Nearly a third of the LGBT+ characters to have featured on US TV over the past year will not be returning in future, a new report has revealed.
Over the period between 1 June 2022 and 31 May 2023, a total of 596 LGBT+ characters were featured on scripted TV.
Of these, 175 will not be returning in the following season, as a result of series being cancelled or coming to a pre-agreed end. The majority of these characters (140) are the result of series being cancelled.
The statistics are taken from the annual report published by the US media monitoring organisation GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation).
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+.
Sarah Kate Ellis, CEO of GLAAD, describes the significant cancellation rates of LGBT+ “disappointing”.

I always liked the queer shoplifter in Barney Miller-1970’s.
Well that’s a start! Now if they will quit pandering to the 12% that would be great!
People are sick of seeing every show, commercial and special about gay people.........................

How QUEER!!!!!!!!!
They can find employment in commercials
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.
They’ll have to get in line behind the blacks.
Its a cataclysm.
Do Normal people even watch network TV anymore? I haven’t in years.
In other news white Asian football players are not proportionally represented in the NFL
LGBTQW (Whatever) is only at most 6% of the population. It’s estimated to be honestly around 3-4%.
Every day I say...Oh...another new black commercial. I have noticed they’re been toned down...no more jiving and dancing....lol
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?
Are they shutting down HGTV network?
“Almost a third of queer TV characters will disappear”
like the lawyer joke..a good start.
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”.
Get woke, go broke.
Who needs ‘tv’?
