Paramount+ is also shining a light on Queer to Stay: An LGBTQ+ Business Preservation Initiative presented by the Human Rights Campaign, Showtime, and Paramount+. Now in its fifth year, the program supports and champions LGBTQ+ small businesses.

“LGBTQ+ business owners empower local communities and make our movement stronger,” Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, said. “By creating safe spaces and providing services and products that uplift the community, these businesses help us to thrive, especially in areas that don’t feel welcoming for LGBTQ+ people. We are so excited to announce the fifth year of this program and to continue supporting LGBTQ+ small businesses, bringing about positive change nationwide.”

A Mountain of Pride is now live for Pride Month on Paramount+.
