Buffalo-area business owners receive threatening anti-gay hate mail: “No one is sure who sent the letter, which arrived in people’s mailboxes two weeks ago, but city human rights officials believe it may be linked to a recent weekly newspaper’s guide listing local businesses that support homosexual rights. Many of those same businesses received the letter criticizing their support of gays and lesbians, and threatening to boycott their business. ‘I was hurt. I was angry. I was afraid,’ said Michael Gillis, co-owner of Elmwood Framing and Interiors on Elmwood Avenue. ‘This is how I make my living.'”

Showtime developing series on “coming out”: “The project is titled ‘Way Out.’ In each episode, a closeted individual reveals their true sexual orientation during a group meeting. Showtime has ordered a pilot presentation from Bryn Freedman, a former journalist and executive producer of A&E’s ‘Intervention,’ as part of its effort to bolster its unscripted slate. ‘It’s a show that has universal appeal because everybody can relate to having part of their lives hidden,’ said Freedman, who is producing the project with Evan Weiss. ‘The show is all about getting to know the person — why they have been reluctant to come out and what it looks like to be living a lie, (and) what it is like when people are trying to set you up with dates.’…’Out’ will show the person’s closeted life, document the moment they reveal their orientation to friends and family, then chart how relationships are changed. Although still in the pilot stage, Showtime is enthusiastic about the project. Like the acclaimed ‘Intervention,’ which prompted controversy before its debut, Freedman expects that ‘Out’ could provoke strong reactions.”
