There won't be an answer to that question this year -- at least not in JERUSALEM, where a planned ten-day WORLDPRIDE celebration has been postponed. Unfortunately the festival and parade that would bring queer people from around the world to the city that three major religions consider "holy" would have coincided with Israel's pullout from Gaza and the West Bank. But timing is not the only sensitive matter facing gay and lesbian activists in the context of Mid-East politics. This Way Out's BRYAN GOEBEL reports from San Francisco, where the postponement was announced (featuring HAGAI EL-AD, Executive Director, Jerusalem Open House; PASTOR LEO GIOVINETTI, Mission Valley Christian Fellowship, San Diego, California; and KATE RAPHAEL of the San Francisco-based QUIT -- Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism; with brief intro music from "Dancing With Chairs" by METROPOLITAN KLEZMER and a slightly edited version of "Peace On Earth" by MARK ISLAM as outro music). . . . . 14:55 Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:55 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," THE STORY OF WORLDPRIDE'S POSTPONEMENT 'TIL "NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM"...
