Today, INTO is joining BuzzFeed and YouTube to re-up the telethon–only this time, it’s queer AF.
Hannah Hart is hosting Pride Live, and the star-studded three-hour special, airing for free on YouTube, will raise money for GLAAD and all the work the non-profit does to make sure LGBTQ people are not only visible but accurately represented in all areas of the media. Joining the My Drunk Kitchen star is a line-up of queer and trans influencers and icons who will perform and participate in the variety show featuring games and giveaways, all in an effort to give some much-needed attention and cash to GLAAD.
I am proud to announce ✨ #PrideLive✨ three LIVE hours of games, guests, and giveaways! Be there or be square! (Even if you're square, still be there, we are very body positive and love all shapes and sizes.)
June 29th! 🏳️🌈

I wanted to launch ‘Pride Live,’ to showcase creative queer forces – from both online and off – to deliver an unforgettable show for a cause dear to my heart. I am so thrilled to be partnered with Buzzfeed and INTO to bring this show to life.”
