GLAAD is celebrating a record year for the highest percentage of LGBT characters on broadcast television, cable TV and the web for the first time in 2018.
In its annual ‘Where We Are On TV‘ report GLAAD saw an overall 9 percent growth in LGBT characters in broadcast television history. And a 31% increase in television shows featuring the most LGBT characters from the 2017-18 season.
The report also noted more LGBT people of color were featured on TV than white LGBT characters.
“Among those characters, 22 percent are black, 8 percent Latinx [sic] and 8 percent Asian Pacific Islander, which represents a historical high for black characters and a tie with last year’s findings on Latinx [sic] characters.”
The report mentioned shows such as The Conners, which replaced Roseanne, Will & Grace, Supergirl, Empire and How to Get Away with Murder as the sow featuring the most LGBT characters on broadcast television.
The report did not mention Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, which features the first ghey male couple in Atlanta franchise history.
Prince Carter and Zachary Jones (pictured above), will be featured on the Atlanta franchise, according to The YBF.
Back in 2015, Miles Brock and Milan Christopher were introduced as the first ghey couple to star on the Love & Hip Hop franchise. They were featured on the Hollywood series.
According to The Blast, Prince Carter, who is from the DMV area, is deeply involved in the Atlanta ghey scene. Carter is considered one of the top socialites in Atlanta (I’ve never heard of him), and he has become close to LHHATL stars such as Karlie Redd, Mimi Faust, Momma Dee, Bambi and Erica Dixon.
Carter is featured in photos with close friends Lauren London and Justin Combs — Sean Combs’ progeny, who is rumored to be ghey himself.
Zachary Jones is an Instagram model who regularly works with Fashion Nova.
In related news, your auntie keeps hearing about a new reality TV series being filmed in Atlanta that features a cast of all Black ghey male doctors! I met one of the cast members, a doctor who is bound by a nondisclosure agreement. This hunky doc will make the ladies swoon. Unfortunately, he likes what you ladies like!
I think the show will flop if they don’t feature at least one lesbian doctor in the cast.
One of my New Year’s resolutions was to step away from tv, I did it and joined a book club. I’m at the point where I watch M2M and will watch RHOA. That’s it for me.
It’s seems black men are encouraged by the tv to adopt a life style that will have the dying of AIDS
That’s great advice more people should do that
Not tuhday.?
The report also noted more LGBT people of color were featured on TV than white LGBT characters.
Ok, I’m not the best with math BUT out of 100% the statistics quoted leaves 38% LGBT remaining… and I get the impression that they are the white pepo
And why is it written ghey for black people and LGBT for white people
Who wrote this??
I’ve noticed some LGBT characters seem a little forced on American tv. At least on stations like ABC, etc. it’s kinda weird to explain…like unauthentic. ?????
Like I know gay people and they’re just regular, you know? Authentically themselves…
I don’t know if it’s the writing, the acting, or what. Probably all of it.
-walks off to a meeting- ?
I agree it does seem very forced. For example on the CW the super hero daughter is gay but he just doens’t fit, it as if they just had to meet a quota.
Last book club I was in really sucked.
Black Lightning? Yep! It’s awkward as what.
Plus the sister on Supegirl!
Oh no. not again! Im gay but honestly i hate seeing gay men on love and hip hop. They always portray us to be messy fem punks. Oddly tho the Heterosexual sexual men on the show act the same way ?
I’ve been cutting down on TV too, especially sports. I catch a game here or there, but it’s saves me time just to catch the highlights at the end of the day, instead of spending 3 hours watching the game to see how it’ll turn out. That way I can catch up on my reading or maybe watch a documentery or do something more productive.
As long as they r on television n l pull the cover back in bed n know what l am getting n not shocked it is all good. I never would forget while watching my fav ID channel this chick thought she was married 2 a man she stabbed him n the paramedics took the body out the house n his fake dyck fell off. They went back n told her that her he was a she n she talking bout she didnt know that was a man bcas he always wanted 2 have sex with the lights off. Hell 2 the naw.
