HBO Max’s Human By Orientation aims to elevate and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community by encouraging people to express their proudest, queerest selves. Following the success of last year’s first-ever virtual Pride, Human By Orientation is continuing this mission with music performances from artists like King Princess, VINCINT, Raveena, Soccer Mommy, and MUNA along with queer comedy specials from Meg Stalter, Ashley Ray among others. It will also feature exclusive behind-the-scenes conversations from HBO Max originals like “Hacks,” drag performances from the queens of “We’re Here,” artist spotlights, and more.
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.
