SEGMENT #1 -  NewsWrap:  The Danish Parliament passes protections from sexual

 openly-lesbian Seattle City Councilmember Tina Podlowdowski resigns as
Washington state Clinton re-election campaign co-chair because of the
President's stated willingness to sign DOMA into law;  more U.S. states
establish (Illinois, with Michigan likely to be next) and consider (Indiana
and North Carolina) laws against same-gender marriage, and a rightwing group
gets the okay to circulate petititions for a ballot measure against
same-gender marriage in Maine;  France's national railroad extends spousal
discounts to lesbigay couples who have registered their relationships, and
South Africa extends travel benefits to same-gender spouses (and significant
others) of its members of Parliament, but a New Zealand High Court judge
rules against lesbian couples seeking marriage licenses there;  an explosion
and fire destroys a popular gay bar in Ottowa, Canada, while patrons of a
popular gay bar in Tijuana, Mexico are increasingly becoming victims of
violence;  The Log Cabin Republicans of Texas are suing the state's
Republican Party for excluding them from its annual convention;  and actress
Sharon Stone tells "The Advocate" that she'd rather have sex with Candace
Gingrich than with Candace's half-brother Newt, because "at least she's sure
of her sexuality."  [compiled and written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to
BRIAN NUNES, JASON LIN, BILL STOSINE, GREG GORDON, RON BUCKMIRE, REX WOCKNER,
MARK PROFFIT and BJORN SKOLANDER, and anchored by BRIAN NUNES and CINDY
FRIEDMAN] ....................................... 10:05

SEGMENT #2 - Billboard for McKellan interview [:10]  +  Lots of activists
will tell you that the real "movement" in the lesbigay rights movement is
happening in the workplace.  While legislative battles are often bogged down
in homophobic invective, U.S. corporations in particular are recognizing the
advantages of practicing policies of inclusion.  "Straight Talk About Gays In
The Workplace", published by The American Management Association, is a
handbook on how active nondiscrimination makes for better business.  The
authors, diversity consultants and Advocate columnists LIZ WINFELD and SUSAN
SPEILMAN talk with MARY BRESLAUER and KEITH ORR [from WFNX/Boston's "One In
Ten"] about this fast-growing area of lesbigay rights activism (intro music
from "Hi Ho", from Disney's "Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs") [7:50] ....
 8:00

SEGMENT #3 -  "TWO" I.D. by gay singer/songwriter Jeff Krassner (with an
excerpt from his "Strong For You") [:20]  +  The critics are anything but
"discontent" about the current film version of Shakespeare's "Richard III",
starring SIR IAN McKELLAN, who also adapted the screenplay.  On the occasion
of the U.K. release of "Richard III", REBECCA SANDLES [from BBC Radio 5
Live's "Out This Week"] talks with Sir Ian about his movie, his enhanced
popularity in Hollywood as an openly-gay actor, and his political activism in
support of lesbigay rights (outro music from "An Actor's Life For Me", from
Disney's Pinocchio) [7:40]
