I wanted to bring you up to date on the changes I discussed regarding PayPal. We are indeed pursuing our own Merchant Account so that we may take payments directly without PayPal. However there is way more there than I anticipated. So the crow I mentioned is that for the temporary we will still utilize Paypal. How all that happened? Chris aka David my partner has an extensive retail background and is very familiar with merchant accounts. So he will be handling getting that set up. As well he will handle the finance too. Yay! I left accounting as a major so very happy to have his help on the merchant accounts and all. The first thing different is that with a merchant account it is better to have all processing in one place. So Chris has convinced me, with tons of resistance, to move all SWS related services to one place. That being www.onequalgrounds.net. This will help with SSL services needed to implement the merchant account. I have also heard from a few members who think it a great idea to have it all in one place. So maybe a bit more crow for me eh? lol I have no problem admitting I do not always have the best idea. So if you want an OutVoice banner ad or any service we offer you can do it all at www.onequalgrounds.net. We will still not be utilizing donations though. I have added several promotional service like page, chart, wing sponsorships along with some web services to support SWS and the Network. Please take a minute to check it out and let me know what you think. I am still in the six month mode to see if this corrects the financial issues. But I know I feel much better about providing something for your support. So anxious to hear what you think. If you want to see just the SWS promotions go here: http://www.onequalgrounds.net/swsnetpromos.htm. The OEG promotions include META tags and the like. Happy to answer any questions. So also will be some changes to the SWS.net website. It will now be a central point of information about all the websites in the SWS Network. Thanks for your support!

(hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle) The "boys in the documentary" recall a cultural classic; The rarely-retiring U.S. Congressman Barney Frank says he's retiring; Australia's Labor Party favors marriage equality with an escape clause, Queensland creates civil unions, a bill to criminalize same-gender weddings and LGBT advocacy clears Nigeria's Senate, Cameroon jails 3 more gay men, Spain's queer couples race to the altar, and more news - In "NewsWrap": Delegates to the National Conference of Australia's ruling Labor Party vote to support marriage equality, but also approve allowing a conscience vote for their MPs on any marriage equality legislation, while a measure to create civil unions for same-gender and hetero couples wins approval in Queensland's parliament, but Nigeria's Senate approves legislation to criminalize same-gender unions and anyone who supports them, while neighboring Cameroon sentences three more men to prison for homosexuality... applications for marriage licenses by same-gender couples surge in Spain following the landslide election victory of the center-right People's Party... Russians resent criticism by the U.S. and the U.K. of a bill in the northwestern city of St. Petersburg that would ban so-called "homosexual propaganda"... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, produced by STEVE PRIDE, and reported this week by SARAH SWEENEY and MICHAEL LEBEAU). - The longest-serving openly gay member of the U.S. Congress announced his retirement this week. MASSACHUSETTS Democrat BARNEY FRANK, one of four "out" lawmakers currently in office, said the political realities of redistricting, and the never-ending demands of campaign fund-raising, led to his decision. He?ll probably be remembered most for his outspoken liberal views, his championing of LGBT rights ? though not always in step with activists and advocacy groups ? and his push for Wall Street reform as Chair of the House Financial Services Committee. Well-known for never suffering fools gladly, we remember some of his "Greatest Hits", including verbally pummeling a bigoted constituent at a town hall meeting; discussing military showering with a reporter from the Conservative News Service; and flaunting his "Gay Agenda". President Obama and virtually every major progressive and LGBT advocacy group heaped praise on the long-serving legislator, but BRYAN FISCHER of the virulently homophobic AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION added B.S., fire and brimstone to the mix. Frank quickly ruled out a couple of post-Congressional career options and discussed other possibilities during a Q & A following his official retirement announcement. - It?s beloved by some and condemned by others. Did "THE BOYS IN THE BAND" break new ground, or did it reinforce negative gay stereotypes? The controversy the play and the subsequent film sparked still simmers more than four decades after its pre-Stonewall debut. Writer-director CRAYTON ROBEY tackles its legacy and its place in LGBT history in a documentary just released on DVD called "MAKING THE BOYS." With preview clips in hand, he shares some behind-the-scenes thoughts on his film with "This Way Out?s" STEVE PRIDE. ************************************************************************"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 donations from our listeners. => Please log on to thiswayout.org to add your support [a tax-deductible charitable donation in the U.S.].

(hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle) U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton makes U.N. history; There's no waffling in Belgium over the world's first openly gay Prime Minister, Australia claims the Western world's first intersex public official, the U.S. Ninth Circuit hears even more about Prop 8, a Honolulu lesbian couple sues for marriage equality, a rights vote looms in Anchorage, Riverdale's Kevin Keller gets hitched, and more LGBT news - In "NewsWrap": A U.S. presidential directive and a U.N. speech by the Secretary of State combine for what is being called "the most affirming LGBT rights foreign policy in the nation's history" ? although extremist televangelist PAT ROBERTSON strongly disagrees (hear what he told his Christian Broadcasting Network "700 Club" viewers)... Elio Di Rupo's swearing in as Prime Minister of Belgium makes him the world's first openly gay head of government, while Australia's Tony Briffa may be the Western world's first known intersex elected official as he becomes the Mayor of Hobsons Bay, a local government authority near Melbourne, Victoria... adversaries debate the release of video recordings of the Proposition 8 trial, and Chief District Court Judge Vaughn Walker's ability to impartially rule that the California marriage-banning measure is unconstitutional, at the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, while a Honolulu lesbian couple sues the state of Hawai'i for marriage rights, and equality activists in Anchorage, Alaska appear to have submitted the required number of signatures on initiative petitions to put an LGBT anti-bias measure on the April 2012 city ballot... Kevin Keller's Riverdale nuptials headlining the January issue of "Life With Archie" will not only be mainstream comics' first same-gender wedding, it'll be an interracial one at that.. and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, produced by STEVE PRIDE, and reported this week by VASH BODDIE and RICK WATTS). ? U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON delivered a groundbreaking speech in advance of INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS DAY at the U.N. HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL in GENEVA on December 6th. She insisted that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which defines in general terms the basic rights to which all human beings are entitled, applies to sexual minorities, too. In these excerpts from her historic half-hour address, Clinton also disputes widely-held beliefs in some parts of the world that homosexuality is a Western import; addresses religious-based opposition to LGBT rights; talks about how government support for sexual minority rights can advance social acceptance; and offers support to LGBT people around the world. *********************************************** "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 donations from our listeners. => Please log on to thiswayout.org to add your support [a tax-deductible charitable donation in the U.S.].

Promise me you?ll read all the way to the end? Not so long ago, as I was about to give up on yet another not-for-profit group that I had volunteered for, something happened that stopped me in my tracks. After years of volunteering to research, report, write, edit and raise money for non-commercial radio, I had just reached the point of burn-out. I had put in hundreds of hours producing stories and full-length programs. I had hosted our station?s ?9-11? coverage for eight hours. I had spent all my ?free? time working on any number of philanthropic ventures for a couple of years and I was just tired out. I had made a decision to resign from all my radio work, and just work at my regular job as a university professor. The show I gave the most time to was This Way Out, the International Lesbian & Gay Radio Magazine. I was proud of my work there and had served as board chair for a number of years. We had faced crisis after crisis, but ?the little show that could? managed to go out over the airwaves on a budget of essentially nothing. Working on the show, we knew that the stories, news, reviews and dispatches from and to virtually the entire planet about the lives of LGBT people and the world in which they live were being heard. But like virtually everyone who puts in long hours on philanthropic projects, I was just worn out. For the eighth or ninth or twentieth time, I vowed to write a note to the show?s founder and producer Greg Gordon and say ?GG (My pet nick name for him), I just can?t do it anymore?? Now remember, I love Greg and Lucia Chappelle, his comrade in arms putting the show together for close to a quarter century. I love the volunteers who worked the show and the far-flung informal network of correspondents around the world who contributed. They are my