3FROM THE DESK OFSARAH KATE ELLISFor more than 20 years, GLAAD has tracked thepresence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, andqueer (LGBTQ) characters on television. In that time, theentertainment and cultural landscapes have changeddramatically, and today we see the highest percentage ofLGBTQ series regular characters on broadcast televisionfound since expanding our count to gather morecomprehensive data 12 years ago. Additionally, recordhigh percentages of both black characters and those withdisabilities are part of this year’s findings.For the first time, this season also includes severaltransgender characters on every platform, and many ofthese characters are being played by trans actors whocan bring their authentic experiences to the role. Thisemerging representation is the direct result of GLAAD’sefforts to educate and engage the Hollywood communityon transgender representation and inclusion over manyyears.But the numbers remain only part of the story. For all theadvancement made, many LGBTQ characters still fall intooutdated stereotypes or harmful tropes.Since the beginning of 2016, more than 25 queer femalecharacters have died on scripted television and streamingseries. Most of these deaths served no other purposethan to further the narrative of a more central (and oftenstraight, cisgender) character. When there are so fewlesbian and bisexual women on television, the decisionto kill these characters in droves sends a toxic messageabout the worth of queer female stories. Indeed, LGBTQcharacters should be treated the same as their straight,cisgender counterparts by the rules of their series’ worlds.This means having the same opportunities for romance,nuanced motivation, developed backstory, and the sameodds of death. When the most repeated ending for aqueer woman is violent death, producers must do betterto question the reason for a character’s demise and whatthey are really communicating to the audience.Moreover, it is not enough for LGBTQ characters simplyto be present on screen; they must be crafted withthought, attention, and depth. These characters shouldbe reflective of the full diversity of the LGBTQ community,and we desperately need to see the introduction ofmore LGBTQ people of color (who have long beenunderrepresented), transgender men, characters livingwith disabilities, and people who live at the intersectionsof multiple marginalized identities.Make no mistake, there has been remarkable progressmade on television over the past two decades, and theadvent of streaming platforms has moved us fartheralong the road to full inclusion. But there is still a greatamount of work to be done to ensure fair, accurate, andinclusive stories, and we know there are plenty of diverseand groundbreaking stories yet to be told. GLAAD willcontinue to work with Hollywood to tell those stories –and hold the networks, streaming services, and contentcreators responsible when they do not.Sarah Kate EllisPresident & CEO, GLAAD

4METHODOLOGYGLAAD’s annual Where We Are on TV report forecaststhe expected presence of lesbian, gay, bisexual,transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) characters for the2016-2017 television season. Counts are based onoriginal scripted series airing or which are expectedto air in primetime between June 1, 2016 and May31, 2017 for which casting has been announced andconfirmed by networks.DIVERSITY OF REGULAR CHARACTERS ONPRIMETIME SCRIPTED BROADCASTTELEVISION, 2016-2017 SEASONThis season marks the 21st year GLAAD has trackedthe presence of LGBTQ regular and recurringcharacters on television by calculating their numbersin original scripted primetime programs acrossboth broadcast and cable networks, and now alsostreaming services. In 2005, GLAAD expanded thiscount past just LGBTQ characters to track trends andamass statistics for all series regular characters onscripted broadcast television which allows GLAADto identify deficits in overall diversity. In the case ofcharacters which have been announced as seriesregulars across a connected universe of series, suchas Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) on The CW’sinterconnected DC-verse series, the character is onlycounted once.As cable television and streaming series lack definedseasons, GLAAD is only able to track the presence ofLGBTQ regular and recurring characters on scriptedoriginal series. This year, the Where We Are on TVreport counts characters on scripted series airingor which are expected to air on primetime cabletelevision between June 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017,and looks at anticipated casts for the 2016-17 season.Last year marked the first time GLAAD quantitativelyassessed the regular and recurring LGBTQ characterson first-run scripted series on streaming servicesAmazon, Hulu, and Netflix. Due to the lack of definedseasons for streaming television, GLAAD includesprograms that premiered or are expected to premierebetween June 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017 and forwhich casting has been confirmed by the contentproviders. This report counts both original scriptedseries created by the content provider, as well asforeign scripted series to which providers haveacquired the U.S. distribution rights.At the beginning of the fall season, the informationfound in this report is accurate but remains subject tochange based on programming adjustments over thecourse of the television season.STRAIGHTLGBTQ95.4% (854 CHARACTERS)*4.8% (43 CHARACTERS)** TWO TRANSGENDER CHARACTERS ARE ALSO STRAIGHT

