Among the 8 states where such measures were on the ballot this week, LGBT activists nationwide looked to WISCONSIN and ARIZONA as having the best chance of turning back the tide. This Way Out correspondent JOHN QUINLAN [WORT-FM/Madison] reports on the disappointing loss in the Dairy State (with comments by reelected "out" U.S. Congressmember TAMMY BALDWIN and MIKE TATE of Fair Wisconsin, the group formed to fight the amendment) [4:36], and KYRSTEN SINEMA and STEVE MAY of Arizona Together, and JOE YUHAS of Riester, a political consulting firm that worked with the LGBT-led group fighting the ballot measure there, discuss the reasons for the electoral success in their state [4:11] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:47 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by pioneering transsexual New Zealand M.P.

He was in Kosovo to cover the NATO air strikes against Yugoslavia. In New York City he spent months covering the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks, then traveled to Central Asia to report on the story from Afghanistan. He covered the Kashmir conflict from India and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the Holy Land. In 2003, as one of CNN's 18 embedded journalists during "Operation Iraqi Freedom," Bellini reported, often from the frontlines, from his position with the U.S. Marines. But in 2005 Jason Bellini's career took a sharp gay turn when he became the lead anchor for CBS News on LOGO, the LGBT Cable Channel. The reporter becomes the subject as This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE chats with Bellini about his journalistic past, present and future. . . . . . . 6:44 [www.logoonline.com; www.prideonscreen.com] Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:19 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:00 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," ARIZONA'S MARRIAGE BAN BUST BALANCES WISCONSIN'S BITTER BALLOT BLOW -- YOU'LL HEAR REPORTS FROM BOTH U.S. STATE BATTLEGROUNDS...
