Pride season is ramping up! Although it’ll be another year of creative and exciting virtual events and celebrations, we’re also taking a moment to celebrate some of our industry queers helping to promote better representation in pop culture for the entire LGBTQ2S+ community.
With the entertainment industry recognizing the need for more diverse storytelling and better representation both on screen and in writing rooms, LGBTQ2S+ representation in the media is better than ever before. Of course, there is still more work to be done, we’re celebrating the faces and people who are leading the way in better LGBTQ2S+ representation.
