                            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)
