YouTube Originals is bringing Pride parties to homes across the US and UK with “YouTube Pride 2021,” a multi-hour, star-studded livestream event celebrating the LGBTQ+ community through musical performances, giving challenges, special guests, live moments and much more.
Join celebrity emcees Elton John andDavid Furnish, Demi Lovato, Olly Alexander with Mawaan Rizwan, Trixie Mattel, and Daniel Howell who will each host their Pride party from their respective YouTube channels and encourage viewers to help the LGBTQ+ community by raising funds for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, The Trevor Project and akt.
This Pride season we’re partying with a purpose by donating towards a number of organizations that support the LGBTQ+ community. If you would like to donate to one of these organizations, please find details below: The Trevor Project is the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) young people. During the month of June, we’re matching every dollar donated to the Trevor Project on YouTube, up to $250k. If you’d like to donate to the Trevor Project, use the Donate button on this video.

This virtual Pride special will also incorporate the larger LGBTQ+ community with viewer submissions. Producers at JA Films have created a microsite with a Call To Action asking users and creators to submit video content sharing stories of pride, questions for the hosts and more. Select responses will then be featured throughout the stream on June 25.
