From 'Schitt's Creek' to 'Batwoman,' LGBTQ characters on U.S. TV are at an all-time high

"There's a lot of great numbers to celebrate, but there's still work to be done," Megan Townsend of GLAAD said. "Progress is also still found in clusters."For the fourth consecutive year, broadcast television has featured a record percentage of LGBTQ characters, according to a report released Thursday by the media advocacy group GLAAD.

Last year, GLAAD called on the broadcast networks to have 10 percent of its regular characters on prime-time scripted series identify as LGBTQ by 2020. According to its 2019-20"Where We Are on TV" report, the networks more than exceeded that goal. Of the 879 regular characters scheduled to appear this season, 90, or 10.2 percent, are LGBTQ. This is the highest percentage GLAAD has found in the 15 years it has kept such a count.

"We made a specific call, and to see the networks surpass it is really noteworthy," Megan Townsend, GLAAD's director of entertainment research and analysis, told NBC News."It's especially exciting to see the number of trans men on TV more than double this year, which last year's report really pushed television networks to do, and to see that for the first time, LGBTQ women outnumber LGBTQ men on broadcast.

NBCOUT And yet the demographic represention is relatively stagnant.

NBCOUT Hmmm. I thought TV was based on ratings... how can 3% of the population account for so much attention? tweettruth2me might’ve nailed it... agenda here?

NBCOUT I say again, thank God for my DVD collections... This unwatchable garbage today is unwatchable garbage even without the political preaching.

NBCOUT And they wonder why ratings are falling and people are disconnecting.

NBCOUT Pandering.

NBCOUT Hmmmm, it's like there is an attempt to normalize aberrant behavior. Naaaaa, couldn't be.

NBCOUT Yeah, convenient for the “growing list” , many of whom on it I’d wager are OK with environmental scientists advising the throngs to “stop having kids”.

NBCOUT Nobody cares! Stop trying to make the minority the majority It’s embarrassing on your part.

NBCOUT And the ratings have never been better... oh.

NBCOUT Old news, so 2016! What's next pedophiles? Havent shoved that down our throats yet

GLAAD: LGBTQ Series Regulars on Broadcast TV Hit All-Time HighThe percentage of LGBTQ series regulars on broadcast television in the 2019-2020 season has reached a record high of 10.2%, according to GLAAD’s annual “Where We Are on TV” report… I feel like if you count screentime, love interests and etc, it's still fairly low because I HAVE NO GOOD GAY SHIPS TO SHIP RN But tv writing in general is at an all-time low. Maybe try prioritizing the writing and let 'representation' come naturally. Quality over quantity. Note to GLAAD and - The ratings of NCIS: New Orleans declined when they made one character a lesbian. Only 2-3% of people are LGBT. Hollywood is brainwashing America.
