1999 AIDS Walk Toronto
	We kick off our fifth season with a few thousand people at the 10th annual AIDS Walk Toronto. We also chat with AIDS Committee of Toronto Chair Michael Battista, Toronto's "Mayor Mel," and former mayor Barbara Hall about what this day means to people living with AIDS.
Homo History
	Since we're celebrating our fifth year, we decided to take a look back at other history-making events in queer history. This month we revisit 1969 and the decriminalization of homosexuality in Canada.
Sci-Fi Expo
	Space Cadet Enza takes us on a journey to the Canadian National SciFi Expo to explore new worlds, seek out new civilizations, and boldly go where no man in a dress has gone before. We visit the huge rolling pecs of Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk), the bright star Jeri Ryan (Star Trek Voyager's "Seven of Nine"), and other lesser but no less colorful bodies.
"Dragging it Outta' You"
	Back for a second season, we tour out to straightsville to ask the hets some skill-testing queer questions. This time we asked them to name three famous gay people (with extra points if they could go beyond Richard Simmons).
Wyoming One Year Later
	October marks the one-year anniversary of Matthew Shepard's brutal beating and death in Wyoming. With all the media coverage and vigils a distant memory, we went out into the Village to ask if society's learned anything from his bashing. We also got an opportunity to meet with some nice folks at the United Gays and Lesbians of Wyoming to get their side of the story, and maybe dispel some myths about the "wild west."
"Village Voice"
	In another new series this season, we camp out on "The Steps" on Saturday nights to hear what queer folks on Church Street have to say about... whatever. And that's what we got!
