The report takes into account LGBT+ characters across scripted primetime broadcast networks, scripted primetime cable networks, and scripted series on the eight major US streaming platforms: Prime Video, Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Peacock, and Paramount+.

HQIC Sarah Kate Ellis is disappointed, but really it's just a tactical retreat. Over two thirds remain.

All TV sucks. You have better and more important things to do with your precious time here on Earth. Stop watching TV and your life will improve by leaps and bounds. Give it a try. #KillYourTV

I am of the opinion that any channel / media company that strictly follows actual percentages for representation of the US market .... would be attacked by the left.

LGBTQW (Whatever) is only at most 6% of the population. It’s estimated to be honestly around 3-4%.

What is the Over/ under here?

How many cancelled are minority?
How many are women?
How many are Muslim?

Etc...

Why is it always ONLY about one group?

Could it be that watching shows exclusively about LGBT, etc.. is actually a very small audience, and not bringing in the watchers?

If the shows survive they’ll just replace the old characters with new ones equally marginal. Or more so.

In other words, the American people are rejecting the lavender mafia and their entertainment “products”.
