The Deadly Nightshade blooms anew;
Lesbian athletes: out since '81;
Delaware joins the U.S. marriage equality club, as Minnesota moves and
Illinois inches toward membership, while Albania revolts against
homophobia and hate crimes, young gay lovers are persecuted in Zambia,
Sydney's "Glorias" recognize inglorious bastards, and more LGBT news

-
 In "NewsWrap": Delaware becomes the 11th U.S. state –- along with the 
District of Columbia –- to open civil marriage to same-gender couples, 
and Minnesota and Illinois could be next; debate on the third and final 
reading of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill in Britain's House of 
Commons has been scheduled for May 21st and 22nd, but more than 35,000 
people sign a petition opposing marriage equality in Estonia; Albania's 
parliament passes historic LGBT-inclusive hate crimes legislation, but 
the persecution of two gay men continues in Zambia, while "winners" in 
Sydney, Australia of the annual "Glorias" –- the Gay & Lesbian 
Outrageous, Ridiculous and Ignorant comment Awards –- include New South 
Wales roads minister Duncan Gay, "Herald Sun" columnist Andrew Bolt, 
rightwing U.K. politician John Sullivan, and American Southern Baptist 
Convention President Reverend Fred Luter… plus more LGBT news from 
around the world (written by GREG GORDON, produced by STEVE PRIDE, and 
reported this week by TANYA KANE-PARRY and ROBERT LEBLANC).

- 
What have lesbian pro athletes been doing since 1981 that gay male 
athletes have not? "This Way Out" correspondent MICHELLE-MARIE GILKESON 
hit the streets to get the score.

- 38 years between albums? Not 
many bands live to see the day. "Queer Music Heritage" historian JD 
DOYLE profiles this trailblazing comeback act then and now (with 
excerpts from "Keep on the Sunnyside" and "High Flying Woman", each from
 1975, and "Don't the Lovers Ever Win" from their new CD "NEVER EVER 
GONNA STOP").
