This show will not only give an overview of the forces of history that enabled, and later, destroyed The Pansy Craze, but also I'll share with you the rare music of the performers involved.

Strong, Solid and Sensational (1945) Ray Bourbon ? Take a Lei (1941) A side comment is that this is a show I worked especially hard on, as the amount of research required was tremendous, matched by the challenge of doing justice to the history in a short amount of time. I realize this show certainly may Not be the musical cup of tea of many people, but I just feel this period of time needs to be documented and the music and information gathered as a resource.

However, after stumbling upon some Talking Heads and giving myself a crash course in amazing albums by Devo, Oingo Boingo, Squeeze and Peter Gabriel, I've become a big fan of both classic and New New Wave including bands like Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, Interpol and The Killers. That said, it's really great to see a band like The Wavos continuing the New Wave tradition by combining both the classic and modern forms and crafting them into their own form of alternative power pop. The band members, longtime musical collaborators "Major" Joe Bace, Gordeon Smyth and Tone Maul, all honed their skills as part of the New York City scene throughout the '80s and '90s before forming as The Wavos and bringing their act south to the beach. Since then they have garnered a reputation as energetic performers known for their extensive list of New Wave covers - but make no mistake, these guys are more than a cover band. On "Wave Crazed" they offer a small, yet memorable collection of original tracks including the danceable lead track "I Must Be Crazy" and the fancifully frenetic "Aerobic Commuting." For those who want to truly immerse themselves in this old-school vibe, tracks like "I Will Show You Mine," "Tribe Girl" and "Normal Girls" will make you think it's 1982 all over again.

SEGMENT #2 ? The organization GAYS AND LESBIANS OF ZIMBABWE gained global attention in 1995 when a violent mob drove them out of the Zimbabwe International Book Fair. The activists of GALZ believed that a high profile event with the theme "Human Rights and Justice" emphasizing "Freedom of Expression and of the Press" would be the perfect place to get their message across. They had been barred from access to the media. Their struggle to participate in the Book Fair went on for years. They?ve also endured hearing officials like President Robert Mugabe repeatedly call them "worse than pigs and dogs." But their movement grew to encompass AIDS education and a host of other services, including a GALZ Resource Centre in Harare. GALZ and its work have come into the spotlight again with the recent release of the U.S. State Department's annual human rights report. It documents a rise of so-called "corrective rape" used against lesbians and gay men in Zimbabwe. Since when does a hate crime become a "cure" for anything? GALZ Programmes Manager for Gender FADZAI MUPARUTSA explained the phenomenon to VIOLET GONDA on her SW Radio Africa ?Hotseat? program (with production thanks to FRIEDA WERDEN). ********************************************************** "This Way Out" is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit under the corporate name of OVERNIGHT PRODUCTIONS (INC.), and is supported by a grant from the Kicking Assets Fund of the Tides Foundation, and through tax-deductible donations from our listeners -- thank you! ==> Please visit www.thiswayout.org to help keep "This Way Out" on the air -- and choose from several unique LGBT music, history and culture "thank you gift" CDs. ******************************************************** On the air since April 1988, "This Way Out" is the multi-award-winning internationally distributed weekly gay and lesbian radio newsmagazine.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - My father believes that every young man should serve his country. Knowing this, I understood his dismay when, years ago, I announced to him that I wouldn't be following in his footsteps to join the Army. Show business, tuxedos and boas were mercilessly calling my name. But, somewhere between the honor of being commissioned the title of Kentucky Colonel by Kentucky governor Ernie Fletcher and being the recipient of the "Premio Estrella" from LLEGO, (the Washington D.C.-based LGBT Latino/Latina organization) my name started to appear on the invite list for certain events in Washington. Undoubtedly, being a gay Mexican-American comic has its privileges. I was reminded of the various ways one can serve their country when I received the invitation to the White House arrival ceremony to welcome Felipe Calderon, President of Mexico and First Lady Margarita Zavala which took place on May 19. (I never got the invites to the ceremonies welcoming Queen Elizabeth II in 2007 or Pope Benedict XVI in 2008 during the Bush administration but perhaps those just got lost in the mail.) Due to recent security issues, getting onto the White House grounds was a long process that included three checkpoints. "Oh-oh," I thought. Surely if they're going to make any cuts to the master guest list, the gay comic is going to be the first to go. But I made it though and made quick friends with Raul Salinas, Mayor of Laredo and Chad Foster, Mayor of Eagle Pass (a Spanish-speaking diva) who both jokingly made a fuss about why there were no breakfast tacos and suggested punch lines I could try out on stage. "Where do you live?" Mayor Salinas asked me. "San Antonio," I replied. "Where's that?" he said. Badda-boom. Everybody's a comedian. After we were ushered into place, top-level officials, who included a sprightly Vice President Joe Biden and Second Lady Jill Biden, took their spots near the podium. Next, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took her place. It was Clinton who mesmerized me. Beautiful and powerful, I was in awe of being in the presence of such a historically significant woman. At times, it seems she may not attain appreciation for her role in public office until many years have passed. For the record, let it be known that I want to be just like her when I grow up. Under overcast skies, the ceremony got started after a full display of military might, grandeur and a majestic rendition of "Ruffles and Flourishes" and "Hail to the Chief." Finally, a regal introduction of President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama brought the first couple front and center. After the 21-gun salute, the national anthem of Mexico was played. President Calderon mouthed the words to the song and I could see other Mexican dignitaries proudly sing out as well. Then, the National Anthem of the United States was played. It was seemingly reserved singing from my section which had Rev. Al Sharpton placed at my left and Congressman Ciro Rodriguez (D-TX) to my right, but don't think I didn't go all "Whitney Houston" on the "home of the brave" bit. I am a trained professional, after all. I had to represent. To me, the most meaningful part of the affair was when both presidents made remarks about their goals for a good relationship between the two countries. President Calderon spoke frankly when he said: "I know that we share the interest in promoting dignified, legal and orderly living conditions to all migrant workers. Many of them, despite their significant contribution to the economy and to the society of the United States, still live in the shadows and, occasionally, as in Arizona, they even face discrimination." Yep, he totally went there. Respectfully noting the year of two celebrations, the bicentennial of Mexican independence and the centennial of the Mexican revolution, President Obama quoted Nobel Prize-winning poet Octavio Paz when he said, "between tradition and modernity, there is a bridge." I left the ceremony with renewed respect for the traditions of our country and a hope that relations between the United States and Mexico will strengthen and adapt to the needs of the 21st century. By spreading this message of goodwill and diplomacy, perhaps every American has the opportunity to serve their country, regardless of their profession. I'd like to think that's something I learned from my dad. Jade Esteban Estrada is a comedian and human rights activist.

