SEGMENT #1 -  "NewsWrap":  The death of Roman Catholic Pope John Paul II 
after a 26-year reign leaves a strikingly anti-queer legacy and little hope for 
change in the near future;  about 100 men arrested at an alleged "gay wedding" 
in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in March are sentenced under that country's Islamic 
Sharia law to various prison terms and in some cases severe floggings for 
"deviant sexual behavior", while in Fiji an Australian tourist and his Fijian sex 
partner get two-year jail terms for violating that country's "unnatural act" and 
"indecent practice" laws;  Kansas voters overwhelmingly make that state the 
18th in the U.S. to approve a constitutional amendment denying marriage to same 
gender couples, and to also ban legal recognition of any relationships other 
than heterosexual marriage, but bills establishing some form of legal 
recognition to gay & lesbian couples advance in Connecticut and Maryland, and measures 
to protect transgenders from employment discrimination and GLBTs from housing 
discrimination advance in Hawaii;  the U.K. Appeal Court supports the parental 
rights of a non-biological lesbian mother and orders joint child custody in a 
first-ever ruling in a case of that kind;  and New Jersey Governor James 
McGreevey's August revelation that he is a "gay American" and subsequent 
resignation amidst a sex scandal may not have been a triumph for queer equality, but 
coverage of those events by the "Newark Star-Ledger" earns that newspaper a 
Pulitzer Prize (written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to Graham Underhill, Rex 
Wockner, Martin Rice and Greg Gordon, and reported this week by CHRISTOPHER GAAL 
& CINDY FRIEDMAN) [10:25]  +  RuPaul/"Red Hot" billboard [:10] . . . . . .  
10:35


SEGMENT #2 -  As an 11-minute "adolescent," ANGELA ROBINSON's "D.E.B.S." 
premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival and wowed gay & lesbian film 
festivals around the world.  The "grown up" 90-minute comedy featuring the lesbian 
love affair of a secret agent and her nemesis made its bow at Sundance last year 
and is now hitting theaters around the U.S.  This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE found 
the bi-racial lesbian filmmaker to easily be as engaging as her film (includes 
clips from the movie) [8:10]  +  "TWO" I.D. by writer PATRICIA NELL WARREN 
("The Front Runner" trilogy) [:10].   8:20
                 [www.power-up.net; www.PrideOnScreen.com]


SEGMENT #3 -  She says she considered hanging up her high heels, but one of 
the world's most famous drag divas is back on the scene with a whole new 
attitude.  This Way Out's JD DOYLE has the "RED HOT" secrets from the one and only 
RUPAUL (with excerpts from "Red Hot" cuts "Love Is Love", "Coming Out of Hid
ing" and "Looking Good, Feeling Gorgeous") . . .   7:35
