In late September the scientist, educator, retired army colonel and gay activist was appointed by the leftist Meretz Party to fill out the remaining term of a retiring member of the Knesset, which will make him the first "out" member of ISRAEL's parliament. Nearly a decade ago Even appeared before that body to describe how coming out ended his military career. That testimony was instrumental in eliminating discrimination against gays & lesbians in the Israeli armed forces. Now, as he's about to take his own seat in the Knesset, Even talks with This Way Out correspondent ERAN CICUREL in Tel Aviv about the media frenzy that accompanied his appointment, reaction by the outspokenly anti-queer Orthodox religious community there, and the significance of his new role in Israel's public life [7:10] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:35 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by openly lesbian Irish singing duo ZRAZY (with an excerpt from their "Come Out, Everybody") [:25] + Mix an Agatha Christie-style drawing room murder mystery with a cheesy 1960s musical. Stir in eight equal parts for France's finest actresses, and add the decidedly queer sensibilities of openly gay director FRANCOIS OZON ("Sitcom", "Under the Sand").

Let bake for 110 minutes, and serve the resulting confection, "8 WOMEN", on a silver... screen.
