SEGMENT #1 -  NewsWrap: Japanese judges issue that country's first-ever

right-backed initiative;  the results of Norway's elections could threaten
lesbigay rights advances there;  Gianni Versace's will provides for his
partner of more than a decade Antonio D'Amico, but the bulk of the estate
goes to Versace's favorite niece;  as predicted, record stores from England
to Portugal to Cyprus can't keep up with the demand for copies of "Candle In
The Wind 1997", Elton John's fundraising musical tribute to the late Diana,
Princess of Wales;  AIDS statistics released in the U.S. this week show a
decrease in the number of new diagnoses -- particularly among gay men -- for
the first time since the disease was first identified, but the increasing
rate of heterosexual transmission, especially among Hispanics and Blacks,
continues to worry health officials;  several museum shops across Germany are
refusing to carry the new "he was gay" biography of literary giant Johann von
Goethe;  and Tel Aviv police recruit gays and lesbians to cruise the city's

SEGMENT #2 -  Billboard for Peter Dell's "Catch" feature [:05]  +  By most
any standard, Edmund White is surely among the pantheon of great writers who
happen to be gay or lesbian.  In this first of a 3-part conversation with
TWO's JON BEAUPRE, White reads from and discusses his latest novel, the
autobiographically-inspired "The Farewell Symphony", provides personal
reflections on the 3 cities that have figured most prominently in much of his
life and work -- Rome, New York City, and Paris -- and talks about his
work-in-progress biography of gay French writer Marcel Proust (intro/outro
music from "I Love Paris" performed by AL HIRT) [9:40]

SEGMENT #3 -  "TWO" I.D. produced at lesbigay Paris radio station Frequence
Gai [:20]  +  Small, personal family rituals may sometimes appear to be
trivial or insignificant, but they're often filled with meaning and
importance, helping us to define our lives and seal our relationships.  In
"Catch", Los Angeles-based writer PETER DELL reflects on how coming out to
his older brother was facilitated by one such ritual they've practiced for
years [production assistance by BRIAN HAMBURG] [4:30]
