God's love loses in a U.S. Methodist court and a homophobe's heart; from a 50s purge in Florida to "Purple Hands" in San Francisco; Hallmark gets a holiday "greeting" from Comedy Central's "The Daily Show"; an initial marriage equality vote puts Scotland on the high road, Senegal frees lesbians arrested for kissing but a court says Jamaican broadcasters are not required to promote tolerance, and more global LGBT news.
Hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle. "NewsWrap" reporters: Sarah Sweeney & Rick Watts; producer: Steve Pride. Correspondents: Janet Mason; Megan McEachin. Theme Music: Kim Wilson. Additional music: Tom Petty, John Barry.
If you're uncomfortable with the "Daily Show's" very brief and somewhat juvenile innuendo in the last segment -- starts with the song "Deck The Halls" and ends with Santa ho-ho-ho's (begins at 25:30, runs through 27:32) -- you're free to cut it, which would result in a show TRT of 26:58.
