Bush and increased Republican Party control of both the U.S. House and Senate; voters in all 11 states where the issue was on the ballot approve amendments to their constitutions to ban marriages of same gender couples, but most of the measures go even further to deny any legal recognition of them, and at least some of those will be challenged in court; however, voters in Cincinnati, Ohio repeal the city's notorious Issue 3 that had prohibited enactment of any legislation to protect gay and lesbian civil rights, and scores of openly-lesbian and -gay candidates are elected to federal, state and local offices, many in the same states that overwhelmingly approved anti-marriage amendments; Saskatchewan becomes the 7th Canadian province or territory to open marriage to same gender couples; and disaffected queer couples are among the record-smashing tens of thousands of U.S. visits to Canada's immigration Web site on the day of Bush's victory speech (written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, REX WOCKNER, and GREG GORDON, and reported this week by CINDY FRIEDMAN & JON BEAUPRE) . . . . . . 14:00 SEGMENT #2 - In a "morning after" media teleconference, President CHERYL JACQUES and Political Director WINNIE STACHELBERG of the HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN, the country's largest queer advocacy group, analyze the November 2nd U.S. elections, dispute the assertion that "moral issues" drove the Bush victory and passage of state anti-marriage amendments, and assess the prospects for passage of queer-relevant legislation during the next Congressional session, especially the so-called Federal Marriage Amendment in the U.S. Senate. Also: REV. JERRY FALWELL briefly describes the religious right's primary political agenda during the second Bush administration, and SAN FRANCISCO Mayor GAVIN NEWSOM responds to charges made by some media pundits, and even a few fellow Democrats, that his authorizing gay and lesbian weddings in the city earlier this year fomented the defeat of presidential candidate John Kerry and passage of state amendments banning same gender marriage (with thanks to BRYAN GOEBEL, produced and reported by GREG GORDON). . . . . . . . . . . 12:35 Closing continuity/credits . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:15 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:50 ==================================== * ================================ STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," U.S. ELECTIONS HAVE BLUE ACTIVISTS SEEING RED, AND STATE BALLOT BOXES SLAM THE LID ON MARRIAGE EQUALITY, BUT QUEER CANDIDATES SURVIVE THE REPUBLICAN RAMPAGE...
