Drag queens defend their contested story hours; fresh waters flow from "The Well of Loneliness"; Singapore announces repeal of its ban on sex between men, a gay Hong Kong activist loses his marriage portability appeal, Vietnam heals its LGBTQ "disease" and treatment stance, conversion therapy survivors get help in New Zealand, a federal appeals court upholds an injunction blocking Arkansas' gender affirming care ban, and a Texas Christian church does penance for its homophobic "Hamilton"! Those stories — and more this week — when you choose "This Way Out": the world's audio oasis for queer news and culture.
