... and five other things you should know today.

The film has apparently been in the works for almost a decade, and Gordon-Levitt says that it's an dream to be joining the production. "Jim Henson's characters make you laugh and sing, but they're also layered, surprising, and wise. From Oscar the Grouch, to Yoda, to the Fraggles. I've never stopped loving his work, even as a young frisky man, and on into adulthood." [Variety]

While the figures are higher for non-acceptance of trans children across the board (9% in Nothern England, 10% in Scotland), London still tops the list at 20%. [Pink News]
