For Better, For Worse with Joan Bakewell.
A Danish priest legally marries his homosexual partner. Progressive, or a betrayal of fundamental values? While most of Danish society has supported the new legislation for homosexual partnerships, discontent does not go away. Joan Bakewell talks to those people for whom the wedding has been the end of a long struggle for equal rights, and also to those who feel that Danish society is being corrupted.
Heart of the Matter travels to Copenhagen to witness the first mass wedding of homosexuals and takes a fresh look at what is meant by marriage.
