              the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
                   Program #1,033, distributed 01/14/08
   (hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
    Award-winning gay playwright Adam Bock blends justice and theatre;
 Famed 20th century writer May Sarton is saluted in a "Rainbow Minute";
   The protesting Moscow 13 are acquitted, terrorist threats put Paris'
 openly gay mayor on guard, Canadian bodies reject gay blood and organ
donors, New Jersey expands hate crime protections and strengthens anti-
             school bullying laws, and more global LGBT news

* In "NewsWrap": In a first-ever legal victory for Moscow gay activists, 13 
of them arrested for an election day protest of homophobic Mayor Yuri Luzhkov 
are acquitted by a local court... openly gay Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe gets 
increased police protection after being targeted on a Web site used by Al 
Qaeda members... sexually active gay men in Canada can no longer donate their 
organs to the country's transplant programs, while the Canadian Federation of 
Students steps up its organizing efforts against the nation's ban on gay men 
donating blood... New Jersey lawmakers pass legislation adding "gender identity or 
expression" to the state's hate crime laws and strengthening school 
anti-bullying programs... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG 
GORDON and reported this week by CHRISTOPHER GAAL and RICK WATTS).

* "MAY SARTON, PROLIFIC 20TH CENTURY WRITER" is profiled in a "RAINBOW 
MINUTE" (produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and 
read by CANDACE GINGRICH).

* Canadian-born ADAM BOCK is an openly gay Obie-award-winning playwright 
who's clearly benefited from an activist upbringing.   He writes dialogue that 
sounds like real people -- like the out-of-the-mainstream characters he enjoys 
putting on stage.   He says he's not grinding an obvious axe -- he prefers to 
challenge audiences to think for themselves.   His latest play, "The Shaker 
Chair," running through January 27th at the San Francisco Bay area's Encore 
Theatre Company, explores themes of personal change and environmental justice.   
"This Way Out" correspondent BRYAN GOEBEL sits down with Adam Bock for a 
wide-ranging and entertaining conversation about his ACT UP activism and the women who 
inspired it, his process as a writer, and his identity as a gay playwright 
(concludes next week).
