Many of these booted soldiers are highly-trained experts with skills vital to the Bush Administration's so-called "war on terror." There may be a new, more dangerous show on the world stage now, but these discharges are a re-run of the experiences of lesbigay armed forces personnel during the first Iraq War, conducted by the first George Bush. Pentagon policy at that time completely banned gay or lesbian military service. More than a decade after a fledgling Democratic President Bill Clinton and an entrenched Republican Congress instituted the allegedly more compassionate "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, there remain common threads in the stories of servicemembers then and now. "This Way Out" carried the voices of GAYS AND LESBIANS INVOLVED IN THE GULF WAR DURING 1991 -- but many of these stories could be last week's news (includes the experiences of DONNA LYNN JACKSON, ERIC BARKER, and DUSTY PRUITT, and comments by former Reagan advisor LAWRENCE KORB, then-Defense Secretary DICK CHENEY, National Black Gay and Lesbian Leadership Forum leader PHILL WILSON, and AIDS Quilt founder CLEVE JONES, with music by GRAHAM NASH, MARTIN F. SWINGER and MICHAEL CALLEN). . . . . . . . . . 15:15 Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:45 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", GAYS & LESBIANS IN THE U.S. MILITARY: EVERYTHING OLD IS "NEWS" AGAIN IN A QUEER LOOK BACK AT THE 1991 IRAQ WAR...
