How comforting, then, to have streaming services like Dekkoo, Revry, and WOW Presents Plus that center exclusively on content for us and about us. Beyond the most famous few shows, we still have to go deep, deep into the menus to find any other offerings. But, while those mainstream services have done well in creating a diversity of shows, none are designed exclusively for our community. A few of the offerings include “Visible: Out on Television” (Apple TV+), “Grace and Frankie” (Netflix), and “Transparent” (Amazon Prime). Disney+, which launched last November, recently passed the 50 million subscriber mark Netflix, the largest venue of the bunch, saw its show Tiger King pull in 34 million viewers (for comparison, the 2020 Oscars had 23 million) Hulu has been polled as the service people are most likely to add in the coming months of quarantine.Īll three, as well as others like Amazon Prime and Apple TV+, have released shows that center around LGBTQ characters.
Since most Americans have been sheltering in their homes - whether through state mandates or precaution around COVID-19 - it’s unsurprising that streaming video services have seen an uptick in both usage and subscribers.
