DESMOND TUTU has been a staunch advocate for lesbigay equality for many years, but ironically he'd never spoken directly to a large, predominantly LGBT audience -- until this week. Tutu was in San Francisco to accept an award from the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission for being what that group calls "a moral luminary whose inclusive approach to human rights advocacy paves the way for a better world." At a pre-event press conference, Tutu told reporters why he was going to use his acceptance speech to, in part, apologize on behalf of his Church for its treatment of LGBT people, and why he's been such a vocal ally for LGBT rights around the world [3:26] + Jesse Brune billboard [:04] . . 3:30 SEGMENT #3 - S. BEAR BERGMAN is a Jewish trans writer and actor, a self-described instigator and gender-jammer, and a good example of what happens when you overeducate a contrarian. The award-winning performance artist's most recent production, "MONDAY NIGHT IN WESTERBORK," and book, "BUTCH IS A NOUN," are the subjects of this conversation with This Way Out correspondents DIXIE TREICHEL and JOHN TOWNSEND (from "Fresh Fruit" on KFAI-FM/Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota). . . 5:28 [www.sbearbergman.com] SEGMENT #4 - JESSE BRUNE, co-star of U.S. cable television channel BRAVO's lesbian-led docudrama reality show "WORKOUT," is a professional chef, personal trainer, out gay man, and self proclaimed "happy living expert." As the show launches its third season, This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE chats with Jesse about weight issues, masculinity, celebrity, and the sudden death of fellow gay trainer Doug Blasdell during the show's previous season (with audio clips, and brief intro/outro music from "Let's Get Physical" by OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN) . . . . . . . . . . 7:06 [www.PrideOnScreen.com] Closing Credits/continuity. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:19 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:52 ================================ * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," GAY PERSONAL TRAINER AND CHEF JESSE BRUNE GIVES TV A "WORKOUT"...