personal heroes, having done as much, if not more for the cause of LGBT rights as anyone on the planet. They continue to work on the show long past the time any reasonable person would have given up. They gather and write perhaps the single most comprehensive record of international LGBT news any place. They produce the lively, weekly half hour show that is heard on more than 200 local stations in the U.S., Australia, Canada and New Zealand, via World Radio Networks satellite in Europe and the Asia-Pacific and Middle East/Africa, on iTunes, and on free podcasts at the This Way Out website. I had written my resignation letter, when I saw in my email inbox a message from someone in India. The sender sounded young. I?ll call him ?Rasheed?, because he says he can?t have his real name get out. In the email to me as board chair, he wrote about how hard it was being gay in his small village in central India, how his family would disown him if they found out about his being gay. He said he didn?t think there were any other people like him in the world. He said that he had often considered suicide, because he had no hope of meeting someone like himself. He had given up on the possibility of falling in love with another gay man. Then he heard This Way Out, and was instantly addicted. He said he had to listen on his headphones, in the dark, in his bedroom when everyone else was asleep, but finding This Way Out let him know that the world was full of passionate, accomplished and above all proud Lesbians and Gay men. He heard stories of protest and legislative triumph. He heard music by openly out and proud gay artists. He heard interviews with queer writers, and reviews of gay film festivals. He heard the latest news on protests and gay pride celebrations virtually across the planet. He heard stories of gay athletes and community organizers. Most of all, he heard hope. I tore up my resignation letter and told Greg the story. He laughed and said, ?yeah, I know that letter.? It?s had different names over the years, and it has come from all over the planet ? from Africa, Cuba, Pakistan and the Philippines; from India, Ireland, Germany and South Africa. It has come from Rasheed, Salima, Tyler and Kim. It?s come from the lonely Gay boy named Tony in Oklahoma and from Lisa in Florida who had a crush on a girl in high school. Ever so gently, I cursed ?Rasheed? under my breath, because there was no way I could resign from this effort that had the possibility of reaching even one ? or ten, or a hundred, or ten thousand ? Rasheeds and Salimas or Tylers or Kims around the world who heard that they were valued as a Lesbian or Gay man, that their life is worthwhile and that they are not alone; there are loving and powerful communities of LGBT people around the planet solving their social problems and fighting for acceptance, and their voices are respected and treasured. I?m writing this to you now because that radio show, This Way Out, is in trouble. After nearly two and a half decades of telling the world about LGBT people, after over 12 hundred weekly shows, after reporting the truth around the world, This Way Out is in real danger of shutting down forever. The show is produced on a shoe string ? Greg will share financial records with anyone who asks, although there isn?t much to see! Both Greg and Lucia faced life-saving surgery this past year, and the work of keeping the show going gets harder and harder. Considering how important it is to worldwide Gay communities, it would be a tragedy if This Way Out had to shut down. I?m writing you because I believe in the show, and I believe that you will want to be a part of the effort to keep it on the air. I know requests like this have become so commonplace online that it is easy to discard; you just hit the delete button. But think what your $20 or $50 or $100 dollars would mean to Rasheed, Salima or Kim. Think of the lives of young LGBT people you will be changing. This Way Out is a treasure of our unruly, exuberant gay community. I?m begging you to take the time to think about this; to go to the This Way Out web site (www.thiswayout.org) and use PayPal to make either a one-time donation or to sign up for modest automated monthly donations -- or postal mail your contribution to This Way Out at P.O. Box 38327, Los Angeles, CA 90038 USA. FYI, all U.S. donations are tax-deductible charitable contributions. Now more than ever, we need you to not be shy or ambivalent about this. We have a number of ways to thank you; that?s not new. You hear these pitches all the time. But how many times have you heard that your donation could potentially save a life? Think about it. Every time you hear of a Gay suicide, or a horrendous case of bullying, haven?t you wanted to take some kind of action? Contribute now. Be generous. Tell your friends. Jon Beaupre Assoc.

