Socks spark a homophobic “blitz” in 1950’s Australia; Spain expands trans I.D. rights and more, the Church of England’s queer blessings deepen the Anglican rift, a Czech international footballer kicks out of the closet, Russian cops send a gay Chechen refugee to almost-certain abuse back in his homeland, U.S. marriage equality laws are tested by an Oklahoma lesbian custody fight, and a trans-phobic Arkansas senator gets the shade he deserves. Those stories and more this week when you choose "This Way Out": the world's audio oasis for queer news and culture.
Hosted this week by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle. "NewsWrap" reported this week by Kalyn Hardman & John Dyer V, produced by Brian DeShazor. Correspondent: Barry McKay. Theme music: Kim Wilson. Additional music: Styx; Harry Nilsson; Percy Faith.