Yeah two reality shows is all I can handle. I love to read and we’re empty nester’s so we get to do our thing without a care in the world. Life is too short.
meet a quota.

I’m over it. I enjoy watching how destructive the American Society has become (morbid curiosity, I guess )… you would never imagine this place was founded on puritanical beliefs… it’s a ratchet ‘shithole ” now , to quote trump
(I’ve never heard of him),

lol,gm
&yes…viewers should always wonder about these reality TV casts. Reality TV is the easy “award” to offer those who are complying with the fuckery of the entertainment business
SANDRA IS THIS GAY SHOW A CONTINUATION OF ONE OF THE GAY SHOWS THAT THEY TAPED B4 BUT NEVER RELEASED, THE LIFE OR CHASING ATLANTA?………JENNY JONES!!!
the paramedics took the body out the house n his fake dyck fell off.
______________
I just fell OUT! LMAOOOOOOOO
It’s such a sense of peace when you don’t have the TV on. I don’t watch much at all! I must be getting older because NOW, the “noise” gets to be too much.
Which leads me to……what book are you currently reading? I’m STILL trying to get through The Crazy Rich Asians. Had it since July. I owe the library big!
I find it scary the way society is going and things will get worse.
Right. Very akward very forced.
Oh please Saundra lesbians are fun to watch playing basketball but make for boring TV watching.
Walking Shadows by Faye Kellerman. It’s not about getting old, it’s becoming disinterested in the agendas being pushed for me. Some of the sh!t is just too dark and I refuse to believe that people really behave this way.
In fact, they are seen in percentages that exceed those in the population. And GLAAD wants to force entertainment entities to include up to ten percent in every production.
It is basically a quota.. with a purpose and agenda behind it. It’s about indoctrinating the youth and reshaping society’s thinking by having this in their faces all the time.
Girl all that fighting and ‘argin’ on those shows are too much. Black women should NOT be portrayed this way.
Hmmmm I guess ?????
Most of the time, the gay character is already woven into the storyline you don’t really know. Except on Sandra Rhimes shows she is in your face with everything. Other shows handle it pretty well On blackish Dre’s sister is a lesbian and they did maybe two episodes about it and then moved on to regular brother sister stuff between her and Dre. Gay people exist they should be represented in TV.
But she’s gay in the comic
I swear on a stack of bibles they said that. When they were talking about it they were trying 2 keep a straight face. They showed a picture of her n she did look like a man. But u could c that ole gryl had low self esteem n was just happy 2 b with anybody.
you said that! Happy Friday boo
Prince Carter , never heard of here. The girls don’t know HER!
Chile I’m glad they didn’t release it, nothing but escorts and scammers ?????
Bloop
I can’t wait to see the they male doctor show
Can we just cancel all of the reality shows? None and I do mean none of these people are interesting enough to watch… Too much ishh on Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and Kodi to watch this crap.
You said a mouthful there.
Yeah, I dwindled down to RHOA and M2M too! I tried to give those Potomac hoes a chance, I cant get into them like that though
I feel sorry for women like that. Then my single @ss be looking at them like “wtf is wrong with me and why can’t I even get a two-letter (gm) txt.” LMAOOOOOOOOOO :sads:
Yeah, I’ve never seen two women rip each other to shreds physically or verbally bc they weren’t on a guest list of somebody they didnt like anyway…but i digress..
I watch tv ..i watch survivor how to get away with murder insecure MTV the challenge shameless
Auntie can we get a medical minute post. Why are black women 60% of all hiv/aids cases for all women And like 90% contracted it by having hetero sex opposed to intravenous drug use. Black women are something like 7% of overall population but 60% of living hiv/aids cases. Ladies we gotta watch our back these DL brothers out here trying to take us out the game!
