(hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
Human spirit meets the Holy Spirit at the Anglican Lambeth Conference;
A pen friend lauds a lesbian writer's legacy;
Saluting an honored lesbian scientist who cured thousands of Africans;
Caymans lawmakers rush to prevent couples equality, death threat posters precede Sarajevo Pride but Pride blossoms in Taipei, judges blast bias in Florida and Maryland, and more global LGBT news

* In "NewsWrap":  Fearing outside intervention, the Cayman Islands, a British territory, passes legislation to define marriage as heterosexual only;  a Lebanese woman and her Bulgarian partner are sentenced to a month in jail for making out on a public beach in Dubai... "Death to Gays" posters appear on the streets of Sarajevo in advance of Bosnia-Herzegovina's first-ever Pride events, while organizers in Belgrade can only use a Web site to provide information about Pride activities in homophobic Serbia, but annual events kick off in Taiwan's capital of Taipei in advance of Asia's largest ever Pride parade... in the U.S., a Florida judge calls the state's 31-year-old ban on adoptions by gays and lesbians unconstitutional as he approves the adoption of a learning-disabled teenage boy by his gay Key West foster father, while Maryland's highest court yanks a referendum off the November state ballot intended to overturn gender identity anti-bias protections passed last year by the Montgomery 
County Council... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by LEIGH MOORE and CHRIS WILSON).

* In this portrait of a friendship, "This Way Out" queer lit commentator JANET MASON pays tribute to the life and work of lesbian author TONI BROWN.

* This "RAINBOW MINUTE" celebrates "LOUISE PEARCE – RENOWNED WOMAN SCIENTIST OF HER TIME" (produced by JUDD PROCTOR and BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by MARY GAY HUTCHERSON).

* Last time on "This Way Out", ex-ex gay activist and performance artist PETERSON TOSCANO gave a rousing description of the once-a-decade LAMBETH CONFERENCE of ANGLICAN bishops.  That mid-August gathering in ENGLAND was expected to be a make or break event for the worldwide Anglican Communion. The 2004 consecration of openly gay Bishop of New Hampshire Gene Robinson and the blessing of same-gender couples in Canada and the U.S. have been the main targets of schism-threatening conservatives in the Church.  In the conclusion of his conversation with "This Way Out" correspondent HEATHER KITCHING [CITR/Vancouver, B.C.s "Queer FM"], Toscano shares more about the human approach that transformed a potentially explosive situation [www.beyondexgay.com].
