This Way Out’s founding Coordinating Producer leaves a legacy of historic LGBTQ audio that begins more than a decade before the only internationally syndicated queer radio show debuted. This memorial tribute features his exclusive 1979 interview with San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk and “Diminished Capacity,” his documentary on the aftermath of Milk’s assassination, and coverage of the first LGBTQ March on Washington (Part 1 of 2, produced by Lucia Chappelle and Brian DeShazor).
And in NewsWrap: the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy for minors, rebellious protests in India on International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) after the president signs a law that erases trans rights, the Trump White House denounces the Biden administration’s support of TDOV, New South Wales is still waiting for the release of the Sackar Report on hate crimes, queer Kenyan activists are launching a voter registration campaign, a trio of trans athletes win third place in the Oceanside, California Ironman race, and more international LGBTQ news reported this week by Ava Davis and John Dyer V (News Editor Ebony Joseph, News Producer Brian DeShazor).
All this on the April 6, 2026 edition of This Way Out!
