In this concluding Part 2, Atadero focuses on the issue of identity, which is a major factor in PROGAY's organizing strategy. He discusses how ideas about "identity" in the Philippines vary from Western concepts, and the economic distinctions that separate transgender or "bakla"-identified Filipinos and those who identify as gay [produced by MICHAEL SCHEMBRI/2SER-FM Sydney's "Gaywaves"].(about 7:00) * The Winter Olympics are reminding the world of the role of sports in promoting tolerance and good will. CYD ZEIGLER and Jim Buzinski tapped into the fascination with athletics that's alive and well in the lesbigay community when they created OUTSPORTS.COM. It's an online forum for fans and players alike, covering everything from local queer leagues to mainstream professional sports -- and it has lots of people cheering, including "This Way Out" correspondent RITA GONZALEZ.(about 8:00)
