In NewsWrap: Namibia’s High Court overturns the Southwest African nation’s colonial-era sodomy laws; Thailand lawmakers give final approval to a bill opening civil marriage to same-gender couples, making it soon-to-be the first Southeast Asian nation with marriage equality [with brief comments by Thai activist MATCHA PHORN-IN]; another federal judge adds 6 more Republican-controlled U.S. states to those that can ignore the Biden administration’s interpretation that Title IX federal statutes banning discrimination in education based on sex also protect LGBTQ students; WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY KARINE JEAN-PIERRE kicks off a press briefing this week by celebrating June Pride month [with excerpts from her remarks, and a cameo by PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN]; some 500 people hit the streets of Kyiv for an unauthorized but peaceful and vocal LGBTQ Pride march — the first since Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine [with brief on-scene sound]; and thousands of Rome Pride-goers roast Roman Catholic Pope Francis for his widely reported use of a slur for gay men — twice [with brief on-scene sound] (written by GREG GORDON and LUCIA CHAPPELLE, produced by BRIAN DeSHAZOR, and reported this week by DAVID HUNT & AVA DAVIS).
Feature: This week, PRIDE IS A PROTEST (produced by DANIEL HUECIAS with BRIAN DeSHAZOR and LUCIA CHAPPELLE and featuring LEVIN FERTZER, Community Outreach Manager at Pacific Pride Foundation, with music by KETSA).
