It was Spain's largest-ever annual queer pride parade, celebrating this week's parliamentary vote for marriage equality, which officially takes effect on July 3rd. However, due to the bureaucracy involved, activists don't expect the first marriage to take place for several weeks. Meanwhile, June 28th, 2005 will be remembered by CANADIAN gays and lesbians -- the day when their parliament passed ground-breaking legislation to legalize same gender marriage across the country there. The vote was 158-133. Eleven courts in nine provinces and territories had already legalized marriage equality in their respective regions, and public opinion polls now show a majority of Canadians approve. This Way Out correspondent HEATHER KITCHING (CITR-FM/Vancouver's "Queer FM") captures the historic moments from three perspectives: with the patrons of a queer bar in downtown Vancouver, B.C., a gay activist in conservative Calgary, Alberta, and a leading marriage equality lawyer at the parliament buildings in Ottawa, Ontario; includes comments by Vancouver drag queen JOAN E, Little Sisters' Book Store Manager JANINE FULLER, Egale Canada's Alberta board rep STEPHEN LOCK, and the attorney from the original Ontario provincial marriage lawsuit, MARTHA McCARTHY, with internal music from "Daughter Don't You Marry No Guitar Picker" by CORB LUND and "The Summer is Magic" by PLAYAHITTY (Emmanuele Asti & Stefano Carrara) [11:40] + "Love With Me" by PETER DONNELLY (www.peterdonnelly.com) [4:10] . . . . . . . . 15:50 Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:05 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:00 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," EQUALITY BILLS RING WEDDING BELLS IN CANADA AND SPAIN...
