Luke Macfarlane “decided” to not follow through with one sexual scene in the upcoming comedy Bros. In a recent interview with Variety, the actor was questioned by journalist Mark Malkin about how he ‘navigated’ the many sex scenes in the film and whether there was an intimacy coordinator on set. “Nowadays, there’s always an intimacy coordinator, so that’s really interesting. I think, specifically, we had an LGBT coordinator so they were familiar with language that might be a little bit different,” responded Luke. “It’s like any scene with any actor,…

Bros star Billy Eichner has called out the US Supreme Court and Justice Clarence Thomas in a passionate speech. On 24 June, the court delivered a devasting blow to human rights when it overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade – which legalised abortion nationwide. “The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives,” the Supreme Court wrote in a document. Alongside the harmful decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Justice Thomas…
