 In "NewsWrap": The United Nations Human Rights Council approves a 
landmark resolution condemning anti-LGBT violence and harassment around 
the world, and the International Olympic Committee – not wanting to 
chance another Sochi – adds a provision to the standard host city 
contract requiring an affirmation of the rights of sexual- and 
gender-variant people, while Russia's Constitutional Court upholds the 
nation's notorious law banning "the promotion of non-traditional sexual 
relations to minors”… South Africa's first mosque to welcome people 
regardless of gender or sexual orientation to worship together is shut 
down less than a week after it opens… France's top court okays co-parent
 status for a lesbian couple, one of whom conceived via in vitro outside
 the country… the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charges 
two businesses with bias on the basis of gender identity in first-ever 
lawsuits citing Title VII of the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964… and more
 LGBT news from around the world (produced by STEVE PRIDE, written by 
GREG GORDON and reported this week by WENZEL JONES and SARAH SWEENEY).

 Entertainer NEIL PATRICK HARRIS recently tied the knot with his 
long-time partner David Burtka – and he told ROSIE O'DONNELL and WHOOPI 
GOLDBERG on ABC-TV's "The View" all about it. And as you hear this, the 
U.S. Supreme Court may have already decided to take up marriage equality
 appeals from one or more states. Everybody says it's inevitable, and 
everybody's getting ready for it -- so Comedy Central's KEY & PEELE 
came up with some family advice for uninitiated "wedding planners" (with
 brief outro music by ELTON JOHN).
