Out in Oz Country!
As the “Yes” campaign works to save the rural children from Australia’s marriage plebiscite, country-bred, 24-year-old activist Russell Nankervis chats with our Barry McKay* about growing up away from big city lights, and what the plebiscite means to young people like him!
And in NewsWrap: Belarus jumps on the global homophobic repression bandwagon, Egypt expands its queer crackdown with an “anti-perversion” proposal, Trump’s DOJ backs his trans troops ban and a biased Colorado cake baker, Missouri appeals court equates gender stereotyping with unlawful sex bias, a high-profile Georgia state lawmaker suggests quarantining people with AIDS, and more international LGBT news reported this week by Tanya Kane-Parry and Michael LeBeau (produced by Steve Pride, written by Greg Gordon).
