Hi, folks!  This is note #1 (of 3) of the list of tv shows
with gay, lesbian, other sexual minority, and gay/straight
AIDS themes, for the tv week of Sat 3/25/95- Fri 3/31/95.
Be sure to read notes #2&3 also.  Most times are Eastern.

*********************************************************

The following shows air at multiple/various times:

>> BIOGRAPHY:  ROCK HUDSON.  Airs:
- Mon. 3/27/95, 8:00 pm, Arts & Entertainment cable
- likely (not definite) airing on Mon-Tues., 3/27-28/95,
midnight, Arts & Entertainment

>> INDEPENDENT IMAGES.  According to the March 1995 issue
of SEVEN ARTS/APPLAUSE, Philadelphia PA's WHYY ch. 12 is
airing the following films during this week's independent
film festival:
- On Mon, 3/27/95, sometime between 11:00 pm and midnight
(approximate air time 11:20 pm):  POSITIVE FAITH, which
"follows the lives of three Christians as they confront
spiritual issues and their HIV status"
- On Fri. 3/31/95, sometime between 11:00 pm and midnight
(likely air time 11:01):  CROSS DRESSING KEN, which is
described as "a comical look at a Ken doll."

>> CRACKER:  ONE DAY A LEMMING WILL FLY.  TV Guide
describes this 1993 made-for-British-TV movie as follows:
"The police allege that the prime suspect in a 13 year-old
boy's murder - a teacher (Christopher Fulford) - was
sexually attracted to the victim."  I've never seen or
heard of this, and I can't tell from the description if
this will be a really homophobic movie about pedophilia or
if it will be a story about unfounded police accusations
and homophobia, so let the viewer beware.  No promises.
Airs:
- Tues. 3/28/95, 9:00 pm, Arts & Entertainment
- Tues-Wed. 3/28-29/95, 1:00 am, A&E

knows?  Airs in most areas on Wed. 3/29/95, including:
- Wed. 3/29/95, 4:00 pm, on both NYC NY WCBS ch. 2 and

>> SALLY JESSY RAPHAEL:  TRANSSEXUALISM.  I don't know if
this is a misreporting or a two-part show, but my TV Guide

warned.  Check local schedules, but the airings listed in