5HIGHLIGHTSTOP LINE DATA Of the 895 regular characters expectedto appear on primetime scriptedbroadcast programming in the comingyear, 43 (4.8%) were identified asLGBTQ. There were an additional 28recurring LGBTQ characters counted. There was an increase in the numberof regular LGBTQ characters on cable,up to 92 from 84. However, LGBTQrecurring characters dropped year-overyear from 58 to 50. This is a total of142 LGBTQ characters, regular andrecurring. After GLAAD introduced its first count ofLGBTQ characters on streaming servicesAmazon, Hulu, and Netflix last year,there is an increase in both regular andrecurring LGBTQ characters expectedthis season. There will be 65 totalLGBTQ characters on streaming services,up from 59.TRANGENDER PEOPLE WOMEN This season, 44% of regular characterson primetime broadcast will be femalecharacters. This is an increase of onepercentage point from the previous year,but still significantly underrepresents thepercentage of women in the population. The number of regular and recurringlesbian and bisexual women is downfrom last year on both broadcast andcable after a very deadly year for queerfemale characters, from a combined 98across both platforms last year to 92 thisyear.RACE & ETHNICITY Cable and streaming services need toinclude more racially diverse LGBTQcharacters, as an overwhelming majorityof LGBTQ characters on each platform(72% and 71% respectively) are countedas white. Overall racial diversity hasimproved with 36% (325) of 895regular characters counted on broadcastprogramming being people of color, athree-point increase from the previousyear.GLAAD found that 20% (180) of regularcharacters on primetime broadcastprogramming will be black, the highestpercentage since GLAAD begancompiling comprehensive racial data12 years ago. However, black womenremain underrepresented with only 69(38%) black characters being female.This year, there will be regular andrecurring transgender characters onall three platforms tracked (broadcast,cable, streaming). There are three transcharacters counted on broadcast, six oncable, and seven on streaming originalseries. Of the 16, four are transgendermen.DISABILITY The percentage of regular broadcastcharacters living with a disability isup this year from 0.9% to 1.7%, thehighest percentage since GLAAD begantracking disability statistics in 2010.Each platform has one LGBTQ characterdepicted as HIV-positive, though onlybroadcast counts the character as aregular (Oliver on ABC’s How to GetAway with Murder).

6SUMMARY OFBROADCASTFINDINGSJAMAL LYON (JUSSIESMOLLETT), FOX’S EMPIRE Of 895 series regular characters counted on118 primetime scripted shows on the broadcastnetworks (ABC, CBS, The CW, FOX, and NBC),43 characters are LGBTQ. This is an increase from35 reported last year. The overall percentage of LGBTQ regularcharacters on scripted broadcast series is 4.8%,an increase of eight-tenths of a percentagepoint from the previous year. This is the highestpercentage of LGBTQ series regulars GLAAD hasever found. GLAAD counted an additional 28 recurringLGBTQ characters on scripted primetime broadcastprogramming. ABC posts the highest percentage of LGBTQregular characters of all five broadcast networkswith 7.3%. FOX has the second highest percentage of LGBTQregulars (6.4%), which is still above the percentageof LGBTQ regulars on broadcast as a whole. The CW is third with 4.3% of its series regularscounted as LGBTQ, and NBC follows at 3.9%. CBScomes in last at 2.2%. Gay men still make up the majority of 71 regularand recurring LGBTQ characters at 49% (35), anincrease of two percentage points from last year. Lesbian representation decreased dramaticallyfrom the previous year, down to 17% (12) ofregular and recurring LGBTQ characters. This is adrop of 16 percentage points from last year’s 33%(23 characters). Bisexual representation rose to 30%, up tenpercentage points. That is 16 bisexual women andfive bisexual men. There are three (4%) transgender charactersexpected on broadcast networks’ primetimescripted programming, two regular characters andone recurring character. Last year, there were notransgender regular or recurring characters onscripted broadcast programming.While much improvement has been made and TVremains incredibly far ahead of film in terms of LGBTQrepresentation, it must be made clear that television – andbroadcast series more specifically - failed queer womenthis year as character after character was killed. This isespecially disappointing as this very report just last yearcalled on broadcast content creators to do better bylesbian and bisexual women after superfluous deaths onChicago Fire and Supernatural. This continues a decadeslong trend of killing LGBTQ characters – often solely tofurther a straight, cisgender character’s plotline – whichsends a dangerous message to audiences. It is importantthat creators do not reinvigorate harmful tropes, whichexploit an already marginalized community.However, the broadcast networks improved this yearwith the notable addition of several trans regular andrecurring characters after completely excluding them theprevious year. Notably, all three trans characters areplayed by actresses who are themselves transgender.Laverne Cox will be a series regular on CBS’smidseason legal drama Doubt as Cameron Wirth, alawyer who wants to help the underdog. The two other

While theeight-hour series originally was announced as partof the 2016-17 season, there is currently no releasedate scheduled and therefore it is not included in thisreport’s count. Additionally, while it was announcedat this summer’s Television Critics Associationpresentations that there would be a new LGBTQcharacter on CBS’s The Great Indoors, as well as acentral character exploring their sexuality on eitherThe CW’s Supergirl or The Flash, the respectivenetworks were not able to confirm the identity ofthose characters, and so they are not included here.23% (16 CHARACTERS)BISEXUAL MALE7% (5 CHARACTERS)TRANSGENDER4% (3 CHARACTERS)GLAAD’S RECOMMENDATIONSOf the platforms tracked in GLAAD’s report,broadcast was the deadliest for lesbian andbisexual women this year with at least 12characters killed since the beginning of 2016.The number of female characters forecastfor the 2016-17 season as compared to lastyear make it clear that broadcast networkshave not done enough to recover. We wouldlike to see more lesbian and bisexual womenadded to broadcast series going forward.It is important that these characters exist insignificant roles that are able to make a largerimpact than recurring characters who onlyappear sporadically in special episodes. Whilebroadcast did improve year-over-year and nowcounts three transgender characters, networksmust go further by introducing transgendermale characters, as they remain largelyinvisible in mainstream media.

