Close to a third of the LGBTQIA+ characters that are currently on TV in the US will not be returning, says a new report released by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).
According to GLAAD, of the 596 LGBTQIA+ characters it counted across the network and streaming platforms, 175 (29 per cent) will not be returning to the screen because of “series cancellations, endings, miniseries/anthology format, or a character dying or leaving the show”.
