Queer Courtesies & Rebel Religion!

The author of Steven Petrow's Complete Book of Gay and Lesbian Manners chats with our Steve Pride about how LGBTs and allies can “do the right thing” and learn the true meaning of "respect”!

Three queer-positive books about LGBT people and religion get literary commentator Janet Mason’s blessing: Gay Conversations with God (James Alexander Langteaux), The Peace Seeker (Susan E. Gilmore), and Coming Out in Faith: Voices of LGBTQ Unitarian Universalists (Susan A. Gore and Keith Kron, eds.)!

Plus music by Melanie Amaro and Dave Hall!

NewsWrap Holiday: In the headlines this week, Greek lawmakers okay civil partnerships, a gay man sues for civil marriage equality in China, Malawi drops gay sex charges against two men, Tunisia jails six “offenders” for three years — and we’ll have details on those stories and more international LGBT news when NewsWrap returns on January 4, 2016!

Of Disabilities & Dixie!

There are no handicaps for QDA: A Queer Disabled Anthology contributors David Cummer and Lucas Scheelk (interviewed by correspondents Dixie Treichel and John Townsend).

The writers featured in Crooked Letter I: Coming Out in the South wrestle with U.S. Southern inhospitality (reviewed by Queer Life & Literature commentator Janet Mason).

Remembering some LGBT luminaries we lost this year in an extended Rainbow Minute (produced by Judd Proctor and Brian Burns, read by Mary Wallace).

And in NewsWrap: an activist/attorney renews the challenge to Jamaica's "buggery" law, out candidates score electoral firsts in Venezuela and Australia, the U.K. and U.S. each set out the welcome mat for LGBT Syrian refugees, a 4-year old Swiss boy demands the legal recognition of both his dads in the European Court of Human Rights, and more international LGBT news reported this week by Michael LeBeau and Carole Meyers (produced by Steve Pride, written by Greg Gordon).
