THIS WAY OUT
the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
Program #1,013, distributed 08/27/07
(hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
Dennis Kucinich and Hillary Clinton face the queer presidential forum;
U.S. Congressman Barney Frank is profiled in a "Rainbow Minute";
A gay Canadian MP ties the knot but a civil union announcement irks
Anglicans, an Italian official calls for queer "ethnic cleansing" while
a Florida mayor is flushed with gay sex phobia, Tokyo and Sofia proudly
celebrate and educate, and more global GLBT news
* In "NewsWrap": M.P. Scott Brison becomes the first lesbigay federal
politician to wed his same-gender partner since Canada established marriage equality
in 2005, while openly-gay New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson tells
the BBC that he plans to enter into a civil union with his partner when they
become legal in his state on January 1st, sparking more anti-queer comments from
Nigerian Anglican Archbishop Peter Akinola... two politicians insert feet
into homophobic mouths... Tokyo queer advocates march with Pride, while Bulgarian
activists promote "accurate and fair information" about GLBT people and safe
sex... and more GLBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and
reported this week by JON BEAUPRE and RICK WATTS).
* Openly gay "BARNEY FRANK, QUICK-WITTED CONGRESSMAN" is profiled in a
"RAINBOW MINUTE" (produced by Judd Proctor & Brian Burns at WRIR-FM in Richmond,
Virgina and read by Virginia State Delegate Adam Ebbin).
* LGBT visibility in the U.S. political process was raised to a new level
with the historic presidential candidate forum hosted by the Human Rights
Campaign and televised live by the LOGO cable television channel. The 2-hour event
featured individual appearances by six Democratic contenders for the White
House. In the first two parts of This Way Out's coverage of the forum, we’ve
excerpted the remarks of New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and Senators Mike
Gravel, John Edwards, and Barack Obama. There are two more candidates to be
heard from: he's considered a long shot for his party's nomination, but Ohio
Congressman DENNIS KUCINICH would be a sure bet for LGBT rights. HILLARY CLINTON
is by most accounts at the front of the Democratic pack. They each faced
panelists JONATHAN CAPEHART of the "Washington Post," lesbian rock icon MELISSA
ETHERIDGE, HRC Executive Director JOE SOLMONESE, and moderator MARGARET CARLSON
of Bloomberg News.
