SEGMENT #1 -  NewsWrap:  A rabbinical death sentence for homosexuals espoused

Israel denies it's discouraging gay and lesbian Jews from moving there;
 Zimbabwe journalists defend the homophobic statements of their president
Robert Mugabe at a Southern Africa media conference;  openly-gay Australian

willingness of some of his fellow Liberal Party members to address the issue;
 Washington joins South Dakota and California with the introduction of a bill
in the state legislature to prohibit recognition of same-gender marriages;
 the American Civil Liberties Union files suit against the University of
Pittsburgh charging the institution's refusal to grant same-gender spousal
benefits to its employees violates the city of Pittsburgh's Human Rights
Ordinance, while in the same city, Lambda Alums of Carnegie Mellon University
is urging people to not donate to the school until it grants full spousal

anti-discrimination policy does not extend to granting spousal benefits to
unmarried couples, whether heterosexual or same-gender;  in Canada this week,

SEGMENT #2 -  House Speaker Newt Gingrich's openly-lesbian sister Candace had
a small role on this week's much- ballyhooed "lesbian wedding" episode of the
top-rated U.S. TV sitcom "FRIENDS".  We have excerpts from the show, which
the Traditional Values Coalition called "shocking, appalling [and]
disgusting";  a comment from MARTA KAUFMAN, one of the Executive Producers of
"Friends";  and sample the extensive media coverage surrounding this
broadcast (includes a musical excerpt from "They Don't Want To See Us" by TOM
WILSON-WEINBERG; outro music from the "Friends" opening credits theme by THE
REMBRANDTS) ............................................  5:25

SEGMENT #3 -  A "Support This Way Out" message from WILLIAM WAYBOURN, Nat'l
Executive Director of GLAAD - The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation
(with music from "It's Money That Matters" by RANDY NEWMAN) [1:10] + TWO I.D.
by comic actor TERRY SWEENEY as "Nancy Reagan" [:15] .....  1:25

SEGMENT #4 -  A recently-published book called "A Manager's Guide To Sexual
Orientation In The Workplace", co-authored by Bob Powers and ALAN ELLIS,
responds to both the trend towards coming out on the job and the new wave of
workforce diversity awareness training.  In the second of a 2-part feature
interview, Ellis talks with TWO's JOSY CATOGGIO about making corporate
diversity policies known during the job interview, dealing with resistant
employees, and the pluses and minuses of coming out on the job (intro/outro
music from "Hi Ho" from Disney's "Snow White & The 7 Dwarves") ........  8:55
