Matt Donnelly Senior Film WriterLGBTQ representation in major Hollywood films saw a record high this year, an annual studio study from GLAAD reveals, though diversity and trans visibility hit troubling lows.The media watchdog’s annual Studio Responsibility Index vets releases from top-grossing companies for the quality, quantity and integrity of its queer stories, and issues ratings based on performance.
None of the studios earned better than an “insufficient” rating, the report said.“Despite seeing a record high percentage of LGBTQ-inclusive films this year, the industry still has a long way to go in terms of fairly and accurately representing the LGBTQ community,” GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis said.
