* In "NewsWrap": International human rights groups condemn a crackdown on gay men in Egypt, an anti-queer mob protests the release in Senegal of several men arrested for appearing in photos of a "gay wedding," lawmakers in Bahrain consider purging their country of gay men and barring them from entering the country, and LGBT groups from Spain, the Netherlands and Brazil are denied consultative status at the United Nations... Israel opens adoptions to same-gender couples, while a first-ever Palestinian LGBT group forms in Jerusalem... a lesbian couple in the Australian state of Queensland gets a marriage license, but another faces trespassing charges in the U.S. state of Colorado for trying to do the same... and other LGBT news from around the world (written by GREG GORDON, and reported this week by JON BEAUPRE and RICK WATTS).
* Queer Pride began as a revolutionary act and became a year-round, worldwide celebration. But as our commentator JANET MASON observes in "PRIDE IN THE VILLAGE," it's also a social process that takes many forms in the march toward liberation.
* In the words of Minneapolis filmmaker ESTHER B. ROBINSON, "Every family history has its missing." For Robinson's family, the "missing" is her uncle DANNY WILLIAMS. He made more than 20 movies as part of Andy Warhol's Factory, designed light shows for the Velvet Underground, and became the pop culture icon's live-in lover. But in 1966 he took a drive to the beach from his family's Massachusetts home and was never seen again. Robinson's documentary "A WALK INTO THE SEA: DANNY WILLIAMS AND THE WARHOL FACTORY" explores her uncle’s career and his relationship with Warhol, and while her film doesn't solve the mystery of Williams' disappearance, it has won her a stack of awards. She talks about the experience with "This Way Out" correspondents DIXIE TREICHEL and JOHN TOWNSEND [from "Fresh Fruit" on KFAI-FM in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota]. ******************************************************** "This Way Out" is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit under the corporate name of OVERNIGHT PRODUCTIONS (INC.).
