MN Marriage Billboard & "October Mourning"

The campaign to keep the "one man, one woman" Minnesota Marriage Amendment from constitutionally banning equality got a boost from the Guerrilla Girls … and, of all people, Michelle Bachman! Minneapolis organizers Joan Vorderbruggen (http://www.artistsinstorefronts.com), Erin Sayer (http://www.cultstatusgallery.com), and Robyn Hendrix (http://www.thewarm.org) take Dixie Treichel to the streets to view their grand undertaking. (View the billboard here … and p.s.: they take on the Voter ID Amendment, too!)

Leslea Newman's (Heather Has Two Mommies) new book is subtitled A Song for Matthew Shepard, and This Way Out life and literature commentator Janet Mason finds it to be an evocative and powerful remembrance of the slain gay Wyoming youth.

Plus: Brian Houston sings his own Ballad of Matthew Shepard.

And in NewsWrap: Ukraine moves on "no promo homo" bill, Russia's top court upholds "gay prop" ban, no luck for Northern Ireland marriage equality, California's "cure" ban sickens rightwing groups, Puerto Rican boxer Orlando Cruz KO's the closet, and more news reported by Jason Proctor and Abby Dees (produced by Steve Pride).
