USAGE LIMITED ONLY BY TIMELINESS OF NEWS CONTENT! => RUNDOWN <= Opening teases/theme music/intro continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:05 SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": Swiss voters heartily endorse legal registered partnerships for gay & lesbian couples in the world's first national referendum on that subject, while Roman Catholic Pope Benedict XVI condemns legal recognition of such relationships as "expressions of anarchic freedom", and a "wedding" protest of Papal anti-queer policies is held at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris; Israel's Knesset narrowly approves on its first reading a bill to grant inheritance rights to same gender partners if one dies without leaving a will; as part of a deal brokered by the ruling Republicans and the minority Democrats in the U.S. Senate, President George W. Bush nominee and rabidly homophobic former Alabama Attorney General William Pryor is confirmed to a life time appointment on the federal appeals bench; ostensibly citing concerns over the spread of HIV, Singapore officials deny a permit for the fourth annual Nation party, a gay event that reportedly drew 8,000 people last year and generated tourist revenues worth millions of dollars -- so organizers will hold it in Phuket, Thailand instead; Pride events are held in Seoul, South Korea; Christchurch, New Zealand; Milan, Italy; Tel Aviv, Israel; and, despite the mayor's ban, in Warsaw, Poland (written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to Graham Underhill, Rex Wockner, and Greg Gordon, and reported this week by CINDY FRIEDMAN & CHRISTOPHER GAAL) . . . 9:55 SEGMENT #2 - "WHAT'S A STONEWALL, AND WHO WAS CHRISTOPHER STREET?" It's a question of Pride, and it comes up every year at this time. Sadly, the story of the pivotal event in the contemporary GLBT movement for equality won't be found in most history textbooks, and too many GLBT people -- especially the up-and-coming-out younger generation ­- know little about what the aannual celebrations commemorate. "This Way Out" hosts GREG GORDON and LUCIA CHAPPELLE address that problem with this audio montage about the genesis of Pride. Included: excerpts from "Pride" by OutMusic Award winner JON GILBERT LEAVITT; DEBBIE LEMPKE's "Gay and Proud" performed by the BERKELEY WOMEN'S MUSIC COLLECTIVE, and lesbian-feminist icon JUDY GRAHN reading from her "A History of Lesbianism" (both from the historic 1977 Olivia Records compilation "Lesbian Concentrate"); excerpts from a January 1969 gay radio program (six months before the Stonewall Rebellion) on Pacifica Radio's WBAI-New York City, in which BAIRD SEARLES and KERMIT LAMB lament the lack of pride and courage in the "homosexual community"; excerpts from a 1970 audio documentary about the Stonewall Rebellion narrated by BRETT ARTERY and featuring an eyewitness account by pioneering activist CRAIG RODWELL; "Long Hot Summer", a raucous ode to the Stonewall Rebellion by the legendary British rockers THE TOM ROBINSON BAND (from their landmark album "Power In The Darkness"); reporter GABRIELLE ANTOLOVICH's vox pop from an annual pride parade on the streets of West Hollywood, California; and "Gay History Rap", a live-in-concert rappin' retelling of the Stonewall tale by AGE OF CONSENT. . . 16:30 Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:25 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:55 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," THE SWISS PARTNERSHIPS PLEBISCITE SPURS UNPLEASANT PAPAL PRONOUNCEMENTS, NOTRE DAME BLUSHES AT A PARISIAN LESBIAN WED-IN, KNESSET CONSERVATIVES CONDEMN AN ISRAELI INHERITANCE RIGHTS BILL, A HOMOPHOBIC JUDGE SLIDES THROUGH THE U.S. SENATE IN A FILIBUSTER COMPROMISE, SINGAPORE'S SHUT-OUT SENDS A QUEER EVENT TO THAILAND, PRIDE MARCHES FROM SEOUL TO WARSAW...
