Thursday, June 2, 2022 – Sunday, June 26, 2022
In Person in New York
The Paley Center presents our 2022 Pride Month celebration with a dynamic and interactive Salute to LGBTQ+ Achievements in Television, spotlighting the creative contributions of legendary icons, influential programs, and extraordinary moments of progress that have shaped LGBTQ+ representation in our culture. Our celebration will be divided into five genre categories: Drama, News/Talk/Documentary, Comedy, Music/Variety, and Sports. We will salute such pioneering programs as All in the Family, Tales of the City, and That Certain Summer, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year; storytellers including Greg Berlanti, Ilene Chaiken, Lee Daniels, and Ryan Murphy; influential creative talents like Laverne Cox, Ellen DeGeneres, and Sean Hayes, among other important figures from sports, journalism, music, politics, and culture.
We are delighted to feature a selection of the inspired period costumes from the groundbreaking series Pose. Costume creations worn by acclaimed cast members Billy Porter as "Pray Tell," Michaela Jae (MJ) Rodriguez as "Blanca Evangelista," and Indya Moore as "Angel Evangelista" are on display courtesy of Emmy Award–winning producer and costume designer Lou Eyrich and Ryan Murphy Productions.
KIDS & FAMILY ACTIVITIES:
As part of our Pride celebration, kids will have the opportunity to artistically express how they see themselves by making colorful identity clouds they can share with others. Plus work on coloring sheets with their favorite characters from Steven Universe, Danger and Eggs, She-Ra, and The Owl House.
PRIDE SCREENINGS AT PALEY:
The Paley Center celebrates the landmark anniversaries of two influential television shows in LGBTQ+ representation: the 50th anniversary of the television movie That Certain Summer and the 25th anniversary of Ellen’s “The Puppy Episode.” Both programs were game changers, inspiring the television community to be more inclusive and bring greater diversity to storytelling. You will get a chance to experience these pioneering works on a large screen, along with other series that continued their legacy of creating complex LGBTQ+ characters and narratives, notably Queer as Folk, The L Word, Pose, and Twenties.
