During its lifespan, HBO Max never had an LGBTQ tag to filter its offerings and serve subscribers find stories about the queer community more easily: a surprising shift for a streamer named after the channel that brought us boundary-breaking works like “Six Feet Under” and the miniseries adaptation of “Angels in America.” That’s been remedied on Max, which features an “LGBTQ+ Voices” collection. You do have to scroll quite far down the homepage to find it in the collections carousel, but when you undertake, it makes searching for the queer films and shows on the streamer considerably easier. And that’s a wonderful thing because the streamer has some great ones.

Well my friends, it is June, which means it’s occasion for networks to prove how much they care about us through creating new LGBTQ+ programming, and I don’t mean just creating a “Voices of Pride” section on their primary interface that houses all the LGBTQ+ movies in their catalog as well as television they made and cancelled in the past.
