As Pride Month is upon us, cities around the United States are hosting parades and many other events to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and its history as well as its continuing fight for equal rights despite what advocates see as "bullying" from the Trump administration.
Pride Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York, when police raided the Stonewall Inn, a prominent gay bar in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. The subsequent protests are credited with a shift in LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S.

Paramount, UFC strike multi-billion dollar deal on streaming
Paramount is getting into the live fighting business in a big way, striking a mega deal with UFC for the rights to stream the league's top events. The seven-year deal, beginning in 2026 and valued at more than $1 billion pear year, was announced by the newly formed media conglomerate this week, granting it exclusive rights to distribute UFC's full slate of 13 marquee numbered events and 30 Fight Nights via its direct-to-consumer streaming platform, Paramount+. A select number of events will be be simulcast on CBS, the company said. As part of the deal, UFC and Paramount will move away from UFC's existing pay-per-view model and access to UFC streams will come at no additional cost to U.S. subscribers of Paramount+, the company said. The deal is an aggressive move further into live sports by the David Ellison-led Paramount, which last week closed a merger with fellow entertainment giant Skydance. The Paramount, Skydance merger has been a source of controversy, given the company's promises to retool CBS News and scale back corporate diversity policies to win approval from President Trump's administration.

Paramount strikes 7-year, $7.7 billion deal to stream UFC
Paramount Global acquired the U.S. rights to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) for $7.7 billion over seven years, the company announced Monday. Why it matters: The deal, which starts next year, was announced less than a week after Paramount completed its long-awaited merger with Skydance Media. It took Skydance and Paramount executives months of controversial wrangling to get regulatory approval for the deal from President Trump's Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Reality check: UFC CEO Dana White, a Trump ally, and UFC parent TKO were reportedly in discussions with Netflix and Amazon about a large-scale deal for months. TKO Group is a publicly traded holding company that includes UFC and WWE. Endeavor, the talent and entertainment company, is the majority shareholder in TKO. Zoom in: The deal will see all 43 annual UFC live events made available exclusively on Paramount+. Previously, UFC matches were available via pay-per-view on ESPN+. The new Paramount deal will eliminate the pay-per-view model used by ESPN in its current deal to stream UFC fights, making all events available on Paramount+ at no additional cost. In a statement, Paramount said the distribution shift, "will unlock greater accessibility and discoverability for sports fans and provide an important catalyst for driving engagement and refurther subscriber growth for Paramount+." Zoom out: The deal marks the first big move for Paramount under its new leadership team, which took effect last week with the deal close. Paramount's new CEO is Skydance CEO David Ellison. Executives from RedBird Capital Partners, which helped finance Skydance's bid for Paramount, occupy other top leadership spots. The big picture: The deal marks the latest in a mega-shuffling of U.S. fighting rights over the past few years. Netflix last year struck a more than $5 billion, 10-year deal with the WWE to air "Monday Night Raw," one of TV's longest-running weekly episodic programs. Last week, ESPN announced a new $1.6 billion deal with WWE to distribute its flagship event, Wrestlemania, and other marquee events over the next five years.