Stop leaving the men any man responsible for your health. If you don’t want HIV make him wear a condom. Whether you think he’s DL or not. In 2018 you know the risk. And if were being honest, He may not have been Gay but a drug user and contracted it that way.
I dont compare myself 2 no one when it comes 2 relationships. Those who appear 2 b happy r not. Just like the neeleys pimped that happiness train kissing between biscuits until they couldn’t fake it no mo.
I don’t read comic books, welll not since the 90’s
For clarity, I didn’t say “men any man” I said “DL brothers”. I’m attempting to bring awareness by providing facts and doing the research. Now I don’t have all the answers, hence my suggestion to SR. Furthermore, what married couples you know use condoms?? Yet there are married presumably straight men out here having homosexual encounters and for that I hold that man accountable.
Well according to Sandras stats most black women aren’t married so its a very small number of married women contracting it. And your still missing the point that he may have very well been a drug user. Because she contracted sexually doesn’t mean he did.
Gheys make up 2% – 3% of society but yet are responsible for 30% of all paedophiles arrested and charged. Why are we having to have them forced down our throats on TV? Almost every show has a ghey character these days. It is sickening I have to change channels.
Almost all shows I watch (mainly true crime), almost all characters are ghey or in an interracial relationship (black man / white woman). Black women are very rare, black love almost non existent and gheys galore!!!! Oh and now we have to endure the trannies in abundance too.
And get on PREP if you are sexually active in a hot zone (i.e. ATL). Particularly if you are not pregnant and don’t expect to be pregnant anytime soon.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your point was understood from the jump, I’m just confused how you blanketed a very direct statement. There are some presumably straight men out there in committed/longterm relationships that are DL’ing and misleading hetero women and there are stats to prove it.
your right.
they can swing whichever way they want. there is nothing interesting about two men poking each other in the azz or women dry humping.
It was a joke, hot. LOL
There has always been gays in Hollywood… LOL Anyone who has ever worked in Hollywood knows that is one group that does not lack representation…
Of course there’s a high percentage of LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ characters on television because most of hollyweird and politicians are ghey. Not only that, there’s a reason why they are pushing hard for “Transgenderism” a lot of these entertainers (including athletes, world leaders, etc) males and females are the opposite genders. Not like what they’re showing you now (Bruce Jenner/Caitlyn.) I’m talking about these entertainers/athletes/politicians since they were babies/toddlers they’ve been trained to live as the opposite genders. It’s mind blowing. Don’t believe these entertainers childhood stories or them being “discovered” here and there. It’s all lies. Lies after lies, after lies. ?
Black men (ghey/down low) have the highest HIV rates then it’s African American women because of black men sleeping with both men and women. A lot of black Women are sleeping with black men who are obviously ghey but they just need a man do they don’t want to see the red flags. Their man come out of jail after 5-10 years, they don’t care enough to say “Babe let us go and get checked.” They don’t want the man to feel offended. If you asked a man to go get tested with you included and they get offended and pissed, to me that’s a red flag. Why would you not want to know if I’m good too? I noticed that on blogs whenever these statistics are brought up, ghey men always want to defend and blame the women. Because they are the number 1 carriers.
I’m all for inclusion but a lot of the characters and relationships seemed forced and fake.
Ok so this is my opinion which I’m entitled too… So, I HATE to see a man and women kissing on tv I surely hate to see boys kissing or girls kissing. It is revolting to me. Like serious biz, I cover my eyes.
Actually according too a friend of mine that works in the field its still white men.
Power to them hope they help their community with entrepreneurs
We have the same thoughts hunnie! One day we shall exchange them……
Yup! KODI!! That ish has me putting the PS4 controller down daily! LOL!
That’s a lie, because everything good we are last, anything bad we’re first!
Well according too him more funding comes with the stats mentioned above. He says in 2 yrs that should change when the drug users start being counted.
exactly lol and even reading the comment it came off “forced” mainly bc the character herself always put her love life to the wayside for being a hero and her studies. she is awkward in relationships
Just utilize Google bro and keep it moving….
