U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates announces new regulations to limit "Don't Ask Don't Tell" discharges, while former soldiers in the Dutch "Pink Army" say they want to sue retired U.S. Marine General John Sheehan for slander and defamation after he claimed that allowing open gays to serve weakened the armed forces in their country.. and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by LINDA BIRCH and BEN CARON).
    
- By day PETER NEOFOTIS was a Contributing Author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change at the NASA/Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Meanwhile, he was also moonlighting as a writer of short stories. They eventually became the basis of a one-man show at a Greenwich Village cafe. That gig led to the Pirate's Alley Faulkner Prize for Best Novella and the 2009 publication of his book, "CONCORD, VIRGINIA: A SOUTHERN TOWN IN ELEVEN STORIES" (from St. Martin's Press). Neofotis took a stroll down his unusual career path with our correspondents DIXIE TREICHEL and JOHN TOWNSEND (from "Fresh Fruit" at KFAI-FM/Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota).
    
- "JENNIE HODGERS: CIVIL WAR SOLDIER", a woman who fought like a man, is profiled in a "RAINBOW MINUTE" (produced by JUDD PROCTOR and BRIAN BURNS at the studios of WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by JON KLEIN).
    
- A singer and a slammer team up (excerpts from "On the Road With You" and "Queer Nation" from GOOD ASIAN DRIVERS' "DRIVE AWAY HOME"); the singer goes solo (the title track and "Extra" from MELISSA LI's "2 SECONDS AWAY"); and a gay rocker chimes in ("The Chaseable" and "Merge" from DYLAN RICE's "ELECTRIC GRIDS & CONCRETE TOWERS"). That's not a sitcom plot, it's this month's "AUDIOFILE" (with comments by the artists, hosted by JD DOYLE & CHRIS WILSON, written and produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM, and a "TWO" tip of the hat to 2009 Stonewall Society Pride in the Arts Lifetime Achievement in Music Award-winner JD Doyle/www.audiofile.org).
