             the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
    (hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
 Why we parade and party with Pride: The Stonewall Rebellion of June 1969;
 Australian feds get "Territorial" over civil unions, a terrified Ugandan
lesbian is denied U.K. asylum, Cameroon convicts seven in a sodomy retrial,
 the ACLU hopes a settlement with Hawai'i will fix the state's anti-queer
     youth lock-up, high-profile bashers are busted in three countries,
   "Milk Carton Mary's" book sales are missing, and more global GLBT news

* In "NewsWrap": The Australian federal government "disallows" the 
marriage-like Civil Unions Act recently enacted by the Australian Capital Territory 
before any same gender couples can race down the aisle... a Ugandan lesbian 
assaulted in her home country and seeking asylum in the U.K. is deported because, 
says the immigration judge, "lesbians are not homosexuals"... seven of nine men 
netted in a May 2005 raid on a gay-friendly nightclub in Cameroon's capital 
city of Yaounde are convicted of sodomy after being retried following their 
original acquittal... Hawai'i will be paying $625,000 to settle an ACLU lawsuit as 
a court orders the state to fix a homophobic "state of chaos" in its Youth 
Correctional Facility... two men in England are sentenced to life in prison for 
the horrific bashing murder of popular gay bar manager Jody Dobrowski, four 
young men in New York City face 25 years in prison for their brutal attack on 
chart-topping gay singer Kevin Aviance, and a fourth suspect is behind bars for 
the vicious assault against 2 CBS broadcast journalists vacationing on the 
Caribbean island of St. Maarten... U.S. Vice Presidential daughter and Bush 
apologist Mary Cheney's "Now It's My Turn" is bombing at the bookstores... and more 
GLBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON and reported this 
week by CHRISTOPHER GAAL and GREG GORDON).

* Between two-and-a-half and three million people clogged downtown Sao Paulo, 
Brazil on June 17th for what was probably the largest LGBT Pride parade on 
the planet.  It's that time of year, of course.  But such "public displays" were 
unthinkable before the last weekend of June in 1969.  All that changed thanks 
to the queer patrons of the STONEWALL INN on CHRISTOPHER STREET in New York 
City's Greenwich Village.  Sadly, accounts of the pivotal event in the 
contemporary queer movement for equality won't be found in most history textbooks, and 
too many LGBT people -- especially the up-and-coming-out younger generation 
–- know little about what the annual celebrations commemorate.  "This Way 
Out's" GREG GORDON and LUCIA CHAPPELLE address that problem with this audio montage 
about the GENESIS OF PRIDE.  Included: excerpts from "Pride," written and 
performed by JON GILBERT LEAVITT; DEBBIE LEMPKE's "Gay and Proud" performed by 
the BERKELEY WOMEN'S MUSIC COLLECTIVE, and lesbian-feminist icon JUDY GRAHN 
reading from her "A History of Lesbianism" (both from the historic 1977 Olivia 
Records compilation "Lesbian Concentrate"); excerpts from a January 1969 gay 
radio program (six months before the Stonewall Rebellion) on Pacifica Radio's WBAI 
in New York City, during which BAIRD SEARLES and KERMIT LAMB lament the lack 
of pride and courage in "the homosexual community"; excerpts from a 1970 audio 
documentary about the Stonewall Rebellion narrated by BRETT ARTERY and 
featuring an eyewitness account by pioneering activist CRAIG RODWELL; an edited 
version of "Long Hot Summer", a raucous ode to the Stonewall Rebellion by 
legendary British rockers THE TOM ROBINSON BAND (from their groundbreaking album 
"Power In The Darkness"); reporter GABRIELLE ANTOLOVICH's vox pop from an annual 
Pride parade on the streets of West Hollywood, California; and "Gay History 
Rap", a live-in-concert rappin' retelling of the Stonewall tale by AGE OF CONSENT.
