SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": According to Statistics Canada's 2006 Census
report, same-gender couples are marrying in the country at a much higher rate than
their heterosexual counterparts although the numbers may require aan asterisk;
a New York trial court judge rejects a rightwing challenge to the state
Comptroller's decision to extend New York State Retirement System benefits to the
partners of all qualifying workers who legally marry in any jurisdiction
worldwide; Northern Ireland's highest court overturns the anti-harassment
provisions of the recently-enacted Sexual Orientation Regulations, but the European
Court of Human Rights upholds the right of a Lithuanian transgender person to
gender reassignment surgery, and the human rights committee of South America's
Southern Common Market issues a declaration urging an end to all discrimination
against sexual and gender minorities in its member nations; Havana's Roman
Catholic vicar general supports "stable same-sex relationships" that should be
"protected by civil laws"; a new report not surprisingly reveals that LGBT
students are safer in schools that have Gay-Straight Alliances, and students at
a Halifax, Nova Scotia high school respond to the bullying of a
perceived-to-be-gay freshman by getting "pretty in pink" (written by GREG GORDON, with
thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL and REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this
week by TANYA KANE-PARRY and RICK WATTS) [9:44] + Maupin/"Rainbow Minute"
billboard [:09] . . . . . . . . . . . . 10:53
SEGMENT #2 - There's a silence that masks the fact that suicide is one of
the major causes of death for teens and young adults... and an even more eerie
silence surrounds the tragic truth that queer and questioning youth are four
times more likely to take their own lives than their heterosexual counterparts.
It's not their sexual orientation itself -- it's harassment by their peers
and rejection by their families that drive these kids to such desperate means.
One project aimed at addressing this serious problem involves the play "UGLY
DUCKLINGS" by lesbian-feminist performer-director-activist CAROLYN GAGE. A
production of "Ugly Ducklings" is the subject of a documentary by Oscar-nominated
filmmaker Fawn Yacker. That DVD will be distributed throughout the U.S.,
with other educational materials, as part of an anti-harassment campaign. Gage
spoke with DIXIE TREICHEL in Minneapolis on KFAI-FM’s "Fresh Fruit" program
about the project, and the impact the show had when it was first produced in
Maine . . 6:43

SEGMENT #3 - "THE FATE OF WE'WHA" follows up on last week's profile of the
Native American "princess" in another "RAINBOW MINUTE" (produced by JUDD
PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by TALL FEATHERS) .
. . . . . 1:03
SEGMENT #4 "Tales of the City" novelist ARMISTEAD MAUPIN returns to his
roots with his latest book "MICHAEL TOLLIVER LIVES," revisiting the older but
hopefully wiser character affectionately known as "Mouse". Last time on "This
Way Out," our JOSY CATOGGIO began a conversation with one of queerdom’s
favorite writers about his new book, the unique challenges of HIV survivors,
"daddies," and San Fran transfolk. The conversation continues in the second of this
special 3-part feature interview with an exploration of various "family"
dynamics. . . 8:38
