ABC NEWS ANNOUNCES SPECIAL NETWORK-WIDE COVERAGE CELEBRATING PRIDE MONTH

ABC News announces special monthlong, network-wide coverage to honor and celebrate Pride Month. Starting Sunday, June 1, ABC News is showcasing in-depth reporting, powerful interviews, and original features that spotlight LGBTQ+ trailblazers, stories and issues important to the community.

Special coverage includes the following:

“Good Morning America” and “GMA3” is bringing back “GMA Out Loud!,” a special series about the LGBTQ+ community and its history, resilience and joy. It begins with “Celebrating 10 Years of Marriage Equality,” a heartfelt tribute to the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. Later, “GMA” welcomes beloved queer icon George Takei for a live interview, reflecting on the community’s progress and ongoing challenges. Correspondent Becky Worley takes a closer look at “guncles” (aka gay uncles), who are joyfully redefining family roles with warmth, humor and love. And the month wraps up with a spotlight on pride events across the country, amplifying the voices of those standing proud in the face of growing social and political resistance.

“The View” is highlighting the impact and legacy of notable LGBTQ+ voices, including recording artist Johnny Mathis, trans activist Cecilia Chung, and Sally Ride, the first American woman to fly in space and first openly gay astronaut. “The View” will also continue to welcome queer voices and stories at the table, including Andy Cohen, Andrew Rannells, Colman Domingo, Mario Cantone and Bob the Drag Queen.

“Tamron Hall” is celebrating the LGBTQ+ community with powerful conversations, including a visit from Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Jonathan Capehart, who will share insights from his new memoir about identity and discovering one’s voice.

“Nightline” is featuring LGBTQ+ voices and stories, including Olympic gold-medalist diver Tom Daley and the stars of Hulu’s “Mid-Century Modern,” Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer and Nathan Lee Graham. The late-night news program will also feature interviews with actors Andrew Rannells and Nick Kroll for their film, “I Don’t Understand You,” and singer Gloria Gaynor, whose hit “I Will Survive” became an enduring LGBTQ+ anthem.
