SEGMENT #1 ­  NewsWrap:  California becomes the first of the United  States to 
require businesses contracting with the state to extend benefits to the 
domestic partners of their unmarried employees equal to those provided for married 
employees' spouses;  observance of the religious right sponsored "Marriage 
Protection Week" in the U.S. appears limited to church sermons and Christian 
media, and seems to focus more on homosexuality than on more direct 
marriage-related issues such as divorce and domestic violence, while queer groups and their 
allies respond to the "Week" in both direct and fanciful ways;  an emergency 
meeting of the global Anglican Communion in London fueled by a Canadian diocese 
blessing same gender relationships and the U.S. Episcopal bishopric election 
of openly gay partnered Gene Robinson doesn't come close to resolving the 
deeply-divisive issues [with brief comments by Anglican "first among equals" 
ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY ROWAN WILLIAMS];  a bill covering a wide range of reforms 
toward gay & lesbian equality is introduced in the Parliament of Australia's 
Northern Territory, while the European Union membership-bound government of 
Malta issues a directive creating new protections from job discrimination based 
on sexual orientation;  and in Britain, your game piece can land on "Brighton 
Pride" in a new special edition of Monopoly [written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with 
thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, REX WOCKNER, FENCEBERRY, CAITLIN PERRY and GREG 
GORDON, and anchored this week by CINDY FRIEDMAN & CHRISTOPHER GAAL] [10:20]  +  
Billboard for "Girls Will Be Girls" (over "NewsWrap" outro music) [:10]. . . .

SEGMENT # 2 -  Historical and social context can make all the difference in 
analyzing the ISLAMIC view of homosexuality.  In the first part of our special 
feature on Islam and the lesbigay community ["TWO" #810, 10-6-03], DR. JAMES 
WAFER argued that now that the Muslim world has replaced the Soviet Union as 
capitalism's global counterpart, a new era of Islamic thought may be on the 
horizon.  An Australia-based gay social anthropologist and former Muslim convert, 
Wafer contributed two articles to the anthology "Islamic Homosexualities: 
Culture, History and Literature," edited by Stephen O. Murray and Will Roscoe [New 
York University Press].  As his conversation with This Way Out correspondent 
MICHAEL SCHEMBRI [2SER-FM/Sydney's "Gaywaves"] concludes, Wafer says there's 
hope for a return to Islam's historic tolerance (with intro music from "A Call 
To Prayer" by OMAR FARUK TEKBILEK). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

SEGMENT #3 -  "TWO" I.D./"support public radio" by iconic openly lesbian 
singer/songwriter JANIS IAN [:10] + Support "TWO" promo [:45] . . .    :55


SEGMENT #4 -  International film festival favorite "GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS" has 
been hailed as the best 79 minute drag comedy of the last few months, and it 
may soon be coming to a multiplex near you.  Some critics have said that its 
story is two-dimensional and vulgar, and that its characters are acid-tongued, 
shallow, and bitchy -- and of course they are absolutely right!  This Way Out's 
very own private dick STEVE PRIDE meets with the film's writer/director 
RICHARD DAY and visits its trio of stars, COCO PERU (Clinton Leupp), EVIE HARRIS 
(Jack Plotnick) and VARLA JEAN MERMAN (Jeffery Roberson) to separate the 
movie-making men from the "Girls" (includes a clip and music from the flick). . . . .
