Ugandan repression migrates to Gambia, Cairo cops hunt down viral video
"gay wedding" guests, the Australian Football League rethinks its deal

Court consideration, and more global LGBT news

- In "NewsWrap": Gambia lawmakers approve a draconian Uganda-like 
anti-LGBT law, while 7 men arrested in Cairo for appearing in a viral 
video that allegedly shows Egypt's first gay wedding ceremony "test 
negative" for homosexuality… the Australian Football League "reassesses" its major sponsorship deal with Royal Brunei Airlines in view of the 
pending laws in the tiny Southeast Asian country that call for gay 
people to be stoned to death… all eyes will be on the U.S. Supreme Court on September 29th when justices meet behind closed doors to consider 
hearing appeals of marriage equality rulings in Indiana, Oklahoma, 
Virginia, Wisconsin, and Utah, while 3 other federal appeals courts 
ponder marriage equality cases in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, 
Texas, Idaho, Nevada, and Hawai'i [with comments by KATE KENDELL of the 
National Center for Lesbian Rights]… professional homophobes MAT STAVER 
and MATT BARBER use a "heterosexual men are pigs" argument to keep civil marriage exclusively heterosexual [with a brief excerpt from those 
remarks on their "Faith and Freedom" radio show]… and more LGBT news 
from around the world (produced by STEVE PRIDE, written by GREG GORDON 
and reported this week by MICHAEL LEBEAU & KRISTIN MELLIAN).

 Smiling Irish eyes started looking shifty with the announcement of a 
back-room deal intended to cool the controversy over LGBT participation 
in NEW YORK CITY's famed ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE.  The battle for 
inclusion in the parade has been one of the most enduring in the LGBT 
rights movement. So why are local activists not painting the town green 
with the news that there will be an "out" group in the 2015 event? ANN 
NORTHRUP is a long-time lesbian organizer who's been involved in the 
on-going St. Patrick's protests, and the co-host of the weekly "Gay USA"
 TV show. She and guest co-host CHRIS COOPER discussed the background of
 the story on their September 4th program, and why there are serious 
reservations about the parade committee's action (with thanks to "Gay 
USA" producers ANDY HUMM and BILL BAHLMAN).

 "They got married and lived happily ever after." No, that's not how a 
new film from writer/director IRA SACHS ends. According to our 
entertainment correspondent STEVE PRIDE, that's where "LOVE IS STRANGE" 
actually begins (with comments by Sachs, audio clips from the film 
featuring lead actors ALFRED MOLINA and JOHN LITHGOW, and outro music 
from the film, "That's Him Over There", by NINA SIMONE).
