Slowly but surely, the amount of content with authentic representation has been expanding. When I was a teen, I had to dig to find books that had any type of gay voices, let alone any trans experiences. In 2020, I read Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas and my world flipped.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Prosecutors have dropped a five-year gun enhancement against Alec Baldwin and Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, after the defendants argued that the law did not apply at the time of the shooting on the set “Rust.” Baldwin, the film’s star, and Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer, now face a maximum sentence of only 18 months if convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. When the charges were filed on Jan. 31, prosecutors sought to apply a statute that imposes harsher penalties for gun crimes. Under New Mexico law, if a gun is discharged in the course of a felony, defendants can face an extra five years in prison.
