The significance of that event was not lost on Great Britain's weekly lesbian and gay radio program "Out This Week". REBECCA SANDLES and DAVID COOK explore the issue of Church-sanctioned same-gender wedding ceremonies via interviews with one member of a same-gender couple, various Church of England clergy including Reverends MALCOLM JOHNSON, CHRISTINA SUMNER, MICHAEL PEETE and Bishop PETER COLEMAN, and "Economist" editor BILL EMMETT [8:20] .............................................................................. .. 8:40 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by Moscow-based Russian gay activist Roman Kalinin [:20] + British-born ANDREW SULLIVAN's 1991 promotion to Editor-In-Chief of "The New Republic" caused quite a stir, with devotees of the traditionally-conservative U.S. opinion weekly wondering whether someone so young -- and so gay -- could maintain the magazine's political and intellectual reputation. What has really put Sullivan on the map, however, was the recent publication of "VIRTUALLY NORMAL: AN ARGUMENT ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY". In the first of a multi-part feature interview, TWO's JON BEAUPRE talks with Sullivan about the thesis of his book [with production assistance from CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM] [6:05] ........................................ 6:25 CLOSING CREDITS/CONTINUITY ...................................................... 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME ........................................................................ 28:45 -------------------Please note------------------ Anyone with questions, suggestions, or NEWS stories is encouraged to email "T.W.O."
