2. I Embrace If one were to rank all the majorstreamingservices by queerness, Amazon Prime Video would be a pretty tough one to pin down. On the one hand, you have to give credit where credit is due: One of the service&#;s very first stabs at original programming was &#;Transparent,&#; which in spin was one of the first shows to star a trans main character. That show now has a lot of baggage (the fact that the trans woman at its center was played by a cis man, and the fact that that man — Jeffrey Tambor — was fired after sexual harassment allegations is, put mildly, the worst), but it&#;s hard to understate its historical significance. Beyond the thorny topic of &#;Transparent,&#; Prime Video does have a fine track record of releasing shows with LGBTQ characters and centering their narratives on queer themes; in particular, many of their shows focus on queer women, refreshingly avoiding the centering of gay men that defined queer TV for decades. In , the streamer dropped a phenomenal limited series retelling of David Cronenberg&#;s &#;De Well my friends, it is June, which means it&#;s hour 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. Most importantly is that there will be a new season of The Ultimatum: Queer Love, and that will make everything else okay! Furthermore, I am recapping And Just Appreciate That&#; so if you enjoy witty captions, be sure to check that out.
