RESEARCH

GLAAD released its annual Where We Are on TV report on Thursday, analyzing the overall diversity of primetime scripted series regulars on broadcast networks and the number of LGBTQ characters on cable networks for the 2016-2017 TV season. It found the highest percentage of LGBTQ representation on television, since GLAAD began tracking; a record high of Black, trans and disability representation; and bisexual representation on broadcast television rose to 30 percent, up from 20 percent on last year’s report. On the downside, gay women on TV didn’t fare so well, with over 25 lesbian and bisexual female-identifying characters dying on scripted television and streaming series since the beginning of 2016.
