                            THIS WAY OUT
                 the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
                      Program #969 - the week of 10/23/06
          (hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
       Another movie offers a different take on the "Infamous" Capote;
    Lesbian literary "bad girl" Jeanette Winterson shoulders the "Weight";
   U.S. Catholic Bishops announce "new" policy for an old prejudice, a gay
   congressional husband is DOMA'd out of his spousal pension, British and
  Irish lesbian couples fight marriage inequity, Hong Kong concedes consent
 age parity, queer Iranians get asylum in Holland, and more global GLBT news

* In "NewsWrap": A "disordered" document will soon be considered by the U.S. 
Conference of Catholic Bishops to "minister to homosexuals," while reporters 
talk with the Roman Catholic priest named by disgraced Congressman Mark Foley 
as having sexually abused him as a teen... the so-called federal "Defense of 
Marriage Act" denies late Congressman Gerry Studds' spousal pension to his 
Massachusetts-married husband Dean Hara... money forces a British lesbian couple 
legally wed in Canada to give up the legal battle to have their marriage 
recognized in the U.K., while another Canadian-wed lesbian couple awaits a ruling on 
their lawsuit demanding recognition of that marriage in Ireland... the 
European Commission funds a 2-year project to assist families of gay and lesbian 
youth raise healthy children... Hong Kong's government decides not to appeal a 
High Court ruling equalizing the age of consent for lesbigay sex... Dutch 
Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk reverses course and decides to grant full residence 
status to asylum-seeking LGBT Iranians;  the office of Turkey's Public 
Prosecutor dismisses the governor of Bursa's attempt to shut down the province's 
transgender and gay rights group Rainbow Association... and other GLBT news from 
around the world (written by GREG GORDON and reported this week by JON BEAUPRE 
and TANYA KANE-PARRY).

* This Way Out correspondent JANET MASON gets passionate about the notorious 
JEANETTE WINTERSON's latest, "WEIGHT: THE MYTH OF ATLAS & HERACLES" 
(Canongate) [www.amusejanetmason.com].

* "This Way Out" continues October's LGBT HISTORY MONTH with the enlightening 
series, "THE RAINBOW MINUTE."  Next up: "DR. LOUISE PEARCE, Renowned Woman 
Scientist of Her Time" [produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at the studios of 
WRIR in Richmond, Virginia, and read by MARY GAY HUTCHERSON].

* TRUMAN CAPOTE was the author of the acclaimed first novel "Other Voices, 
Other Rooms" and the novella "Breakfast at Tiffany's."  But by any measure 
Capote's 1966 nonfiction novel "In Cold Blood," a chilling account of the 
senseless, brutal murder of a Kansas family, was his finest work.  Last year critics 
and Academy voters alike went wild for "Capote," a film about the six-month 
period Truman Capote spent writing his groundbreaking book.  Now another film, 
"INFAMOUS," shot at roughly the same time, covering roughly the same period, is 
arriving on movie screens and receiving much the same praise.  What was it 
about this diminutive gay man that made him big enough for two movies?  This Way 
Out's STEVE PRIDE searches for "the truth about Tru" with "Infamous" with 
writer/director DOUGLAS McGRATH and stars TOBY JONES and SANDRA BULLOCK (includes 
clips from the film, and music from the soundtrack performed by GWYNETH PALTROW 
and DANIEL CRAIG) [www.infamousmovie.com, www.prideonscreen.com].
