 In "NewsWrap": Russia's politically powerful Orthodox Church calls for a
 public referendum to re-criminalize gay sex… the Indian government asks
 the nation's Supreme Court to reconsider its December 11th ruling that 
recriminalized gay sex, while just the threat of Uganda's draconian 
anti-gay law, yet to be signed by the president, is already making life 
more difficult for HIV/AIDS workers and the sexual minorities they 
serve… civil unions for Chile's same-gender couples may be just a few 
weeks away after the Senate overwhelmingly approves a bill to create 
them… Utah's Republican Governor Gary Herbert nixes state recognition of
 the 1,360 lesbian & gay couples who legally wed in the state during
 the 17 days that they could, but U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER says
 that the federal government will recognize those couples [with a brief 
excerpt from his video announcement]… comedy icon Lily Tomlin and her 
creative/life partner of 42 years Jane Wagner finally make honest women 
of each other on New Year's Eve in New York City… and more LGBT news 
from around the world (produced this week by STEVE PRIDE & WENZEL 
JONES, written by GREG GORDON, and reported by SARAH SWEENEY & RICK 
WATTS).
- U.S. National Football League veteran punter CHRIS KLUWE 
has been making news by scoring touchdowns for LGBT rights. He’s 
double-teamed for this interview by correspondents ABBY DEES & 
WENZEL JONES.

- A recent move by the U.S. Postal Service to honor
 pioneering gay activist Harvey Milk gets "Queer Life and Literature" 
commentator JANET MASON's stamp of approval (with brief intro music from
 "He's A Rebel" performed by BUENA VISTA).

- LGBT PUERTO RICANS 
have been on the front lines of key public issues in NEW YORK CITY since
 Stonewall -- all the while fighting for respect from both the LGBT 
community and from other Latinos. Correspondent KELLY COGSWELL talks 
with three prominent out NEW YORK CITY Puerto Ricans MARGARITA LOPEZ, 
LUIS SANTIAGO, and ROSIE MENDEZ about their activist lives.
