HOLLYWOOD, October 5, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Never before have there been so many homosexual characters portrayed on broadcast and cable television, according to the latest report from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).
The 17th annual Where We Are On TV report found that LGBT characters account for 4.4 percent of scripted series regulars in the 2012-2013 broadcast television schedule. This is up from 2.9 percent in 2011, 3.9 percent in 2010, 3 percent in 2009, 2.6 percent in 2008 and 1.1 percent in 2007.
GLAAD’s study reviewed 97 scripted television programs scheduled to air this upcoming season on broadcast networks, and counted a total of 701 series regular characters. Thirty-one of those are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT), as are an additional 19 recurring characters.
ABC has the highest amount with 5.2 percent (10 out of 194) of their regular characters identifying as LGBT. After leading last year, Fox is in second with six LGBT characters out of 118 total series regulars (5.1 percent). However, Fox’s Glee is the broadcast television show with the most number of regular and recurring homosexual characters, with six.
True Blood was the cable TV show with the highest number of homosexual characters.
GLAAD also said that CBS “improved” and will feature four LGBT characters out of 142 series regulars (2.8 percent), up from 0.7 percent last year. The increase came after GLAAD lambasted the network in a 2010 report, prompting CBS President Nina Tassler to apologize and pledge to “do better.”
On mainstream cable networks, the number of announced LGBT series regular characters has also increased to 35, and will also feature 26 recurring characters for a total of 61 LGBT characters.
This year Showtime features the greatest number of LGBT characters on cable with 12, seven of which are series regulars. Once again this year True Blood is the show on cable television with the most number of LGBT characters, with six of them.
“It is vital for networks to weave complex and diverse storylines of LGBT people in the different programs they air,” said GLAAD President Herndon Graddick. “When young LGBT people see loving couples like Callie and Arizona on Grey’s Anatomy or Degrassi‘s confident transgender high school student Adam Torres, they find characters they can look up to and slowly start building the courage to live authentically.”
Ping!
“Fox’s Glee is the broadcast television show with the most number of regular and recurring homosexual characters, with six.”

So 4.4% of characters on TV (not counting the "newshole" characters) are mentally ill sex perverts; of course they are portrayed as wonderful, happy human beings, much better than nasty sicko homophobes... And yet in truth, at most 2% of the population (at any given time) are homosexuals. Now, if they would portray homosexuals as they REALLY are, and the "gay life" for what it REALLY is - that would be excellent. But no, it's all propaganda. I wonder what the % of homosexuals in the media and in Hollywood is, hmm?
"Authentically living" transexual. Right.
I cannot stand ‘men’ who talk like elementary school girls! So, I do not watch them or this crappy TV! No Ellen either! Don’t like women acting like they are sexy men!
My men need no gender counseling...!!!!...they are what God mad them.....
2ndChronicles 7:14...read and do!!
I haven’t seen any of these gay tv characters. Must not be watching the ‘right’ shows.

Won't work because as long as boys like girls and girls like boys the gag reflex at alternatives is an immutable biological reality.
You can make normal people afraid to express themselves through political correctness but you can't stop them from retching at the nauseating image of homosex—unlike homosexuality, THAT reaction is genetically predetermined.

IOW they want pure unadulterated propganda, for recruitment purposes. We do need to know about the "gay life" - but the TRUTH!
It is a scary thing when your country starts portraying the abnormal as an ideal. There are a few things that can be read about in the Bible about that too - no scratch that.
There are a few things that can be read about in the history books about that. At least until they start re-writing the history books.
How many positive Christian conservative characters??
Spirited: Bigotted, narrow-minded, hateful, heterosexist homophobes have no place in our “enlightened, tolerant, rainbow-colored, diverse” society. (sarc)
If normal people would not watch shows that feature perversion, they would soon be off the air. Does anyone bother to monitor what their teens watch?
>>....Degrassi‘s confident transgender high school student Adam Torres, they find characters they can look up to and slowly start building the courage to live authentically.”
That would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Using a girl who pretends to be a boy to find the courage to live AUTHENTICALLY!
Off the top of my head the first thought that comes to mind is: 21. All in one family. Correction: we need to factor in the two grandchildren which brings the total to 23 :-)
The Duggar Family
Lickers
Gobblers
Badda boom both bride and groom
Transformers (more than meets the eye, Transformers, freak jobs in disguise)
People enjoy watching freaks, I watch no network TV.
Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
I hate them with complete hatred;
I count them my enemies.
Also television has become the medium to reach only the bottom-feeders; most people are much more pro-active in either watching specific television programs that interest them, turning on a PC instead of the television, or doing just about anything else.
The days of thinking you can flood a few channels to force-feed deviant propaganda to a large viewing audience are dead; it died with the race/gender fictions that started decades ago. Thankfully people have a lot of options today...
