According to Gay Times, it’s the first time an LGBTQ romance as been explicitly stated in a film of this genre, and not merely implied or alluded to.

It involves mutants Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio, played by Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna respectively.

Reportedly the pair don’t have a great deal of screen time, but they are seen holding hands; and Yukio is outright referred to as Warhead’s girlfriend.

Deadpool 2 is out later this week and has so far been met with largely positive responses.
