HBO is having a Pride Month celebration through June 28 by providing 'a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies to gather, recharge, and spread joy.'
- June 21, 2020
AceShowbiz - Todrick Hall, Janelle Monae, and Kim Petras are among the stars tapped to perform as part of HBO's "Human by Orientation" virtual Pride Month series.
The U.S. network has repurposed its famous acronym - Home Box Office - to "Human by Orientation", in celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride, to debut its first-ever digital Pride event.
The new website is described as "a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies to gather, recharge, and spread joy - celebrating their queerest, proudest selves."
Fans can sign up and RSVP for free daily virtual events, from DJ sets to a drag brunch hosted by the cast of HBO's "We're Here" to queer comedy nights and more.
Stars including Todrick, Janelle, Kim, and Cameron Esposito will also feature throughout the networks program of events.
"Pride was, and is, a protest, originally led by black and brown trans women, fighting for all LGBTQIA+ people," HBO bosses said in a press release. "It's due to the activism of this oft overlooked community that Pride is the celebration we know today."
"Pride brings together the full spectrum of the queer family and it's important-now more than ever-to stand in solidarity with those in need of support."
Events will remain ongoing through June 28. For more information, click here.
