while Poland's newly-approved constitution specifically bans same-gender
marriage;  activists in Australia are protesting a cut in immigration quotas
for gay and lesbian couples, while officials in two Canadian provinces
(Ontario and Quebec) take steps toward greater recognition of same-gender
couples;  more than half of the U.S.'s 50 states will have banned same-gender

anti-marriage measure become law without his signature, and the anticipated
signatures of similar legislation in their states by Colorado's and
Minnesota's governors in the coming week;  a federal appeals court upholds

SEGMENT #2 -  IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO IN DADE:  On June 7, 1977 voters repealed
the Dade County, Florida ordinance that protected gays and lesbians from
discrimination.  It was the first full scale battle in the U.S. between the
burgeoning religious right and a politically-naive gay & lesbian community,
and the first to get the attention of the national -- even international --
mainstream media.  Former beauty queen, pop singer and Florida Orange Juice
spokesperson Anita Bryant led the repeal effort, warning that homosexuals
couldn't reproduce so they had to recruit youngsters into their immoral
lifestyle.  Many incredulous gays and lesbians couldn't understand how anyone
would believe that line of reasoning, but were shocked out of their closets
by the over 2-to-1 majority voting for repeal, taking to the streets to
protest in several cities in the days following "Orange Tuesday".  TWO's
LUCIA CHAPPELLE and GREG GORDON use archival sound to chart the early days of
a battle that continues to this day (includes music performed by ANITA
BRYANT, ROD McKUEN and MARY WATKINS)

SEGMENT #3 -  "PERFECT ENEMIES: THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT, THE GAY MOVEMENT AND THE
POLITICS OF THE 1990's" examines the sometimes striking similarities that
have characterized these two political opponents since the mid-1970's, and
suggests that the rhetoric needs to be turned down on both sides before any
reasonable dialog can occur.  In the first of a 3-part feature interview,
TWO's JOSY CATOGGIO talks with co-author CHRIS BULL (intro/outro music from
"Save Our Children/ Recruiter's Fight Song" by TOM WILSON-WEINBERG)
