SEGMENT #1 –  NewsWrap:  A panel of the European Court of Human Rights 
upholds French authorities' refusal to allow a gay man to adopt a child, but 
the US state of Florida's queer adoption ban is apparently the last straw for 
comedic actress, popular TV talk show host and sometime-Florida resident 
Rosie O'Donnell, who unequivocally outs herself by proclaiming "I'm a dyke!" 
at an Ovarian Cancer Research Fund benefit;  a Cumberland County, 
Pennsylvania court orders a lesbian non-biological co-parent to pay child 
support for the five children of her former partner;  the Erie County, 
Pennsylvania Council approves a bill to prohibit discrimination based on 
sexual orientation and gender identity;  a U.S. Senate committee hears 
supportive testimony for the re-introduced Employment Non-Discrimination Act 
(ENDA), while GLBT activists meet in their respective countries with 
Britain's Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith and Israeli Prime 
Minister Ariel Sharon;  Finland's new registered partnerships for lesbians & 
gays conferring most of the legal benefits of marriage goes into effect;  
another painful sodomy penalty based on Islamic law is handed down in a 
Sharia court in northern Nigeria;  Indian activists report a major police 
sweep on cruising areas in Hyderabad;  in South Africa, Western Cape Premier 
and former Cape Town Mayor Peter Marais draws the ire of activists with his 
bible-based anti-gay comments;  about a half-million spectators enjoy the 
24th annual Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade, where some 8,000 marchers 
ask the world to "Walk a Mile in Our Shoes";  and the British Academy of Film 
and Television Arts annual movie awards include an Academy Fellowship, 
BAFTA's highest honor, awarded to the gay team of producer Ismail Merchant 
and director James Ivory, with openly-gay actor/author Stephen Fry wittily 
hosting the televised festivities [written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks 
to BRIAN NUNES, GRAHAM UNDERHILL, JASON LIN, CHRIS AMBIDGE, REX WOCKNER, GREG 
GORDON & LUCIA CHAPPELLE, and anchored by BRIAN NUNES & CINDY FRIEDMAN] . . . 
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  10:35

SEGMENT #2 -   "Peter's P's" billboard (with intro tease) [:20]  +  There 
isn't much peace in the city of JERUSALEM, but there's a growing sense of 
pride within its queer community.  As This Way Out's ERAN CICUREL discovered, 
the burning issue in a recent gathering at the city's GLBT Open House was how 
it should express that pride in the midst of bitter conflict [includes 
comments by Jerusalem Open House Board Chair JERRY LEVINSON, Board Member 
HELENA KANETI and Executive Director HAGAI ELAD] (intro/outro music from 
"Israelisem" by ARMY OF LOVERS) [10:40]. . . . . . . . .  11:00

SEGMENT #3 -  "TWO" I.D. by openly-gay comic actor TERRY SWEENEY (as "Nancy 
Reagan") [:15]  +  In "Peter's P's", storyteller PETER DELL recalls a 
childhood brush with handwriting analysis that revealed a bit more than he 
wanted to know [produced by JON BEAUPRE and STEVE PRIDE] [4:30] . .   4:45
