Hosts: Holly Landau and Joe Liberatore

News summaries feature an update on Gay Games V, the Mayor of Amsterdam's special message for GNN viewers and the latest on the year 2000 March on Washington.

In the Washington Report we'll talk to Col. Margarethe Cammameyer (ret.) who won a victory against the U.S. military's "don't ask don't tell" policy . Holly Landau caught up with Cammameyer in Washington DC's corridors of power after her retirement from the service.

In this Gay Agenda, political roundtable host Matt Hutchison brings together contributing editor for U.S. News Chandler Burr, who wrote the book "A Separate Creation," longtime gay activist Frank Kameny who is considered the grandfather of the gay civil rights movement and Daniel Zingale, Executive Director of AIDS Action. The three guests passionately argue their respective opinions on sexual orientation as either a choice or genetically pre-determined at birth, and how the debate has been politicized inside and out of the gay community.

Features for this episode include a spotlight on a gay couple and their mission to keep open a sanctuary for wayward potbellied pigs in West Virginia. Photo journalist Patsy Lynch reports on what has brought so many gay men and lesbians to the growing sport of soccer when she and GNN producer Bill Corey attend the International Gay and Lesbian Football Association Championships in Washington DC. The soccer footage highlights members of San Francisco Spikes, Maryland's Stocastic Force lesbian team and the team from Manchester, England singing their team song.

In our final segment Holly Landau goes back stage with stand-up comedienne Suzanne Westenhoffer and finds out what every lesbian (and drag queen's) handbag should have in the way of long-wearing and gay friendly makeup.
