- Our friends over at Revry tv are honoring National LGBT History Month with the premiere of the 5th annual QueerX Festival, brought to you by Lexus, October 1st through the 31st. Celebrating LGBTQ+ music, film, politics, and culture, the festival (touted as the queer SXSW by Billboard and Flaunt Magazine) will take a unique approach to its screening and panel programming this year by going virtual, live, and FREE. The 2020 event, which takes place 3 weeks before the national election, will revolve around the theme “Rise Up” and will drive political participation through its screenings, panels, and activations. You can get additional information and tickets at the official website www.queerx.com. And watch the trailer below to find out about Revry’s newest POC-driven panel series, Amplify Voices, which explores the intersectionality of black and queer identity through the lens of entertainment, sports, politics, and allyship. The panel will screen October 5 through October 10.
