UNITED NATIONS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS. Rosanna's long career as an organizer in the environmental, feminist, and queer movements make her exceptionally qualified for the job, but the task ahead would challenge even a "super hera." The Resolution on Sexuality & Gender -- called "the Brazil Resolution" for the country that first introduced it two years ago -- will be considered by the Commission again in April. Standing in vehement opposition is a formidable coalition of the Vatican and many Islamic countries. This Way Out correspondent UMA KALI SHAKTI caught up with Rosanna during her recent tour of New Zealand and Australia to raise awareness about the U.N. Commission on Human Rights and ILGA's work there. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:30 [www.ilga.org] SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by J-FLAG activists Gareth & Karlene [:10] + "TWO" email lists promo [:50]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:00 SEGMENT #4 - One artist blends R & B and hip hop (excerpts from the title cut and "I'm Right Here" from TORI FIXX'S "MARRY ME"), one mixes folk and pop ("have to do" and "who knows?" from RON MORRIS' "SPEAK TRUE"), and one goes retro (the title cut and "Chapel of Love" from MARK MERCER's "NOTHING LIKE IT") in this month's offering from the "AUDIOFILE" (with comments by each artist about his music, hosted by CHRIS WILSON & JD DOYLE and written and produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM) [www.audiofile.org]. 7:30 = artist contact info = TORI FIXX RON MORRIS MARK MERCER 3441 Emerson Ave. S. #308 19 St. John's Place 3B 350 E. 54th St. 4K Minneapolis, MN 55408 Brooklyn, N.Y. 11217 New York, N.Y. 10022 fixxd4you@torifixx.com ron@ronmorrismusic.com markymarkmusic@yahoo.com www.torifixx.com www.ronmorrismusic.com www.markmercermusic.com Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:10 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:50 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," AN R&B GROOVE, AN INTIMATE VOICE, AND RETRO-POP SPRING FROM THE "AUDIOFILE"...
