                              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.
