[KFCF Friends] God, Gays and Empire

[KFCF Subscribers & Friends list]

On Sunday, June 26, 2005 Pacifica sister stations and affiliates will
collaborate to present a unique 10-hour coast-to-coast special called "Gays,
God and Empire," including coverage of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender (LGBT) issues as well as LGBT marches occurring that day in New
York, San Francisco, Denver, Atlanta and other cities. 

WBAI/NY radio will co-anchor the special with KPFA/Berkeley, KPFK/Los
Angeles, WPFW/Washington DC, KPFT/Houston, KGNU/Boulder & Denver,
KFCF/Fresno, and WRFG/Atlanta. 

Topics to be covered include: LGBT immigration, gay marriage, the battle
against the global AIDS pandemic, treatment of queers in countries resisting
the US empire, queer comedy, movies and poetry, pre-Stonewall transgender
activism, music by LGBT artists, the history of Stonewall, Black Pride and
more. 

You will hear the voices of organizers that are connecting the dots of
oppressions, activists who can see that LGBT liberation needs to be done in
the context of the liberation of other oppressed groups.

"Last year WBAI in NYC and KPFA in Berkeley covered pride marches
collaboratively using satellite technology, this year we are expanding the
coverage to 7 major metropolitan areas," according to Vini Beachem, Program
Coordinator at KPFA. 

Pacifica was the first radio network to carry gay and lesbian program
content beginning in the 1950s and the first to carry regular programming
from these communities.
