Thirty Days of PRIDE

While pride is important every month, June is the month we single out for the biggest gay pride events to commemorate the world-changing Stonewall Riots on June 28th, 1969, which began the modern Gay Rights Movement as we know it. Similar to my 31 Days of Halloween, I wanted to put together some special TV programming for a great LGBT Pride Month.

Blue represents hour long dramas, green represents half-hour sitcoms and dramas, purple represents reality shows and red is used for special programming slots.
