Those same two issues were vying for attention in the U.S. Senate ten years ago this month, when what started out as one bill became DOMA, the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, and ENDA, the EMPLOYMENT NON-DISCRIMINATION ACT. The arguments for and against ENDA in the Senate -- a first time ever discussion of lesbigay civil rights on the floor of either house of Congress -- sound like they could have been recorded last week. Here's how Pacifica Radio's VERNA AVERY BROWN reported the day's impassioned debate on September 6th, 1996 [featuring Senators EDWARD KENNEDY (D-MA), NANCY KASSEBAUM (R-KS), PAUL SIMON (D-IL), DON NICKLES (R-OK) and DIANNE FEINSTEIN (D-CA)]. 7:50 SEGMENT #3- "TWO" I.D. by New Zealand's GEORGINA BEYER, the world's first transsexual elected official [:10] + The last thing BRIAN SLOAN did on the evening of September 10th, 2001 was place an online ad for a roommate in the "Village Voice." Stranger than fiction, on the 12th he had a number of people calling who wanted to look at his apartment, even though few could get downtown to see it. This real life situation served as the jumping off point for his first full-length play, "WTC VIEW," which later became a movie, which became a favorite on the LGBT film festival circuit, and which is now being released on DVD and screening on U.S. cable's LOGO channel. "This Way Out's" STEVE PRIDE has preview clips, and chats with Sloan -- also the author of "A "Really Fine Prom Mess," "A Tale Of Two Summers" and the writer/director of "I Think I Do" -- about his many "views" of life after 9/11 (with music from the soundtrack, "Nicole," performed by TODD ALMOND and BILLY ALLETZHAUSER) [8:20] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:30 [www.BrianSloan.com; www.StevePride.com] Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:00 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON 9/11 FROM BRIAN SLOAN'S "WTC VIEW", AND OBSERVING A DECADE OF DEBATE ON U.S. WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION...
