THIS WAY OUT
the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
Program #992, distributed 04/02/07
(hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
Musical journeys in three countries intersect at the "Audiofile";
A gay Indonesian fights human rights abuses;
Blunder bus for GOP prez hopeful John McCain's "Straight Talk Express";
Healthcare demands mark ACT UP's 20th, Equality Riders are bussed to
jail by Christian colleges they have "trespassed against," Arab
lesbians defy Islamic protesters at a Haifa confab, and more GLBT news
* In "NewsWrap": Hundreds in New York City celebrate the 20th anniversary of
ACT UP – the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power – with 27 arrests at a "die-in"
demanding a single-payer health care system and drug price controls, while a
smaller group avoids arrests at a similar action in San Francisco... the second
year of an "Equality Ride," sponsored by the ecumenical group Soulforce and
carrying young activists on two buses to several conservative Christian
colleges across the U.S. that silence or expel LGBT students, face uglier opposition
and more arrests at several campuses... two prominent U.S. seminaries for
Conservative Judaism announce their acceptance of openly-queer students for
ordination... Arab lesbians defy Islamic taboos with a rare conference in the
northern Israeli city of Haifa... and more GLBT news from around the world (written
by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by DON LUPO and RICK WATTS).
* ARIZONA SENATOR JOHN McCAIN punctured a political tire on the second day of
his Republican presidential campaign bus tour in mid-March. According to a
"New York Times" report by Adam Nagourney, the flat on McCain's "Straight Talk
Express" occurred when an unnamed reporter asked the candidate's position on
the distribution of taxpayer-subsidized condoms to fight the spread of AIDS in
Africa. In a shaky response punctuated by long pauses and nervous laughter,
McCain deferred to the "wisdom" of conservative Republican Senator (and Dr.)
Tom Coburn, as he desperately sought assistance from his press secretary and
senior advisor. With our RICK WATTS as "The Reporter" and DON LUPO as "Senator
McCain" reading from a transcript of the exchange, This Way Out's LUCIA
CHAPPELLE has the bumpy details.
* A brave gay man is standing pretty much alone in INDONESIA. Growing
conservative pressure in his country has made the northern province of ACEH where he
lives the first in the mostly moderate Islamic country to enforce Sharia, or
religious law. Women's and other human rights groups were already raising the
alarm about the interpretation of "moral crimes" when the police burst
through the door of this now gay "activist" man. From Radio 68H in JAKARTA, REBECCA
HENSCHKE filed this report for FREE SPEECH RADIO NEWS [www.fsrn.org].
* Artists representing three countries and diverse musical styles each bring
their powerful personal experiences to this edition of the "AUDIOFILE"
(excerpts from "Inside Out" and "I Will Follow" from Toronto-based MICAH BARNES'
self-titled CD; "Shades of Grey" and "Nature of the Drug" from Londoner DREW
PILGRAM's "MAGNETIC SIDEWAYS PULL"; and "Free Man" and "Echo" from Nashville-based
FREDDY FREEMAN's "BREAK THE SILENCE" -- with comments by each artist, hosted
by CHRIS WILSON & JD DOYLE, and written & produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID
TRENTHAM) [www.audiofile.org].
