Michael Musto sets the table for celebrity gossip;
A good "Mormon Boy" becomes a latter-gay saint;
A British Commonwealth confab exposes post-colonial rights conflicts,
the U.N. exposes Iran's abuses against LGBT people, Indonesia's sexual
minorities get their first medical clinic, lesbian Ruth
Davidson leads Scottish Conservatives, and more global LGBT news
  
  
- In "NewsWrap": The British government's intention to tie its financial aid to countries' human rights records, including the treatment of LGBT people, angers several African leaders, including those from Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Ghana at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth, West Australia... the United Nations Human Rights Committee issues a report detailing and harshly criticizing human rights abuses, notably those against LGBT people, in the Islamic Republican of Iran... the first health clinic specifically welcoming sexual minorities in Indonesia opens on the island of Bali... Ruth Davidson's election to lead the Scottish Tories makes her the first "out" lesbian to head a major U.K. political party... former Australian hockey star Gus Johnston and current Welsh rugby team captain Jed Hopper each come out as gay men.. and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, produced by STEVE PRIDE, and reported this week by ROBERT LEBLANC and NATALIE PEOPLES).
  
- Playwright/actor/singer/producer/creativity coach STEVEN FALES has so much to say about his journey from Mormon missionary to upscale rent boy to gay performance artist that it takes an entire trilogy to get it all out. His powerful one-man shows have garnered international attention as the three plays have developed. The first of the series is the award-winning "CONFESSIONS OF A MORMON BOY," which just finished a run in London. While he was there, Fales paid a visit to ROSIE WILBY's "Out in South London" show on Resonance FM (with intro/outro music from REM's "Losing My Religion") [www.mormonboy.com].
  
- "This Way Out" entertainment guru STEVE PRIDE doesn't like gossip... but he doesn't mind chatting with one: MICHAEL MUSTO talks about his career path, his ethical approach to "gossip journalism", celebrities who come out and then go back in, the impact of the internet on show business gossip, and his new book "FORK ON THE RIGHT, KNIFE IN THE BACK" (with brief intro music by MARVIN GAYE, and outro music from Forbidden Broadway's "FORBIDDEN HOLLYWOOD" cast album).
