NZ MARRIAGE EQUALITY: Has all hell broken out across the Tasman? No. We speak to New Zealand MP Maurice Williamson about how everything is going after they became the latest country to legalise same sex marriage. It turns out that his prediction that everything will be fine and nothing would change for the worse, was actually correct. Incredible! An entertaining chat.

VGLRL: Anna Brown from the Victorian Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby joins us to chat about a National LGBTI Election Survey that they’ve put together, probing the major parties on their policies affecting our communities.

RUSSIAN EMBASSY: GNW’s Shannon Gillies speaks to a staffer at the Russian Embassy to Australia about how the country’s new anti-propaganda laws might be affecting LGBT citizens of the country.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS ROUND-UP: GayStarNews.com’s Asia-Pacific Correspondent, Andrew Potts brings us the very latest news from around the globe.

THE END! That’s it! We’re taking a bit of a break from the airwaves. Thanks to everyone who has supported us since we started. To keep in contact, follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook.
