SEGMENT #1 -  NewsWrap: Fiji's formerly supportive Opposition flip-flops on 
lesbigay rights now that they're in power;  accused Soho nail-bomber David 
Copeland pleads diminished responsibility and to less than murder;  the 
horrific beating death of "Brazil's Matthew Shepard", Edson Neris da Silva,

part of the attempted first degree murder charges filed against a man who 
allegedly shouted "Jesus hates fags" as he stabbed a gay University of 
Arizona student earlier this month;  Canada's legislation to elevate same 
gender couples to the legal status of unmarried heterosexual couples passes 
one parliamentary hurdle and moves to the hearings stage;  South Dakota and 
Colorado legislate against same gender marriages that don't exist;  
Republican presidential candidate John McCain begins campaigning in 
California by announcing his support for the so-called Knight Initiative, the 
anti-marriage Proposition 22, while Vermont's Judiciary Committee continues 
to draft a politically-acceptable domestic partnership bill to give that 
state's same-gender couples equal marriage rights in all but name;  Utah and 
Missouri move against unmarried fostering or adoption;  Maine moves to put 
rights on the ballot in November, but Ferndale, Michigan voters repeal 
theirs;  and 2 students persevere in the face of protest to establish a Gay 
Straight Alliance at their Baton Rouge, Louisiana high school  [written by

SEGMENT #2 -  Mardi Gras Launch billboard [:10]  +  "HOSTILE CLIMATE 1999" is 
the latest edition of the PEOPLE FOR THE AMERICAN WAY FOUNDATION's annual 
report on anti-lesbian and gay discrimination.  As state legislative sessions 
got under way in January, the Foundation launched an aggressive campaign to 
have regional activists hand-deliver the publication to their 
representatives.  The report chronicles nearly 300 incidents in 47 states -- 
almost twice the number in the 1998 edition.  Despite the sobering increase 
in documented incidents, there's progress on several fronts, according to the 
People For the American Way Foundation's new President RALPH G. NEAS.  Before 
taking that post, he was for two decades the Executive Director of the 
Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.  Neas talks about "Hostile Climate", 
and the political and educational challenges ahead for the LGBT community, 
with This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE (intro/outro music from "Freedom To Love" by 
FAITH NOLAN) [9:55] . . . . . . . .  10:05
        ("Hostile Climate 1999" is online at www.HostileClimate.org)

SEGMENT #3 -  "TWO" I.D. by lesbian singing/songwriting duo ZRAZY (with a 
brief excerpt from their "Come Out Everybody") [:25]  +  About 30,000 people 
attended the launch of this year's SYDNEY GAY & LESBIAN MARDI GRAS FESTIVAL 
on the steps of the Sydney Opera House on February 11th, and This Way Out's 
GREG READING was on hand to record the celebration.  Among the memorable 
moments were the keynote speech by the world's first openly transsexual 
Member of Parliament, New Zealand's GEORGINA BEYER -- who's introduced by 
Launch co-host JULIE McCROSSIN -- and co-host BOB DOWNE singing along to 
"I'll Still Call Australia Home" with the SYDNEY GAY & LESBIAN QUIRE [5:45].
