Comcast Honors Pride Across Hoosier Nation 

Comcast NBCUniversal Celebrates Pride 

All year long, Comcast NBCUniversal champions the stories, organizations, and cultures that live within LGBTQ+ communities. This Pride Month, we’re celebrating how Universal Truths both bring and keep us together through our best-in-class content destinations and partnerships with LGBTQ-led and serving nonprofits who are advancing digital equity for all.  

Xfinity

Xfinity’s LGBTQ+ Film & TV destination on X1, Flex, and Xumo Stream Box is available year-round, and connects LGBTQ+ viewers and their allies to a growing collection of entertainment from across hundreds of networks and streaming services in one simple, curated experience.  

During Pride Month, we shine a spotlight on this destination by premiering new features and content collections that highlight all the great community-friendly content available across our entertainment platforms. Our theme this year, “Universal Truths Don’t Change. Love Unites.” will be centered around the universal truths that govern our daily lives like “actions speak louder than words,” “show respect, get respect,” and “we all deserve to be loved,” and the programming that brings these mantras to life.  

Other new features and collections premiering during Pride Month include curated collections of shows and movies by identity, giving viewers an easy way to find programming with characters, actors, or themes specific to one community. They can also make their viewing experience unique with the ability to theme their X1 experience with colors from one of the six community flags. Each theme changes the blue highlight bar used to orient customers as they browse through the experience, as well as the icon in the progress bar to mark a viewer’s place in a show or movie they are watching to the colors of the selected flag.  

“With our X1 experience, we can celebrate Pride Month by enjoying our favorite LGBTQ+ movies and TV shows. Together, we can embrace universal truths and love for everyone.”

Sandy Stankov, Senior Human Resources Director, Heartland Region

Queens from this season’s RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars will serve as guest editors in this year’s Pride destination, offering viewers a peek at some of their favorite LGBTQ+ shows and movies. In addition, we are bringing back other popular Pride experiences, including an updated, interactive timeline of LGBTQ+ representation in entertainment, and weekly unlocks of premium LGBTQ+ networks and streaming services including Here TV (June 3-9), Revry (June 10-16), OUTtv (June 17-23), and Dekkoo (June 24-30).  

Customers can find all these great collections, features, and more by simply saying “Pride” into their voice remote.
