(hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
Marriage equality comes to two more U.S. states;
Psychology turns pink and Anderson Cooper sees red;
Global actions fight homophobia and trans-phobia, Africa's first out gay
black lawmaker takes office, Canada denies visas to Ugandan activists
invited to a World Pride Conference in Toronto, mixed judicial signals
keep married same-gender Utah couples in legal limbo, and more news

-
 In "NewsWrap": Millions around the world mark the 10th annual 
International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT) with 
states-people statements and a variety of actions in such locales as 
Costa Rica, Australia, Paraguay, Belgium, Albania, Russia, Cambodia, 
China, and South Africa, which now boasts Member of Parliament Zakhele 
Mbhele as the first black openly gay elected official on the continent… 
activists rail against Canadian Immigration after the agency reportedly 
denies visitors visas to 10 Ugandan activists invited to a World Pride 
Conference in Toronto because officials feared that they'd all seek 
asylum… another week, and another couple of U.S. states getting civil 
marriage equality: Oregon becomes the 18th and Pennsylvania the 19th… a 
federal judge orders Utah to recognize the more than 1300 civil 
marriages legally performed in the state during the brief period they 
could, while the Utah Supreme Court approves a request by Attorney 
General Sean Reyes to block those lesbian and gay marrieds from adopting
 children.. and more LGBT news from around the world (produced by STEVE 
PRIDE, written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by MICHAEL LEBEAU 
& PAM MARSHALL).

- State-level marriage equality rulings around 
the U.S. are coming so fast that one of our gay journalist colleagues is
 complaining that he's afraid to leave home in case something else 
happens! MSNBC's RACHEL MADDOW made this week's first big announcement 
on May 19th about the civil marriage ban being struck down in OREGON. 
Her MSNBC colleague CHRIS MATTHEWS covered the ban being struck down in 
PENNSYLVANIA the next day with NBC News Justice Correspondent PETE 
WILLIAMS, attorney TED BOUTROUS and out PENNSYLVANIA STATE 
REPRESENTATIVE BRIAN SIMS.

- Commentator CHARLIE BAUER PhD talks 
about G-men, the L-word, making it in a hetero-centric world, and what 
he calls "PINK FREUD" (with intro music from "Us & Them" by PINK 
FLOYD).

- When AMY KUSHNIR, the Dallas, Texas TV personality who 
piously protested pro-football's first televised gay kiss turned out to 
have previously hosted a posse of Chippendale strippers, CNN's ANDERSON 
COOPER had only one place to put her – his "Ridiculist" (with brief 
intro music from "As Time Goes By" performed by KENNY G). Meanwhile 
political humorist BILL MAHER wishfully claims on his HBO "Real Time" 
show that NFL prospect Michael Sam's televised interracial gay kiss 
signals a victorious end to the "culture wars".
