SEGMENT #1 -  "NewsWrap": Norway becomes the sixth country in the world to extend marriage equality to same-gender couples;  LGBT people and their supporters celebrate Pride in Rome, Athens, Warsaw, West Hollywood, and Seoul, while Budapest's police chief rescinds a ban he'd issued on that city's July 5th Pride march; two gay Spanish tourists arrested in Gambia for propositioning male taxi drivers are released after five days behind bars, three activists arrested for protesting anti-gay discrimination at an HIV/AIDS conference in Uganda face a court hearing in the coming week, an Egyptian appeals court upholds the three-year prison sentences of five HIV-positive men arrested for the "habitual practice of debauchery," and a Turkish court orders the closure of Lambda Istanbul for "deficiencies" in the LGBT advocacy group's bylaws;  Dutch and Spanish LGBT groups gain non-governmental organization consultative status at the United Nations, while the Organization of American States resolves to eradicate human rights violations against LGBT people;  and there's family pride as Katherine, the 18-year-old daughter of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, comes out  (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by CHRIS WILSON and PAM MARSHALL) [10:57]  +  Billboard for Charles Nolte interview [:07] . . . .  11:04

SEGMENT #2 -  "WILLIAM HAINES, HOLLYWOOD'S FIRST OPENLY GAY STAR" is remembered in a "RAINBOW MINUTE"  (produced by JUDD PROCTOR and BRIAN BURNS at WRIR-FM/Richmond, Virginia and read by GARTH ELLIS). .   1:08

SEGMENT #3 –  When veteran actor/director/playwright CHARLES NNOLTE made his Broadway debut in 1947, even the theater's most blatantly homosexual material went largely unacknowledged.  The world is at a decidedly different stage now, and Nolte finds no need to mince words about the plays and the people that have populated his celebrated career.  Not that he's by any means retired from the boards.  Nolte recently starred in the world premier in Minneapolis, Minnesota of the two-act drama "Exit Strategy," in which an elderly gay thespian and his friend face the closure of their hotel residence.  He compares stages past and present with "This Way Out" correspondents JOHN TOWNSEND and DIXIE TREICHEL ["Fresh Fruit"/Minneapolis-St. Paul's KFAI-FM] .   9:50
