Prince Harry and Meghan, Tennessee Passes Trans Protections, Parkland\u2014One Year Later, Love Is Love, and More: HOT LINKS<\/b><\/p>\n

BREAKTHROUGH<\/strong> Tennessee\u2019s State Attorney General Herbert Slatery issued an opinion Feb. 8 in response to a question posed by Rep. Mike Stewart, D-Nashville. \u201cA defendant who targets a person for a crime because that person is transgender has targeted the person because of his or her gender within the meaning\u201d of\u00a0the current state law that outlines sentence enhancements for hate crimes, Slatery wrote according <\/a>to Out\u00a0&\u00a0About<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This would effectively make Tennessee the first state south of the Mason Dixon line that has protection for trans<\/a> folk.<\/p>\n

MAGIC KINGDOM <\/strong>Prince Harry and his wife Meghan\u00a0spent Valentine\u2019s Day apart, according to<\/a> DListed<\/em>, because duty calls<\/a> and duty involved him visiting North Norway\u00a0as Captain General of the Royal Marines Because it was VD and he was away from his wife, the soldiers decorated a little snow house with candles and his wedding pictures. Whatever, this is so staged. It\u2019s obvious he wasn\u2019t in Norway. He\u2019s in some sound stage in London and that little house isn\u2019t made of snow, it\u2019s made of some kind of fire resistant material. Because real snow would immediately melt after being hit with the rays of heat shooting off of PHG\u2019s crotch.<\/p>\n

BEHIND THE SCENES <\/strong>Entertainment Weekly<\/em> looks<\/a> at the making if The Broken Hearts Club<\/em>: Inside the making of the 2000 gay<\/a> rom-com.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove, friendship, and heartbreak are universal, no matter a person\u2019s sexuality. Greg Berlanti\u2019s\u00a0The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy<\/em>\u00a0told the story of six gay<\/a> best friends \u2014 Dennis (Timothy Olyphant), Cole (Dean Cain), Benji (Zach Braff), Patrick (Ben Weber), Taylor (Billy Porter), and Howie (Matt McGrath) \u2014 navigating the Los Angeles dating scene. \u201cI had always loved the movie\u00a0Diner<\/em>,\u201d says Berlanti (Love, Simon<\/em>), who wrote and directed\u00a0Club<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0is now one of Hollywood\u2019s top producer-directors<\/a>. \u201cI felt like at the time there was no gay<\/a>\u00a0Diner<\/em>. There was no movie that kind of captured the spirit of young gay<\/a> friendships as I knew them at that particular moment in the late \u201990s in West Hollywood.\u201d\u00a0Club<\/em>\u00a0grossed only about $1.7 million domestically after its release in October 2000, but has become a beloved cult classic. EW talked to Berlanti and many\u00a0Club<\/em>\u00a0members about going to \u2018gay<\/a> school,\u2019 embracing puka shell necklaces, and the film\u2019s important legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

PARKLAND<\/strong> A year later.<\/p>\n

Fourteen students died on Feb. 14, 2018, in Parkland, Fla., inspiring marches, new laws and widespread calls<\/a> to stop the onslaught of gun deaths. But in the year since one of the worst school shootings in the United States, nearly 1,200 more children have lost their lives to guns in this country. The number alone might stop most people in their tracks. But editors at\u00a0The Trace<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> a nonprofit news organization that reports on gun violence, wanted to remember the dead not as statistics, but as human beings with rich histories.\u00a0This week they launched \u201cSince Parkland,\u201d<\/a>a website compiling profiles of every one of the victims. To tell their stories, The Trace<\/em> turned to those who could relate most closely to the victims: other young people said<\/a> The New York Time<\/em>s.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

DRUG TEST<\/strong>\u2018s can\u2019t always detect date rape drugs. Everything about date rape drug tests \u2014 from the way they are performed to how the results are interpreted \u2014 is deeply unreliable. So why does the legal system treat them like gospel?

DUNE REBOOT<\/strong> Jason Momoa\u00a0is the latest star in talks to join the cast of the upcoming reboot of\u00a0<\/a>Dune<\/a><\/em>!<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old\u00a0Aquaman<\/em>\u00a0star is in negotiations to play Duncan Idaho \u2013 the swordsmaster who is fiercely loyal to\u00a0Timothee Chalamet<\/a>\u2018s character Paul Arteides and his family,\u00a0THR<\/em><\/a>\u00a0reports. Set in the distant future,\u00a0Dune\u00a0<\/em>follows Paul Atreides, whose family assumes control of the desert planet Arrakis. As the only producer of a highly valuable resource, jurisdiction over Arrakis is contested among competing noble families. After Paul and his family are betrayed, the story explores themes of politics, religion, and man<\/a>\u2019s relationship with nature, as Paul leads a rebellion to restore his family\u2019s reign.<\/p>\n
