USAGE LIMITED ONLY BY TIMELINESS OF NEWS CONTENT! => RUNDOWN <= Opening Teases/Theme Music/Intro Continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:10 SEGMENT #1 – NewsWrap: With the still reverberating Ontario Superior Court edict ordering marriage equality for same-gender couples, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien refers the contentious issue to a parliamentary committee and appoints a new Justice to the country's Supreme Court (where the matter seems likely to eventually wind up), as a recent survey commissioned by the ruling Liberal Party finds 48% in support of equal marriage rights, while a new poll in Hong Kong finds 80% of its residents support not only same-gender marriage but full adoption rights for those couples, and the Scottish Law Commission calls for equal survivor rights for gay & lesbian domestic partners, but the German Catholic Church indicates that any of its employees who contract the country's new "registered life partnerships" will be fired, and newly-selected global Anglican leader Dr. Rowan Williams appears to back-track on his support for queer equality by issuing a letter in support of homophobic resolutions adopted at the 1998 global Anglican Lambeth Conference, while a panel appointed at that Conference to study queer-related issues reports that it has yet to find common ground; pride celebrations continue around the world, with events in the Netherlands (Amsterdam), Sweden (Stockholm), Switzerland (Neuchatel), the U.K. (Hull), British Columbia (Vancouver & Victoria), Quebec (Montreal), Ontario (Ottawa & London), Prince Edward Island (Charlottetown), Newfoundland (St. John's), and California (San Diego), but New Orleans city officials nix a proposal for a specifically-queer 2003 Mardi Gras Carnival parade; and male comic book heroes Apollo and The Midnighter exchange vows as "husband and husband" in the final issue of DC Comics' "The Authority" series [written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, BRIAN NUNES, JASON LIN, CHRIS AMBIDGE, REX WOCKNER, LUCIA CHAPPELLE & GREG GORDON, and anchored by CINDY FRIEDMAN & GREG GORDON] [10:45] + Billboard for "Bewitched Forever" feature (over "NewsWrap" outro music) [:15] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11:00 SEGMENT #2 - It's been three years since BRIAN GREIG became the first openly gay Senator ever elected in Australia. A member of the minority Australian Democratic Party, Greig had already established an impressive track record as a prominent activist in his home state of West Australia. But as he tells JOHN FRAME [4ZZZ's "Queer Radio"/Brisbane, Queensland], his experience in Parliament has called for a somewhat different kind of political work [6:05] + "TWO" I.D. by pioneering openly gay singing duo ROMANOVSKY & PHILLIPS (with an excerpt from "Brave Boys") [:20] . . 6:25 SEGMENT #3 - HERBIE J. PILATO spent years doing the research for "BEWITCHED FOREVER: THE IMMORTAL COMPANION TO TELEVISION'S MOST MAGICAL SUPERNATURAL SITUATION COMEDY" –- but it was truly a labor of love. His goal was not simply to chronicle the on- and off-screen details of the popular 60s show: Pilato is not alone in his belief that the classic TV sitcom was in many ways a metaphor for queer life. Pilato's quest led him to meetings with gay civil rights advocate Elizabeth "Samantha" Montgomery and several of the show's other stars -- but it took some 1990s "magic" to make it happen, as he explains in this enchanting conversation with JONE DEVLIN [KPFT's "Lesbian and Gay Voices"/Houston, Texas] (with intro/outro music from the original "Bewitched" TV theme song). . 9:05 [info@summitbooks.com] Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:15 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:55 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", RE-RUNNING TV'S MAGICAL "BEWITCHED" THROUGH A QUEER LENSE, AND AUSTRALIA'S FIRST ELECTED OPENLY GAY SENATOR BRIAN GREIG [GREG] "OUT"LINES HIS "AGENDA"...
