@bicmay #TheWeddingBanquet2025 #AAPI #Movies

I just saw the Wedding Banquet at my local #AMC & this article helps to better inform #KellyMarieTran's performance in it.

However, I don't agree with the author of the article that this film was a remake of the original.

It's an entirely different movie which is only loosely based on the original and should stand in it's own right as a #queer #AsianAmerican #film that serves as a counter point to #JoyRide (2023), which was a mainly #straight Asian American film which also had a uniquely open (for an Asian American film) #sexual perspective.

WIRED · Sex-Fantasy Chatbots Are Leaking a Constant Stream of Explicit MessagesBy Matt Burgess

In #Hungary (as in #Russia ), the ever-increasing #homophobic #repression is based on the absurd premise that “unnatural” #sexual orientation is not an impulse but a choice, or even a #cultural #fashion ,from which all #children must be protected. Such a #logic is, of course, highly extensible, and at the rate things are progressing it would hardly be surprising if, in a few years' time, it ended up isolating the #LGTB community in #reeducation #camps.

AP News · Hungary passes law banning Pride events, allowing facial recognitionBy Justin Spike

#SCOTUS will hear a #FirstAmendment challenge to a #Colorado #law banning professional #counseling services engaged in #ConversionTherapy intended to change a minor’s #gender identity or #sexual orientation.

>20 states have similar laws, which are supported by leading #medical groups. Kaley Chiles, a licensed counselor, challenged the constitutionality of the Colorado law in federal court, saying it violated her rights to free speech & the free exercise of #religion.
