SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": A committee drafting Thailand's new constitution
includes rights for "those of other sexual identities"; a Malaysian High Court
judge rejects the second defamation lawsuit filed by former Finance Minister
Anwar Ibrahim against former P.M. Mahathir bin Mohamad for calling his then
heir apparent a homosexual, but Gabor Szetey becomes the first Hungarian cabinet
minister to come out as a gay man; an estimated two-and-a-half million people
flock to Madrid to celebrate EuroPride '07, while the Deputy Defense Minister
and several openly gay soldiers marching for the first time in uniform are
among about 50,000 parading with Pride in the southern Dutch city of Bergen op
Zoom, and four anti-queer protestors are busted at the Pride festival in St.
Petersburg, Florida; the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America removes
Atlanta, Georgia pastor Bradley Schmeling from the pulpit because he's a partnered
gay man, but Reverend Brent Hawkes, who heads the Toronto congregation of the
predominantly LGBT Metropolitan Community Church and led the charge to marriage
equality there, is named to the Order of Canada, the country's highest
civilian honor; priests of at least two Anglican Church of Canada parishes are
vowing to defy the denomination's recent ban on blessing same-gender couples, while
the global Anglican Communion's spiritual leader Rowan Williams is reportedly
reconsidering his refusal to invite openly gay U.S. Episcopal Bishop V. Gene
Robinson to the once-a-decade Lambeth Conference, but homophobic Nigerian
Archbishop Peter Akinola says his delegation will boycott it; and Turkish
equality activists defiantly condemn the raids on two gay bars in Istanbul (written
by GREG GORDON, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL and REX WOCKNER with BILL
KELLEY, and reported this week by RICK WATTS and GREG GORDON) . . . . . . . 10:38
SEGMENT #2 - "PETER TCHAIKOVSKY, THE FIRST RUSSIAN COMPOSER TO GAIN

KLEIN). . . . . . . . . . 1:04

SEGMENT #4 - IT'S BEEN 30 YEARS SINCE DADE: In the first few years following
1969’s Stonewall Riots, lesbigay activists lobbied for and secured ordinances
protecting them from discrimination in several municipalities. But on June
7, 1977, voters repealed a similar DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA measure that had
originally been unanimously approved by the local County Commission. It was the
first full-scale battle in the U.S. between the burgeoning religious right and a
politically naive queer community, and the first to get the attention of the
national -- even international -- mainstream media. Former beauty queen
runner-up, pop singer and Florida Orange Juice spokesperson ANITA BRYANT led the
"Save Our Children" repeal effort, warning that homosexuals can't reproduce, so
they have to "recruit" youngsters into their "immoral lifestyle". Many
incredulous gays and lesbians couldn't understand how anyone would believe such
drivel. But they were shocked out of their closets by the over 2-to-1 majority
voting for repeal, taking to the streets to protest many for the ffirst time -
in the days following what came to be called "Orange Tuesday". This Way Out's
LUCIA CHAPPELLE and GREG GORDON, who originally covered the events as they
unfolded for the "IMRU" radio program on KPFK-FM/Los Angeles, use archival sound
to recall the early days of a battle that continues to this day (with musical
excerpts from "My Little Corner of the World" by ANITA BRYANT, "Don't Drink
the Orange Juice" by ROD McKUEN, "Don't Pray For Me" by MARY WATKINS, and TOM
WILSON-WEINBERG's "Save Our Children/Recruiters Fight Song" in its entirety). .
