Throughout their year-round programming, they create fearlessly queer spaces that aim to expand dialogue and uplift the community.

These performances and specials will all live on the Human by Orientation social handles as well as in-app on HBO Max on Human By Orientation's "Your Pass to Pride 2021" Virtual Pride collection. The Virtual Pride collection, which will provide a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies, will have all virtual events throughout the month of June.
Human By Orientation will also highlight 30 LGBTQIA+ and civil rights nonprofit partners - one per day all Pride month via the Human By Orientation social handles, so consumers can easily learn more and get involved.
