NBCUniversal will kick off Pride month with a new nature documentary celebrating "queer" animals.

The LGBTQ animal series called "Queer Planet" will premiere on June 6 on the media company's streaming service Peacock.

"Take a worldwide journey exploring the rich diversity of animal sexuality — from flamboyant flamingos to pansexual primates, sex-changing clownfish, multi-gendered mushrooms and everything in between. This documentary looks at extraordinary creatures, witnesses amazing behaviors, and introduces the scientists who are questioning the traditional concept of what's natural when it comes to sex and gender," the show's synopsis reads.

Actor and show host Andrew Rannells claims in the trailer that the existence of "queer" animals shows how "just two sexes is clearly out of style."

"Nature is full of queer surprises. To be honest, we should all probably get laid a little more than we do," he adds.
