                            THIS WAY OUT
                 the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
                      Program #964 - the week of 9/18/06
           (hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
     "Dancer from the Dance" author Andrew Holleran steps into "Grief";
  There's a promising forecast for civil unions in Uruguay, South African
   activists look askance at proposed partnerships, Australia's tax bias
  penalizes splitting same-gender couples, lesbians are the latest outed
in a Ugandan tabloid's crusade, arbitrary arrests alarm Nepal campaigners,
        Martina bows out with a final Slam, and more global GLBT news

* In "NewsWrap": Uruguay is on the verge of becoming the first country in 
South America to legally recognize same gender couples, but marriage equality in 
South Africa is now in doubt, and Australia's queer couples are denied tax 
relief... there are more destructive tabloid "outings" in Uganda, while Nepal's 
queers denounce escalating arrests of "metis" and demand rights from the new 
government they helped put in power... the U.S. National Latino Congreso 
resolves to support LGBT equality... tennis legend Martina Navratilova ends her pro 
career in style... and more GLBT news from around the world (written by GREG 
GORDON and reported this week by TANYA KANE-PARRY and KAREEM FERGUSON).

* It's been almost thirty years since ANDREW HOLLERAN's groundbreaking novel 
"Dancer from the Dance," described as one of gay literature's most important 
works.  Holleran is a journalist, teacher and the author of several other 
notable novels, but he hasn't published a new one in almost a decade.  That drought 
has ended with the semi-autobiographical "GRIEF," about a lonely and jaded 
middle-aged gay professor trying to cope with many losses.  Holleran recently 
sat down with This Way Out's BRYAN GOEBEL in San Francisco to read an excerpt, 
and to explain how the letters and journals of Mary Todd Lincoln and what he 
describes as the sepulchral city of Washington D.C. lead his protagonist to 
"new, poignant truths."
