(hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
A fond farewell to the "out"-going Lord Mayor of Bristol;
A peek between the 1920s Paris pages of "The Last Nude";
"Dykes" take Pride in their first Long Beach march;
Britain's Commons makes marriage equality the Lords' work, Australia's
former P.M. surprisingly calls for parity, Puerto Rico passes LGBT
anti-bias protections, and more global LGBT news

-
 In "NewsWrap": A lopsided approval in its third and final reading in 
the British House of Commons sends the "Marriage (Same Sex Couples) 
Bill" for England and Wales to the House of Lords, while Nevada's 
Assembly advances a bill already passed in the Senate to repeal the U.S.
 state's 2002 voter-approved constitutional ban and open civil marriage 
to same-gender couples, as former Australian P.M. and current M.P. Kevin
 Rudd surprises many with his blog posting in support of secular 
marriage equality… Puerto Rico's House joins its Senate to approve a 
bill banning bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity in 
employment, housing and government services… several U.S. advocacy 
groups criticize Democrats for throwing same-gender couples under the 
bus because they believed including rights for them would scuttle 
immigration reform legislation… the Boy Scouts of America decides to 
welcome openly gay members, but will kick them out when they turn 18 if 
they want to be scout leaders [JESS BURNS of "Free Speech Radio News" 
reports/www.fsrn.org]... and more LGBT news from around the world 
(written by GREG GORDON, produced by STEVE PRIDE, and reported this week
 by SARAH SWEENEY and GARY SHAW).

- The south-of-Los Angeles city
 of LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA is home to a flourishing LGBT bedroom 
community that has paraded its Pride for 30 years. But a related "Dyke 
March" had never been part of the festivities – until this year. "This 
Way Out" correspondent ZAMNÁ ÁVILA was there for the herstory-making 
procession.

- An artful novel took "This Way Out's" "Queer Life 
and Literature" commentator JANET MASON back to a different time and a 
different place (she peeks between the pages of ELLIS AVERY's "THE LAST 
NUDE", the 2013 American Library Association 2013 Barbara Gittings Literature Award winner set in 1920s Paris).

-
 A new highlight was added to the storied history of BRISTOL when PETER 
MAIN became the BRITISH city's first openly gay Lord Mayor. His yearlong
 ceremonial post ended earlier this month, and MARY MILTON of BCFM's 
"ShoutOut" show attended the farewell festivities at Mansion House.
