About PRIDE

On Pride, host Caitlynn McDaniel deep dives into the LGBTQ+ stories lighting up our screens — and the people who bring them to life. Each week, she sits down with the stars we love, the creators behind the scenes, and the voices changing the way stories are told. From on-screen firsts to behind-the-scenes breakthroughs, Pride is where iconic characters, coded moments, and groundbreaking storytelling all come together.Whether it’s a rom-com kiss that made you feel seen, a coming-out arc that hit too close to home, or a soundtrack that screamed queer joy — we’re celebrating it all, and the people making it happen.Because representation isn’t extra — it’s everything.
