Summary In this episode, the show's stories take you to church, into the kitchen, back to the 1950's and into the world of plastic surgery and body corrections, both traditional and on the black market. A CHURCH DIVIDED The Anglican Communion and its American arm, the Episcopal Church, is one of the largest religious communities in the world. But four years ago the American Episcopalians elected their first openly gay Bishop, Gene Robinson, in New Hampshire. As a result, a heated debate over homosexuality has led to a battle between Conservative and Progressive factions within the Church. We hear from both sides of the debate as In the Life explores this complex issue. THE CAFFE CINO In the late 1950's and early 60's, Greenwich Village was a vibrant meeting place for the gay community. It was during this period that public gay theatre was born at virtually hidden little places like The Caffé Cino. In the Life sits down with some of the early founders of this remarkable institution. JOSIE SMITH MALAVE This next story takes audiences into the kitchen of one of America's toughest and most charismatic chefs, Josie Smith Malave, where she will share her approach to life and how that feeds her passion for the art of cooking. LULU GETS A FACELIFT In this month's "Real to Reel", In the Life profiles a documentary that takes a look at aging in the gay community through the experience of LuLu, a San Francisco-based drag performer. When celebrities get plastic surgery, you only get to see the before and after. In this film, Louis (or LuLu) very bravely lets us witness the before, the during, and the after. BEAUTY ON THE BLACK MARKET For transgender women who are low income, the ability to 'pass' as a female can make the difference in being able to simply get a job, put food on the table or avoid the very real threat of violence. The stakes are higher for trans-women and some women will go to some pretty extreme measures to enhance their feminine appearance. In this episode's final segment, In the Life explores this important health issue for the trans community.
