Rien que pour vos chevaux

Nous avons quelques nouvelles du studio indépendant italien Santa Ragione, qui avait pas mal fait parler de lui en décembre dernier. Pour rappel, leur jeu Horses est une expérience surréaliste en noir et blanc où on incarnait un jeune homme dans une ferme peuplée d'humanoïdes nus à têtes de chevaux, lequel a été brutalement retiré des plateformes Steam et Epic au moment de sa sortie. En réagissant à une interview du vice-président d'Epic, qui proclamait haut et fort tout son amour pour le studio, Santa Ragione a répondu par le biais de son compte officiel sur BlueSky : « Epic a fait de fausses déclarations concernant le contenu du jeu, a refusé de fournir des détails pour appuyer ces affirmations (...). Ils n'aiment pas notre studio, et nous ont factuellement ghostés. » Sortez le pop-corn, ça pourrait encore durer un petit moment. ER.

Virginia governor gives voters a chance to erase their state’s anti-marriage amendment

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) signed legislation that sent several potential state constitutional amendments to voters this past Friday, including a measure that would remove the state’s ban on same-sex marriage from the state constitution, which was originally passed in 2006.

While the state’s ban on marriage equality has not been enforced since the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision, which legalized marriage equality in all 50 states, advocates for its removal say that it is discriminatory and could be enforced if Obergefell were ever overturned.

This GOP candidate went all-in on trans issues. A new poll shows that it might backfire.

“We want to make sure that Virginia families know that here in Virginia, it is not just a Supreme Court decision that protects them, but it is also our state constitution,” Spanberger said in comments during the signing ceremony. “It’ll be a big step for Virginia to ensure that every family knows that Virginia is a place that welcomes them, appreciates them, and sees them for the wonderful family and Virginians that they are.”

“So before I get too emotional on that one, I will start signing.”

LGBTQ+ issues played a large role in the 2025 Virginia gubernatorial campaign, with Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears running ads throughout the election season that accused Spanberger of wanting “boys to play sports and share locker rooms with little girls” and letting “children change genders without telling their parents.”

At a debate later in the year, Spanberger pointed out Earle-Sears’ opposition to anti-discrimination laws and her opposition to marriage equality. Earle-Sears blurted out, “That’s not discrimination!” when Spanberger brought up how Earle-Sears believes “it’s OK for someone to be fired from their job for being gay.”

LGBTQ+ advocates hailed the marriage ballot initiative measure.

“Twenty years after banning marriage equality, it’s time for our commonwealth to fully complete our evolution – and finish the job on protecting marriage equality for all,” said Equality Virginia Executive Director Narissa Rahaman in a statement. “It’s up to all of us to vote on November 3, 2026 to safeguard marriage for all Virginians and remove the stain that exists in our constitution. We have come too far over the past 20 years to have any doubt that Virginia voters will support love and dignity for all couples this November.”

Spanberger also signed a bill that will send a reproductive rights amendment to voters in the fall. The proposed amendment would give Virginians a right to reproductive health care and include IVF, contraception, and abortion.

“This amendment protects families’ entire scope of reproductive needs,” said state Sen. Jennifer Boysko (D), who introduced it in the Virginia Senate.

“I look forward to spending ample time in advance of the 2026 elections campaigning to make sure that people understand the importance of this constitutional amendment,” Gov. Spanberger said last year, according to the Virginia Mercury.

Spanberger sent two other constitutional amendments to voters on Friday. One would automatically restore voting rights for convicted felons who finished their prison sentences (they currently have to appeal to the governer after their sentences are over to get their voting rights back), and the other would allow the state’s General Assembly to change the state’s congressional district map in the middle of decades in order to respond to other states doing the same, according to WOBC.

First ‘Team LGBTQ+’ medallist at 2026 Winter Olympics breaks gold medal immediately

✇PinkNews

The first Olympian to win gold for ‘Team LGBTQ+’ at the 2026 Winter Olympics has found out that a gold medal is more fragile than expected.

On Sunday (8 February) Breezy Johnson won gold for the women’s downhill alpine skiing race. The bisexual athlete was soon followed by the figure skater Amber Glenn, who also won gold. The two are among a number of LGBTQ+ athletes competing at the Milano Cortina games.

As Johnson celebrated her win, the gold medal came apart from the ribbon holding it around her neck. As reported by USA Today, Johnson said: “It’s definitely heavy. Heavier than I expected. I think that’s maybe why it broke.”

She also said: “It’s not crazy broken, but it’s a little broken.” She explained that the part where the ribbon attaches to the medal had broken. “I assume somebody will fix it,” Johnson added. In the meantime, her advice for other athletes? “Don’t jump in them.”

Keely Cashman, Johnson’s teammate, wasn’t “super surprised” given the weight of the medal. “I was like, ‘That better be a hefty string or whatever was holding it,'” Cashman said.

And Johnson isn’t the only athlete to have medal issues. US figure skating team member Alysa Liu had a similar issue with her gold medal. Germany’s Justus Strelow’s bronze medal has also broken.

Following these incidents, Andrea Francisi, the chief games operations officer for the Milan Cortina organising committee, said they’re “aware of the situation,” as reported by NBC.

Francisi added: “We are paying maximum attention to this matter, as the medal is the dream of the athletes, so we want that obviously in the moment they are given it that everything is absolutely perfect, because we really consider it to be the most important moment. So we are working on it.”

Elsewhere in the games, out athletes Paul Poirier, Luke Gibson, and Kevin Aymoz have been competing in their respective ice skating events. All three have gone somewhat viral for their routines set to iconic tunes such as RuPaul’s “Supermodel”, the Spice Girls and Lady Gaga’s “Judas.”
