Today is the first day of 2024’s Pride Month. Every year, June is set aside to celebrate and amplify the oft-marginalized voices of the LGBTQ+ community. To help with that amplification, Google TV and GLAAD — the world’s largest LGBTQ+ advocacy group — have partnered together to offer a curated list of movies and TV shows you can stream that focus on the LGBTQ+ community.
When you fire up your Google TV today, you will see a new section promoting this curated content. Inside, you’ll find movies and TV shows from various streaming services that are about, feature, or focus on the LGBTQ+ community. This will save you the hassle of needing to hunt around the various services you subscribe to and instead allow you just to click and start watching.
You can find some highlights of the featured content below if you’re looking for recommendations.
Meanwhile, Google TV will also have free, ad-supported (FAST) coverage of Pride parade events around the world. Even if you can’t be there in person, you can see what Pride is all about as the community celebrates!
