Oh, summer!

That magical time of year when the sun shines brighter, the days grow longer, and we all search for the perfect escape from reality. But who needs a tropical paradise or a road trip when you can indulge in the action and adventure of reality TV right in your very own living room?

Thanks to the folks at Paramount+, you can dive headfirst into a colorful wonderland of LGBTQ+ goodness, all while cozied up in your comfiest pajamas.

Some of our favorite titles that feature queer castmates include:

  • RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: The ultimate drag competition where legendary queens sashay back onto the runway for a chance to snatch the crown and make their mark in the Drag Race Hall of Fame!
  • The Challenge: Serving drama with a side of athleticism, competitors battle it out through sweat and tears in MTV’s longest-running series, all for a chance to snatch that $1 million prize
  • Survivor: Watch as cunning contestants outwit, outplay, and outlast each other on a deserted island. It’s giving wilderness realness!
  • Big Brother: The ultimate game of voyeuristic intrigue, where housemates spill the tea, form alliances, and throw shade under the watchful eye of ever-present cameras.
  • Queen of the Universe: A cosmic explosion of glamour and talent, where drag queens from across the galaxy come to slay, snatch wigs, and prove they’re the reigning diva of the celestial stage.
  • The Amazing Race: A worldwide adventure where teams race through different countries, all while navigating the thrilling twists and turns of the ultimate global scavenger hunt.

But wait, there’s more!

In the name of all things fierce and fabulous, we want you to be a part of the action.
