One of the multitudes of organizations across America that actively promote alternative sexual lifestyle choices as ordinary and normal, even privileged, GLAAD, is complaining that the entertainment industry soon won’t have as many LGBT characters. Originally known as the Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, the group’s focus now is on advocating for LBGT lifestyles, and it specifically concentrates its activism on making sure those ideologies are in programming, pushing for “acceptance.” However, it now is alarmed because, according to a report at the Daily Wire, soon there will be fewer LGBT characters on television. The report said GLAAD’s “Where We Are On TV” monitor cited a looming 41% drop in the number of characters that are LGBT. Last season there were 489 in the profile, but many are not returning because of program cancellations, limited appearances or being “killed off” by the writers of their shows. “There is a definite concern that it’s not going to bounce back next year and see a growth just in terms of what’s been announced up to this moment,” Megan Townsend, of GLAAD, said in an interview with TheWrap. “We have not had a ton of announcements or news about new series and returning series within the research period that would make up for some of these losses.” Her claim is that shows are a “business success” when they are “inclusive,” because more than 84 million American adults believe they are more likely to watch a show if it includes LGBT promotions. Also unhappy, the report said, was GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis, who said, “Nearly a third of non-LGBTQ+ Americans say that LGBTQ+-inclusive media has changed their perception of our community. “Today, we are at a critical juncture, with hateful rhetoric running unchecked from politicians and news media and given a falsely amplified platform, even as the majority of this country overwhelmingly supports the LGBTQ+ community. With so many diverse, entertaining and impactful series being canceled at an alarming rate, it is imperative that networks and streamers do not back down.” Nearly Half of All LGBTQ+ Characters Will Disappear From TV Next Season, GLAAD Study Findshttps://t.co/RBsVKVhgnT — TheWrap (@TheWrap) November 6, 2025 Social media commenters actually provided explanations to GLAAD, “They actually track this nonsense? Of course the shows get canceled, no one wants to have this crap shoved down their throat. A DEI statement forced into a script always causes an eye roll and channel change. If it’s subtle, no one cares. Instead, they have to go for shock value.” Other verdicts: “Call me crazy but that’s the free market. If demand isn’t there, characters and shows will be canceled.” And, “If you don’t make money, you get canned. Not rocket science.”
