Six months ago, BP's Deepwater Horizon oil rig blew up in the Gulf of Mexico, killing eleven workers and triggering the worst oil spill disaster in US history. More than 200 million gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf, polluting coastlines in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. To mark the six-month anniversary, we speak to acclaimed writer and environmentalist Terry Tempest Williams, who spent two weeks traveling the Gulf Coast this summer. - Anti-Gay Fervor in Uganda Tied to Right-Wing U.S. Evangelicals Human rights activists in Uganda are warning that the lives of gay people are in danger after a newspaper published a front-page story featuring the names and photographs of what it called Uganda's 100 "top" gays and lesbians alongside a yellow banner that read "Hang Them." We look at the ties of the anti-gay movement in Uganda to the far-right evangelical movement here in the United States with Jeff Sharlet, author of "C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy." - Chicago Parents Occupy Elementary School Building to Prevent Demolition A preliminary deal has been reached between Chicago Public Schools and a group of parents who have occupied a field house at Whitter Elementary School for 37 days to prevent its demolition. The Chicago Public Schools have agreed to build a library and scrap plans to demolish the field house and lease it to the local parents' association instead. We get a report from Democracy Now!'s Jaisal Noor and speak to Chicago community organizer Cecille Carroll. http://www.democracynow.org
