Bush "sanctifies"" hetero-only marriage in his January 20th State of the Union address [hear his complete remarks on the subject], prompting huzzahs from religious right groups and condemnation by queer advocacy organizations; while U.S. polls have been charting increased opposition to legal recognition of same gender couples since the Supreme Court's June sodomy ruling, only 40% support codifying that in a Constitutional amendment, but that doesn't stop 80% of Virginia's House of Delegates' passage of a resolution in support of one; Bush's remarks spur GOP lawmakers to introduce new or more restrictive measures against queer unions in several states, while Ohio passes the most far-reaching state legislation yet prohibiting any legal recognition of queer couples; a German judge rules his country's registered partnerships less than equal to marriage when it comes to "income splitting," and Canada's new Paul Martin-led Liberal Party government appeals December's sweeping court ruling extending pension benefits to the surviving partners of gay & lesbian couples, but the head of Britain's Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority urges greater access to fertility services for unmarried women and lesbian couples; and the new president of the world famous New Year's Day Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California announces the 2005 theme will be "Celebrate Family," and tells a local newspaper that that includes same gender couples and their children [written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, FENCEBERRY, REX WOCKNER and GREG GORDON, and anchored this week by RICK WATTS & CINDY FRIEDMAN] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10:25 SEGMENT #2 - An "Angels in America" sweep (Best TV mini-series or movie and awards for all of its supporting and lead actors) and winner MERYL STREEP's rebuttal of George W.

Representatives of nine parishes attempted to cut ties with the diocese by forming a breakaway group of churches following that vote, and a committee of the House of Bishops continues to work toward a resolution of the conflict. NEW WESTMINISTER BISHOP MICHAEL INGHAM, who authorized the blessing of same gender unions two years ago, remains surprisingly cool as he sits on the hot seat. He talks with This Way Out's HEATHER KITCHING ["Queer FM"/CITR-Vancouver] about the convictions that drive him [the first of a 2-part interview to conclude next week] (with intro music from Ingham's congregational home CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL CHOIR) [8:45] . . . . . 8:55 SEGMENT #4 - A splashy "TWO" I.D. by openly gay Olympics diving champ GREG LOUGANIS [:10] + A "solid Gold" musical mix of soul and more (ARI GOLD's "Space Under Sun"), a "curt" pop sound with a folky label (CATIE CURTIS' "Acoustic Valentine"), and a duo's double album that gets a little bluesy (HALCYON's "Plugged, Stripped Down and Live") heat up this month's visit to the "AUDIOFILE" [with comments by the artists about their music, hosted by CHRIS WILSON & JD DOYLE and produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM] [6:45]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6:55 = artist contact info = ARI GOLD CATIE CURTIS HALCYON 500B Grand St. #11F c/o Fitzgerald Hartley Co c/o Deb Hunseder New York, N.Y. 10002 34 N.
