Puerto Rican culture meets New York's lavender revolution;
Get ready to buy stamps with Harvey Milk;
America's NFL gets a Kluwe about equality;
Russia's Orthodox Church prays for a gay sex ban, dangers rise as LGBT
Ugandans await a pending homophobic law, Chile moves closer to civil
unions, feds foil Utah's effort to ignore marriage rights, more news
-
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.
