If you like being mindful of the things you consume, media included, then it might help to know which among the many streaming services out there are inclusive. Unlike, say, Netflix, which has a shaky relationship with the LGBTQ+ community, other services make it a point to uplift marginalized voices. Some of them have dedicated platforms, like Allblk (which centers on Black-made content), Revry (LGBTQ+ content), and Univision (Spanish-language content). But even others take a more general approach by covering as many bases as they can. Mubi and Magnolia Selects, for instance, house some of the best foreign and diverse titles in film today. Below, we list the most inclusive streaming services available right now.
