It's that time of year, of course. But such "public displays" were unthinkable before the last weekend of June in 1969. It was illegal to serve alcohol to homosexuals or for 2 men to dance together in many cities then, lesbigay bars were often run by organized crime, drink prices were inflated, and police raids and subsequent public ruination were routine. All that changed when the queer patrons of the STONEWALL INN on CHRISTOPHER STREET in New York City's Greenwich Village finally had enough. Sadly, accounts of the pivotal event in the contemporary queer movement for equality won't be found in most history textbooks, and too many LGBT people -- especially the up-and-coming-out younger generation ­- know little about what the aannual celebrations commemorate. "This Way Out's" GREG GORDON and LUCIA CHAPPELLE address that problem with this audio montage about the GENESIS OF PRIDE. Included: excerpts from "Pride," written and performed by 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 in New York City, during 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; an edited version of "Long Hot Summer", a raucous ode to the Stonewall Rebellion by legendary British rockers THE TOM ROBINSON BAND (from their groundbreaking 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. . . . 16:15 Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:25 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:55 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", WHY WE PARADE AND PARTY WITH PRIDE: THE STORY OF THE JUNE 1969 STONEWALL REBELLION IN SOUNDBITE AND SONG...
