GLAAD Study Finds Lack Of LGBT Images, Offensive Content In Films From 7 Studios

Deadline ^

[TigerClaws]

GLAAD’s has released its second annual Studio Responsibility Index that maps the quantity, quality and diversity of images of LGBT people in films released by the seven largest motion picture studios during the 2013 calendar year: 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, Paramount Pictures, Sony Columbia, Universal Pictures, The Walt Disney Studios and Warner Brothers. GLAAD found that of the 102 releases from the major studios in 2013, 17 of them included characters identified as lesbian, gay, or bisexual. It found that the majority of these characters were minor roles or cameos, and that many of these were outright defamatory representations in films such as Pain & Gain and Riddick.

17 out of 102 roles were homosexual.

Homosexuals are 1.7% of the population.

A 10x over-representation of gays compared to their population is worthy of a failing grade?

For a group called GLAAD, they certainly never seem very happy.

[Responsibility2nd]

Do these film faggots produce a list of fag-centric movies?

Good. Let them. So normal people will know what to avoid.

Also be laugh-worthy to see what failures these movies are as they bomb at the box office and lose money.

[ilovesarah2012]

I am sick of them and their whining.

[FlJoePa]

You need to use common core math. Do it again - until you get the answer wrong!

[morphing libertarian]

Exactly what we need gay mermaids, princes, fairies, and ogres in Disney movies.

You would think GLAAD would lay off Hollyweird but I guess not since no way Hollyweird is going to fight back. Thanks to Hollyweird people think LGBTs make up I believe 20%-25% of the population off be a factor of 10.

"and that many of these were outright defamatory representations in films such as Pain & Gain and Riddick."

With the movie "Pain and Gain" it was because every character in it was repulsive. Easily one of the worst movies ever made.

Obie will be overjoyed by this action//

Per the CDC...in a recent research study, by the CDC, it shows that ONLY 3% of the U.S. population is LGBT!

3% of the population gets this much media attention!

REALLY?!?!?

[keats5]

Yes. The first thing I thought when I read this article is that homosexuals are way OVER REPRESENTED in the media, according to the latest CDC report.

[SES1066]

The pressure group progression;
1) Quit persecuting us,
2) Let us do our thing in peace,
3) We want acceptance,
4) Treat us as being normal,
5) Our rights are Civil Rights,
6) We demand our rights be accepted by everyone,
7) Failure to accept our rights is an offense to us,
8) Our prior victimhood trumps your rights,
9) Kiss our A$$ you primitive rejectionists!

Here’s a good related article, about how both parties are overemphasizing the importance of the LGBT movement for their own agenda. They are only 3.2 % of the population per CDC.

Saw that story and it’s a good one.

Bear in mind that ‘any same sex contact’ during a person’s lifetime is enough for them to be categorized as homosexual.

Drunken sorority college girl experience 30 years ago? Gay.

Even with that, they still are 2-3% numbers. That means the actual homosexual population is a fraction of what the poll numbers can push it up to.

Considering the following, I'd say the queers and fagots are more than properly represented:

Queers: "We are the 2.3%".     07/15/2014 192kb.pdf

Looks to me like the "major studios" are doing them a big favor.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

And the transsexuals make up a mere 0.3%. That comes to what, a few hundred thousand?

I wonder why I haven't heard them boycotting this Dire Straits song:

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

Drunken sorority college girl experience 30 years ago?

While the "drunken sorority girl experience" is often portrayed as common in popular culture, it was a relatively insignificant experience 20 years ago; 30 years ago it was practically unheard of...it would've been relegated to a freak show.

It was only after watching several seasons of "Friends," and "Will and Grace" and their positive portrayals of LGBT people did the Left acquire enough moral superiority to claim that LGBT folks are just like the rest of us.

Thanks to Hollyweird people think LGBTs make up I believe 20%-25% of the population off be a factor of 10.

The percentage of workers in the film industry who are LGBLTs is at least 25%.

Interesting coincidence with this article as I was watching the film of the Agatha Christie novel “Evil Under the Sun” last night. Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot, Maggie Smith as a snoopy hotel owner, and Roddy McDowell as a swishy suspect in the murder. In one line, Maggie tells the Belgian detective to “cherchez la fruit” in reference to checking out McDowell’s suspicious activities. Bet GLAAD would go into complete and utter meltdown with that line in a current release. Made me laugh, though...
