Throughout the years, Pride Month has evolved into an all-encompassing celebration that recognizes the accomplishments of the LGBTQIA+ community in fostering a more inclusive world for people of all sexual identities, races, ethnicities, and religious preferences. While many individuals participate in rallies, parades, and various events to commemorate this significant occasion, there are alternative ways to honor Pride Month if circumstances prevent you from venturing outside.
In the spirit of celebrating Pride Month, Crackle has curated a list of initiatives undertaken by major streaming platforms to pay tribute to the LGBTQIA+ community. This includes a diverse range of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and special programs that touch upon a wide array of subjects, similar to our previous endeavors. Below are just a few of the available options for you to enjoy as people join in celebrating the spirit of Pride Month.
