Opening Teases/Theme Music/Intro Continuity . . . . . . . . . . . .   1:20

SEGMENT #1 –  NewsWrap:  Queer weddings make news in Hong Kong and in 
mainland China, while Taiwan quietly considers same gender couples rights;  
Colorado moves to outlaw "non-traditional" birth certificates, but Con
necticut may consider establishing domestic partnership contracts, 
while Louisiana's Supreme Court upholds the state's antiquated sodomy law;  
Alaska Governor Tony Knowles issues an administrative order prohibiting 
sexual orientation discrimination in state employment, while Washington 
Governor Gary Locke signs a strong anti-homophobia school bullying bill into 
law, while the landmark criminal harassment conviction of a British Columbia 
teen in the suicide death of her classmate furthers anti-homophobia bullying 
efforts there;  a successful but scaled-down HERO in Auckland, New Zealand is 
good news for future celebrations, but fire code violations and the current 
owner's inability to fund necessary repairs forces the closure of a 
pre-Stonewall era landmark in Buffalo, New York, the Bull Mastiff bathhouse, 
long known as Morgan's New Sauna, which opened in 1892;  and science 
definitively confirms Irish patriot Sir Roger Casement's place in queer 
history [written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, BRIAN 
NUNES, JASON LIN, CHRIS AMBIDGE, REX WOCKNER, GREG GORDON & LUCIA CHAPPELLE, 
and anchored by DEAN ELZINGA & CINDY FRIEDMAN] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .   9:30

SEGMENT #2 -  "Kissing Jessica Stein" billboard (with a brief lift from the 
film) [:10]  +  The growing and dynamic queer liberation movements in the 
Third World have their own unique national and regional histories, challenges 
and developing identities.  PETER DRUCKER, a longtime socialist and U.S. gay 
campaigner based in the Netherlands, has edited an anthology of essays by 
several Third World activists called "DIFFERENT RAINBOWS" (Gay Men's Press).  
In the first of a 3-part conversation, This Way Out correspondent MICHAEL 
SCHEMBRI [2SER-FM/Sydney's "Gaywaves"] chats with Drucker about the influence 
of globalization and the West on Third World queer movements, and what the 
West can learn from them [7:35] . . .   7:45
 [next time: models of successful Third World queer liberation movements
                      and the hazards of theocracy]

SEGMENT #3 -  "TWO" I.D. by award-winning lesbian writer DOROTHY ALLISON 
[:10]  +  Our STEVE PRIDE raves that the wide-release romantic comedy 
"KISSING JESSICA STEIN" is a fabulous big screen lesbian lick lock.  He has 
some entertaining clips from one of the best-reviewed queer movies of the 
year, and chats with the talented trio behind the film, openly-gay director 
CHARLES HERMAN-WURMFELD and his two heterosexual producers/stars, JENNIFER 
WESTFELDT (Jessica) and HEATHER JUERGENSEN (Helen) (intro/outro music from "I 
Kissed A Girl" by JILL SOBULE) [8:45]. . . . . . . . . . . . . .   8:55
