GLAAD study: Broadcast TV sets record for LGBTQ characters, cable flat

USA TODAYPOSE -- "Blow" -- Season 2, Episode 7 Pictured : Mj Rodriguez as Blanca, Billy Porter as Pray Tell. CR: Michael Parmelee/FXMore LGBTQ characters than ever are populating TV shows, especially on the broadcast networks and streaming services. But cable hasn't improved by that measure in the past year, according to GLAAD's 2019-20"Where We Are on TV" report.

"I am beyond thrilled, with a lot of optimism. That we exceeded the targets we set out is pretty phenomenal," GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis tells USA TODAY."It's a real testament to Hollywood stepping up marginalized communities when we have an administration that is trying to be divisive."The report's calculations are based on confirmed casting for current and upcoming series scheduled to air between June 1, 2019, and May 31, 2020.

For broadcast TV, the GLAAD report counts 90 LGBTQ series regulars out of 879 characters on the broadcast networks.More:For the first time since GLAAD began its research into representation on the small screen 24 years ago, LGBTQ women outnumber men in broadcast TV.

Some people know what bathroom to use some don’t...Much like laws feelings aren’t and shouldn’t be involved in what gender you are. I can say I’m a nba basketball star but that doesn’t make me one.

Using TV shows to spread their ideology to the youth must not be allowed. Resist!

That shouldn't be on TV for little children to see. In fact, I believe that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

Cable channels are profitable and not concerned with pushing agendas....so, no gays, no forced tolerence. Pretty simple. They stay out of politics and social issues and just entertain. Thats what a majority of viewers like.

I'd rather see 2 men holding hands than holding guns...

Hello

God help us. Progressives are trying to mainstream gender fluidity.

Seems that with the national average of 4.5% of Americans who identify as LGBTQ, these TV numbers show more than double the representative sample for LGBTQ.

I have no problem with gay people they deserve all the rights as straight person but the Trans taking over womens athletics and shoving down our thoughts ten knew genders is too much.

I have nothing against any groups, I am firmly in the “live and let live” column, but TV forcing political agendas down our throats will only hurt people and the cause they think they are helping.

I am not watching TV shows that have a overly representation of LGBTQ+.... Sorry I dont support that lifestyle.
