LGBT+ Twitch streamers who took part in the platform’s Pride Month celebration are disappointed by the lack of support, but the company is looking to improve in future.
Twitch created a team of LGBT+ streamers from the UK and Ireland who were added to a specific Pride Month “shelf” on the front page during the month of June, though this was located beneath other recommendation feeds and lacked promotion on social media.
Speaking to Eurogamer at TwitchCon Paris, members of this team stated it wasn’t beneficial and would like to see Twitch improve its support for LGBT+ streamers not just during Pride Month but throughout the year.
