It started back in 1996, when the federal government outlawed discrimination based on sexual orientation. It peaked last year when the country became the fourth in the world to legalize same gender marriage. But the future of LGBT rights seemed in doubt last month as the country headed into a January 23rd federal election. The queer-positive Liberal Party, which had ruled the country for almost 13 years, seemed destined to go down to defeat to the one party in the country that has opposed marriage equality -- the Conservatives. This Way Out correspondent HEATHER KITCHING ["Queer FM"/CiTR-Vancouver] offers some post-elections analysis, with comments by gay Conservative organizer GARY MITCHELL and LAURIE ARRON of EGALE, the country's leading queer advocacy group. 7:45 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by JIMMY SOMERVILLE (over instrumental intro to "Come On") [:10] + When the legendary Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras throws its gala event this year, the legendary JIMMY SOMERVILLE will be the headline act. The openly gay Somerville came to fame with mid-80s BRONSKI BEAT hits "Smalltown Boy" and "(Tell Me) Why". He's also bringing his new "Evolve" show to Sydney and Melbourne, joined by each city's Gay & Lesbian Choir. This Way Out correspondent JOHN FRAME ["Queer Radio"/4ZZZ-Brisbane] shared a pre-tour and pre-bedtime cup of tea with Somerville, chatting about his latest CD "Home Again", the nonsense of unequal age of consent laws, boy band "outings" -- and his heartfelt belief in humanity (with music from "Come On" from "Home Again" and Bronski Beat's "Why") [7:05]. . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:15 Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:25 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:00 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", QUEERS CALCULATE THE IMPACT OF CANADA'S CONSERVATIVE CONVERSION...
