A new PBS series exploring LGBTQ identity will feature some Tampa Bay-area figures in an episode airing next week.

The six-episode short-form series called Prideland, hosted by actor Dyllón Burnside from FX’s Pose, has been launched on PBS Voices, a new documentary-focused YouTube Channel by PBS Digital Studios. You can see the first two episodes on YouTube now. Tampa’s local PBS station WEDU will air a one-hour special on the series, also hosted by Burnside, on June 16 at 11 p.m.

“The third episode of the [PBS Prideland] series … focuses on being transgender in the South. It features [two METRO employees] Kiala Emmons of Tampa, who identifies as a pansexual African-American woman, and Cole Foust of St. Petersburg, who identifies as a transgender man. In a roundtable discussion, they talk candidly about their relationship status, dating, asexuality and how to manage diverging expectations in the LGBTQ community.”
