A new LGBT generation "Q's" up;
The Ninth Circuit holds a gloves-off hearing on Prop 8;
The E.U. measures variable rights among member states, a Czech asylum
test fails its E.U. exam, Jamaican activists demand answers in a
comrade's killing, Republicans repel "Don't Ask" repeal as the deadline
looms, Brazil equalizes partner pensions, and more global LGBT news
    
- In "NewsWrap": The E.U.'s Fundamental Rights Agency outlines the disparities among member states in the protection of LGBT rights, and criticizes the Czech Republic for using "arousal tests" in gay asylum cases... the Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All-Sexuals and Gays reports that one of its members has been brutally murdered... the U.S. Senate again fails to consider repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, but hope remains that it can still be passed in the waning days of the current Congressional session... a U.S. study reports that misbehaving LGBT youth are punished more severely than their heterosexual peers for similar offenses, while another confirms that familial acceptance is healthier for LGBT youth than rejection... Brazil's Social Security Ministry announces that the surviving spouses in same-gender relationships are entitled to the same pension benefits as their heterosexual counterparts... and more global LGBT news (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by RICK WATTS and GREG GORDON). 
    
- The wheels of what will hopefully be justice turned another round December 6th. MARK MERICLE and GLENN REEDER anchored Pacifica Radio's coverage of the PROP 8 "law and order" case in the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals courtroom (with reports by CHRISTOPHER MARTINEZ in San Francisco and DAN FRITZ in Los Angeles, and comments by Protect Marriage attorney CHALRES COOPER; Prop opponents' attorney THEODORE OLSON; JOHN LEWIS of Marriage Equality USA; and JOHN DAVIDSON of Lambda Legal).
    
- OUT & EQUAL WORKPLACE ADVOCATES is a San Francisco-based organization dedicated to creating inclusive employment environments. "This Way Out's" SHERI LUNN went to their 2010 Workplace Summit in Los Angeles to see how the group is affecting corporate America – but there was one fascinating individual there, Out & Equal Senior Program Associate ANGELA "Q" WILSON, that Sheri wanted to chat with about her use of what is probably the most contentious word in the LGBT community: "queer".
    
- "Any Other Name", a poem written and read by JONATHAN RYAN LEE (with thanks to ELAINE BAUMGARTEL at KUNM-FM in Albuquerque, New Mexico for production assistance, and to "facilitator" GLEN THAMERT).
