Teachers are the bullies in a shocking student harassment case;
Same-gender parenting progresses in Uruguay and Germany, Florida" s
adoption ban is under appeal, Nevada domestic partners begin
registering, the Texas liquor board cans 3 agents for their bungled
Fort Worth bar raid, Senegal jails more gay men, and other LGBT news

- In "NewsWrap": Uruguay continues to lead Latin America in sexual minority rights with the pending enactment of adoption equality for same-gender couples, and Germany's highest court rules that gays and lesbians can adopt their partner's children, while Florida's total ban on adoption by lesbians and gay men is challenged in a state appeals court... same-gender couples begin registering their relationships under Nevada's new domestic partners law, while Wisconsin's Democratic Governor appoints a veteran civil rights lawyer to defend a challenge to his state's domestic partnership law after the Republican Attorney General refuses to do so... the Texas Alcoholic Beverages Commission fires 3 agents involved in the controversial June 28th raid on Fort Worth's Rainbow Lounge gay bar, while Senegal continues to prosecute and imprison men for consensual=2
0adult gay sex... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM and JENN MAHONEY).

- In the northwest suburbs of MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, a high school student and his family were not going to take anti-gay harassment on campus lying down.  Their more-than-a-year-long legal battle against the Anoka-Hennepin School District came to an end in mid-August with a $25,000 settlement.  As MINNESOTA’s largest school district, its board's decision not to fight a ruling by the state Department of Human Rights is notable, as is the source of the homophobic bullying.  "This Way Out" correspondents DIXIE TREICHEL and JOHN TOWNSEND ["Fresh Fruit"/KFAI-FM] discuss the case with OutFront Minnesota Legal Director PHIL DURAN (with "Teen Freak" intro music by DAVID BROWN).

- The trans-musical genres change on a dime in this month's "AUDIOFILE", with excerpts from "Beneath These Bones" and "Do It Again" from NAMOLI BRENNET's "UNTIL FROM THIS DREAM I WAKE"; "Heaven Dog" and "Young & Dumb" from COYOTE GRACE's "EAR TO THE GROUND"; and "Manwhore" and "Stranger Danger" from TOUGH TOUGH SKIN's "LET IT SINK DOWN" (with comments by the artists, hosted by JD DOYLE & CHRIS WILSON, and written & produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM) (www.audiofile.org).
