Before a live audience on August 9th, they tackled a wide range of issues, including HIV/AIDS and healthcare reform; national policy and legislative matters like "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the Defense of Marriage Act, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and hate crime protections; the complexities of religion and morality in politics; and the civil unions versus marriage debate. "This Way Out" aired excerpts from the remarks of New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel last time. One of the other Democratic presidential hopefuls has become well known in the queer community for saying that he's "on a journey" regarding marriage equality. Panelists JONATHAN CAPEHART of the "Washington Post," lesbian rock icon MELISSA ETHERIDGE, and HRC Executive Director JOE SOLMONESE tried to map the journey of former NORTH CAROLINA SENATOR and 2004 Vice Presidential candidate JOHN EDWARDS, with the able guidance of moderator MARGARET CARLSON of Bloomberg News. First-term ILLINOIS SENATOR BARACK OBAMA is a big crowd-pleaser, but that didn't stop the forum panelists from also holding his feet to the fire on marriage equality and other key issues (this 3-part series concludes next time with Congressman Dennis Kucinich and Senator Hillary Clinton) [segment intro = :43; Edwards = 6:34; Obama = 7:41; segment outro = :24]. . . . . . . . . . . . 15:22 Closing Credits/continuity. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:18 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:58 =================================== * ============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," THE L-G-B-T U.S. CANDIDATE FORUM QUIZZES EDWARDS AND OBAMA ON MARRIAGE AND FAITH, WHILE A FORMER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT WHO BACKED EQUALITY IS REMEMBERED IN A "RAINBOW MINUTE"...
