THIS WAY OUT
the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
RUNDOWN for Program #989, distributed 03/12/07
(hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
Jamaica activists fight their homeland's homophobic heritage;
The brother-sister triangle at the heart of "Gray Matters";
Euro-mayors criticize their Moscow counterpart's blatant bias, Riga's
new mayor supports Pride, inclusive Irish exit NYC for Dublin's St. Pat
parade, U.S. Equality Riders get a rough welcome at Christian colleges,
a Turkish activist escapes porn charges, and more global GLBT news
Opening teases/theme music/intro continuity . . . . . . . . . . 1:13
SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": The openly gay mayors of Berlin and Paris and the
queer-friendly mayor of London criticize Pride-banning homophobic Moscow Mayor
Yuri Luzhkov during their annual summit, but the new mayor of the Latvian
capital of Riga green-lights a march there, while New York City's openly lesbian
Irish-American Council Speaker chooses Dublin over her own city to celebrate
St. Patrick's Day; Soulforce students face ugly opposition as their second
annual Equality Ride begins, while right-wing U.S. columnist Ann Coulter discovers
there's a price to be paid for using the ugly "f-word"; partner healthcare
benefits advance in Hawai'i and Minnesota, while a bill to ban them fails in
Kentucky, but Utah lawmakers refuse to repeal the state's sodomy law; a failed
Oklahoma Baptist minister escapes jail time for soliciting an undercover cop,
and the editor of Turkey's only gay magazine is acquitted on pornography
charges (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to LUCIA CHAPPELLE, GRAHAM UNDERHILL
and REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by JON BEAUPRE and
CHRISTOPHER GAAL) [10:36] + "Gray Matters" billboard [:08]. . . . . . . .

SEGMENT #2 - Jamaican queers have seen little improvement in their lot since
2005, when two representatives of the JAMAICA FORUM FOR LESBIANS,
ALL-SEXUALS, AND GAYS, or J-FLAG, came to the U.S. to network with activists and lobby
government officials. However, contacts that GARETH and KARLENE made on that
trip, with the assistance of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have
been paying off in the wake of a violent Valentine's Day incident. Gareth
himself was one of four gay men trapped inside a St. Andrew's Parish store by a
homophobic mob of over 200. Police were slow to intervene until J-FLAG's
foreign allies applied the pressure, and there’s an ongoing international campaign
to insure the continued safety of the victims, and the human rights of all
Jamaican LGBT people. Breaking through their society's profoundly anti-lesbigay
attitudes is an almost overwhelming task, as Gareth and Karlene explain to
This Way Out's LUCIA CHAPPELLE in the conclusion of this 3-part series (with
intro/outro music from "Get Up, Stand Up" by PETER TOSH). . . . . . . . . . . . .

SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D./CDs promo by LUCIA CHAPPELLE [:35] + Can good gay
movies come from non-gay artists? Our award-winning entertainment reporter
STEVE PRIDE considers that question in his preview of "GRAY MATTERS," described as
"a romantic comedy about a brother, a sister, and the girl of their dreams"
(includes comments by writer/director SUE KRAMER and stars HEATHER GRAHAM and
TOM CAVANAGH, clips from the film also featuring MOLLY SHANNON and BRIDGET
MOYNAHAN, and intro/outro music from "I Will Survive" by GLORIA GAYNOR) [7:59]. .
