                Program #1,002, distributed 06/11/07
         (hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
            Valuable lessons from White House reminiscences;
            Hullaballoo-ing lesbians seek to save the world;
Pride parades in Tel Aviv and Riga, there's a "Queerfest" in New Dehli,
police-bashed gay Iranian birthday party victims get sprung, "gays are
  immoral" US Joint Chiefs Chair Peter Pace won't reenlist but Bush's
 Surgeon General nominee supports "ex gay" therapy, and more GLBT news

* In "NewsWrap": Thousands of Tel Aviv queers and their supporters parade 
with Pride just days after Israel's Knesset votes initial approval of a bill 
allowing Jerusalem officials to ban a Pride march there... a police-protected 
Pride gathering with several European dignitaries on hand is finally successful in 
the Latvian capital of Riga...  Hundreds of LGBT people in New Dehli spend a 
ten-day "Queerfest" celebrating their sexuality and protesting India's 
same-gender sex-banning Penal Code Section 377... Amnesty International reports that 
all but possibly one man jailed after a violent police raid on a gay birthday 
party in Iran have been released, but 17 faces serious charges in court... 
U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine General Peter Pace, who called homosexual acts 
"immoral" during a newspaper interview in March, is forced into retirement, 
but queer activists express alarm at the President's nomination of Dr. James 
Holsinger, Jr., a minister known for running a so-called "ex-gay" church, to be 
the next U.S. Surgeon General, "the nation's top doctor"... and more GLBT news 
from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by RICK 
WATTS and GREG GORDON).

* Renowned lesbian-feminist rabble-rouser SONIA JOHNSON is drumming up a wild 
gathering for wild women.  "This Way Out" correspondent JOSY CATOGGIO chatted 
with the housewife turned heretic about a revolutionary revival taking place 
later this month in Santa Fe, New Mexico (with music from "Ye Ye" by AFIA 
WALKING TREE).

* The U.S. National Gay and Lesbian Task Force commemorated the thirtieth 
anniversary of the first White House meeting with LGBT activists by hosting a 
telephonic panel with some of the participants.  Last time, the panelists told 
NGLTF Executive Director MATT FOREMAN how the meeting came to be, and summarized 
the concerns they presented.  The discussion concludes this week with 
analysis of what was accomplished and a look to the future (with comments by former 
Carter White House advisor MIDGE COSTANZA and her then-assistant MARILYN HAFT, 
former U.S. Congressperson ELAINE NOBLE, the REV. TROY PERRY, and activists 
FRANK KAMENY, GEORGE REYA, CHARLOTTE BUNCH, and POKEY ANDERSON (edited by LUCIA 
CHAPPELLE, and with music from "Walk Right In" performed by GUS CANNON'S JUG 
STOMPERS).
