"NewsWrap": An appeals court overturns the 8-year sentences of 9 imprisoned gay Senegalese AIDS educators; Brazil's Grupo Gay da Bahia demands government action to curb the rising tide of queer-ba shing murders there, and the world media spotlight intensifies on the governments of Iraq and the U.S. over escalating murders of gay men in the American-occupied country, while dozens of patrons at a popular gay nightspot in the Ukraine suffer detention and abuse by Kiev police; up to a thousand demonstrators in Dublin protest the Irish government's pending "inferior" civil partnerships bill, while Connecticut state lawmakers and governor formalize their Supreme Court's marriage equality edict, and Nevada's Senate passes a domestic partnership bill, but a New Hampshire Senate committee votes thumbs down on a marriage equality measure; the same New Hampshire panel also rejects a bill to ban bias against transgender people, and a similar measure dies in the Maryland Senate, but Washington's governor signs a bill to add gender identity or expression to that state's hate crimes law; and an anti-gay bar sign doesn't play in Peoria (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by LEIGH MOORE and MICHELE PLEASANT)
Last time on "This Way Out" we heard how conventional 1950s American housewife Ann Weldy overcame her husband's concerns when she achieved success as a lesbian paperback romance novelist. She became famous as ANN BANNON... and ultimately came out herself. Starting with "ODD GIRL OUT," Ba nnon wrote six lesbian-themed novels from 1957 to 1962 that became known as "THE BEEBO BRINKER CHRONICLES." Our correspondent STEVE PRIDE's conversation with the iconic author concludes this week as Bannon describes Beebo's birth, recalls life in New York's Greenwich Village during that era, and responds to being dubbed "the Queen of Lesbian Pulp Fiction" (with intro/outro music from "Secret Love" by DORIS DAY) [8:29] + "TWO" I.D. by ELLEN DEGENERES (over fading outro music) [www.annbannon.com]
Romance (excerpts from "Take Me On" and "Forty Years" from TOM GOSS' "BACK TO LOVE"), seduction ("LYLAS" and "Swimming" from GRETCHEN PHILLIPS' "I WAS JUST COMFORTING HER"), and commitment ("Courage of Our Convictions" and "I'd Do 'Em All" from JULE CLARK's "CHANGE YOUR MIND") shine as we open this month's "AUDIOFILE" (hosted by CHRIS WILSON & JD DOYLE and written and produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM) [www.audiofile.org] more

John Bucchino Interview Singer / Songwriter / Composer Rex Reed has said "If Tennessee Williams was alive and writing tunes he'd be John Bucchino." A catchy quip, but hard to argue with ... John's songs have been recorded by a who's who of the pop and cabaret worlds, artists including Liza Minnelli, Barbara Cook, Judy Collins, Art Garfunkel, Michael Feinstein, Ann Hampton Callaway, Suede, David Campbell, Jimmy Webb, Patti LuPone, and on and on, and his work is a staple in live cabaret venues. Among the numerous awards honoring his music include his musical "It's Only Life" winning the Los Angeles Ovation Award, and his work for the Dreamworks animated film "Joseph, King of Dreams" with the DVD Premiere Award. He wrote the music for the Broadway musical "A Catered Affair," with Harvey Fierstein writing the book (winner of the Drama League Award for Best Musical). His song "Grateful" was used in an award winning children's book, a part of the Julie Andrews Collection. And he's worked for 25 years with Holly Near on her albums and concerts. You'll hear about these projects and his work and friendships with Stephen Schwartz (think "Wicked") and Romanovsky & Phillips. And his only movie role. Liza Minnelli & Billy Stritch - That Smile (2000)
John Bucchino - Something As Simple (1981)
John Bucchino - Contact High (1995)
Ronnie Gilbert - In a Restaurant by the Sea (1986)
Elliott Pilshaw - It Feels Like Home (1986)
