Update on Toronto’s Bid for the 2002 Gay Games
	Toronto's bid for the 2002 Gay Games got a $25,000 boost from the City (that’s the old City of Toronto, not the big monstrous 1998 version) in September. Our cameras were at Woody's to catch Kyle Rae present the bid team with one of those big novelty cheques that politicians love to hand out, and wish them luck on the big decision in mid-November. Follow-up to this story: As you may be aware, Sydney Australia won the 2002 Gay Games, although Toronto was in the running right until the final round. 10%-Qtv is proud to have supported the Toronto team's bid with our promotion and footage, and we'd like to thank them for their hard work and efforts.
LGBOUT at the UofT
	The last school year was a very difficult one for Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals of the University of Toronto . The Student Administration Council refused to acknowledge LGBOUT as an official student group, insisted on retaining funds raised by successful "Homo Hop" dances for itself, and mismanaged a Carole Pope performance so badly that only ten people showed up! LGBOUT found itself in debt, and its phone lines disconnected. Supporters began to fear for its survival, while opponents hoped for its demise. We visited a new and rejuvenated LGBOUT determined to survive.
"NOW That's Homophobia!"
	NOW Magazine's film critic John Harkness told us "Gay Flicks Don’t Flick My Bic" in his paper’s Pride Week (!?) issue, and sparked a firestorm in the process. John explains to us how this is not homophobic, and we ask a few other folks whether this is bigotry or just honesty.
Out-Takes: "Your Vote for Mega Mayor?"
	While the expansion of its borders will add a few million more people to the "City of Toronto," they're not bringing even one gay bar with them. Which megacity mayoral candidate can keep Toronto fabulous? We ask some folks at Slack Alice for their opinion.
1997 AIDS Walk Toronto
	Our crew joined 20,000 other people to raise money for AIDS research as part of Toronto’s 8th annual AIDS Walk Canada , plus interviewed co-chair (and beefy Olympic swimmer) Mark Tewksbury .
