Subject: Nov 7 ABC show on Gay Marriage/Parenting

ABC's highly regarded Turning Point program (Thursday 10-11pm Eastern time)
is doing an hour long special on gay marriage.  The air date is scheduled
for Thursday November 7.  

The show's format is to focus on the personal experiences of several people
affected by a given issue (no experts or politicos weigh in pro or con).  In
the case of this show, there will be four couples profiled -- three who have
recently had a commitment ceremony, including a Jewish gay male couple from
Toronto, a lesbian couple who are both ministers and have raised children
from previous heterosexual marriages, and a gay male Episcopalian couple who
are lawyers in SF.  

The fourth couple is my partner Annette and me.  We had an interfaith
ceremony in 1992, so our story is the "life goes on" segment.  It will
include some ceremony footage, and then our preparing for and enjoying our
baby who was born last week. 

By the way, the show found us through our commitment ceremony web site at:
