GLADD released it’s annual report on this season of TV Gay and Lesbian characters. Last year it was only 1.1 percent of total characters and this year has leaped to 2.6 percent.
GLAAD president Neil Giuliano said, "This dramatic increase shows how far many networks have come in developing complex, multi-layered lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) characters. Both cable channels and broadcast networks were looked at in the study.
Of the 616 series regular characters across America's five main broadcast networks, 16 could be classified as LGBT. GLAAD will continue to work with the broadcast and cable networks to encourage more LGBT representations on television, and to make those representations fair, accurate and more diverse.
