Wynonna Earp, Xena, Vagrant Queen Join SYFY & GLAAD's Pride Month

This June brings National Pride Month, so to celebrate SYFY (along with USA Network) is partnering with the leading non-profit LGBTQ+ advocacy organization GLAAD, for a month-long celebration of representation. Starting next week, viewers will be treated to Pride-themed marathons of series Wynonna Earp, Xena: Warrior Princess, and Vagrant Queen; SYFY FANGRRLS podcasts, specials, and editorials; custom short-form videos, fan testimonials, public service announcements, and more. GLAAD will support the initiative via their social handles, across digital platforms and with PSAs featuring resource and donation links. SYFY and GLAAD are also developing a schedule of virtual talent-driven events and social initiatives that will be announced soon.

"SYFY and USA each have long histories of sharing LGBTQ stories that entertain, enlighten, and inspire and this Pride month will bring empowering content and series to fans all over. During a Pride month when many LGBTQ community members will not be able to gather in-person, LGBTQ visibility matters more than ever and SYFY and USA's content will help to ensure the spirit of Pride still shines bright."

– Rich Ferraro, CCO, GLAAD
