With the calendar year entering the month of June, Pride events have kicked off into full swing. Companies around the world have changed their logos into pride flag versions with rainbow colors and trans flag variations to show their support of the pride movement.
Included in this is Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service Max, which will introduce LGBTQIA+ categories for shows like “Presenting with Pride,” “Pride in Every Story,” “Beyond the Binary” and “Queer Film Club.” This is all to present films and shows that the studios have that feature artists and stories that fall under such categories.
