HBO Max has unveiled the cast for its upcoming docuseries Equal, and let's just say we're very ready for this educational binge. The series will explore the stories of LGBTQ+ activists and trailblazers — including Dale Jennings, Christine Jorgensen, and Lucy Hicks Anderson — who have worked to promote justice and equality within the queer community. It will take place during post-war America and before the 1969 Stonewall Riots. The show will include never-before-seen archival footage as viewers watch some of Hollywood's finest step into the roles of the real-life luminaries to bring their stories to light. Equal will drop in October in honor of LGBT History Month, though HBO Max has yet to announce a date. While we wait for more details, look ahead to see the star-studded cast in character!
