                              THIS WAY OUT
              the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
                   Program #1,038, distributed 02/18/08
   (hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
Following footprints of Warhol's filmmaker-lover's "Walk into the Sea";
             There's Pride from the Village to the villages;
Egyptian arrests alarm human rights groups, Dakar homophobes riot after
    cops release "wedding guests," Bahrain's parliament ponders a gay
 purge, three LGBT groups fail the UN's NGO test, Palestinian "Rainbow"
      warriors declare their independence, and more global LGBT news

* In "NewsWrap": International human rights groups condemn a crackdown on gay 
men in Egypt, an anti-queer mob protests the release in Senegal of several 
men arrested for appearing in photos of a "gay wedding," lawmakers in Bahrain 
consider purging their country of gay men and barring them from entering the 
country, and LGBT groups from Spain, the Netherlands and Brazil are denied 
consultative status at the United Nations... Israel opens adoptions to same-gender 
couples, while a first-ever Palestinian LGBT group forms in Jerusalem... a 
lesbian couple in the Australian state of Queensland gets a marriage license, but 
another faces trespassing charges in the U.S. state of Colorado for trying to 
do the same... and other LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG 
GORDON, and reported this week by JON BEAUPRE and RICK WATTS).

* Queer Pride began as a revolutionary act and became a year-round, worldwide 
celebration.   But as our commentator JANET MASON observes in "PRIDE IN THE 
VILLAGE," it's also a social process that takes many forms in the march toward 
liberation.

* In the words of Minneapolis filmmaker ESTHER B. ROBINSON, "Every family 
history has its missing."   For Robinson's family, the "missing" is her uncle 
DANNY WILLIAMS.   He made more than 20 movies as part of Andy Warhol's Factory, 
designed light shows for the Velvet Underground, and became the pop culture 
icon's live-in lover.   But in 1966 he took a drive to the beach from his 
family's Massachusetts home and was never seen again.   Robinson's documentary "A 
WALK INTO THE SEA: DANNY WILLIAMS AND THE WARHOL FACTORY" explores her uncle’s 
career and his relationship with Warhol, and while her film doesn't solve the 
mystery of Williams' disappearance, it has won her a stack of awards.   She 
talks about the experience with "This Way Out" correspondents DIXIE TREICHEL and 
JOHN TOWNSEND [from "Fresh Fruit" on KFAI-FM in Minneapolis/St. Paul, 
Minnesota].