8SUMMARY OFCABLEFINDINGSLEONARD PINE(MICHAEL K.WILLIAMS),SUNDANCETV’SHAP AND LEONARD The number of LGBTQ regular characters on scriptedcable programs rose, with 92 this year from 84the previous year. Recurring characters, however,decreased from 58 to 50. This brings the overallcount to 142 regular and recurring LGBTQ charactersexpected, equal to the previous year’s total. Gay men still represent the majority of LGBTQregular and recurring cable characters at 46% or 65characters (up from 41% last year). Lesbians make up 20% (29) of the LGBTQ characters,which is a drop of two percentage points from theprevious report. Bisexual women account for 25% (35) of LGBTQcharacters on cable which is up two percentagepoints from last year, while bisexual men make up7% (down from 13% in the previous report), or 10characters. Six of the 142 characters (4%) are transgender,compared to just three characters last year. Among the 142 characters counted, ten are notexpected to return due to series cancellations, format,or characters being written off but which appearedduring the stated research period.Freeform, the young adult-skewing network formerlyknown as ABC Family, is again set to be the mostLGBTQ-inclusive network on cable with the channelcounting 27 regular or recurring characters. Again, thenumbers don’t reflect the full story as while Freeformincluded several stand out LGBTQ characters, therewere also a handful which fell into harmful tropes.Showtime comes in second at 17 characters. It isnotable that those two networks account for half of thetransgender regular and recurring characters across allof cable television.Another network that has added a transgendercharacter is CMT, which acquired the musical dramaNashville after its cancellation by ABC. Jen Richards,a transgender actress, will play recurring characterAllyson, a physical therapist who helps one of theleads through a serious injury. Gay country singer Will

The series,which follows a group of teens balancing their schooland social lives with the possible end of the world,includes a leading gay character and his boyfriend.USA’s Eyewitness features two gay teens who witnessa murder; Queen Sugar on OWN counts a bisexuallead character; and the inclusive British-French seriesVersailles will make its U.S. debut in October onOvation. Among the other new series featuring LGBTQcharacters in the 2016-17 season are Animal Kingdom(TNT), Roadies (Showtime, since cancelled), Mary Jane, Loosely Exactly Nicole (MTV), Greenleaf (OWN),Guilt, Dead of Summer, Famous in Love (Freeform), andAmerican Gods (Starz).Several LGBTQ-inclusive series have been announced tobe heading into their final seasons within this researchperiod, including Orphan Black (BBC America), PrettyLittle Liars (Freeform), Black Sails (Starz), and Teen Wolf(MTV). Pivot’s Please Like Me may also come to an endas the channel is set to go off air this fall, though theseries could be sold to another network.GLAAD’S RECOMMENDATIONSAs GLAAD noted last year, we’d like to seecable do better to reflect the full diversity ofthe LGBTQ community going forward. Of the142 regular and recurring LGBTQ charactersexpected on cable, 72 percent (102) are whitecharacters. This is an unwelcome increase fromlast year’s 71 percent.

10SUMMARY OFSTREAMINGFINDINGSTIG (TIG NOTARO),AMAZON’S ONEMISSISSIPPILast year, for the first time, GLAAD made a count ofthe regular and recurring LGBTQ characters in scriptedseries on the streaming content providers Amazon,Hulu, and Netflix. GLAAD included both original seriescreated by these companies, as well as foreign seriesthey have acquired for exclusive U.S. distribution. GLAAD found 45 regular LGBTQ characters, anincrease of two from last year’s count. There werean additional 20 recurring LGBTQ characters, upfrom 16. This totals to 65 regular and recurringLGBTQ characters. Lesbians account for the majority of LGBTQrepresentation in streaming series at 43% (28characters), up seven percentage points from lastyear. This is a far higher percentage than is foundon either broadcast or cable. Gay men make up 23% (15) of those 65characters, down from 39% in the previous year. Bisexual women make up 20% (13) of LGBTQrepresentations with bisexual men at 6% (four). Thisis up from 15% and 5% respectively last year. Streaming original series again boast the highestpercentage of transgender characters of allprogramming platforms tracked at 11% (sevencharacters). This is a four percentage point increasefrom last year. This list includes four characters who have beenkilled off their respective series, but were includedwithin our research period. All four were lesbian orbisexual female characters (Poussey Washington inOrange Is the New Black, Bea Smith in Wentworth,Cara Thomas in Marcella, Camila Barrios in EastLos High).The Amazon original dark comedy One Mississippi,inspired by series creator Tig Notaro’s life, premieredthis fall to rave reviews. Amazon’s critically acclaimedcomedy Transparent returned for a third season inSeptember. The series, which tells the story of Maura whois transitioning later in life, includes seven LGBTQ regularor recurring characters and three of those characters aretransgender (with two played by trans actors). This makes
