As TWO's SUSAN GAGE reports, the lesbigay community -- and conservative "family" organizations in "The Sunshine State"-- are watching the "Ward versus Ward" case very closely [includes comments by the father's attorney TED STOKES, the mother's attorney CHARLENE CARRESS and the American Family Association of Florida's DAVID CATON] (outro music from "Home Is Where The Heart Is", a duet by MARY TRAVERS & HOLLY NEAR from the latest PETER, PAUL & MARY album "LifeLines") ...................... 7:30 SEGMENT #3 - TWO I.D. by activist/author Urvashi Vaid ("Virtual Equality") [:20] + The right to stable gay and lesbian families and communities is a high priority for ANDREW SULLIVAN, the controversial young editor of "The New Republic" and author of "VIRTUALLY NORMAL: AN ARGUMENT ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY". In the fourth of a five-part feature interview with TWO's JON BEAUPRE, Sullivan expands on his belief that the symbolic value of conservative institutions, like marriage and military service, are important to the lesbigay movement and the general stability of a society; Sullivan also critiques the "liberal" argument about homosexuality (intro/outro music from "Love and Justice" by JUDY FJELL) .............................................................................. ................ 9:25 CLOSING CREDITS/CONTINUITY ...................................................... 1:35 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME ........................................................................ 28:30 -------------------Please note------------------ Anyone with questions, suggestions, or NEWS stories is encouraged to email "T.W.O."
