THIS WAY OUT
the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
Program #967 - the week of 10/9/06
(hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
A comic from Down Under laughs her way out of the closet;
The man behind the mysterious "Benjamin Justice" is revealed!
Brazil translates its anti-homophobia campaign for the rest of South
America, the E.U. champions queer youth but Poland quashes them, marriage
equality stumbles on the way to California's top court, the Foley fiasco
forebodes congressional closets, and more global GLBT news
* In "NewsWrap": The "Brazil Without Homophobia" campaign may spread to at
least nine other countries in South America... members of the European
Parliament's Intergroup on Gay and Lesbian Rights launch a campaign to fight
homophobia in schools, but Poland's government rejects the participation of a national
queer advocacy group in a youth-oriented European Commission-sponsored program
to facilitate continental cooperation... a California lawsuit seeking
marriage equality fails on appeal but heads for a state Supreme Court showdown...
there's a media feeding frenzy as more revelations surface about Republican
Congressman Mark Foley's dalliances with male teen pages, as right-wingers gay bash
and queer GOP congressional aides quiver in their closets... Slovenia's first
registered same-gender partners are not celebrating... and more GLBT news
from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by KAREEM
FERGUSON and TANYA KANE-PARRY).
* There is reportedly only one six foot, lesbian, ex-Mormon, diabetic
comedian and author in AUSTRALIA, and her name is SUE-ANN POST. Post launched her
career with the multi-award winning 1991 solo show called "A Bit of a
Postscript," which was also the title of her first book. Her prose and poetry have
appeared in many anthologies, and her long-running column in "The Age," one of the
country's leading newspapers, was nominated for the 2002 Human Rights and
Equal Opportunity Commission Print Media Award. One of Post's most popular
essays is her own coming out story, which was published in the now out-of-print
anthology "Inside Out." She read it especially for the listeners of "Queer
Radio" in Brisbane recently -- and now for the rest of us [recorded by JOHN FRAME]
[www.sue-annpost.com.au].
* "This Way Out" continues LGBT HISTORY MONTH with the enlightening new
series, "THE RAINBOW MINUTE." This time: poet KATHERINE LEE BATES, whose praises
many in "America the Beautiful" may have unknowingly been singing for years
[produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at the studios of WRIR in Richmond,
Virginia, and read by DUSTIN RICHARDSON].
* JOHN MORGAN WILSON is the Edgar- and Lambda Literary Award-winning author
of the "BENJAMIN JUSTICE" mystery series, published by Doubleday/Bantam. It
follows the adventures of the title character, a brilliant but disgraced
newspaper reporter, haunted by his past, who now puts his lost investigative skills
to work solving L.A.’s most complex and puzzling murders. Books in the series
include "Simple Justice" (1996), "Revision of Justice" (1997), "Justice at
Risk" (1999 Lambda Award Winner) and "The Limits of Justice" (2000 Lambda Award
Winner), "Blind Eye" (2003 Lambda Award Winner), "Moth and Flame" (2004), and
"Rhapsody In Blood" (2006). This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE donned his trench coat
and best "noir" voice to track down the gay man of mysteries, and interrogate
him about truth, Justice, and the WeHo way [www.johnmorganwilson.com].
