(hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
An anti-gay activist claims the rent boy just carried his baggage;
A Democratic Party bigwig challenges Obama to keep his promises;
Proud Lithuanians brave violent counter-protesters, a Moldovan court
discriminates against an anti-bias rally, Argentina's lower house leads
Latin America in marriage equality, and more global LGBT news;
And a flamboyant closet case is profiled in a "Rainbow Minute"
    
- In "NewsWrap": Police protect about 400 participants in the first-ever Pride march in Vilnius, Lithuania from thousands of violent protesters, while activists in Chisinau, Moldova celebrate five days of Pride without a government-imposed closeted rally... Argentina's House of Deputies approves a marriage equality bill... six more activists are arrested for chaining themselves to the White House gates to protest President Obama's failure to fulfill his promise to secure repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" this year, and a supportive rally across from the White House is buoyed by an unexpected appearance by former Vermont Governor and Democratic National Committee Chair HOWARD DEAN [with excerpts from his remarks]... Australian former Olympic swimmer Daniel Kowalski, popular Zimbabwe actor Frank Malaba, and U.S. country music star Chely Wright each come out... the annual International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia will be observed on May 17th [www.idahomophobia.org]... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by RICK WATTS and JENN MAHONEY).
    
- Flamboyant entertainer LIBERACE is profiled in a "RAINBOW MINUTE" (produced by JUDD PROCTOR & BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM in Richmond, Virginia and read by DUSTIN RICHARDSON).
    
- Mainstream media tongues seem to mostly wag the dog when the "right" people get caught with the "wrong" people, but is there a productive reason for focusing attention on yet another religious right rabble-rouser's sex scandal? DR. GEORGE REKERS has been pretty much inescapable this week. Among the numerous television reports was the one on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360”. And MSNBC host/commentator Rachel Maddow viewed the Rekers story as being about more than one hypocrite’s fall from grace (with intro/outro music from "Hard Times for Closet Cases" performed by RON ROMANOVSKY).
