About the Show
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.
Aftershocks continue in the wake of the pardon of a U.S. Marine killer of a Filipina trans-woman; LGBTQs mourn the loss of notorious ally Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Hong Kongs High Court hands same-gender couples one win and one loss, a U.S. judge makes spousal rights retroactive for pre-equality same-gender couples, a U.K. Employment Tribunal protects gender variance under the Equality Act, Chick-fil-A flops after their San Antonio Airport flap, and more global LGBTQ news!
Guests:
Ruth Bader Ginsburg; Joe Biden; Donald Trump, George Stephanopoulos, Wade Crowfoot; PJ Ravel, Naomi Fontanos.
Notes:
If you or someone at your station has produced or will be producing a news, interview or feature story which may be of interest to the international LGBTQ community, please let us know! We’re a bare bones nonprofit and can only reimburse minor expenses, but we dooffer a considerably larger number of ears for locally produced material (TWO airs on dozens and dozens of terrestrial and online stations around the world). Please say hello to Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at [email protected].
