Hip-hop's Angel Haze shares the "Same Love";
Television celebrates a "Modern" marriage;

Brunei's deadly penal code gets the Sultan's blessing, Japan's First
Lady floats a message of Pride, Russian repression enters Crimea,
Uganda targets "homo-promoting" NGO's, and more global LGBT news

-
 In "NewsWrap": Death by stoning for consensual adult gay sex is 
celebrated in the tiny Southeast Asian nation of Brunei by the  
omnipotent Sultan Hassnal Bokiah, while protests at and boycotts of 
Brunei-owned high-end hotel properties begin in the U.S. and Europe… 
Japan's First Lady Akie Abe rides atop a float with a 
colorfully-bedecked drag queen at Tokyo's LGBT Pride Parade, while about
 300 rainbow flag-waving Russian LGBT people and their supporters 
participate without incident at the St. Petersburg May Day march… the 
so-called "no promo homo" law comes to Crimea following its annexation 
by Russia… a draft bill in Uganda would add to the draconian 
"Anti-Homosexuality Law" by banning NGOs from providing monetary or 
other assistance to LGBT people in the east African nation because that 
would be "promoting homosexuality”… Northern Ireland lawmakers reject a 
proposal to discuss marriage equality, but the United Church of Christ 
sues the U.S. state of North Carolina for its law banning ministers from
 officiating the marriages of same-gender couples [with comments by UCC 
General Minister and President GEOFFREY A. BLACK]… and more LGBT news 
from around the world (produced by STEVE PRIDE, written by GREG GORDON, 
and reported this week by CAROLE MEYERS and RICK WATTS).

- Is it 
real or is it "MODERN FAMILY"? As the TV sitcom closes its 5th season, 
gay couple "Mitchell" and "Cameron" will be tying the knot. Actors JESSE
 TYLER FERGUSON and ERIC STONESTREET discussed the big event -- which 
they compared favorably to Ferguson's own actual wedding -- on ABC-TV’s 
"JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!”.

- "This Way Out" commentator JANET MASON 
loves the literature of love, and takes a fresh look at an old tale by 
Oscar Wilde in "THE WILDE PASSIONS OF DORIAN GRAY", a novel by Mitzi 
Szereto, and at the happy endings of gay love in "FOOLISH HEARTS", an 
anthology of short stories edited by Timothy J. Lambert and R. D. 
Cochrane -- both from Cleis Press.

 Homophobia may not make hip-hop headlines, but the stigma against LGBT 
artists remains strong. Rapper ANGEL HAZE courageously addresses the 
issue in a freestyle track over Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' 
Grammy-winning "SAME LOVE".
