The series will see the OG Cap, Steve Rogers, team up with Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes on a road trip adventure to solve the mystery behind this new villain who not only stole the shield, but wants all the Captains dead. Fans will also meet the first LGBTQ+ Captain America in a new series from Marvel Comics.ĭropping on June 2 to kick off Pride Month, “The United States of Captain America,” written by Christopher Cantwell and illustrated by Dale Eaglesha, is set to “celebrate the character’s incredible legacy by bringing together various Captains America from throughout the years for a grand adventure to find Captain America’s missing shield.” “(We’ve had) Wonder Woman fighting feminist issues, Superman fighting for just inclusion all along, Iron Man fighting during the Cold War and Captain America fighting Nazis! It’s always been woke, it’s just for the first time that fans are finding that they’re on the other side of the heat vision,” she added.“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” isn’t the only series introducing a new Captain America this year. “We’re starting to see this class of people who are saying, ‘oh, why are you politicising superheroes?’ or ‘go woke, go broke!’ What people don’t understand is that superheroes have always been political.”
“Superheroes and comic books have always been a vehicle to talk about issues that matter in ways that are relatable and accessible for everybody,” Maines told ‘Variety’. Maines will continue to build on the legacy of Dreamer as a co-writer on the upcoming ‘Superman: Son of Kal-El’ series with DC Comics author Tom Taylor. She appeared during the final two seasons of The CW series where she made history portraying the first transgender superhero in a live-action comic book adaptation. New York always leads.”Īnother trailblazing celebrity who followed the footseps of the Bridgerton star, showed up to support the movement included Nicole Maines, who played Dreamer on ‘Supergirl’. “What’s wrong with trans kids playing sports? Don’t you want them to grow up strong, healthy, competitive and take on life’s challenges? What are you afraid of? I’m asking these questions, but I’m in a position to do something about it because this is New York.
“I want new leadership in Florida that’ll change people’s attitudes and make them feel full of love and not hate,” she said at the event. Governor Hochul criticised certain pieces of legislation backed by Republicans such as Florida’s controversial “Parental Rights in Education” bill. Schumer will need to gain the support of 10 Republican Senators in addition to all 50 Democrats in order to avoid a filibuster in the Senate.
The House of Representatives passed the Equality Act in February, but the bill now faces an uphill battle in the Senate.
“As Senate Majority Leader, I’m going to put the bill on the floor and let’s see where everyone stands.” “No LGBTQ or queer American should ever face discrimination because of who they are or who they love,” Schumer said during his speech. Schumer vowed to push the US Senate to pass the Equality Act, which would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to add protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Other than the Bridgeton actress, a number of political speakers also took the stage to advocate for LGBTQ+ equality, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and New York state Governor Kathy Hochul. Golda Rosheuvel recently opened up to Marc Malkin on the ‘Just for Variety’ podcast about how a lesbian director once advised her to stay in the closet.
The Bridgerton star later went on to tell everyone present that “nobody should have to choose between being publicly out and being a successful actor”.
