Bush [with an excerpt from his remarks during Senate floor debate by TED KENNEDY of MASSACHUSETTS]; Portugal's new penal code equalizes the penalties for crimes committed by opposite- and same-gender couples against one another, and criminalizes the promotion of violence or discrimination based on sexual orientation, but some members of Rwanda's parliament are calling for the criminalization of homosexuality there; and the infamous airport bathroom stall where Idaho Senator Larry Craig was busted is getting a "makeover" (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL and REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by TANYA KANE-PARRY and SHERI LUNN) [10:45] + "Rainbow Minute"/Ahmadinejad billboard [:11]. . . . 10:56 SEGMENT #2 - ALVARO OROZCO, a NICARAGUAN man currently living in TORONTO, faces deportation from Canada because the country's Immigration and Refugee Board didn't believe he's gay. Orozco, who's now 22, ran away from home when he was 12 after being beaten by his father for exhibiting apparently gay characteristics, hitchhiked across Central America and Mexico, and then swam across the Rio Grande into the United States, where he was arrested and put into a detention center. He managed to sneak into Canada in 2005. Orozco's story has been widely reported in Nicaragua, where gay sex is illegal, so - coupled with his family's attitude - his fears of violence against him if he's forced to return to his native country seem to be more than compelling. "This Way Out" correspondent HEATHER KITCHING [of CITR-FM/Vancouver's "Queer FM"] spoke earlier this year on our program with Orozco's lawyer, EL-FAROUK KHAKI, following the Immigration Board's denial of asylum. The next step for Orozco was what is called a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment hearing in mid-September to determine if he would, in fact, be in danger if he's deported. Kitching spoke with Khaki again for this update . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6:13 SEGMENT #3 - TWO Special CDs/subscriptions promo (with music by SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:09 SEGMENT #4 - "SIR FRANCIS BACON GIVES BIRTH TO SCIENCE" in another queer history "RAINBOW MINUTE" (produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at the studios of WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia, and read by ED CHAPMAN). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:04 SEGMENT #5 - The queer activists among the hundreds who gathered to protest IRANIAN PRESIDENT MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD's September 24th Columbia University appearance could never have guessed that their concerns would end up headlining the event. Antagonisms around Ahmadinejad's visit to New York City to address the Sixtieth Session of the United Nations General Assembly had been growing for weeks. Most of the demonstrators at Columbia came to denounce his denial of the Holocaust and his anti-Israel rhetoric. Others challenged the Iranian government's human rights record. But none of those matters got such a dramatic reaction during the question and answer period from the largely hostile audience as did Ahmadinejad's response to a query involving the status of women and LGBT people. With a substantial excerpt from Ahmadinejad's remarks on those subjects, This Way Out's LUCIA CHAPPELLE reports . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6:59 Closing Credits/continuity. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:28 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:01 =================================== * ============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," HIS "NO GAYS" GAFFE ROASTS IRAN'S PRESIDENT - HEAR A SUBSTANTIAL EXCERPT FROM HIS REMARKS AND REACTIONS TO IT...
