SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": A bomb that disperses flyers condemning the
upcoming LGBT Pride parade injures a man working in a Jerusalem-area settlement;
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams says conservative fellow Anglican clerics
who cite the Bible to condemn homosexuality are misreading a key passage
written by Saint Paul in "Romans," while more than 200 clergy members representing
a wide range of religious denominations from every state in the U.S. gather
in the nation's capital to lobby for passage of federal hate crime and job bias
protection bills for gays and lesbians; Oregon's governor says he'll sign a
bill passed this week by the state legislature banning sexual orientation
discrimination, while New Hampshire's governor promises to sign a civil unions
bill for same-gender couples that has passed in the state House and is predicted
to pass in the Senate; LGBT students and their allies at more than 5,000
schools across the U.S. observe the 11th annual "National Day of Silence" to draw
attention to homophobia on campus, while the president of the LGBT Alliance at
Virginia Tech says gays and lesbians were among the victims of the horrific
massacre there, but that "it's an everybody thing"; a Moscow court rejects
libel charges filed by Pride parade organizers against Mayor Yuri Luzhkov for his
comments that such events are "satanic"; and the heterosexually-married
mayor of Madison, Wisconsin and half the city council make history by including a
condemnation of the recently-passed state ban on same-gender marriage in their
oaths of office (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to LUCIA CHAPPELLE,
GRAHAM UNDERHILL and REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY; reported this week by LUCIA
CHAPPELLE & GREG GORDON) [11:03] + Stuart Timmons interview billboard [:10]. . .

SEGMENT #2 - A "RAINBOW MINUTE" remembers "KEITH HARING: ARTIST AND
ACTIVIST" (produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at the studios of WRIR-FM in
Richmond, Virginia and read by DUSTIN RICHARDSON). . 1:06
SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by openly gay AIDS activist and Olympic diving champ
GREG LOUGANIS [:08] + Last month, ACT UP instigator LARRY KRAMER set the
community buzzing with a speech marking the twentieth anniversary of the AIDS
Coalition to Unleash Power. In his typical firebrand fashion, Kramer raised
controversy with his low estimation of the movement's progress, his assertion
that LGBT people are still hated even by their allies, and his call for a new
queer army of street activists. Many people have criticized the
activist/novelist/playwright for disparaging the movement's real accomplishments and misusing
facts to prove his exaggerated claims. The familiar-sounding argument
prompted This Way Out's LUCIA CHAPPELLE to look up gay historian STUART TIMMONS. The
author of "The Trouble with Harry Hay, the Founder of the Gay Movement" and
co-author with Lillian Faderman of "Gay LA: A History of Sexual Outlaws, Power
Politics, and Lipstick Lesbians," discusses the current debate from a
different perspective (with outro music from "Give Your Hands to Struggle" by SWEET
HONEY IN THE ROCK) . . . 13:48
