This Way Out (LGBT)
This Way Out leads off each week with NewsWrap, a summary of some of the major news events in or affecting the lesbian/gay community, compiled from a variety of publications and broadcasts around the world.
On the new “This Way Out” (hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle), Russian repression threatens the Olympic torch (venerable writer/activist Harvey Fierstein discusses his “New York Times” op-ed assailing President Vladimir Putin on MSNBC’s “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell”)… Cameroon activists mourn assassinated leader Eric Lemembe (Ngala Killian Chimtom of “Free Speech Radio News” reports from Yaounde)… Zimbabwe’s long hard slog against hate continues (“Free Speech Radio News” reporter Garikai Chaunza has the latest from Harare)… and in “NewsWrap” (produced Steve Pride and reported this week by Christopher Gaal and Tanya Kane-Parry), news in or about Russia dominates this week’s LGBT headlines, while Moldova surprises rights groups with its own “no promo homo” law, death threats and stones greet Montenegro’s first-ever LGBT Pride march, dignitaries are pelted with eggs at Lithuania’s second Pride, and a Super Mario satire stings Spanish language media.
Those stories — and more this week — when you discover “This Way Out: the international gay and lesbian radio magazine,” the world’s audio oasis for LGBT news and culture.
