THIS WAY OUT
the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
Program #976 - the week of 12/11/06
(hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
Steve Pride unlocks Florida's "Key" to inclusivity;
Ron Romanovsky sings of "Hard Times for Closet Cases";
Canada's Commons repels a final attempt at marriage equality repeal,
U.K. partnerships proliferate while Italy moves toward similar
"civil-ization," South Australia's queer couples can domestically
partner, there's no "garden" path for New Jersey marriage, more news
* In "NewsWrap" - Canada's queer couples can finally rest easier as the House
of Commons decisively rejects a motion by the minority Conservative
government of P.M. Stephen Harper to revisit the contentious marriage equality issue...
gay & lesbian couples are taking their vows in unprecedented numbers in
Canada and the UK... Italy's Senate passes a motion urging PM Romano Prodi's
leftist coalition government to offer civil unions legislation by the end of January
in the same week that Padua becomes the first Italian municipality to create
a domestic partner registry for same-gender couples... South Australia's
lesbigay couples get many of the same rights as heterosexually married couples with
the passage of a state Domestic Partnership bill, while a "putrid" civil
unions bill eschewing the word "marriage" appears to be steam rolling through the
New Jersey legislature... word that Mary (daughter of U.S. Vice President
Dick) Cheney is pregnant infuriates rightwing anti-queer groups... and more GLBT
news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON and reported this week by
RICK WATTS and CHARL HALL).
* A brief reflection on who might be the 2006 Queer Person of the Year segues
into "Hard Times for Closet Cases," a global radio exclusive written and
performed especially for "This Way Out" by RON ROMANOVSKY
[www.romanovskyandphillips.com].
* "The Rainbow Minute" profiles "BAYARD RUSTIN - African-American Civil
Rights Activist" (produced by JUDD PROTCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at WRIR in Richmond,
Virginia and read by VIOLA BASKERVILLE).
* This Way Out entertainment reporter STEVE PRIDE recently visited "The Conch
Republic" (a.k.a. KEY WEST, FLORIDA) and learned that he can't take a voice
recorder on vacation without using it. Steve shares his Key West adventure
through the words of the people he met there, including (in the first of his
2-part story) CAROL SHAUGHNESSY, an expert on the history of the Florida Keys;
TOM OOSTERHOUDT, editor of "Key West - The Newspaper," owner of the Pelican Poop
Shoppe, a former Key West City Councilman, founder of the Key West Symphony,
and owner of Casa Antigua, where Hemingway wrote "A Farewell to Arms"; NEIL
CHAMBERLAIN, owner of PistolAndEnema.com, a popular Key West travel/gossip Web
site; HEATHER CARRUTHERS, co-owner of Pearl's Rainbow, the only lesbian guest
house in Key West; GARY WALKER, manager of The Equator Guest House;
"PHILIPPE," manager of Alexander's Guest House; JERRY TINLIN, Manager of Oasis Guest
House; and lesbian realtor MARTHA ROBINSON (with music from
"Margaritaville" performed by the CARNIVAL STEEL DRUM BAND and JIMMY BUFFET)
