SEGMENT #1 -  "NewsWrap": The Obama administration reverses Bush policy and adds the U.S. signature to a December first-ever United Nations General Assembly declaration in support of LGBT rights;  Pope Benedict XVI comes under fire for claiming that condom distribution increases the spread of HIV/AIDS;  Denmark's parliament gives civilly united same-gender couples equal adoption rights, while a gay male couple wins adoption rights in Israel for the first time, and a U.S. federal judge orders the state of Louisiana to recognize a gay male couple's New York adoption;  the California Secretary of State green-lights the gathering of sig natures on a petition to put a marriage equality measure on the 2010 state ballot, and a marriage equality bill advances to full consideration by the Vermont state Senate, but the Minnesota Family Council pushes a same-gender marriage ban in that state to prevent the end of the world – seriouslyy – and the rightwing World Net Daily Web site rants against more incclusive definitions of marriage in the dictionary  (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by MICHAEL LEBEAU and JOHN TORRES) [9:57]  +  Harvey Milk interview/Part 2 billboard [:09] . . . .  10:06

SEGMENT #2 –  "EDWARD CARPENTER, ENGLAND'S CHARISMATIC VISIONARRY" is celebrated in a "RAINBOW MINUTE"  (produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by JON KLEIN) .   1:07

SEGMENT #3 -  Last time on "This Way Out" you heard the first part of GREG GORDON's illuminating and highly entertaining interview with gay civil rights trailblazer HARVEY MILK, recorded just a few weeks after he was sworn in as a San Francisco Supervisor, and 8 months before his assassination.  He talked about how his longtime district-wide activism propelled his electoral victory, and the importance of coalition building with ethnic minorities.  In this week's conclusion, Harvey elaborates on the importance of voter registration in advancing equality.  He also offers his critique of what he called the "self-appointed leaders" of the LGBT civil rights movement (with outro music from "He Was A Friend of Mine" performed by THE BYRDS, and thanks to STEVE PRIDE and RICK WATTS) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  15:15
