A GLAAD survey of 110 major studio films released in 2018 indicated that the overall number of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer characters increased by 5.4 percent. Compared with the wide range of diverse characters represented in mainstream television and independent film, studio pictures are failing to depict those whose sexual preferences or gender identity offers something different to the standard state of affairs.
In a new survey of 110 films released by major studios in 2018, the advocacy group GLAAD reports that gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer characters appeared in only 20 films — just 18.2 percent of releases, or 20 of the 110 films. Yet this marks a significant increase from the previous year's study that indicated an all-time low of 12.8 percent, or 14 out of 109 films.
For the first time in the report's history, there were an equal number of films that included gay and lesbian characters, with 11 films counting gay men and lesbian characters, respectively. Bisexual representation remained historically low, with characters of this description appearing in just 3 of the films studied.
The report also indicated a 15 percent drop from 2017 in racial diversity among LGBTQ characters. However, GLAAD counted six Asian/Pacific Islander LGBTQ characters in its pool, a spike from last year, when there were none.

I’m going to complain about all the KDramas that don’t have enough non-Korean characters in them.
It seems that at 18.2 percent the deviants are over represented by at least an order of magnitude. 1.8 percent would be closer to reality.
“...mainstream television and independent film, studio pictures are failing to depict those whose sexual preferences or gender identity offers something different to the standard state of affairs.”
Maybe this is because the bulk of the audiences are “standard” in their affairs? It’s pretty hard to identify with a guy who wants to whack his member off and prance around in high heels. Also, unless his behavior is an integral part of the plot, it is superfluous propaganda and the audience will not relate to or appreciate it. Any depiction of a character that is for propaganda rather than story will result in poor audience reception. (Get woke, go broke.)
I predict that we have hit the high water mark of LGBTQ depictions in high value properties. It is, after all, about making money. And, if Trump wins again in 2020, all of American culture will experience a reset.
Trilby? Isn’t that a type of hat?
She’s a somewhat forgettable actress who’s been in some TV shows and a made-for-TV movie.
She could pass for a younger version of Stephanie Lazarus, the LA cop who murdered her boyfriend’s new wife back in 1986.
Diversity Rules for Modern Hollywood:
- You must show stick-thin women taking down elite male soldiers with ease. They should talk about how “they don’t need a man” and belittle their male teammates as they do it.
- You must have every color of the rainbow in your cast, even if it doesn’t make sense for the story. The exception is white people. Those are always optional.
- If you don’t have a regular tranny character, you must figure out a way to talk about the tranny struggle at least once per season.
- You must include modern political commentary and attitudes even if it’s a period piece.
- You must bash capitalism even though your industry thrives on it.
18.2%. That’s better than 5 times their actual numbers in the general population.
Here’s the problem with including deviants: They’re deviants. They’re obsessed with them selves and their sexual state. Their crotch is their life. If, for instance, you were to include people who think they are George Washington then every second of the damb story would involve Geo. Washington...
Democrats are evil.
- about season 2 of your TV series, when you run out of story ideas, toss in a homosexual relationship thereby ruining the series and losing a large percentage of your viewers.
Were I to be in a movie and unexpectedly sandbagged by faggotry, I would walk out and demand a refund. Normal people don’t want to see queers.
And my viewing of hollyweird's new releases has declined by, oh, 100%.
