GLAAD: too few transgender characters on TV
Submitted by Robyn on Wed, 10/28/2015 - 2:19pmGLAAD has released its yearly report analyzing the quantity and quality of LGBT character portrayals on television. Where We Are on TV 2015 found that of the 881 regular characters on broadcast primetime programming in the coming year, 35 are identified as LGB. That's 4%. Not one of the regular or recurring characters is transgender.
I guess that means we are not to expect Mrs. Hudson to pop up on Elementary this season.
The number of regular LGBT characters counted on cable increased from 64 to 84, while recurring characters increased from 41 to 58.
