SEGMENT #1 -  NewsWrap:  Suspects each separately change their "mental 
defect" pleas in the Alabama Billy Jack Gaither and Wyoming Matthew Shepard 
gay-bashing murder cases;  U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential 
candidate Al Gore emphasizes hate crimes legislation in a visit to the Los 
Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center;  the state's GOP central committee endorses the 
rabidly-homophobic Oregon Citizen Alliance's proposed ballot initiative to 
prohibit public schools from "encouraging, promoting or sanctioning" 
homosexuality;  a total of 11 announced queer parliamentary candidates sets a 
new record in New Zealand;  Australian drag TV show host Tamara Tonite 
announces a serious candidacy for Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Queensland;  Labour 
pressures now openly-bisexual Welsh MP Ron Davies to resign;  the Employment 
Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is formally re-introduced in the U.S. Congress, 
though GOP leaders are likely to block a House floor vote;  Reverend Gene 
Robinson narrowly misses election in Rochester, New York to become the first 
openly-gay U.S. Episcopal bishop;  the General Assembly of the American 
Baptist Churches USA expels 4 California congregations for joining the 
queer-supportive Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists;  after 
grappling with ordination of sexually active gays and lesbians for over 20 
years, the Presbyterian Church USA General Assembly votes to continue "study 
and discussion" of the issue for another 2 years;  and the site of the 
Stonewall Inn in New York City is listed by the U.S. Department of the 
Interior on the National Register of Historic Places, the first such queer 
venue to be so designated  [written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM

SEGMENT #2 -  Billboard for "Down At Stonewall" (over instrumental beginning 
of Segment #2 intro music) [:10]  +  "IT'S ELEMENTARY: TALKING ABOUT GAY 
ISSUES IN SCHOOL" is an award-winning documentary that demonstrates effective 
methods for teaching tolerance in grade-school classrooms.  After making the 
rounds of film festivals and some educational programs, it's now being 
broadcast by some U.S. public television stations.  "It's Elementary" has so 
enraged the religious right that a few stations have also agreed to carry a 
"counter-program" produced by the infamous Donald Wildmon's American Family 
Association.  That video, "Suffer The Children," uses excerpts from "It's 
Elementary" in an attempt to prove that its main purpose is really homosexual 
recruitment and brainwashing.  This Way Out's CHRIS ALLEN has excerpts from 
"It's Elementary" and comments by producer HELEN COHEN to help *you* decide 
(intro/outro music from "Teach Your Children" by CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & 
YOUNG) [12:50] ............ 13:00

SEGMENT #3 - As the 30th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion is celebrated 
around the world -- and coincidentally, as several U.S. Christian 
denominations continue to grapple with the issue of homosexuality -- "DOWN AT 
STONEWALL", the opening cut from JALLEN RIX's wonderful CD "The Sacred And 
The Queer" seems especially appropriate (we've added a brief comment about 
Gay Pride by homophobic Operation Rescue founder RANDALL TERRY over the 
instrumental bridge) ................................. 3:30
