Either, later, same-sex marriage in Lichtenstein. First though, Fierce a popular transgender talk show host, known as the Oprah of China, has been cancelled. Jin Jing has been famous there for decades, also as a dancer and choreographer, but over the last few months, many of her performances have been scrapped at the last minute. Could be tied up with an anti-LGBTQ+ crackdown in China, that's seen, amongst other things, Pride events banned, and queer content censored. Jin tells Friends24, she's also got a theory. "After one performance, when I'm taking a bow, a young man brings up the 'Rimble Flag' on my stage. Then I open the flag, I say that love is love, nothing is a gender. Maybe this movement costs trouble for me." We're also seeing LGBTQ+ activists in China being harassed by police. Meta, the social media behemoth, has admitted some LGBTQ+ Facebook content has been removed in Australia due to what it calls a technical error. Includes posts from a queer news website and links to counselling services, with users being told the site's rules have been violated, the organisations being criticised for the lack of information it's provided on this. And same-sex marriage is now a thing in Lichtenstein. A law has come into effect in the small European country between Switzerland and Austria, comes nine months after Lichtenstein's Parliament voted almost unanimously for this, means gay couples can now marry in 22 countries in Europe. No time to tell you that transgender gangster musical Emilia Perez has won four Golden Globes, and the new Archbishop of Washington is queer ally Cardinal Robert McElroy. I'm Kev McGraw, see you tomorrow. (upbeat music) [BLANK_AUDIO]