Our recap of this week's developments includes comments by National Center for Lesbian Rights Executive Director KATE KENDALL and other staffmembers at an ENDA rally in SAN FRANCISCO. - When police raided the headquarters of GAYS AND LESBIANS OF ZIMBABWE on May 21st and arrested two staffmembers, the difficult struggle we heard about last time on "This Way Out" got even harder. No one is sure how much information was included in the computers and documents that were seized under the search warrant for "dangerous drugs and pornography." GALZ representatives who are out of the country at various meetings are being warned not to return, as more arrests are expected. Wherever she is now, GALZ Programmes Manager for Gender FADZAI MUPARUTSA is certainly a potential target. She may not have expected such a dramatic turn of events when she spoke recently with VIOLET GONDA on her SW Radio Africa "Hotseat" program (the conclusion of their 2-part conversation, with thanks for production assistance to FRIEDA WERDEN). ********************************************************** "This Way Out" is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit under the corporate name of OVERNIGHT PRODUCTIONS (INC.), and is supported by a grant from the Kicking Assets Fund of the Tides Foundation, and through tax-deductible donations from our listeners -- thank you! ==> Please visit www.thiswayout.org to help keep "This Way Out" on the air -- and choose from several unique LGBT music, history and culture "thank you gift" CDs. ******************************************************** On the air since April 1988, "This Way Out" is the multi-award-winning internationally distributed weekly gay and lesbian radio newsmagazine.

The pending bill would allow the Pentagon and the White House to conduct further study and ultimately to determine the policy's extinction process -- and that has homophobic right wing dinosaurs howling hysterically at the idea that gays and lesbians will one day be able to serve openly. MSNBC commentator KEITH OLBERMANN exposed some of the most extreme examples this week on his "Countdown" program (with comments by queer writer/activist DAN SAVAGE[www.msnbc.com]. - May 22nd marked the first official HARVEY MILK DAY in the state of CALIFORNIA. The birthday of the assassinated gay San Francisco Supervisor became an annual "day of special significance" in the Golden State with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's signature late last year. TANNER EFFINGER, a member of the Governing Board of Equality Across America, organized a Milk Day celebration in LOS ANGELES. "This Way Out's" STEVE PRIDE was among those who came out for the event (with a brief postscript from the archives by HARVEY MILK, and intro/outro music from "This Kind of Love" by MEG HENTGES). ********************************************************** "This Way Out" is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit under the corporate name of OVERNIGHT PRODUCTIONS (INC.), and is supported by a grant from the Kicking Assets Fund of the Tides Foundation, and through tax-deductible donations from our listeners -- thank you! ==> Please visit www.thiswayout.org to help keep "This Way Out" on the air -- and choose from several unique LGBT music, history and culture "thank you gift" CDs. ******************************************************** On the air since April 1988, "This Way Out" is the multi-award-winning internationally distributed weekly gay and lesbian radio newsmagazine.
