Nancy Wilson to succeed founding moderator the Rev. Troy Perry, but the homophobic Focus on the Family messes with MCC's new ministry initiative, and the U.S. United Methodist Church's Judicial Council defrocks open lesbian Rev. Elizabeth Stroud and reinstates a Virginia minister who had denied membership in his church to a gay man; Spain's Constitutional Court agrees to hear the opposition party's challenge to marriage equality legislation enacted by the Socialist government in June, and a third Israeli couple legally married in Canada files suit against their country's refusal to recognize that marriage; the U.S. state of Michigan's Republican Attorney General and Democratic Governor weigh in on the battle over domestic partner benefits for public employees; an Oregon county judge upholds the state's voter-approved constitutional ban on same gender marriage, but Washington's state Supreme Court supports the estranged partner of a lesbian mother in the former's lawsuit to gain equal custody rights of the child they both nurtured during the relationship, and Kansas juvenile gay sex offender Matthew Limon is conditionally released from prison following that state's Supreme Court ruling that laws punishing him were unconstitutionally excessive; and a gay man in a 20-year relationship with a World War II veteran discovers that the recently-enacted partner benefits for Australian Defence Force personnel don't extended to veterans pensions, although the conservative Howard Government does recognize same gender couples in newly-enacted Anti-Terrorism legislation (written this week by JON BEAUPRE, LUCIA CHAPPELLE, and GREG GORDON, with thanks to Graham Underhill, Rex Wockner, and Cindy Friedman, and reported by JASMYNE CANNICK and JON BEAUPRE) [10:55] + "Loggerheads" billboard [:15] . 11:10 SEGMENT #2 - While same-gender couple families face legal and economic discrimination almost everywhere in the world, a new report shows that such bias disproportionately harms HISPANIC same gender families in the U.S. According to the study, they earn less and are raising more children than their white non-Hispanic queer counterparts. Many must also overcome immigration and language barriers. These are just some of the findings of a unique study released this week by the NATIONAL GAY AND LESBIAN TASK FORCE POLICY INSTITUTE in collaboration with the NATIONAL LATINO/A COALITION FOR JUSTICE, a group that advocates for marriage equality. This Way Out's GREG GORDON has comments about both the report and gaining support for same gender couple families in U.S. people of color communities by JASON CIANCIOTTO, Research Director of the Task Force Policy Institute and the study's author; Colombian-born SERGIO SARMIENTO of the group IMMIGRATION EQUALITY; National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director MATT FOREMAN; and LORENZO HERRERA Y LOZANO of the National Latino/a Coalition for Justice . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6:05 SEGMENT #3 - "Challenge Match Deadline Extension" Promo [:35] + A Mother's Day quest collides with the legal barriers posed by adoption laws and the personal barriers built on homophobia in "LOGGERHEADS", the new film [from Strand Releasing] by the man who previously profiled "The MAJIK Ladies" -- and guess who gave him the idea!
