In celebration of the premiere of TRANSHOOD and Transgender Awareness Week, HBO Max is excited to announce the TRANSlation Summit.

Earlier this week, Condé Nast's LGBTQ+ brand Them hosted Out Now Live, a celebration honoring the spirit and history of Pride. Premiering on Youtube Live, and presented by Polo Ralph Lauren, the virtual event included uplifting speeches, storytelling, messages and performances from prominent members of the LGBTQ+ community and notable allies.

Today (June 26) in live streaming: A new Next on Stage, Lea Salonga visits Backstage Live! and so much more!

While the world will celebrate a bit differently this year, June is still a month for Pride. Social distancing might keep the LGBTQ+ community physically apart, but many organizations are providing ways to come together... virtually.

GIRLSCHOOL, the highly popular L.A.-based interdisciplinary festival celebrating women-identified artists, thinkers, professionals and creators, is expanding to New York City. It will take place at Industry City Courtyard 1/2 (274 36th Street) in Brooklyn on October 6-7, in partnership with Girlie Action and City Farm Presents. GIRLSCHOOL is a music festival and creative community based in Los Angeles, whose mission is to celebrate, connect, and lift women-identified artists, leaders, and voices. Fans will recall GIRLSCHOOL LA 2018 is where the viral video of Fiona Apple performing alongside Shirley Manson in a homemade “KNEEL, PORTNOW” shirt took place. Festival line-up coming soon.

Having canceled all press and USA book tour appearances, activist/author Rose McGowan is now breaking her silence in this provocative special on Revry's 'SHOOK with Ashlee Marie Preston'.  After the controversial New York Barnes & Noble confrontation with a trans activist, McGowan finally opens up about what really happened, her experience over the past year and never before heard insights about her past and future plans within the #MeToo movement.  McGowan vulnerably opens up like never before about her healing and the toll her battle has taken.  Host Ashlee Marie Preston shares “While some can only see Rose's imperfections—I'm able to see her for her intentions. I know what it's like to operate on a different frequency than everyone else. I'm looking forward to coming together with an open heart and mind.”  Tune In Friday 2/23 for the Exclusive One Hour Interview on Revry.com.
