Although, we have a come a long way since 1975, we understand there’s still much work to do, and we are committed to standing behind the LGBTQ+ community.

Standing for Equality is a core value at AT&T, and we have been a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community since 1975.

Content

Diverse content on our platforms is as vital to us as it is to our customers. We want our LGBTQ+ customers to be able to enjoy and have access to content that represents their lifestyles and various backgrounds and experiences.

To recognize the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, CNN developed stories and television specials with Pride and Progress that highlighted the history of the LGBTQ+ movement and its leaders, as well as the pressing issues the community still faces today.

We are proud to support stories and storytellers that bring diversity of experiences and perspectives to life, and we are committed, notably through WarnerMedia, to fostering diversity in front of, and behind, the camera. 

 

WarnerMedia is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, as moral and business imperatives. It is essential that our workforce, content and creative partners reflect the diversity of our society and the world around us. Together, with other production companies, networks, guilds, unions, talent agencies and others in the industry, we all must ensure there is greater inclusion of women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, those with disabilities and other underrepresented groups in greater numbers both in front of and behind the camera. In September 2018, WarnerMedia announced a Production Diversity Policy which included the commitment to report on our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts annually.

View our full production policy.

At AT&T, we prioritize diversity with more than 150 targeted channels on DIRECTV, AT&T TV and U-verse, so our customers can connect with the widest array of content. For the LGBTQ+ community this includes the lifestyle and entertainment channel, LOGO.
