The pursuit of individual liberty the freedom to think and act freely comes with the individual responsibility to not harm the freedom of others. This concept is fundamentally American. But when it comes to freedom and equal rights for gays and lesbians, equal rights become draped in fear-filled rhetoric filled with stereotypes about family values, religion and politics. THE QUESTION OF EQUALITY is a four-part series for the gay and lesbian community coming to public television nationwide in October, and it addresses many of these issues head on. Here you'll find a broadcast schedule and information about the four programs, entitled Out Rage '69, Culture Wars, Hollow Liberty and Generation Q, as well as other information about programs from the Independent Television Service. Also, you'll find a space to publicly discuss the issues pertinent to your community and a survey to test your Queer Quotient. Your feedback is highly valued.
