Program #1,063 distributed 08/11/08

The "Scissors" author dines with dad in "A Wolf at the Table";

The International AIDS Conference denounces gay sex bans, Anglicanism's once-a-decade meeting ends unresolved, Amsterdam, Brighton and Belfast celebrate Pride, Northwest Bears can't be "Olympic," and more LGBT news

* In "NewsWrap": HIV prevention among gay and bisexual men, and the failure of many countries to include that high-risk group in prevention programs because of legal/societal bias against them, is a significant focus at the 17th International AIDS Conference in Mexico City, while the Center for Disease Control reports an alarming increase during the past two decades in the rate of HIV infection among U.S. gay and bisexual men... the once-a-decade Lambeth Conference of the 77-million-member global Anglican Communion wraps up in London with no resolution of the contentious debate over the ordination of openly-gay clergy in the U.S. and the blessing by some U.S. and Canadian congregations of same-gender couples... Amsterdam, Brighton, and Belfast celebrate Pride, while the U.S. Olympic Committee orders the Northwest Bears gay men’s social group to remove all "Olympic" references from their annual summer campout, but the Federation of Gay Games salutes 11 openly-lesbigay athletes who are currently competi
ng in Beijing... and other LGBT news from around the world  (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by CHRISTOPHER GAAL and GREG GORDON).

SEGMEBT # 2 -  This "RAINBOW MINUTE" celebrates ground-breaking openly-lesbigay Olympians as "3 SHINING STARS" (produced by JUDD PROCTOR and BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by DUSTIN RICHARDSON).

* "Running With Scissors" author AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS is dining with less-than-dear-old-dad in his latest offering.  "This Way Out" queer lit commentator JANET MASON couldn't wait to hunt down "A WOLF AT THE TABLE".

* The subtle twists and turns of orientation and relationship power the plot of Australian JEFFREY JAY FOWLER's play, "HOPE IS THE SADDEST."  "This Way Out" correspondent JOHN FRAME in Brisbane has a cross-continental chat with Fowler about the ramifications of his themes, and queer life in PERTH (with intro music from "Think About Love" by DOLLY PARTON).
