A major gay rights organization is pushing for 20 percent of all television characters to be LGBT by the year 2025.
According to a report called "Where We Are on TV", which was released Thursday from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), the presence of characters who identify as LGBT in television programming is key to changing hearts and minds in culture. The report cites an online survey of 2,037 adults indicating that one-fifth of Americans ages 18-34 and that 12 percent of all adults identify as LGBT or other non-heterosexual, non-biological gender categories.
GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis notes in the report that “less than one-quarter of Americans have a close friend or family member who is transgender,” meaning that many Americans “learn about trans people from what they see in television, movies, and news.”
The online survey used in the GLAAD media report is more reflective of what many perceive about percentages of LGBT-identified persons rather than the actual figures from reputable polling organizations.

To be fair, many do.
Television lost me after the rural purge when I was a kid.
I’ve got maybe three electric book reading devices in the house, a spare in the car, a spare in my wife’s backpack, one I always carry with me,and one my wife always carries with her.
There hasn’t been a television in the house since March of 1995.
10 times their actual representation in society?
CC
Don’t watch much television anyway and neither do my boys.
Down from 30% at present.
Truth Bomb!!
“Now it is: “we demand that the gay lifestyle be displayed on public airwaves.””
And on airlines.
“TOLERANCE AND APATHY ARE THE LAST VIRTUES OF A DYING SOCIETY” Aristotle
So they want 20x over representation.
Time to meet the closet again.
Hell, they are already about 50% of Hollywood anyway....
Its already like this. They have all been fat and dumb for decades on purpose.
How do you divide roles up by race, religion, sex, and sexual preference? There are some of these segments that will be unhappy if they are included as part of another segment. Splitting role up into good guys and bad guys is even more problematic. It is pretty easy to figure out who all the bad guys will be.
Let them pollute television and let it wither and die. That would be a wonderful thing for this country, IMO.
We have always been told that ‘gays’ only want to be allowed to ‘love’ each other in peace and not to rub everyones face in it.
Guess that’s not true. Who knew?
Bullying and queer bashing need to be brought back.
Trophies for first place only too.
Isn’t there already a gay channel on cable?
This trope. Already out on the innerwebz...
An online survey isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
i demand reparations for being straight and cisgendered! and free cialis!! end the oppression!!
