Opening teases/theme music/intro continuity . . . . . . . . . . 1:14
SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": Hundreds in New York City celebrate the 20th
anniversary of ACT UP the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power  “ with 27 arrests at a
"die-in" demanding a single-payer health care system and drug price controls,
while a smaller group avoids arrests at a similar action in San Francisco;
the second year of an "Equality Ride," sponsored by the ecumenical group
Soulforce and carrying young activists on two buses to several conservative Christian
colleges across the U.S. that silence or expel LGBT students, face uglier
opposition and more arrests at several campuses, including at a sit-in at the
office of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Albert Mohler
protesting his much-publicized comments that even if sexuality is biologically-based,
prenatal treatment to reverse a homosexual orientation is biblically justified,
and harsh punishments, judicial threats and steep fines for "trespassers" at
Mississippi College in Clinton and Baylor University in Waco, Texas; two
prominent U.S. seminaries for Conservative Judaism announce their acceptance of
openly-queer students for ordination, but Jerusalem's leading rabbinical
seminary won't change its policy barring non-celibate lesbian and gay rabbis; Arab
lesbians defy Islamic taboos with a rare conference in the northern Israeli
city of Haifa; and Sir Elton John celebrates his 60th birthday with a
star-studded party and record-breaking 60th concert at New York's Madison Square Garden
(written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL and REX WOCKNER with
BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by DON LUPO and RICK WATTS) [9:56] +
billboard for Indonesia feature story and "Audiofile" [:05] . . 10:01
SEGMENT #2 - ARIZONA SENATOR JOHN McCAIN punctured a political tire on the
second day of his Republican presidential campaign bus tour in mid-March.
According to a "New York Times" report by Adam Nagourney, the flat on McCain's
"Straight Talk Express" occurred when an unnamed reporter asked the prospective
candidate's position on the distribution of taxpayer-subsidized condoms to
fight the spread of AIDS in Africa. In a shaky response punctuated by long pauses
and nervous laughter, McCain deferred to the "wisdom" of conservative
Republican Senator (and Dr.) Tom Coburn, as he desperately sought assistance from his
press secretary and senior advisor. With our RICK WATTS as "The Reporter"
and DON LUPO as "Senator McCain" reading from a transcript of the exchange, This
Way Out's LUCIA CHAPPELLE has the bumpy details. . . 3:20
SEGMENT #3 "TWO" I.D./CDs promo voiced by LUCIA CHAPPELLE [:36] +
"Audiofile" billboard (intro'd by musical teases) [:27] + A brave gay man is
standing pretty much alone in INDONESIA. Growing conservative pressure in his
country has made the northern province of ACEH where he lives the first in the
mostly moderate Islamic country to enforce Sharia, or religious law. Women's and
other human rights groups were already raising the alarm about the
interpretation of "moral crimes" when the police burst through the door of this now gay
"activist" man. From Radio 68H in JAKARTA, REBECCA HENSCHKE filed this report
for FREE SPEECH RADIO NEWS [4:10]. . . . . . 5:13

SEGMENT #4 - "Support public radio" "TWO" I.D. by legendary lesbian
singer/songwriter JANIS IAN [:11] + Artists representing three countries and diverse
musical styles each bring their powerful personal experiences to this edition
of the "AUDIOFILE" (excerpts from "Inside Out" and "I Will Follow" from
Toronto-based MICAH BARNES' self-titled CD; "Shades of Grey" and "Nature of the
Drug" from Londoner DREW PILGRAM's "MAGNETIC SIDEWAYS PULL"; and "Free Man" and
"Echo" from Nashville-based FREDDY FREEMAN's "BREAK THE SILENCE" -- with
