TRUTH TO TELL

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25: SEXUAL VIOLENCE & OFFENDERS
Part I: REPRESSION DRIVEN?

KFAI Radio, 90.3 Minneapolis /106.7 St. Paul / <email obscured>
A CivicMedia/Minnesota production

What DON¹T we know about sex and sexual violence? This will be Part One of a
series getting at the biological, emotional and political conflicts around
attitudes and policies towards sex and sexual behavior.

Sexuality in American society is always the hot topic, but is it deserving
of the attention? And is the kind of attention it¹s getting keeping it the
forbidden fruit everyone wants to pluck from the tree? Is its forbidden
nature driving repression, sexual violence and the politics of lifetime
incarceration? What is so tempting about throwing away the key?

Also: Has religion defined sexual repression here and elsewhere? Europeans
bemusedly ignore Catholicism¹s renewed crackdown down on sexual freedom,
while local clerics insist on excising all remnants of Gay and Lesbian
Catholicism from local churches. A special news moment on TTT will ask some
questions about Archbishop Nienstadt¹s erasure of St. Joan of Arc¹s annual
Gay Pride celebration.
