Amazon To Celebrate LGBTQIA+ Community With Virtual ‘Pride Inside’ Festival – Deadline

As the LGBTQ community and allies continue to celebrate Pride Month, Amazon Prime Video is setting a virtual fest of its own with “Pride Inside” June 27-28.
The fest, which will take place at PrimeVideoPrideInside.com, will support The Black AIDS Institute and the National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network. The fest will include performances by artists Betty Who, Vincint, The Aces and Greyson Chance. Drag icon Lady Bunny and RuPaul’s Drag Race alums Manila Luzon, Heidi N Closet, Monique Heart, Raja and Gia Gunn will also perform, teach makeup tutorials, and contribute to round-table conversations — which will certainly be a bit of shade.

Here’s how the virtual fest will work. The event will be totally immersive with a 360° environment and users will be able to create a profile that will allow them to invite up to nine friends to explore the festival together via peer-to-peer video. The virtual festival will be available globally with a maximum capacity of 2 million users.
