In the News :: HBO, ABC and ABC Family Lead in Gay Characters on Television

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has reported that HBO features the greatest number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) characters on cable with a total of 10 for the 2010-11 television season. ABC is once again the leader of the broadcast networks with 11 LGBT characters out of 152 total series regular characters (7.2%). CBS is in last place with just one regular character. ABC Family and Showtime are near the top with seven regular LGBT characters each.

HBO's True Blood is the most inclusive show on television with six regular or recurring lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender characters.

The overall total of LGBT characters has increased to 3.9% on broadcast television. Of note: the total doesn't include a single Black character.

GLAAD breaks down the amount of racial diversity on scripted broadcast television series. NBC is in the lead with 32% of regular characters being people of color. ABC is in second with 26% and FOX (24%), CBS (18%) and The CW (10%) follow.

In the News :: The View Responds to GLAAD

ABC responded to GLAAD's plea that The View correct comments about HIV and AIDS made by co-host Sherri Shepherd and guest co-host D.L. Hughley made during its June 22, 2010 broadcast.

ABC issued this statement:

[D]uring a discussion about blood donation and the transmission of HIV/AIDS, a guest moderator on the show expressed his interpretation of data about one way the virus can be transmitted. The topic of HIV/AIDS has been raised many times over the show's 13 years, with many voices and opinions contributing to a conversation that we expect to continue as long as The View is on the air.

Cindi Craeger (GLAAD's director of national news): "This program reaches millions of viewers and ABC must ensure that its platforms are not used to perpetuate dangerous falsehoods that put our community in harm's way."

GLAAD called ABC's statement "evasive."
