Its Pride Month and to celebrate January Green brings us a great conversation with comedian Julia Scotti & director Susan Sandler about their new documentary Julia Scotti: Funny That Way, a tender and funny story of the triumphant comeback of transgender standup comedian Julia Scotti. In our Women Crush Wednesdays Spotlight, Leah Curney tells us why Annunziata is crushing it.

Hosts Tammy Reese and Janine McGoldrick discuss GLAAD's Diversity On Demand partnership with the cable television industry to pay tribute to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans by shining a spotlight on compelling LGBT programming and films. Our recommendations include Selena: The Series, American Horror Story and The Irregulars.
