                             THIS WAY OUT
             the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
                Program #1,006, distributed 07/09/07
         (hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
A Dade County shocker, defiant demonstrations, and 3 decades of debate;
  Profiling Russian composer Peter Tchaikovsky in a "Rainbow Minute";
      Thailand's new constitution proposes sexual minority rights,
a Hungarian minister opens the Cabinet door, EuroPride salutes Spain's
  marriage equality, U.S. Lutherans axe an Atlanta partnered pastor,
 activists protest Istanbul gay bar raids, and more global GLBT news

*In "NewsWrap": A committee drafting Thailand's new constitution includes 
rights for "those of other sexual identities"... Gabor Szetey becomes the first 
Hungarian cabinet minister to come out as a gay man... an estimated 
two-and-a-half million people flock to Madrid to celebrate EuroPride '07, while the 
Deputy Defense Minister and several openly gay soldiers marching for the first time 
in uniform are among about 50,000 parading with Pride in the southern Dutch 
city of Bergen op Zoom... the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America removes 
Atlanta, Georgia pastor Bradley Schmeling from the pulpit because he's a 
partnered gay man, while priests of at least two Anglican Church of Canada parishes 
are vowing to defy the denomination's recent ban on blessing same-gender 
couples... Turkish equality activists defiantly condemn the raids on two gay bars in 
Istanbul... and more GLBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, 
and reported this week by RICK WATTS and GREG GORDON).

* "PETER TCHAIKOVSKY, THE FIRST RUSSIAN COMPOSER TO GAIN INTERNATIONAL FAME" 
is profiled in a "RAINBOW MINUTE" (produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at 
the studios of WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by JON KLEIN).

* IT'S BEEN 30 YEARS SINCE DADE: In the first few years following 1969’s 
Stonewall Riots, lesbigay activists lobbied for and secured ordinances protecting 
them from discrimination in several municipalities.  But on June 7, 1977, 
voters repealed a similar DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA measure that had originally been 
unanimously approved by the local County Commission.  It was the first 
full-scale battle in the U.S. between the burgeoning religious right and a politically 
naive queer community, and the first to get the attention of the national -- 
even international -- mainstream media.  Former beauty queen runner-up, pop 
singer and Florida Orange Juice spokesperson ANITA BRYANT led the "Save Our 
Children" repeal effort, warning that homosexuals can't reproduce, so they have to 
"recruit" youngsters into their "immoral lifestyle".  Many incredulous gays 
and lesbians couldn't understand how anyone would believe such drivel.  But they 
were shocked out of their closets by the over 2-to-1 majority voting for 
repeal, taking to the streets to protest – many for the first time - in the days 
following what came to be called "Orange Tuesday".  This Way Out's LUCIA 
CHAPPELLE and GREG GORDON, who originally covered the events as they unfolded for 
the "IMRU" radio program on KPFK-FM/Los Angeles, use archival sound to recall 
the early days of a battle that continues to this day (with musical excerpts 
from "My Little Corner of the World" by ANITA BRYANT, "Don't Drink the Orange 
Juice" by ROD McKUEN, "Don't Pray For Me" by MARY WATKINS, and TOM 
WILSON-WEINBERG's "Save Our Children/Recruiters Fight Song" in its entirety).
