Praise the Lorde & St. Pat’s Pride
People’s poets StaceyAnn Chin and New York First Lady Charlene McCray celebrate Sister Outsider Audre Lorde.
Queer Irish come home marching under their own banners for the first time in more than 25 years to New York City’s St. Patrick's Day Parade (featuring comments by former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Queens City Councilperson Jimmy Van Bramer, activist Brendan Fay, and Mayor Bill De Blasio).
And in NewsWrap: the Australian government guts its Safe Schools anti-bullying program, Botswana's ban on an LGBT advocacy group is overruled, Kansas lawmakers approve anti-queer campus bias, a Vatican pan makes Weekend sizzle at the Italian box office, and more international LGBT news reported this week by Carole Meyers and Michael LeBeau (produced by Steve Pride, written by Greg Gordon).
