Geeks WorldWide has just confirmed that Marvel Studios is in the early stages of development for Miss America, a teen superhero series centered on openly lesbian and Latina comic book hero America Chavez. 
Miss America possesses super strength, speed, flight, impenetrability, and can kick open star-shaped portals into different realities and dimensions. She joined the Young Avengers in the comics as well as the Ultimates, two Marvel teams that are reportedly being considered for the franchise's cinematic and streaming future.
\u201cShe is also best friends with the archer, Kate Bishop and has led The Ultimates which features Captain Marvel, Spectrum (Monica Rambeau) and Black Panther.\u201d

        Video game trolls players with 'lesbian toggle' that makes hilarious change to the game

Scene from 'Blogun' video game.

        CyanSorcery
    
Indie puzzle game Blobun has lesbians laughing because of a joke setting that is likely angering some straight players.
Blobun has a “lesbian toggle” that allows players to eliminate all of its lesbian content. That seems like a bizarre choice from an inclusive game developer until you realize that Stephanie, the protagonist of the video game, is gay and so turning off the lesbian content means erasing her from the game, making it unplayable.
