                           The week of 04/03/06 on
                          T H I S    W A Y    O U T
             the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
   (hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
Gridiron gay lineman Esera Tuaolo discusses being "Alone in the Trenches";
 The dramatic life of gay humanitarian Irish patriot Sir Roger Casement;
A civil unions showdown pits the A.C.T. against Australian feds, a pro-gay
 estate settlement boosts South African marriage equality, Massachusetts'
top court rules out queer marriage migrants, but a Maryland court supports
    a young teen's bond with his second dad, and more global GLBT news

* In "NewsWrap": A battle brews between the government of the Australian 
Capital Territory, which introduced civil unions legislation this week, and P.M. 
John Howard's federal government, which can and says it will overrule the 
measure... a landmark Pretoria High Court ruling makes a South African gay man the 
sole heir to his late partner's estate... the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial 
Court upholds an antiquated law which bans an out-of-state couple from marrying 
there if the marriage would not be legally recognized in the couple's home 
state... a Maryland trial court overturns a Virginia child custody ruling that 
had prevented a young boy from living under the same roof with his gay dad and 
his dad's male partner... it's revealed that Canadian Christian peace activist 
James Loney, rescued last week from 4 months of captivity as a hostage in 
Iraq, is a gay man... a kennel owner in Sweden is fined for refusing to sell a 
puppy to a lesbian... and other GLBT news from around the world  (written this 
week by GREG GORDON, and reported by CHARLS HALL and GREG GORDON).

* The gasps of surprise could be heard all over the sports world when pro 
football player ESERA TUAOLO added his name to the very short list of 
professional male athletes who have publicly come out.  Tuaolo is telling his own story 
in the recently released "ALONE IN THE TRENCHES: MY LIFE AS A GAY MAN IN THE 
NFL."  He chatted with This Way Out correspondent ABIGAIL GARNER 
[www.AbigailGarner.net] about the pressures of secrecy and his relief at coming out 
[www.EseraTuaolo.com] (with thanks to ANN McNALLY for production assistance).

* Humanitarian and infamous Irish patriot SIR ROGER CASEMENT was such a 
controversial figure in his country's history that the arguments about his sexual 
orientation raged for almost 90 years after his death in 1916 -- but we don't 
want to get ahead of the story!  Casement's fascinating life has been 
dramatized by writer/producer HUGH YOUNG in "THE BROKEN HEART OF IRELAND," narrated by 
BARRY EMPSON.  Their four-part biography begins this week with an exploration 
of Casement's roots and his introduction to the African continent, with which 
he would forever be linked.
