Emmys 2018: This year's Twitter emoji celebrates the all-inclusive power of love

After Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, this year the Emmys pays tribute to love and Pride with a same-gender couple emoji
PUBLISHED SEP 17, 2018

Emojis are the millennials' way of expressing how they feel, and keeping up with the trend, looks like this year the Emmys' emoji celebrates the power of an all-inclusive love. With a white man and a black man side by side, Twitter users are speculating if this year's emoji is here to celebrate Pride. 

Back in 2016, Twitter created a custom emoji for the host of the year, Jimmy Kimmel. The emoji, showing Kimmel in a tux with a gleaming face as he holds up an Emmy, was activated so everytime users tweeted any of the seven official Emmys hashtags (which included #JimmyKimmel, #Emmys, #Emmys2016 and #KimmelEmmys), it appeared.
