Nicholas Galitzine has a particularly vivid reason to appreciate returning to the world of Red, White & Royal Blue: his previous production involved months of explosions.

Speaking to Variety at the October 22 premiere of The Mosquito Bowl, the actor described making Red, White & Royal Wedding afterward as a “nice reset.”

His latest comments offer a warm glimpse of the experience of returning to Prince Henry, even as fans continue waiting for a release date for the sequel.

Back to Henry and Alex

Galitzine reprises Henry opposite Taylor Zakhar Perez as Alex Claremont-Diaz, bringing the central couple back for another chapter of their romance.

Their reunion follows the 2023 film, which introduced movie audiences to the love story adapted from Casey McQuiston’s novel.

For viewers who enjoyed its combination of romantic fantasy, humor and two men finding their way to each other, the prospect of more time with these characters has an obvious appeal.

Galitzine’s comments concern the contrast between his working experiences on the two films, rather than a revelation about the sequel’s plot.

As ComingSoon reports, a release date for Red, White & Royal Wedding has not yet been announced.

A Different Kind of Set

In The Mosquito Bowl, Galitzine plays John McLaughry, one of four college football players who enlist in the Marines after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Netflix’s account of the film describes their journey from celebrated athletes to the battlefields of the Pacific.

Directed by Peter Berg, it also stars Bill Skarsgård, Ray Nicholson and Tom Francis.

The film opens in select theaters on October 30 and arrives on Netflix on November 25.

That demanding wartime setting helps explain why returning to a romantic comedy could feel like such a welcome shift.

Familiar Faces and a New Director

Amazon MGM Studios has confirmed that Jamie Babbit, whose films include But I’m a Cheerleader, directs the sequel.

The screenplay is by Gemma Burgess, Matthew López and McQuiston.

Uma Thurman and Stephen Fry are among the returning cast, while newcomers include Lena Headey and Chloe Fineman.

The studio is keeping the story under wraps.

For now, there is pleasure in the smaller update: returning to this gay love story was something its leading man welcomed.

Fans waiting to see Henry and Alex together again can probably relate.

David Vulin will not face criminal charges following the April confrontation in West Hollywood in which he punched anti-LGBTQ influencer Ryley Niemi.

For David and his husband, Anthony Vulin, the development brings relief after an encounter that turned a walk with their infant son into a widely circulated video and a costly legal ordeal.

According to LGBTQ Nation, David completed a pre-filing diversion agreement.

The details of that agreement have not been disclosed by his attorney, R.J. Dreiling.

A Family Walk Became Viral Content

The couple say Niemi’s team approached them claiming to represent CNN.

What followed was an interview involving hostile questions about their parenting and their son, Ante.

Footage of the encounter showed David shoving Niemi and, in a subsequent confrontation, punching him.

The incident happened in April; the news this week concerns the decision that criminal charges will not be filed following diversion.

PinkNews reported that the district attorney’s office confirmed that outcome on October 22.

This was not an acquittal after a trial or a judicial finding that the punches were justified.

The Family Behind the Footage

Anthony’s GoFundMe appeal offered a more personal account of what the aftermath meant for two new fathers.

He described an upsetting encounter in their own neighborhood and the strain of facing legal expenses while caring for a newborn.

His appeal focused on keeping the family stable, supported and together, and on securing fair legal representation for David.

He also described how hard they had worked to build their life and welcome their baby, making the disruption especially painful.

The fundraiser has drawn more than $212,000 in donations, a substantial response to the family’s request for help with attorney fees and related costs.

Looking Toward Change

The couple now say they want a constructive outcome beyond the resolution of David’s criminal exposure.

They say Anthony is working with state lawmakers on a bill aimed at holding rage-bait creators accountable for harm.

That remains a reported legislative effort, rather than an enacted protection.

Niemi has said he may still pursue a civil lawsuit, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The broader question for LGBTQ families is painfully familiar: whether an ordinary moment in public can remain ordinary when someone sees an opportunity to turn their lives into an online spectacle.

A new documentary features three men who allege that the late Republican senator Lindsey Graham paid them for sex, presenting their accounts alongside his opposition to LGBTQ+ rights.

The CLOSETocracy, released on October 22 by The Young Turks and Swamp Watch Studios, is the subject of reporting by LGBTQ Nation and other outlets.

The allegations are not established facts, and B-Gay has not independently verified them.

What the Participants Allege

The roughly 30-minute film presents on-camera accounts from three men describing alleged paid sexual encounters with Graham.

Among them is Cory Burns, an adult performer known professionally as Sean Harding, whose social media posts drew attention to similar allegations in 2020.

Another participant, identified as Kelvin, says he was 17 at the time of an alleged encounter.

That claim introduces a serious allegation concerning someone who says he was under 18; it should not be treated as an established finding of misconduct.

The documentary itself is available through The Young Turks’ YouTube release.

What Has Been Verified?

The Advocate explicitly states that it has not independently verified the documentary’s allegations.

The publication contacted the office of Senator Darline Graham, his sister, and also sought comment from Burns; neither had responded at the time of its report.

Lindsey Graham, who died in July, publicly denied being gay during his lifetime.

That denial concerned his sexual orientation and should not be presented as a response to this newly released documentary.

The existence of on-camera testimony establishes that people have publicly made these claims; it does not by itself establish that the alleged events occurred.

The Public Record Behind the Debate

Graham’s legislative record can be examined separately through official sources.

The Senate’s November 29, 2022 roll call records his vote against passage of the Respect for Marriage Act.

The documentary’s participants point to the contrast between his public positions and the private conduct they allege.

For LGBTQ+ audiences, the public-interest question concerns the use of political power and the consequences of policies affecting their lives.

It does not require making assumptions about a person’s sexual orientation.

Sex workers deserve to have their accounts assessed seriously and respectfully, while readers deserve clarity about the evidence and its limits.

Careful scrutiny of the allegations and accurate reporting of the political record are both essential to understanding this story.
