An untold U.K. union story comes to the big screen with "Pride";
Marriage equality advances in the U.S. but stalls in Australia,
Belgrade clears the way for a thousand to parade with Pride, trade
pressure gives Museveni pause on Uganda's pending Anti-Homosexuality
Bill, the Philippines' Quezon City and Spain's Catalonia region block
bias and hate, drag queens fight "Facebook's" name game, and more news

-
 In "NewsWrap": A civil marriage equality bill stalls yet again in the 
Australian parliament… more than a thousand LGBT people and their 
supporters march in the first peaceful Pride parade in four years in the
 Serbian capital of Belgrade… Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is 
apparently having second thoughts about the latest version in parliament
 of the possibly trade-killing "Anti-Homosexuality Law”… the 
semi-autonomous Indonesian province of Aceh, which operates under 
Islamic law, enacts a new statute to punish same-gender sex with public 
caning, but Quezon City, the biggest in the Philippines, expands its 
LGBT anti-bias protections, and the Spanish region of Catalonia approves
 a bill levying heavy fines on perpetrators of anti-LGBT hate crimes… 
social media giant "Facebook" learns the hard way that you don't mess 
with drag queens… and more global LGBT news (produced by STEVE PRIDE, 
written by GREG GORDON and reported this week by MICHELLE-MARIE GILKESON
 and RICK WATTS) + October 6th UPDATE: the U.S. Supreme Court takes a 
pass on marriage equality cases (voiced by GREG GORDON).

- Movies
 about the labor movement have never been plentiful, and the few there 
are have certainly not depicted the long history of the alliance between
 LGBT and union activists. But a new film that's getting rave reviews is
 changing that. "PRIDE" tells the true story of 1980s Thatcher era Welsh
 coalmine strikers and their queer London supporters. Correspondent MARY
 MILTON ["ShoutOut Bristol" on BCFM] has a personal connection with 
DAVID "DAI" DONOVAN, one of the people portrayed in the film, and chats 
with him about his experience in real life and on the screen (with clips
 from the film, and outro music from "Solidarity Forever" by PETE 
SEEGER).
