"Following a season with the highest recorded number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender characters, these cancellations mean networks have to make a concerted effort to ensure the 2013-2014 season truly reflects the diversity of their audience," Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation national spokesman Wilson Cruz said.

That's a good idea. Since a little less than 2% of the country is gay, I would expect to see a little less than 2% of TV characters who are gay if these words were taken at face value. Somehow, I don't think the GLAAD activist meant what her words actually mean. Perhaps those who select network programming should consider the possibility that normal people are disgusted with perversion, and they may permanently lose their remaining audience if they continue pandering to a small, revolting minority.

There is a lesson here to be learned for the networks; but, I am pretty sure they missed it.

Very well said. I couldn’t have said it better.
