SEGMENT #1 -  "NewsWrap": Taiwan's High Court rules in favor of free speech 
rights for "Lez Talk" on a women's radio station, but the owner of Gin Gin's, 
the country's only gay bookstore, is convicted of selling indecent materials;  
the prospects for passage of Canada's national marriage equality legislation 
now seems unlikely before the end of the current Parliamentary session, but 
what's believed to be the country's first military wedding of a gay male couple 
is held on an airbase in Nova Scotia, and the first dissolution of a same 
gender marriage since they became legal in British Columbia requires judicial 
wording changes to the Divorce Act;  a U.S. federal court upholds the 
constitutionality of 1996's infamous Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), and the main lawsuit 
seeking marriage equality in New Jersey loses in a state appeals court, but 
West Virginia's Supreme Court awards custody of a five-year-old boy to the 
lesbian partner of his deceased biological mother, while legislation approved by the 
Swedish parliament opens fertility treatment to lesbian partners who'd 
previously had to go to Finland or Denmark for those services;  Pride season 
continues, with controversy over its government recognition in Hillsborough County, 
Florida, and events in Boston, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC; San Jose, 
California; Salt Lake City, Utah; Des Moines, Iowa; Indianapolis, Indiana; Boise, 
Idaho; Austin, Texas; St. Augustine, Florida; Buffalo, Queens, Staten Island 
and New Paltz, New York; Canterbury, England; Winnipeg, Manitoba; and Hamburg, 
Germany, where a new world hugging record is set (written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, 
with thanks to Graham Underhill, Rex Wockner, and Greg Gordon; reported this 
week by RICK WATTS & CINDY FRIEDMAN) [10:45] + "Secrets" billboard [:10] .  10:55


SEGMENT #2 -  In a room full of politically conscious friends, could you 
admit you had mixed feelings when it came to a book about gay men and their 
deceased mothers?  This Way Out correspondent JANET MASON can, as she reviews 
"WALKING HIGHER: GAY MEN WRITE ABOUT THE DEATHS OF THEIR MOTHERS," edited by Andrew 
Renault (Xlibris) . . . . . . .   5:05


SEGMENT #3 -  "TWO" I.D. by SIR IAN McKELLEN [:20]  +  "TWO" email lists 
promo [:50]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:10


SEGMENT #4 -  The long complex journey of Captain RICH MERRITT is chronicled 
in his just released memoir "SECRETS OF A GAY MARINE PORN STAR" (Kensington 
Books).  This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE [www.PrideOnScreen.com] says the touching 
book is not nearly as salacious as the title implies.  Merritt's story includes 
an intense fundamentalist Christian upbringing, a career in the military, 
appearances in gay porn films, and finally law school.  Also chronicled are his 
years of self-hatred, obsession with circuit parties, drug addictions, suicide 
attempts and coming out in a national magazine.  Pride profiles Merritt and 
some of his secrets (with outro music from "The Marines Lament" by FRED SMALL). .
