I'm a little shocked about this info.
According to this research from UK based gay advocacy group, Stonewall, gay and lesbian characters are underrepresented in British TV:
A survey for the gay equality charity monitored more than 120 hours of programmes watched by the young.It said gay people were mainly portrayed as promiscuous, predatory, or figures of fun.
Stonewall said homophobic bullying in schools was unsurprising when gay people were so often depicted on TV in a derogatory or demeaning way.
The report, called Unseen on Screen, says ordinary gay people are almost invisible on the 20 programmes most watched by the young.
It says just 46 minutes out of 126 hours' output showed gay people positively and realistically.
I always thought they had a wide range of LGBT characters in everything. Think of the all gay movies that came from the UK. And hell, Queer As Folk (the better one) start there.
I'm really surprised to hear this.Source URL: https://americanendeavor.blogspot.com/2010/07/are-gay-and-lesbian-characters.html
