                              THIS WAY OUT
              the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
                   Program #1,043, distributed 03/24/08
   (hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
   Breaking the sound barrier and making herstory with Olivia Records;
     Surf's up and on screen for gay romance, family, and "Shelter";
ILGA's queer World Conference collapses in Quebec, U.S. gay activists'
   wedding pix are usurped by Poland's top homophobe, gay Syrian and
 Cameroonian teens join asylum-seekers lists, Tel Aviv's family court
           approves a boy's two dads, and more global GLBT news

*In "NewsWrap": The 24th World Conference of the International Lesbian and 
Gay Association (ILGA) scheduled for Quebec City in May is called off due to 
organizational and funding concerns... the mayors of Riga, Latvia and Tallinn, 
Estonia refuse to join 19 others in Europe to support a campaign for LGBT 
freedoms, but Paris' openly gay Socialist Mayor Bertrand Delanoe wins easy 
reelection...   anti-queer Polish President Lech Kaczynski uses a photo of a gay New 
York couple's Canadian wedding in a nationally-televised speech opposing the 
EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights... an asylum-seeking gay Syrian teenager in 
Scotland and a similar gay Cameroonian teenager in Switzerland each fight 
deportation to their homophobic home countries, but a gay Tel Aviv couple becomes 
Israel's first to win a lawsuit seeking joint adoption rights... and more GLBT 
news from around the world   (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by 
RICK WATTS and SHERI LUNN).

* OLIVIA RECORDS was the audacious little California collective that brought 
some of the first great lesbian feminist music to the world.   "This Way Out" 
correspondent ELAINE MEIZLISH ["The 10th Voice"/KKFI-Kansas City, Missouri] 
gets Olivia pioneer and President JUDY DLUGACZ talking about the company's 
pivotal place in the evolution of women's music in this first of a multi-part 
series (with intro music from TERESA TRULL's "Woman-Loving Women," outro music from 
CRIS WILLIAMSON's "If It Weren't for the Music," and thanks to JD DOYLE, MARK 
MANNING, and JAMIE RICH for production assistance).

* The first project showcased under the U.S. here! cable network's indie film 
initiative, "SHELTER," centers on Zach (TREVOR WRIGHT), a young man in San 
Pedro, California who gives up on his dream of art school in order to provide 
for his family.   But when his best friend's brother Shaun (BRAD ROWE) returns 
to town, their casual surfing relationship turns into much more, setting off a 
chain of events forcing Zach to choose between continuing to put others first 
or fighting for what he wants for himself.   After winning awards at LGBT film 
festivals across North America, the "gay surfer" movie has finally caught a 
slow wave into U.S. theatrical release and will soon be available on DVD.   
With preview clips, "This Way Out’s" STEVE PRIDE talks with the film’s neophyte 
writer/director JONAH MARKOWITZ about hanging tough and hanging ten   (with 
intro/outro music from the soundtrack, "Lie to Me," performed by SHANE MACK)
