âNurse Pimentoâ uncovers even more hidden Hollywood queerness; it takes more than a âRainbow Minuteâ to review âOscar Wildeâs Fairy Talesâ; Uganda oppression escalates with a massive bar raid, riot police protect the Tbilisi premier of a Georgian-Swedish gay film, Hong Kong rallies with Pride despite a parade ban, gay Malaysian men are sentenced to canings for âattempted sexâ, a drag reporter crashes Trumpâs impeachment hearings, and more LGBTQ news from around the world!

Correspondents: Mike Hinerman, produced by Judd Proctor & Brian Burns; Chris Albertson, David "Nurse Pimento" Fradkin. Theme Music: Kim Wilson.
This week's "This Way Out" #1651 contains descriptions of sexual activity that the U.S. Federal Communications Commission may consider to be indecent. They occur in the "Stranger Than Stranger Than Straight" feature: > the Ann Franke diary reading includes her thoughts about the beauty of women's bodies, wanting to touch another woman's breasts, and wanting to kiss a woman. The Bessie Smith/Buffet Flat part (the last element in the collection) has Bessie's niece Ruby describing a man giving another man a tongue bath in one room, and about "men going with men and women going with women" in other rooms of the Buffet Flat (in Detroit in the 1930's).
