Updated: LGBTQ Star Wars podcasts by and for queer fans

June is Pride Month, and we at Dork Side of the Force wanted to take the time and honor LGBTQIA+ people in the community who lend their voices and stories to the Star Wars fandom. Below is a list of podcasts, YouTubers, and Twitch streamers with one or most hosts who are part of the queer community.

The reason that Pride is celebrated in June is to commemorate the Stonewall Riots of 1969, which is considered to be a significant turning point in the fight for queer rights.

These podcasts and channels are for everyone, but queer Star Wars fans can find a unique, supportive community listening to Star Wars-themed conversations, games, and much more.

Check out everyone on this list and find your favorite new show!
