11/16/95 in most areas.  Check local listings.  Airings
include:
> Thurs. 11/16/95, 1:00 pm, on Phila. PA WPHL ch. 17

The following shows air once this week as far as I know:

- SUNDAY MORNING (CC).  Airs Sun. 11/12/95, 9:00 am, CBS.

first detecting the virus in the early 1980s."-TV Guide

Hasselhoff) can't skirt the issue when a series of

he addresses the situation by posing as a female
impersonator."

- ROSIE O'DONNELL (CC).  Airs Sun. 11/12/95, 11:55 pm,
HBO.  I'm pretty sure that this is a rerun of the show in
which Rosie made some very ON-TARGET comments about the
murder of a gay Jenny Jones guest by another guest, and
about societal homophobia in general.

people with AIDS and HIV disease.

No promises here.  The TV Guide does NOT indicate any gay
content, but several readers wrote to tell me that Lt.
Adrienne Lesniak (Justine Miceli) came out as a lesbian
last week.  There has been speculation that there may be a
follow-up to the story this week.

- MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO.  Airs Tues. 11/14/95, 11:30 pm,
Bravo cable.  Movie about two male hustlers, one of whom
is gay.

- SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION.  Airs Tues.-Wed. 11/14-15/95,
3:20 am, Showtime cable.  Entertaining and reportedly
fact-based story of a gay con man.  Will Smith plays the

robber who keeps coming back.  Entertainer RuPaul has a
cameo."
