I See Myself On TV: TV Guide's Deep Dive on Inclusion

Let's be honest: we're all clamoring for a seat at the table.

In 2018, there are more original voices -- including those of marginalized communities -- on TV than ever before, but somehow it's still a challenge for intersectional audiences to find sincere representation of themselves in pop culture. Simultaneously seen and not seen, audiences (including TV Guide staff) are constantly searching for something more, something real, something that actually connects to their individual experiences.

In that vein, TV Guide is proud to launch an initiative called I See Myself On TV that gives readers insight into the most innovative and inclusive programs on television. Each month will focus on a different intersection of identities and you'll find everything from deep dives, profiles, personal essays, exclusive videos and more to highlight the strides (or lack thereof) marginalized communities have made on TV and the in the TV industry itself.

We're beyond excited to kick off this initiative during Pride month, and you can check back here each week of June to catch up with a riveting slate of stories centered on the LGBTQ+ community. First up: Ryan Murphy's gamechanger, Pose.
