The CW announces they're creating a new series starring DC's character "The Ray" and specifically that he's going to be gay. Pat's perturbed about the retcon of a hero that he (and apparently nobody else) has followed for years. Ray Terrill, a human ray of light in the shadow of his famous father, the Golden Age superhero known as "The Ray" became a hero to fight evil and follow in his father's legacy. Now the new animated RAY, will be redesigned as the first homosexual lead character of CW Seed’s Freedom Fighters: The Ray. All sides of the fence are covered in this arguement

The country of Iran officially bans the playing of Pokemon GO within its borders. Deeming it an empidemic afflicting both civilians and public officials alike (among other reasons), the Iranian government has officially banned the augmented reality game.
