SEGMENT #1 -  "NewsWrap": A Hungarian court rules that anti-queer demonstrators who threw eggs, bottles and rocks at Budapest Pride marchers last week were merely exercising their "free speech rights";  hundreds of thousands parade with Pride in Madrid, hundreds march in Lisbon, about 50 brave souls stage a Pride=2 0march in Santo Domingo, and an estimated 825,00 celebrants in London break all U.K. Pride event records, while some government officials are booed for disparaging remarks about lesbigay people and the U.K.'s ill treatment of queer asylum seekers, including the recent rejection by a Scottish Asylum Immigration Tribunal of the application of Syrian gay teen refugee JoJo Jako Jacob, but Sweden's Migration Board rules that all Iranian gays and lesbians who were "out" in their homeland should be given asylum;  former Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, jailed for sodomy in 1998 but whose conviction was subsequently overturned, is back in politics but faces new sodomy allegations;  a long-serving North Carolina state employee retires rather than follow the governor's order to lower flags to half-staff to honor recently-deceased racist and homophobic Senator Jesse Helms;  and lesbigay people must be "Lovin' It" that global hamburger chain McDonald's is resolutely rejecting a boycott against it for being too "homosexual supportive" by the anti-queer American Family Association  (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by PAM MARSHALL and CHRIS WILSON) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  10:27

SEGMENT #2 -  "Chris and Don" billboard (over instrumental beginning of intro music for this feature) [:18]  +  While freshly legalized lesbigay wedding bells are still ringing fast and furiously in California, state-level marriage equality does nothing to solve the problems of American gays and lesbians in relationships with non-U.S. citizens.  So like the African slaves of another century, many of these same-gender couples are jumping on a new Underground Railroad to find freedom in CANADA.  They get support preparing for and adjusting to their relocation from a group called Love Exiles. "This Way Out" correspondent HEATHER KITCHING [from "Queer FM" on CiTR/Vancouver] chatted recently in Vancouver with Nadine, one former Californian who changed countries so she could finally settle down with the Malaysian woman she loves (includes intro music from "Things We Do For Love" by 10CC) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   7:59

SEGMENT #3 -  "TWO" I.D. by MICHAEL EMERSON ("Ben Linus" on the hit TV series "LOST") [:22]  +  Have you ever wondered what happed to Sally Bowles' gay boyfriend after he left Berlin at the end of "Cabaret"?  "CHRIS & DON: A LOVE STORY" is the true-life story of the passionate three-decade relationship between British writer Christopher Isherwood (whose autobiographical "Berlin Stories" was the basis for the musical "Cabaret") and American portrait painter DON BACHARDY, thirty years his junior.  From Isherwoodʼs Kit-Kat-Club years in Weimar-era Germany to the coupleʼs first meeting on the beaches of 1950s=2 0Malibu, their against-all-odds saga is brought to dazzling life in this critically acclaimed documentary.  Award winning "This Way Out" film guy STEVE PRIDE spoke with Bachardy, and filmmakers TINA MASCARA and GUIDO SANTI (with intro music from "Cabaret" by LIZA MINNELLI, and outro music from "To Love and Be Loved" by DAVID BROWN). . . . . . . . . . . . .   7:27
