                 the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
                      Program #968 - the week of 10/16/06
         (hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
      A ride on John Cameron Mitchell's "Shortbus" to carnal knowledge;
           Poet C.A. Conrad gives birth to a new queer aesthetic;
 South Africa's ruling party backs contentious civil unions, lesbians' right
to mother is gestating in Denmark and Finland, Sweden condemns a gay Iranian
   asylum seeker to the closet, regional autonomy revives Indonesian LGBT
 oppression, a lesbigay movement is conceived in Mozambique, and more news

* In "NewsWrap": A vote in favor of civil union legislation for South African 
same gender couples by the ruling African National Congress this week all but 
assures parliamentary passage... lesbian couples and single women will be 
able to access publicly-funded fertility treatment in Denmark starting January 
1st, and will likely gain similar access soon in Finland... Sweden faces heat 
for the pending deportation of an Iranian gay man whom some fear will be 
executed in the Islamic nation... semi-autonomous power granted by Indonesia's 
government to regional authorities increases Sharia persecution of LGBT people in 
that Muslim nation... a first-ever LGBT rights organization may be forming in 
Mozambique... and more GLBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON 
and reported this week by SHERI LUNN and DON LUPO) + Gerry Studds obit (written 
by LUCIA CHAPPELLE and reported by GREG GORDON).

* This Way Out correspondent JANET MASON guides us out of an often 
all-too-prosaic world into more lyrical climes with this reflection on C.A. CONRAD's 
"DEVIANT PROPULSION" (from Soft Skull Press) [www.amusejanetmason.com].

* LGBT HISTORY MONTH continues with the enlightening new series, "THE RAINBOW 
MINUTE."  Next up: GILBERT BAKER, the queer incarnation of U.S. flag maker 
Betsy Ross [produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at the studios of WRIR in 
Richmond, Virginia, and read by DUSTIN RICHARDSON].

* A troubled gay male couple, a bored bisexual dominatrix, a sexually 
frustrated sex therapist -- they're just some of the characters who populate the 
controversial new movie "SHORTBUS."  Their various journeys intersect at an 
exclusive New York private club, where they navigate the complicated back roads of 
love and lust.  This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE hitched a ride on the "Shortbus" 
with writer/director JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL to talk about cinematic sex and "all 
the colors in the paint box" [www.shortbusthemovie.com, www.prideonscreen.com].
