SEGMENT #1 -  "NewsWrap": The 24th World Conference of the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) scheduled for Quebec City in May is called off due to organizational and funding concerns;  the mayors of Riga, Latvia and Tallinn, Estonia refuse to join 19 others in Europe to support a campaign for LGBT freedoms, but Paris' openly gay Socialist Mayor Bertrand Delanoe wins easy reelection, and is being touted as a 2012 presidential candidate;  anti-queer Polish President Lech Kaczynski uses a photo of a gay New York couple's Canadian wedding in a nationally-televised speech opposing the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights;  hundreds gather outside the state capitol to protest the horrendously homophobic comments of Oklahoma Republican state legislator Sally Kern, while Vice President of Policy Peter Sprigg of the infamously anti-queer Family Research Council suggests that LGBT people should be exiled from the United States [hear his offensive comments];  an asylum-seeking gay Syrian teenager in Scotland and a similar gay Cameroonian teenager in Switzerland each fight deportation to their homophobic home countries;  but a gay Tel Aviv couple becomes Israel's first to win a lawsuit seeking joint adoption rights  (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by RICK WATTS and SHERI LUNN) [10:31]  +  "Shelter" billboard [:06] . . . . . . . . . . . . .  10:37

SEGMENT #2 –  OLIVIA RECORDS was the audacious little Californnia collective that brought some of the first great lesbian feminist music to the world.  "This Way Out" correspondent ELAINE MEIZLISH ["The 10th Voice"/KKFI-Kansas City, Missouri] gets Olivia pioneer and President JUDY DLUGACZ talking about the company's pivotal place in the evolution of women's music in this first of a multi-part series (with intro music from TERESA TRULL's "Woman-Loving Women," outro music from CRIS WILLIAMSON's "If It Weren't for the Music," and thanks to JD DOYLE, MARK MANNING, and JAMIE RICH for production assistance) [7:28]  +  "Support public radio" "TWO" I.D. by iconic lesbian singer/songwriter JANIS IAN [:10] . . . .   7:38

SEGMENT #3 -  The first project showcased under the U.S. here! cable network's indie film initiative, "SHELTER," centers on Zach (TREVOR WRIGHT), a young man in San Pedro, California who gives up on his dream of art school in order to provide for his family.  But when his best friend's brother Shaun (BRAD ROWE) returns to town, their casual surfing relationship turns into much more, setting off a chain of events forcing Zach to choose between continuing to put others first or fighting for what he wants for himself.  After winning awards at LGBT film festivals across North America, the "gay surfer" movie has finally caught a slow wave into U.S. theatrical release and will soon be available on DVD.  With preview clips, "This Way Out’s" STEVE PRIDE talks with the film’s neophyte writer/director JONAH MARKOWITZ about hanging tough and hanging ten  (with intro/outro music from the soundtrack, "Lie to Me," performed by SHANE MACK) . . . . . . .   7:47
