In the face of that backlash, activists are stressing the hopeful signs for future gains -- not the least of which is the approach of the big day in Vermont, July 1st, when the first "civil unions" will be performed. That was the theme of a Millennium March on Washington rally speech by openly-gay actor MITCHELL ANDERSON, probably best known for his continuing role on the popular TV show "Party of Five" [4:15] . . . . . . >. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4:25 SEGMENT #3 - The true test of how the public will handle legally recognized lesbian and gay couples will be in Vermont, and key players in the lawsuit that led to the enactment of "civil unions" shared their accomplishments and future aspirations at the Millennium March.
