| Gay and pregnant: interview with expectant lesbian mother / produced by Philip Maldari |
A gay lifestyle does not necessarily exclude parenthood. Many gay men and lesbians were parents before they came out, and today some have chosen to have children after coming out. Philip Maldari interviews an expectant lesbian mother about her feelings about family, parenting, and artificial insemination. Phil also shares his feelings about being a donor. Note on label: Self-contained. Needs disclaimer. There is an explicit description about the process of artificial insemination so if your community is not going to like sex education over the air, don't get this one. No actual Carlin words but penis and vagina are used. |

| Genetic hazards / produced by Michael Singsen and Mary Shinoff. (Episode 4 of 5) |
How do the jobs we do affect our unborn generations? What are genetic toxins? How can we protect our children? Why is this not just a women's issue? How can this issue be used to discriminate against women in the workplace?

Voices heard on this program are workers at Occidental Chemical Company; Don Horton, a doctor who studied men at Occidental Chemical who had become sterile due to working with DBCP, an insecticide; Andrea Hricko, an OSHA consultant and producer of a film about working women; Anthony Robbins, director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH); Tony Mazzocchi, director of Health and Safety for the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union; Dr. Molly Coye, a medical investigative officer for NIOSH; Dick Cavalli, toxicologist for Standard Oil of California; Stan Dryden, manager of industrial hygiene services for Standard Oil of California; Steve Swanson, health and safety coordinator for the American Petroleum Institute; Karen Mew, a lab worker at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, a nuclear weapons and energy research facility operated by the University of California; Carol Oppenheimer, attorney at the Center For Law and Social Policy in Washington, D.
