Now I feel like a total heel. I completely misspoke on your show today. I thought I had sent an email back to you but in looking through my sent items I don't see one there. Loved the show today. Hope you didn't mind my "secret power of Rex" pic. So anyway, I am planning "at the latest" to be in SF between july 1-4. Thanks again for having me on your show.

tHe best of reX.'s ranTs!

Hi reX, I was wondering if there is anywhere I can download your show when your not live. I was on www.Gay.com and I found there gay radio page has saved files of all the gaybc shows, but yours.

I always end up missing one or the another of your shows. So it would be great to be able to play the ones I miss later in the day.

If you don't have a place maybe you could put them on www.freediskspace.com its free and you can store 300mb. You can share a folder on it as a url and all they have to do it sing up for a free account to play the files. If you really don't like that I would be happy to make a web site for it if you can provide the files..

a plea for help! . gay refugees!

Hi reX, I need YOU!!! No, no, no reX, not THAT way! ;) ;) On a serious note, I sincerely DO have a favor to ask of you however and it is of a rather IMPORTANT nature. It IS a matter of LIFE AND DEATH for two very close friends if mine. I do want to say that I AM NOT placing their lives into your hands BUT only that I believe in >>>strength in numbers<<< and hopefully with your program(s) on gayBC radio, we (ALL of our gay brothers and sisters within listening distance) can help my friends from the depths of despair and frustration that they find themselves in. Of all the places on earth, my friends are from Serbia/Bosnia and are also a gay couple who are DESPERATE to get out of that country. We in this country have all been witness to, especially within the past year on TV, newspapers and across the web, the devastation from politics and the horrors of war that so many people from that country have endured. My friends have had the fortunate experience of being born gay (and I DO BELIEVE that it is a gift) BUT the unfortunate experience of being born into the Yugoslav region of this world where there is not only so much chaos and war but also a place where a gay person or couple is in CONSTANT daily fear for their lives with every step that they take. I have shared with these two beautiful human beings, my friends........that although we do not have a perfect life here in the USA, I cannot imagine what life must be like for them to live (and many times die) in such an atmosphere of political chaos, ethnic problems and the added primitive attitudes towards people whose only crime is to LOVE someone of the same gender. At one point last summer, my friends were physically separated from each other by their families and had their lives threatened if they continued to see each other. No matter what part of the world we live in, we all know the power of LOVE and that it transcends ALL boundaries...........boundaries of gender as well as boundaries imposed by countries. My friends have gone to GREAT lengths to be together. They fled to Budapest, Hungary and have been held in limbo for almost 4 months now! They have been in constant contact with the United States embassy in Budapest as well as other agencies there. Thus far, they have encountered constant rudeness and the typical "red tape run-around" that our government agencies are so well known for. --- and I are trying to help them to come to the USA and to the safety of our home, so far without any luck. We naively thought that they would be in our arms LONG before this. I do understand that there are proper procedures to follow but I have ALSO encountered the rudeness and red tape of our government here that our friends have endured there and throughout these past 4 months we nor they have mentioned anything about their gayness for fear that they would suffer even more. I've been in touch with the INS as well as the embassy in Budapest with little success. My friends have RECENTLY discovered that they may have a better chance of emigrating to Canada where they are offered much less political and governmental bullshit........unlike the good ol' USA. They have been told by the Canadian embassy in Budapest that they will need a total of 5 people from Canada to act as their "Guarantors", people who will vouch for them and "sponsor" them. These are some words of my friends from there last e-mail (March 14, 2000) to us:

> There is a procedure for refugees to get the Canadian permanent > residence ("Landid Immigrant" in Canadian terms) in > six to eight months. With that permit it is possible > to travel to the USA without any problem. > What we need is a group of five employed adults, > Canadian citizens, who will be our guarantors. So, they > have to fill the forms in the Canadian Immigrational > National Service (INS), in which they should agree to > support us to come to Canada, and first year of our > stay there. These FIVE persons can guarantee to BOTH > of us, (-----) and me, if they earn more than 1000 > Canadian Dollars per month. > When they fill those papers, the Canadian Embassy in > Vienna in Austria will send their papers for us here > in Budapest, we will fill them, and the procedure > begins. It lasts for six months. After five months we > go on an interview in Vienna, after which in two > months (maximum) we receive Canadian Residence Permit > (Landed Immigrant papers), and we are FREE to come to > Canada. The United States after all that won't be a > problem at all. > That procedure is VERY safe. We asked for it, and > everyone who had such five people (guarantors), wasn't > rejected from the procedure, so more than 95% of > people come to Canada. > What you need to do is to find some friends, cousins > or anyone that you know in Canada, and you should be > in good relations with people, so they want to help > you and us. Ask through your family is there any > friend, cousin or someone like that who lives in > Canada. When you find a Canadian citizen, he or she > can help finding more four people, so they could make > the "Group of Five Individuals." The most important > thing is that everyone should be from the same > Canadian province, but could be from different cities. > Toronto is the closest, ((to ----- and myself here in Pennsylvania)) and, for example, the best > would be if they are from province Ontario. But that > province is not a must, of course.

reX, I have gone to great lengths and had MANY sleepless nights trying to think of a way to help my friends into the safety and security of not only our country but also our home. I have been in contact with ----- and ----- for almost 2 years now and know them better than I know my own neighbors. I trust them and I love them. I need 5 people from Canada who are willing to go out of their way as I have been trying to do on my own. It is mainly a matter of procedure and some paperwork but they will also have a period of 5 or 6 months to get to know my friends and love these two souls as ----- and I do. ----- and ----- are not only MY friends but they are also OUR brothers and they REALLY need help. As my friends, I WANT to help my them to begin a new life no matter if in Canada or here with ----- and I. They are not just 2 figments of my imagination but ARE two scared and confused men waiting at this moment........day after day, with so many delays, already in a country that is foreign to them. Can you help us? Can your listeners help us. If you can do a program on gay people or couples who have been refugees along with their own stories or ANY suggestions and how to help our friends and ESPECIALLY any Canadian brothers or sisters who might offer their kindness, their hearts and their assistance............

pLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. hopefully IF YOU CAN do a program and ask for help, please do not announce ----- and -----'s names on the air. This can be a small world which can sometimes be almost as frustrating as a large impersonal world............and I do not want to risk causing any additional problems for them. If we can together find 5 people from Canada who are willing to help, I will gladly share my e-mail and any information as well as a phone number and e-mail where ----- and ----- can be reached in Budapest (with their permission of course). Although it is a 6 hour time difference in Budapest (from the east coast USA), maybe they could even personally share their story over the air with you and your listeners? Sorry for such a lengthy letter but this is SO important to me........as it SHOULD be. sINCERELY,

voTe in vermont!

Dear Vote.com voter,

Last Thursday, the Vermont House of Representatives passed a bill that would recognize same-sex "civil unions" in the state. The measure would allow gay couples to receive all the legal benefits of married couples, but preserves the term "marriage" solely for unions between a man and a woman.

Should this bill be signed into law? Vote.com is now holding an online referendum asking YOU that very question. All votes will be sent to Vermont Governor Howard Dean.

The fate of this bill will help shape the future of same-sex unions across America. If you have a point of view on this issue, we encourage you to log on and make your vote count at http://www.vote.com.

Hey Rex: I read your horror-scope today and saw that you lost some stuff due to a fire in your apartment building. And you were gonna have to go shopping, which you hate. But the fire occurred in someone else's apartment. Correct? If the fire started in a neighbor's apartment and caused damage to your possessions, did you know you can be reimbursed for those damages? Ever wonder how America works? It's really very interesting. And also very exciting.
