SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": Up to 500,000 people celebrate Pride in Amsterdam,
about 300 brave a counter-march in Tallinn, and a Warsaw organizer leads the
march before more than 385,000 in Vancouver, but the government continues to
shut down Pride events in Singapore; 18 men face death by stoning following
their sodomy convictions under Islamic law in northern Nigeria, while draconian
legislation outlawing any civil rights for gays and lesbians is reportedly
still being considered by the country's newly-elected legislature; Canada's
Immigration Board orders 21-year-old gay Nicaraguan national Alvaro Orozco deported
even though he faces life-threatening persecution in his homeland; but Keith
Durbin's election to the Nashville City Council makes him the first openly
queer elected official in the U.S. state of Tennessee (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) [9:31] + billboard for U.S.

SEGMENT #4 - It wasn't that many U.S. presidential campaigns ago when any
association between a candidate and the LGBT communities would have been the
kiss of death. But the Human Rights Campaign brought American politics another
step into the 21st Century on August 9th with an LGBT issues forum featuring
all but two of the Democratic contenders for the White House. Senators Joe
Biden and Chris Dodd cited scheduling conflicts. Republican candidates were also
invited, but each either declined or ignored the challenge. The 2-hour event
was co-sponsored and televised live by the LOGO cable television channel.
Bloomberg News commentator MARGARET CARLSON served as moderator, and each
presidential hopeful in turn faced questions from a panel consisting of JONATHAN
CAPEHART of the Washington Post, lesbian rock icon MELISSA ETHERIDGE, and HRC
Executive Director JOE SOLMONESE. On this week’s program and "This Way Out"
programs in the next two weeks, we'll highlight the responses of all six
participants in this historic event, and reactions to them. This week: NEW MEXICO
GOVERNOR BILL RICHARDSON and former U.S. SENATOR from ALASKA MIKE GRAVEL [segment
intro = 1:09; Richardson = 7:39; Gravel = 5:51; segment outro = :19]. . . . . .
