SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": Colombia is poised to become the first nation in
Latin America to legally recognize same-gender couples, but Sweden's coalition
government is unraveling over the Prime Minister's refusal to back legislation
upgrading "civil partnerships" to marriage; Massachusetts lawmakers reject a
proposal to put a constitutional amendment banning same-gender marriage on the
ballot, queer activists now target an antiquated law banning out-of-state
lesbigay couples from marrying there, and national LGBT rights groups mark the
40th anniversary of "Loving"; a gay couple's landmark adoption of a baby boy in
Western Australia has the country buzzing; Pride parades in San Jose and
West Hollywood, California, Calgary, Alberta, and Brisbane, Queensland, survives
rock-throwing protesters in Bucharest, Romania, and sets a new world
attendance record in Sao Paulo, Brazil (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to GRAHAM
UNDERHILL and REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by
CHRISTOPHER GAAL and DON LUPO) [9:58] + Lily Tomlin interview billboard [:09] . . .
. . . . 10:07
SEGMENT #2 - Just days before the state legislature voted down a threat to
marriage equality in Massachusetts, BOSTON's LGBT community celebrated Pride
with a bang. Paving the way for the mass march, at least a thousand people took
to the streets the night before for the annual DYKE MARCH. HELEN MATTHEWS,
who's known locally as "Homefries," hit the streets to talk with organizers and
participants about building community, and challenging militarism and
trans-phobia. . . . . 7:49
SEGMENT #3 - Why is June the traditional month of queer pride? "The
Stonewall Rebellion" answers that question in a "RAINBOW MINUTE" (produced by JUDD
PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by DUSTIN
RICHARDSON) [1:04] + "TWO" I.D. by New Zealand's GEORGINA BEYER, the world's first
transsexual elected official [:12]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . 1:16
SEGMENT #4 - LILY TOMLIN is one of world's foremost comediennes, with the
prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor among her many honors. She's
created the ever-so-"truthful" Edith Ann, the telephone company's memorable
Ernestine, and a host of other off-beat characters during her long career on
television, in movies, and on stage. In anticipation of her Pride weekend
performances June 21st and 22nd in MINNEAPOLIS, Tomlin chatted with host DIXIE
TREICHEL of KFAI-FM’s "Fresh Fruit" Collective, and members LEIGH COMBS, JOHN
TOWNSEND, and NORMAN STRIZEK. . . . . . . . . . . . 6:51
