SEGMENT #1 -  "NewsWrap":  Canada's bill C-38 establishing marriage equality 
for same gender couples becomes the law of the land, while judicial challenges 
to Spain's new marriage law complicate matters for queer couples there;  
Belgium's Interior Ministry reports almost 2,500 marriages of lesbian & gay 
couples since they became legal in that country in September 2003;  the Greek 
Orthodox Church denounces the support for marriage equality announced by the 
opposition Sunaspismos Coalition last week, while an Italian opposition leader calls 
for enactment of French-like "Pacts of Civil Solidarity" in his country;  an 
international furor erupts over the reported torture and execution in Iran of 
two teenagers convicted of homosexual conduct, while a United Nations 
Commission on Human Rights official calls for a review of the judicial process under 
that same Islamic Sharia law governing Nigeria, where a man faces execution by 
stoning after admitting he had engaged in homosexual acts, and two other men 
face death on the same charges;  meanwhile, the suspect in the brutal murder of 
leading Sierra Leone lesbian activist Fannyann Eddy escapes from custody, and 
national police in Uganda reportedly raid the home of Victor Juliet Mukasa, 
the leader of Sexual Minorities Uganda, detaining a visiting Kenyan activist;  
Latvians hold their first-ever Pride march in Riga following a court order 
overturning a government ban on the event, while Turkey's 12th annual march is 
held in Istanbul;  and major photographic equipment manufacturer Eastman Kodak 
adds a proud "Kodak moment" to its Web site [www.kodak.com/go/pride]  (written 
by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to Graham Underhill, Rex Wockner, and Greg 
Gordon, and reported this week by CINDY FRIEDMAN & RICK WATTS) [10:30]  +  La 
Familia Galan billboard [:10]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  10:40


SEGMENT #2 -  The Log Cabin Republicans, a gay GOP group, has taken a "wait 
and see" approach to President George W. Bush's nomination this week of 
50-year-old JOHN G. ROBERTS to replace the retiring Sandra Day O'Connor on the U.S. 
Supreme Court.  Other queer advocacy groups, including Lambda Legal, the 
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and the Human Rights Campaign have not yet 
expressed direct opposition -- but they have expressed, respectively, "serious 
concern," "grave pause," and "grave concern."  Underscoring that anxiety is the 
glee with which virtually all right wing groups in the country have embraced 
the nomination.  O'Connor has often been the swing vote on a closely divided 
court, and ruled with the majority in the 2003 "Lawrence" case overturning U.S. 
sodomy laws.  Her potential replacement has no apparent "paper trail" of 
rulings on sexual minority issues, but his pedigree is worrisome to most progressive 
activists.  HUMAN RIGHT CAMPAIGN SENIOR COUNSEL LARA SCHWARTZ briefed the 
GLBT media about Roberts, and the confirmation process to come, during a 
telephone press conference this week . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   7:55


SEGMENT #3 -  "TWO" I.D. by Russian activist ROMAN KALININ [:10]  +  Is it 
political performance art, or is it just "screwing around?"  LA FAMILIA GALAN is 
a group of about 25 gender bender drag queens and friends in LA PAZ, BOLIVIA. 
 They were one of the highlights of the La Paz Pride march, but their 
frequent presence on the streets of the nation's capitol makes them much more than a 
parade contingent.  They grew out of traditional drag pageants, but their 
political perspective has grown way beyond female impersonation.  It's 
"transformative" 21st Century activism, and it's happening where you might least expect 
it.  "This Way Out" correspondent LINDA FARTHING gets into "the family way" 
with La Paz's La Familia Galan (with comments by PARIS, KAOS and DANNA GALAN)
