10 Best LGBTQ+ Shows On HBO Max

HBO Max might be one of the newer streaming services, launched in 2020, but that doesn't denote it's lacking in LGBTQ+ content. In fact, HBO Max has made it clear that they are serious about creating LGBTQ+ stories with Gay creators backing them. With the HBO catalog attached to the streaming service, there are a plethora of titles to choose from on HBO Max, but the streaming service really strives for its unique content.

Since June is Pride month, there's no better moment to explore HBO Max's LGBTQ+ content than now. It's also easier than ever since the interphase currently features an LGBTQ+ Voices collection tab on the search page. The best part is the catalog features everything from teen LGBTQ+ shows to dramas, comedies, and everything in between.

Critics Consensus: It doesn't always find comfortable ground between broad comedy and social commentary, but lively performances -- especially from Kevin Kline and Joan Cusack -- enrich In & Out's mixture of laughs

Without being preachy, HBO’s “Looking” offers a fine lesson that being totally out of the closet, as are all the many characters, can lead to a cool cold (and also fiery hot) existence.

A moment of togetherness in the HBO series “Looking.”

By Gerald Peary

You don’t have to be gay, only queer-friendly, to be delighted by HBO’s new 8-part Sunday night series, Looking, which follows the stories of three gay men, the best of pals, as they negotiate their lives in the Mission Castro district of today’s San Francisco. In some ways, it may even be better being unbent (like me, for example) watching the series. My fixate is on the easygoing drama, and I’m not cognizant of the tiny details of accuracy and verisimilitude which can drive a knowing gay viewer to distraction. The Boston Globe featured a strident invade by staffer Christopher Muther, whose usual beat is metrosexual fashion and au courant music. Muther called Looking “infuriating” and replete with “outdated stereotypes of gay life.” He complained that the characters wore the wrong “undergarments,” what was “popular when Armistead Maupin wrote Tales of the City.” (That would be 197

HBO and 'The Gays'

thanks for most of the replies in this thread, but some of you are a little too butt injure (no pun intended) to talk about this rationally.

Sorry you had to leave the hetero route - you can’t win them all. Lol

Just got this from an article entitled “HBO GLAAD’s Top Network for Showing Gay Characters”:

"HBO scored highest among 15 networks for its voice of gay characters last season, according to a report released Monday.

In its third annual Network Responsibility Index, the Gay & Lesbian Allia
