and welcome to the Ler, Ger, Ber, Ter, Plus
News with Pop'n'Olly. *Tut. What? And this just
in, it is now required by law that you
subscribe to this YouTube channel... Pop
did you just write this? *Erm... Yeah.
Well thanks for the fake news Pop, but we're just not
doing that. Now here's the real stuff... By
the way don't forget subscribe. Marvel
President Kevin Feige has said that an
lgbtq+ superhero will be coming to the
big screens, but what he didn't say was
whether this was already an existing
superhero or part of a brand new film. If
it's a brand new film then we could see
them making their debut in the
up-and-coming Eternals movie as Marvel
is reportedly searching for an openly
gay actor to play a role. But it could be
an existing character as a bisexual
scene from Thor Ragnarok and a lesbian
storyline from Black Panther were both
cut. But that's not the only movie
related news this time around, at the
Oscars films featuring LGBTQ plus
storylines took home big prizes, perhaps
even more stunning than that was when
actor Billy Porter took to the red
carpet in an amazing tuxedo dress. Billy
Porter explained that he once only wore
clothes in order to fit in but now he
wears what he wants and he wants to challenge
the way that people react when they see
a man in a dress. Now so many of us use
emojis and I'm pretty sure you will have
come across the same-sex couple emoji
too, but have you noticed that all of
these couple emojis have the same skin
tone? Well that is set to change with the
next update which will include same-sex,
interracial couple emojis. But despite
this positive step towards inclusivity,
the next update will still not feature
other pride flags such as the bisexual,
lesbian or transgender ones. How many of
you play video games? I'm willing to bet
quite a few, but I bet not many of you
have played with the same purpose as
Hbomberguy? After anti-trans activists
tried to stop the charity Mermaids from
receiving funding from the National
Lottery,
Hbomberguy made it his mission to
raise his own funds for the charity by
live-streaming himself playing Donkey
Kong 64 and managed to raise a
staggering three hundred and forty
thousand dollars. And not only did he
raise this amazing amount of money but
many people united around him to support
his effort, people like Cher were
tweeting about it and even sitting US
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-
Cortez joined in to watch. And now, on to
sport.
Altrincham F.C. have played in a kit which was
inspired by the pride flag. The team wore
the rainbow-colored kit as part of the
football versus homophobia campaign
which aims to make the sports more LGBT
plus inclusive. But that's not the end of
the story because the shirts are being
auctioned off in order to raise money
for 'The Proud Trust' which is a charity
for homeless LGBT plus people. And here's
a Pop'n'Olly Patreon update. I have
launched six new exciting tiers: Pixie,
Elf, Mermaid, Dragon, Unicorn and Giant for
you to choose from. Go check it out at
patreon.com/popnolly.
And talking of patreon here's a shout
out to some of my Unicorns and Giants so...
A big thank you to... Nick, Dave, Chris, Simon
and Nick, Michael and Claire.
And that's it for the LGBT+ News with
Pop'n'Olly,
but before we go... How's the weather
looking Pop? Perfect. And we will see you
next time.
Good night or good afternoon or what
ever time you're watching this... Bye.
