SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": Censorship plagues Pride in Singapore, and a
parade float is dynamited in La Paz, but Montreal celebrants exceed expectations;
a queer Quebec couple wins financial damages from one of their tormentors;
new British P.M. Gordon Brown reaffirms his Government's commitment to queer
rights; China's first gay center opens in Hong Kong, while Japan's first
openly-queer parliamentary candidate Kanako Otsuji loses her election bid by a slim
margin; Aussie activists are charging the Howard Government with violating the
country's immigration laws and breaching the UN Covenant on the Rights of the
Child with proposed legislation to deny a visa to any overseas child adopted
by a same-gender couple; global shipping giant UPS bows to political pressure
and bad press by reversing a policy that had denied spousal benefits to civil
unioned union workers in New Jersey because they weren't considered legally
married; and queer advocates in Rome embrace a "Gay Street" kiss-in (written
by GREG GORDON, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL and REX WOCKNER with BILL
KELLEY, and reported this week by JON BEAUPRE and RICK WATTS) [10:11] + John

SEGMENT #4 - At 6-foot-11-inches, JOHN AMAECHI never had a problem standing
out, but coming out was a bit more challenging. Born in the U.S. and raised
in Britain, the now-retired National Basketball Association center made
headlines earlier this year as the first male pro basketball player to tell the world
about his homosexuality in his best-selling autobiography "MAN IN THE
MIDDLE". In the first of a two-part conversation with "This Way Out" correspondent
RALPH RADEBAUGH, Amaechi talked about his early years, his "surprising" start
in basketball, and his mother's powerful example of succeeding despite
adversity. He picks up the story in this conclusion with his collegiate and pro
successes under the net, and his current social change agenda . . . . . . . . .

SEGMENT #5 - Broadway balladeer MICHAEL FEINSTEIN performs Ervin Drake's

Very Good Year," "Good Morning Heartache," and "I Believe (For Every Drop Of
Rain)". . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5:51
