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:
LGBT issues strain an already-conflicted Catholic Synod on the Family; new lesbian lit of note includes a historical couple’s bio and a censored French classic; a British appeals court denies same-gender couple pensions parity, a pro-equality Obama resists endorsing the Equality Act, transgender people suffer setbacks in Malaysia and Poland, a government leader and an NCAA basketball coach make coming out news, Kim Davis gets an offer she’ll probably refuse, and more LGBT news from around the world.

Josh Earnest; Father Thomas Rosica; Yayo Grassi.
