A pre-teen British trans-girl struggles to be she;
Episcopalians pass same-gender couple rites but Presbyterians reject
them, Maryland's marriage equality faces repeal, leading Latino rights
groups say "Familia es Familia", a bi-national couple fights DOMA
discrimination, a float-free WorldPride liberates London, cosmic Kameny
pickets between planets, and more global LGBT news
- In "NewsWrap": The Episcopal Church becomes the largest mainstream Christian denomination in the U.S. to approve a liturgy for same-gender unions, but the Presbyterian Church (USA) narrowly rejects a proposal to expand its definition of marriage to include gay & lesbian couples... Maryland's Elections Board officially qualifies for the November ballot a measure to overturn the recently enacted law opening civil marriage to same-gender couples, while two major Latino civil rights organizations in the U.S. lead other Hispanic endorsers of marriage equality... a bi-national lesbian couple files a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)... London survives showers, cut-backs and controversy to celebrate WorldPride 2012, but 8 Russian activists are arrested in St. Petersburg for violating the city's new "no promo homo" law... astronomer and gay rights pioneer Frank Kameny earns a place in the cosmos... and more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON with thanks to REX WOCKNER, produced by WENZEL JONES & STEVE PRIDE, and reported this week by MICHAEL LEBEAU & TANYA KANE-PARRY).
- When the bell rang last September, LIVVY JAMES went back to school as herself at last. The 11-year-old British trans-girl and her parents had not planned on it being such a public event, but the media got involved -- and you know how we can be! It's all worked out for the best, however, as Livvy and her mother SAFFY told MARY MILTON and CHERYL MORGAN when they shared their story on the "ShoutOut" show (on Bristol Community FM 93.2) [www.shoutoutbristol.org.uk].
