SEGMENT #1 –  NewsWrap:  The parliament of the Brazilian state of Minas 
Gerais gives final approval to a strong civil rights bill barring 
discrimination against and harassment of gays & lesbians, while a bill 
establishing sexual orientation and gender identity anti-discrimination 
protections advances in the Philippines, but the Constituent Assembly in the 
emerging nation of East Timor specifically excludes lesbians & gays from prot
ections in its draft constitution, and Roman Catholic bishops across the 
Caribbean protest a Jamaican government committee's recommended repeal of 
that nation's sodomy law;  in Egypt, the one minor convicted of "debauchery" 
in the notorious May police raid of a gay-friendly Cairo riverboat club has 
his sentence reduced on appeal, but another court sentences two Cairo college 
students to a year in jail for offering gay sex for money on a Web site;  
Saudi Arabia beheads 3 men for violating the country's Islamic law by 
"engaging in the extreme obscenity and ugly acts of homosexuality";  in a 
rare court case of same-gender sexual harassment in the southern Chinese 
state of Hainan, a businessman is ordered to pay token reparations and 
apologize to his 3 migrant worker victims;  the U.S. Army joins the Air Force 
and Navy in issuing a "stop loss" order to suspend most administrative 
discharges during the current military action in Afghanistan, but like the 
other services, will continue discharges of gays & lesbians under the "Don't 
Ask Don't Tell" policy as usual;  the decade-old Washington, DC domestic 
partners ordinance can finally take effect with the signature by President 
Bush of that city's annual spending bill, but gay & lesbian federal workers 
are denied health care benefits for their domestic partners, and the U.S. 
Justice Department decides that financial relief for surviving partners of 
lesbian & gay victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks should be 
determined by individual state probate laws;  Massachusetts Republican Acting 
Governor Jane Swift picks an openly-gay staffmember, former state 
Representative and Melrose mayor Patrick Guerriero, as her Lieutenant 
Governor running mate, while in Norway, openly-gay Conservative M.P. 
Per-Kristian Foss is appointed Minister of Finance, the third-highest post in 
the nation;  debt from previous events forces a scaled-back HERO parade in 
Auckland, New Zealand, while the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras gets 
debt-relief help from the state of New South Wales;  JOY Melbourne becomes 
Australia's first gay & lesbian radio station to win a full-time broadcast 
license;  Lance Loud, who made US television history by coming out to his 
parents on camera during the landmark 1973 PBS series "An American Family", 
dies from complications of AIDS at the age of 50, while a heart attack claims 
openly-gay Oscar-nominated British actor Nigel Hawthorne ("The Madness of 
King George"), best known in the UK for his role in the popular TV series 
"Yes, Minister", at the age of 72;  BAFTA-winning openly-lesbian character 
actress Miriam Margolyes appears on the annual New Year's honors list to 
receive the Order of the British Empire;  and New Zealanders can now use the 
mail to "lick the backside" of openly-gay British actor and activist Sir Ian 
McKellen [written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, JASON 
LIN, BRIAN NUNES, CHRIS AMBIDGE, REX WOCKNER, GREG GORDON & LUCIA CHAPPELLE,

SEGMENT #3 -  Jane Ward/Queer History billboard over instrumental intro of 
"Déjà Vu"* [:30]  +  In MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, where Anita Bryant helped 
launch organized homophobia in 1977, people may have a chance to decide once 
again if the area's Human Rights Ordinance should include sexual orientation 
as a protected class.  The question is scheduled to go before the voters in 
September, but as This Way Out's SUSAN GAGE discovers, supporters of the 
ordinance are challenging the validity of petitions that placed the measure 
on the ballot, hoping to prevent the kind of divisive campaign some of them 
remember all too well (*intro+outro/transition music from "Déjà Vu" by 
CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG) [5:35]  +  "TWO" I.D. over outro/transition 
music by Russian gay activist ROMAN KALININ [:10].   6:15

SEGMENT #4 -  "Not knowing our queer history is dangerous, especially if it 
leads us to a false sense of security about the state of the LGBT movement."  
So says lesbian historian JANE WARD, a Los Angeles activist who has taught 
courses in lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender history and social movements at 
the University of California, Santa Barbara.  Like Georges Santayana, Ward 
believes that "those who do not remember history are condemned to repeat it," 
and she shares her knowledge of the past as a way to analyze the present
