Queer WonderCon & US Bias Booms!

LGBT geeks gather for a Los Angeles comic book convention with queer comics creators Alex Woolfson, David Reddish, Elizabeth Beier and Jon Mac (Entertainment Correspondent Steve Pride on the scene)!

A U.S. bias bills boon sparks a backlash against bigotry from NBA great Charles Barkley, Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant, Comedy Central's Trevor Noah, and out TV talk show icon Ellen DeGeneres … and another faux tourism ad from the folks at Funny or Die!

And in NewsWrap: Colombia's high court comes out for marriage equality, the new Pope's old Vatican nixes vows for queer couples, a U.S. federal appeals court reams Puerto Rico's equality-rejecting judge, Pennsylvania governor rings the LGBT Liberty Bell, and more international LGBT news reported this week by Jon Beaupre and Wenzel Jones (produced by Steve Pride, written by Greg Gordon).
