THIS WAY OUT
the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
Program #1,017, distributed 09/24/07
(hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
New characters and open relationships as Maupin's "Mouse" Lives!;
Notorious preacher-buster Mike Jones takes to the stage;
San Diego's mayor puts parenthood before politics;
A Ugandan tabloid continues its "Homo Terror!" campaign, Maryland's top
court maintains marriage inequality, Dutch kids do fine with lesbian
moms, an "ex-gay" study comes up short of change, and more GLBT news
* In "NewsWrap": A Ugandan tabloid outs more gays in its "Homo Terror!"
campaign... Maryland's high court rejects marriage equality for the U.S. state's
same-gender couples... new research from the Netherlands supports earlier
studies in the U.S. and Canada that children raised by lesbian couples are as
well-adjusted as those raised in heterosexual families... Ecuador's Defense Minister
resigns after taking heat for suggesting that lesbigay military personnel who
come out should be allowed to stay in the country's armed forces... a new
book trumpeted by "ex-gay" Exodus International offers mixed results at best
about so-called faith-based "therapy" to "cure" homosexuality (written by GREG
GORDON, and reported this week by RICK WATTS and TANYA KANE-PARRY).
* JERRY SANDERS, the Republican mayor of SAN DIEGO, this week reversed his
earlier promise to veto a City Council resolution to file a friend-of-the-court
brief -- joining other major California cities -- urging the state Supreme
Court to open marriage to same-gender couples. In an emotional speech during
which he said that his lesbian daughter deserved that right, the mayor of the
country's eighth largest city told reporters that it was the right thing to do
(with excerpts from Sanders' remarks, and a brief report about demonstrations
this week across the state urging Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
to reverse his stated plan to veto marriage equality legislation for the second
time).
* MIKE JONES is the masseur whose revelations about Pastor Ted Haggard
brought down the evangelical clergyman. He was cast in the recent Boulder Fringe
production of Brian Bauman's controversial play, "Porridge," a sexually charged
anti-war cry about three gay Marines. This Way Out's CLAUDIA CRAGG
[KGNU-FM/Boulder, Colorado] chats with Jones about why he decided to take to the
stage, some of his other clients, and his future plans.
* "MICHAEL TOLLIVER LIVES" is the good news in the title of ARMISTEAD
MAUPIN's new book -- 30 years after the first installment of his fabled "Tales of the
City" series. In the first two parts of JOSY CATOGGIO's feature interview
with him, Maupin has talked about how his own real-life relationship with his
younger partner Chris is reflected in the fictional Michael's adventures. In
this week's conclusion, he discusses "open relationships," and two new
characters in his "Tales" pantheon.
