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.
This week on This Way Out:
Barack Obama commutes trans whistleblower Chelsea Manning’s shameful sentence, and reflects on his LGBT rights legacy as does our “Queer Life and Literature” commentator; Sri Lanka keeps its laws against same-gender lovemaking, Ireland lifts its gay blood ban but not before a year without sex, Gambia’s genocidal Jammeh reluctantly relinquishes power, Trump touts patriotism and picks a pro-HB2 Civil Rights head, comic relief is coming from “Will & Grace” to help survive Trumped-up times, and more global LGBT news!
