THIS WAY OUT
the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
Program #1,010, distributed 08/06/07
(hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
Basketball's "Man in the Middle" John Amaechi now jumps for justice;
"Sheryl Swoopes Scores Again" in a "Rainbow Minute";
Michael Feinstein asks in song "Who Are These Strangers?";
Censorship in Singapore and dynamite in La Paz plague Pride
celebrations, China's first gay center opens in Hong Kong, Roman
protesters pucker up for busted Colosseum kissers, and more GLBT news
*In "NewsWrap": Censorship plagues Pride in Singapore, and a parade float is
dynamited in La Paz, but Montreal celebrants exceed expectations... China's
first gay center opens in Hong Kong... Aussie activists are charging the
Howard Government with violating the country's immigration laws and breaching the
UN Covenant on the Rights of the Child with proposed legislation to deny a visa
to any overseas child adopted by a same-gender couple... queer advocates in
Rome embrace a "Gay Street" kiss-in... and more GLBT news from around the world
(written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by JON BEAUPRE and RICK
WATTS).
* "SHERYL SWOOPES SCORES AGAIN" in this "RAINBOW MINUTE" (produced by JUDD
PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by CHRIS DALBOM).
* At 6-foot-11-inches, JOHN AMAECHI never had a problem standing out, but
coming out was a bit more challenging. Born in the U.S. and raised in Britain,
the now-retired National Basketball Association center made headlines earlier
this year as the first male pro basketball player to tell the world about his
homosexuality in his best-selling autobiography "MAN IN THE MIDDLE". In the
first of a two-part conversation with "This Way Out" correspondent RALPH
RADEBAUGH, Amaechi talked about his early years, his "surprising" start in
basketball, and his mother's powerful example of succeeding despite adversity. He picks
up the story in this conclusion with his collegiate and pro successes under
the net, and his current social change agenda [www.johnamaechi.com].
* Broadway balladeer MICHAEL FEINSTEIN performs Ervin Drake's "WHO ARE THESE
STRANGERS?" Drake says it's his most important song – and he's written an
impressive list of award-winning standards that include "It Was A Very Good
Year," "Good Morning Heartache," and "I Believe (For Every Drop Of Rain)".
