- In "NewsWrap": The suicide of spied-on Rutgers freshman Tyler Clementi and at least four other U.S. gay teens in September - including a 15-year-old and two 13-year-olds - finally draws mainstream media attention to a festering crisis, but hip-hop star 50 Cent tweets depravity... the ninth annual Q! Film Festival in Jakarta, Indonesia survives hard-line Muslim protests... Beijing riot police detain at least 80 men in raids on a popular gay cruising spot... infamously homophobic Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov is fired after 18 years in power... Tasmania becomes the first Australian state to recognize same-gender marriages legally performed elsewhere... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by ROBERT LEBLANC and RICK WATTS).

- The tragic news of harassment and suicides this week reminds us that LGBT young people need to hear queer stories with happy endings to help sustain them through the difficult trials of adolescence. They can also be humanizing portraits for those who simply want to understand the LGBT experience. "This Way Out" correspondent SHERI LUNN has been collecting inspiring personal stories from a number of prominent gays and lesbians. LORRI L. JEAN of the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center heralds October 11th's NATIONAL COMING DAY in the U.S. with her story.

- It's 1957 San Francisco, and what has since been called an American masterpiece is put on trial. The new film "HOWL" recounts the tumultuous events that led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice as an artist and the obscenity trial that challenged it, while celebrating the startling originality of the poem itself. "This Way Out's" STEVE PRIDE chats up Oscar winning writers/directors ROB EPSTEIN and JEFFREY FRIEDMAN (whose credits include "The Celluloid Closet", "Common Threads: Stories From The Quilt" and "Paragraph 175") about Allen Ginsberg, the poem, and their first narrative film (with preview clips featuring JAMES FRANCO as the then-29-year-old Ginsberg) [www.tellingpictures.com].
