(hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
U.S. bi-national same-gender couples on the brink vow to say "I Do";
A bill to recognize foreign lesbigay marriages fails in Australia,
Russia adds an adoptions ban to its growing anti-gay record, Ljubljana,
Zagreb and Shanghai celebrate Pride, Brazil's anti-rights Rights
chair moves to make gays and lesbians sick again, an ex-gay group is
now just an ex-group, and more LGBT news

-
 In "NewsWrap": Australia's Senate soundly rejects a proposal to 
recognize the legal marriages of same-gender couples performed 
overseas,  while Russia's Duma bans adoptions by unmarried foreign 
same-gender couples, and a staggering fine could crush Coming Out St. 
Petersburg, the city's leading LGBT advocacy group… Pride parades 
peacefully in Ljubljana and Zagreb, while an anti-gay assault on 
Poland's only "out" legislator mars an otherwise pleasant Pride day in 
Warsaw, political turmoil in Turkey threatens Istanbul Pride, while 
activists in Sofia bow to official concerns about violence and cancel 
their march, but this year's 5th annual Shanghai Pride Festival – even 
without a parade – is "bigger and better" than ever… the Brazilian 
Congress' oxymoronically named Human Rights Committee votes to reinstate
 the definition of homosexuality as a treatable disorder or pathology, 
but one of the world's leading "cure through therapy and prayer" 
peddlers, the U.S.-based Exodus International, exits the industry... and
 more LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, produced 
by STEVE PRIDE, and reported this week by PAMELA BROOKS and MICHAEL 
ALLAN).

- Every day, bi-national same-gender couples in the U.S. 
wait to see whether the courts or the Congress will intervene to keep 
their families from being torn apart by the Defense of Marriage Act 
(DOMA). At this pivotal moment, a new independent film dramatizes their 
plight. "This Way Out's" VASH BODDIE chats with director GLENN GAYLORD 
and writer/star DAVID W. ROSS about their well-received movie "I DO" 
(interview produced by STEVE PRIDE, with a scene from the film featuring Ross, 
JAMIE-LYNN SIGLER, ALICIA WITT, & JESSICA TYLER BROWN, and with 
intro/outro music from "You Don't Question Love" by TOM GOSS).
