The new "you'll laugh, you'll cry" book touches on love and hate crimes, coming out and building community, courage, faith, and families. It's about transgender and cross gender, dating, living with HIV -- and most of all about accepting oneself. Rainbow Legends co-founder JOYCE CASCIO chats with This Way Out correspondent DIXIE TREICHEL [from “Fresh Fruit“ on KFAI-FM/Minneapolis-St. Paul] about the anthology and the company's future plans (with intro/outro music from "Not Enough" performed by GWENDY JOYSEN). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:25 [www.rainbowlegends.com, www.gwendyjoysen.com] SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" "Happy Holidays" message [voiced by CHRISTOPHER GAAL] . . . . . . . . . . . . . :40 SEGMENT #4 - Born and raised in the small town of Paris, Texas, ASH CHRISTIAN began his journey as an entertainer in local community theater. At the age of seventeen the gay actor left high school and moved, alone, to Los Angeles, where he quickly began turning up on shows such as ABC's "Ugly Betty", FOX's "Standoff", HBO’s “Six Feet Under”, CBS’s “Cold Case”, WB’s “Jack and Bobby”, Lifetime’s “The Division” and FOX’s “Boston Public”. In 2005, at age twenty, Ash directed, produced and starred in the indie feature film “FAT GIRLS” alongside Jonathan Caouette (“Tarnation”) and Robyn DeJesus (“Camp”). A hit at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival and at a number of LGBT film festivals last year, “Fat Girls” is just now being released in theaters by Regent Entertainment. This Way Out’s STEVE PRIDE sat down with the “wunder-gay“ to talk about his amazing journey and his inner “fat girl” (includes music from "Big Girls Don't Cry" performed by THE WEATHER GIRLS). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:40 [www.ashchristian.com, www.fatgirls-themovie.com] Closing Credits/continuity. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:22 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:53 =================================== * ============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," ASH CHRISTIAN'S "PHAT" FILM FEST FAVE "FAT GIRLS" WINS WIDER RELEASE...
