With Pride Month coming up, Twitch is introducing a host of features for June, the streaming platform announced today.

Through the upcoming month, Twitch has prepared a lineup of LGBTQIA+ streamers to feature on the homepage. Twitch will also be streaming the 50th San Francisco Pride, one of the world’s largest celebrations for LGBTQIA+ people and their allies. The golden jubilee will be a virtual event this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It’ll feature live and prerecorded performances on June 27 and 28.

Viewers will also be able to earn themed emotes throughout June. Show your support by subscribing, gifting a sub, or cheering at least 300 bits across all channels and these Pride emotes will be yours to keep forever.

Twitch is also partnering with The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ youths. Twitch plans to donate $0.10 to the Project “for every paid Sub, gifted Sub, or Cheer of 300 Bits or more, up to a total donation of $300,000” until the end of June.

Twitch Pride T-shirts won’t be available this year, however, since the coronavirus pandemic has severely stalled the production pipeline. The Pride-themed gift card is still available for those who want a proud present for themselves or others.

Twitch Prime users will also gain access to Dream Daddy, a dating simulator where players will get to date, well, dream daddies. It’s certainly a departure from usual dating sims and will be available for Prime users on June 5.
