Bella Thorne sets an example by falling in love with people, not gender
Name: Bella Thorne, 21
Bio: Thorne grew up in the suburbs of Miami, the daughter of an Italian-American mother and Cuban-American father. Tragedy struck when her father died in an accident in 2007, when Bella was only 9 years old. The death had a drastic effect on the family and it struggled financially. To help her mom make a living, she and her siblings began auditioning for modeling and acting jobs.
Related: Mayor Jim Watson has already done a lifetime of good. Coming out is the icing on the cake.
Thorne nabbed her first role in 2007 just after her father’s death in the drama series Dirty Sexy Money. Other roles on shows such as Big Love followed before she landed a leading role on the Disney sitcom Shake It Up opposite a then-unknown Zendaya. She’s appeared in a score of projects since, including Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Road Chip, The Babysitter, Scream: The Series and Assasination Nation, as well as in dozens of commercials and print ads as a model.
Coming Out: Though she had dated both men and women in the past, Thorne self-identified as pansexual in July 2019. She explained to Good Morning America: “You like what you like. Doesn’t have to be a girl or a guy, or…you know, he, she, a this, or that. It’s literally, you like personality, like you just like a being. [It] doesn’t really matter what’s going on, over there. If I just like it, I like it!”
Making a Difference: Never one to conceal part of herself, Thorne lives a pansexual life, focusing more on how personality makes someone sexy, rather than adhering to a certain gender type or role. Moreover, she sets an example to her young fans–she has more than 21 million followers on Instagram–as a woman who doesn’t need to apologize for who she dates or loves or for owning her sexual prowess.

Disgraceful: Fired Because They’re LGBTQ
Our rights are once again on the line at the Supreme Court.
On Tuesday, the Court will hear three major LGBTQ civil rights cases that could decide how federal non-discrimination laws apply to LGBTQ people. In each case, a worker was fired –– not because of their performance or work ethic, but because they are part of the LGBTQ community.
The decision made in these cases will impact millions of LGBTQ people across the country, so it’s important to stay in the know.
Text SCOTUS to 472472 and HRC will update you as the cases progress and send you the decision as soon as it comes down this spring.
In the meantime, check out our explainer infographic and share it with friends –– it breaks down what this case is all about and why the decision will be so significant to us.
LGBTQ workers like Aimee Stephens, Donald Zarda and Gerald Lynn Bostock don’t deserve to lose their jobs unjustly.
No one deserves to be denied a job or fired simply because of who they are or whom they love, period.
I’ll personally be monitoring the Court closely in the months ahead for all our HRC members and supporters.
For the latest updates on these three cases –– and other important news impacting equality –– text SCOTUS to 472472.

WATCH: MJ Rodriguez nails “Suddenly Seymour” from “Little Shop of Horrors”
Pose star MJ Rodriguez stopped by The Late Show with James Corden to wow the crowd with vocal stylings from Little Shop of Horrors.
Rodriguez plays the leade, Audrey, at the Pasadena Playhouse until October 20, becoming the first-ever out transgender woman to step into the role. She stars opposite Broadway star George Salazar as Seymour and Glee‘s Amber Riley as the nefarious plant Audrey II.

For the uninitiated, Little Shop of Horrors follows the story of would-be florist Seymour, desperately in love with his coworker Audrey. When Seymour discovers the talking, alien plant Audrey II, he sees a path to glory, and to winning Audrey’s heart.
Rodriguez and Salazar belted out the ballad “Suddenly Seymour,” the song that solidifies their love for one another.
Let’s just say the crowd went wild.

Diahann Carroll, Catwoman, Ben Sasse, Xi, Orville Peck, Niall Horan, James Franco, Hozier, Descovy, Richard Jewell: HOT LINKS
RIP. Dynasty’s Diahann Carroll dies at 84: “Carroll died at her home in Los Angeles after a long bout with cancer, her daughter, producer-journalist Suzanne Kay, told The Hollywood Reporter.”
DOING AS TOLD. Ukraine says it is looking into Joe Biden and his son: “Ukraine’s Prosecutor General said on Friday that his office is reviewing all the cases that were closed by his predecessors, including several related to the owner of a gas company where former Vice President Joe Biden’s son sat on the board.”
PURR-FECT CASTING. Guess who might be the new Catwoman….
BEN SASSE. GOP Senator breaks with Trump’s request that China investigate the Bidens: “Hold up: Americans don’t look to Chinese commies for the truth. If the Biden kid broke laws by selling his name to Beijing, that’s a matter for American courts, not communist tyrants running torture camps.”
BUT HE DID. Trump raised Biden with Xi, stored talk on secure server: “During a phone call with Xi on June 18, Trump raised Biden’s political prospects as well as those of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who by then had started rising in the polls, according to two people familiar with the discussion. In that call, Trump also told Xi he would remain quiet on Hong Kong protests as trade talks progressed.The White House record of that call was later stored in the highly secured electronic system used to house a now-infamous phone call with Ukraine’s President and which helped spark a whistleblower complaint that’s led Democrats to open an impeachment inquiry into Trump.”
MINNESOTA. Lawsuit filed by two videographers who want the right to refuse same-sex weddings to continue in federal district court: ‘Attorney General Keith Ellison and Human Rights Commissioner Rebecca Lucero said in an opinion piece published in Thursday’s Star Tribune that Minnesota is opting not to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court because they’d probably lose due to the limited facts on record and the Supreme Court’s current composition.’
STATE TV. Trump wants his own propaganda network: “CNN is a voice that really seems to be the voice out there and it’s a terrible thing for our country,” Trump said, diverging from his speech on protecting Medicare for seniors at an event in The Villages, Fla. “We ought to start our own network and put some real news out there, because they are so bad for our country.”
JAMES FRANCO. Two women say they were sexually exploited by Franco’s acting school: “In a lawsuit filed on Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, two former students of an acting school that Mr. Franco helped create say that the now-defunct program was little more than a scheme to provide him and his male collaborators with a pool of young female performers that they could take advantage of.”
DESCOVY. FDA approves new PrEP treatment: “Descovy for PrEP provides a new HIV prevention option that matches Truvada’s high efficacy with statistically significant improvements in renal and bone safety, which can be an important consideration as people at risk increasingly use PrEP for longer periods of time,” Daniel O’Day, Gilead’s CEO, said in a statement.
ON THE RAG. This week on the gay magazines.
ORVILLE PECK. Outlaw spirit: “In classic country, the old saying is what? ‘Three chords and the truth,’” Peck says on a phone call ahead of a gig in Florida. “Country has a really long history of subversive points of view and diversity. I think it’s a stigma that people think country’s this one perspective. I don’t see it that way at all.”
TURNING BACK TIME. Sean Hayes spots “Cher” in Ellen’s audience.
CELINE DION. On “Camp” and the Met Gala: “I thought I was going to go with my sleeping bag. What is camp? I still don’t understand it. But I won.”
TAYLOR SWIFT. And the headless banana.

GEORGIA. Transgender officer sues Houston County over healthcare discrimination: “Houston County sheriff’s Sgt. Anna Lange, a transgender woman who is seeking a gender transition, on Wednesday filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against the county and its board of commissioners claiming she is being ‘denied medically-necessary care’ under the county’s health insurance plan.”
TRAILER OF THE DAY. Richard Jewell.
NEW TUNES OF THE DAY. Maren Morris and Hozier “The Bones”.
Dan + Shay, Justin Bieber “10,000 Hours”.
Niall Horan “Nice To Meet Ya”.
FRIDAY FLASH. Matt Law.
