First the good news! 2019 was one of the best years for queer representation in major Hollywood films, according to GLAAD’s eighth annual Studio Responsibility Index that was released on Thursday.
The bad news is that the films did not reflect the diversity in the community.For the third year in a row there were no transgender or non-binary characters in mainstream releases.
Last year, while the number of films with gay characters had increased, there was a decrease in characters who were lesbian, bisexual or people of colour.“Despite seeing a record high percentage of LGBTQI-inclusive films this year, the industry still has a long way to go in terms of fairly and accurately representing the LGBTQ community.
