Last year 8.8% of the 857 characters appearing on primetime television shows identified as LGBTQ.

“The number of LGBTQ nominees at this year’s Emmy Awards is a sign that things are starting to change in Hollywood,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO of GLAAD, an advocacy group that monitors diversity in the media, including on television. Also vying for Emmys glory is gay actor Ben Whishaw and lesbian actress Fiona Shaw, a double nominee for her work on “Killing Eve” and “Fleabag.”

“These shows and performances are certainly connecting with audiences everywhere, and that is something that can no longer be ignored within the entertainment industry.”According to GLAAD’s 2018 annual report, the number of LGBTQ characters on television hit a record high last year, with 8.8% of the 857 characters appearing on primetime television shows identified as on the gay, trans or queer spectrum.
