Hot Stuff

Focus Features announced today that the new Love-Mojo App has launched, giving users the chance to use interracial couple emoji's for the first time ever. The groundbreaking new app is inspired by Richard and Mildred Loving, a husband and wife who nearly fifty years ago showed us that love is stronger than hate and has the power to spark real change. In anticipation of Focus' upcoming film about the couple, Loving, users will be able to use this new keyboard extension on text and email, as well as platforms like Twitter and Facebook. While same-sex couples and individuals of different races have been represented as emoji's in the past, interracial couples and families had not made their debut as emoji's until now. Download the Love-Moji by visiting your app store. Users can also visit VoteLoving.com for more info.
