Marriage Equality's Tin Anniversary;
UN council declares support for LGBT rights, deadly deception may pass in Uganda's parliament, Obama and Rouseff seek OAS protections for LGBTs, U.S. deportation proceedings suspended for binational same-gender couple, and more global LGBT news

- In "NewsWrap": United Nations Human Rights Council declares support for LGBT rights and calls for member states to remove criminal statutes based on sexual orientation and gender identity... U.S. President Barack Obama and Brazilian President Dilma Rouseff call for the establishment of a "Special Rapporteur" at the Organization of American States to promote and protect the rights of LGBT people... President Yoweri Museveni would like Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill to fade away, but its provisions may reappear under the Sexual Offences Bill... Canada's Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Department has a plan to aid LGBT refugees fleeing persecution... for the first time since the Obama Administration announced that it would no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court, a binational same-gender couple wins a suspension of deportation proceedings... the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denies a motion to lift the ban on marriage equality while litigation over Proposition 8 continues... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by LUCIA CHAPPELLE and reported this week by SHERI LUNN and RICK WATTS).

- A lot of marriage equality water has gone under the arch since the world's first legal weddings of same-gender couples took place in the Netherlands ten years ago this week. Few moments in LGBT history can top that April 1st ceremony at the stroke of midnight, when the new law took effect. This comprehensive on-scene report by "This Way Out" correspondent JACKIE CARVER (MVS Media) includes Mayor Cohen's pre-ceremony remarks and the ceremony itself, and comments at the gala reception by the newlyweds.

- Parting words: a brief excerpt from the late Elizabeth Taylor's speech at the GLAAD Media Awards, April 15, 2000.
