This Way Out (LGBT)
This Way Out leads off each week with NewsWrap, a summary of some of the major news events in or affecting the lesbian/gay community, compiled from a variety of publications and broadcasts around the world.
Disability meets sexuality in India for a “Margarita With A Straw”; Hong Kong makes diversity pretty in pink, hundreds are detained for being proud in Kampala, Haitian authorities shut down a queer Afro-Caribbean festival, the “Times of India” reports more than a thousand arrests last year under Penal Code Section 377, the colonial era law criminalizing sex “against the order of nature”, escalating boycotts of North Carolina because of its anti-LGBT law, HB2, prompts a major investment group to warn of a state government-inflicted recession and more global LGBT news!
