HBO Max isn’t wasting any time to celebrate Pride 2022 and has announced that starting on June 1, it will launch a full refresh of its LGBTQ+ Voices collection.
On this Pride Eve, the streamer will use the collection to amplify, uplift, educate, and inspire all members of the LGBTQ+ community — and not just in June but year round! The month-long celebration also includes free sampling of select titles available on Watch Free Episodes on HBO Max.
In addition, the collection will include custom, short-form content series produced by Human By Orientation. These series will showcase and amplify the voices of HBO Max LGBTQ+ talent such as Legendary’s Dashaun Wesley, Leiomy Maldonado, Jameela Jamil, and Law Roach, We’re Here’s Bob the Drag Queen, Shangela, and Eureka as well as Hack’s Hannah Einbinder and Somebody Somewhere’s Murray Hill and Jeff Hiller. The featured content will include: Queerness in Conversation, Culture Closeups, Serving Lewks, and Get Ready With Me.
Watch the sizzle of HBO Max’s queer content below.
As part of its Pride Month curations, HBO Max will partner with DC to host a Super Hero Pride tray, consisting of titles from the DC Multiverse that feature characters in the LGBTQ+ community such as Naomi, Batwoman, Harley Quinn, Young Justice, Constantine: City of Demons, Doom Patrol, and Peacemaker.
Throughout the month of June, HBO Max’s Human By Orientation will also partner with queer collectives across 3 markets (LA, Miami, and NYC) to bring the community back together to celebrate Pride in person.
Starting on June 4 in Los Angeles, Human By Orientation kicks off a month of Pride collaborations by partnering with The Party By Ostbahnhof on SCENE. This showstopping event about freedom, fashion, and fearlessness will feature a lineup of queer DJs and incorporate memorable photo moments from iconic HBO Max series.
On June 19, Human By Orientation will team-up with Black, queer collective, Masisi, for its Pride and Juneteenth celebration in Miami. Programming will feature wellness workshops and skincare services by Black practitioners, followed by a panel discussion titled Art and Dance Floors as a Platform for Healing, and finally a night of music and performances by Black, queer creatives.
Finally, kicking off New York City Pride weekend on June 24, Human By Orientation will partner with Brooklyn-based collectives Club Carry, xCakes, and DickAppointment to host their celebration, GARDEN. The event will start with community-centered discussions around queer nightlife and lead into a party with sets by notable, queer DJs.
