SEGMENT #1 -  "NewsWrap": Jamaica's Prime Minister Bruce Golding vows to oppose any attempts to decriminalize consensual adult same-gender sex to "protect" his country, but British Prime Minister Gordon Brown welcomes LGBT activists to a first-ever reception at 10 Downing Street;  California's Supreme Court hears oral arguments in the lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the same-gender marriage-banning Proposition 8;  a lawsuit to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, which bans recognition by the U.S. government of same-gender couples, is filed in federal court, while a bill to repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy banning military service by open gays and lesbians is filed in the U.S. Cong
ress;  and LGBT activists in Belarus sue the city of Gomel for banning an anti-homophobia demonstration  (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by DONNAANN WARD and RICK WATTS) [10:04]  +  Billboard for the "Rainbow Minute" and "Eleven Minutes" feature [:10] . . . . . .  10:14


SEGMENT #2 ­  It wouldn't take much for TURKEY to top its regional neighbors when it comes to acceptance of gays and lesbians.  Although the country is predominantly Muslim, it’s a secular republic where homosexuality is not officially illegal.  Still, harassment by the public and the police occurs on a regular basis.  The offices of Lambda Istanbul, the country’s leading LGBTadvocacy group, were raided last year, and a local court agreed with authorities that the organization should be shut down for violating "morality" and "family values."  That ruling was overturned by the country’s Supreme Court of Appeal, but activists remain concerned about its legal ramifications.  So what’s it like to "come out" in Turkey?  Radio Netherlands human rights reporter JONATHAN GROUBERT asked a young man named EMERCAN  (with transmittal thanks to RN's ERIC BEAUCHEMIN) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   5:39


SEGMENT #3 -  "TWO" I.D. by JAY McCARROLL [:19]  +  "He Will, He Will Rock You" celebrates the life of Zanzibar-born lead singer FREDDIE MERCURY
of the British rock band Queen in a "RAINBOW MINUTE"  (produced by JUDD PROTCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by TINY STEVENS) [1:04]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   1:23


SEGMENT #4 ­  An ongoing legal battle between Lifetime, Bravo and thhe Weinstein Company has delayed the premiere of the sixth season of U.S. reality TV's "PROJECT RUNWAY", so if you're a devotee of gay reality cat fights you may be in serious withdrawal.  But according to "This Way Out" entertainment reporter STEVE PRIDE, the new documentary feature "ELEVEN MINUTES," chronicling the hectic post-victory life of the show’s first winner, JAY McCARROLL, might be just the interim fix you need.   Steve chats briefly with the film's producer/director MICHAEL SELDITCH ("Fixing Frank," "Project Jay," "Open Bar," "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy") ­ and at length with the larger-than-life McCarroll himself, about fashion, sexuality, and supermodels named Heidi  (with film clips, and outro music from "What's It Like To Be You" by PAXTON) . . . . . . . . . .   8:57