"THIS WAY OUT: the international lesbian & gay radio magazine" Program #1,238 - distributed 12/19/11 Airs on more than 200 local stations around the world... or Listen now via our free podcasts at www.thiswayout.org or on iTunes. (hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle) "Becoming Santa" makes the yuletide gay and the truth about Mrs. Claus; News of the "out" in 2011; The U.N. documents LGBT human wrongs, Malawi reviews its sodomy statutes, lesbian Australian Finance Minister Penny Wong is a new mom, Philippines activists carol Catholic Bishops, some kids in Michigan can again "don" their "gay apparel", and more LGBT news A holiday season programming reminder: There won't be a "NewsWrap" segment on the next two "This Way Out" shows to be distributed on December 26, 2011; and on January 2, 2012. Special features will fill each of those new programs. - In "NewsWrap": The United Nations Human Rights Council releases a first-ever comprehensive report detailing human rights abuses against sexual minorities around the world, with recommendations to the UN's 193 member states on how to better protect them... government leaders in Nigeria, Ghana and Uganda say they'll never support decriminalizing homosexuality, but Malawi's Justice Minister says such laws there need to be reviewed because they might not reflect "public opinion"... a petition opposing "no promo homo" laws in Russia bears almost a quarter million signatures from around the world... Australian Finance Minister Penny Wong and her longtime partner Sophie Allouache welcome baby Alexandra into the world... LGBT activists in the Philippines serenade the country's Catholic Bishops Conference with rights-promoting Christmas carols, while first- and second-graders in Traverse City, Michigan can once again "don" their "gay apparel"... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, produced by STEVE PRIDE, and reported this week by SHERI LUNN and GARY SHAW). - A "RAINBOW MINUTE" collection compiles some NOTABLE "COMING OUTS" IN 2011 (produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by ROBERT FRIEDLINE) + "HARK THE HERALD FAERIES SHOUT" performed by the GAY LIBERATION QUIRE OF SYDNEY. - Openly-gay JACK SANDERSON wanted to find out first-hand what it?s like to be Father Christmas, and ? with director Jeff Myers ? he ended up starring in the hit documentary "BECOMING SANTA." "This Way Out's" VASH BODDIE won't say whether he sat on Santa Jack's lap, but he did get the interview he wanted for Christmas. - A Bonus "RAINBOW MINUTE" connects "MRS. CLAUS & MISS BATES" (produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by DANIELA WYATT). - "HAPPY WHATEVER YOU'RE HAVING" [excerpt] performed by THE THERAPY SISTERS. *********************************************** "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 donations from our listeners. => Please log on to thiswayout.org to add your support [a tax-deductible charitable donation in the U.S.].

Message-ID: <8CE8F2C7795D8CD-A6C-5D29@Webmail-m118.sysops.aol.com> Response to "This Way Out's" holiday fund-raising appeal has been very discouraging. We need to at least match the amount our listener-supporters donated during last year's holiday season -- a little more than $3,000 -- to demonstrate to our major foundation funder that there's enough listener support to justify their renewed grant to "This Way Out". We're not even close to that goal yet... but isn't $3,000 a relative pittance to help underwrite 52 internationally-syndicated weekly LGBT community radio programs in 2012? We know that many folks are having a tough time making ends meet right now. But if you're fortunate enough to have a few bucks to contribute, we hope you'll include a donation to "This Way Out" on your holiday gift list -- whatever you can afford will help us reach our modest goal. Please don't assume that others will donate even if you don't! We literally can't go on without you!

Jimmy Creech Message-ID: <8CE92E409D16CA4-E68-FA3E@webmail-m062.sysops.aol.com> = H A P P Y H O L I D A Y S = "THIS WAY OUT: the international lesbian & gay radio magazine" Program #1,239 - distributed 12/26/11 Airs on more than 200 local stations around the world... or Listen now via our free podcasts at www.thiswayout.org or on iTunes. (produced this week by Lucia Chappelle and hosted by Greg Gordon) His outspoken support for LGBT rights cost the Reverend Jimmy Creech his ordination in the United Methodist Church, but his ministry for justice is never-ending. His eye-opening analysis explains what made the Christian hierarchy so afraid of sex. - In the late 1990s, one courageous Methodist pastor took up the cause of LGBT equality. His mission, which included a number of banned same-gender commitment ceremonies, cost him his ordination, but his ministry to the disenfranchised has continued. This week, the REVEREND JIMMY CREECH talks about how receiving "ADAM'S GIFT" -- the title of his recently released memoir -- changed the course of his life forever. He recounts his comprehensive study of Biblical texts and church history, which led him to the conclusion that the condemnation of LGBT people is not God's doing, but the result of a sex-negative church hierarchy (with thanks to M.C.C.-L.A.'s J.D. SEBASTIAN for production assistance). - A brief promo for next week's "Pride On Screen 2011" (voiced by STEVE PRIDE, with a quick montage of preview clips). *********************************************** "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 donations from our listeners. => Please log on to thiswayout.org to add your support [a tax-deductible charitable donation in the U.S.].