Why when a friend of mine actually works in the field.
Happy Friday!!
YYYUUUUKKKKK!
Exactly and MO LIES LIES LIES DECEIT AND LIES AND TRICK KNOWLEDGE!
my thoughts exactly. look at whats happening with all the superstars’ and celebs’ kids. just as mixed up as their demented mamas and daddies
Agreed! I’m so over these sick elitist devil worshipperst forcing this crap down our throats! I gave up watching TV 2yrs ago. To each their own. I’m glad I don’t have any children in this upside-down sick society. Smh
Agreed! Smh
Aunty straight women who watch reality tv do not want to see gay doctors on their screens ?. Cut it out
Agree with this entire post.
Lmao, Zach is a cutie tho
1. I watch random content regularly just to see what is being marketed to the masses. .. trying to make sense of s*** at times but 2. yesterday I randomly caught up on some cartoons. & happened to catch the loud house. Omg. Basically , it’s about an interracial gay couple raising a black son. The theme of the episode let me know that the intention of the episode (if not the entire series. . Iv only seen that 1 episode yesterday ) anyway, the theory or intention of the show was ” gay fathers are better than straight parents, that black men really want to be with wHite men& THEN they will be great dads & husbands, black boys wanting to marry white women have absolutely no chance without changing EVERY thing about themselves, white girls are being coddled at home even though they are useless unclean attention stealing twits while white boys are overlooked and ignored so much that they are falling behind”
That is a lot if bull**** to be feeding kids
And trannies. Lord. I get so many men telling me they need/would like me to lift my skirt or verify my womanhood that I’m tripping out. I’m young enough to be worried and concerned about it. I was born with mammary glands, ovaries, naturally produce estrogen etc&Loves natural testosterone producers..,..it’s scary to be asked to prove that & see these men in skirts or women with toy dix try to ride the tails of black civil rights fights to get validation. ..
society is going to have to grab a balance. For real.
I’m lenient in saying u can love who u love. .I don’t want to fight people on that because I feel God will address it better than man. But… just shoving it in the public face? Even heterosexual people have to exhibit decorum and it feels like the last 15 years the homo/tranny agenda has become a sideshow zoo exhibit that is desperate for attention. I feel like if gays want respect they should work on exhibiting some like hetero people. Pushing this “look, look! We’re gay/tranny ” agenda is how they invite killings. Like enjoy the right to sodomize and marry one another but don’t demand additional attention for it. (Like that football player. Can’t remember his name but he is a prime example of that “look at my homosexuality” going the way it should ).. you don’t see hetero couples screaming for hetero rights. *we should though… but it has become excessive since Obama’s marriage laws..
*Hetero rights might keep unmarried families together in one household. .. that might be my new political interest..
I’m a firm believer in being the change in society /the world that you want to see…
Unfortunately I have (*very old) personal associations with too many of them…&,they are portrayed accurately. ..
for the black women they are. .unfortunately
I usually just wonder how or why they wound up on reality tv. Especially as nasty as their attitudes are and as boring as their lives/storylines are…
Really? ….
The elite want straight men to bed these evil satanic things (trannies) unknowingly and that is why I am anti the LGBTqxyzetc…
The fall of man is what is at stake here. Trannies are given every opportunity available to pretend to be ‘real’ – they can even alter their gd birth certificate now!!! Luring straight men is what is really going on here. When Satan returns to the flat earth, he wants to be able to see the destruction of man: faggotry left right and centre, trannies accepted in society, paedophilia in every household. Cannibalism … (if you routinely eat McMurder’s then …)
I am anti alllll gay / tranny activities –
The new agenda they are pushing black=gay…it’s disturbing how they are trying to program the next generation
I noticed that they could redesignate gender on their birth certificates…. I used to say that trannies were the curse of men for the lustful / sex addict ways of men… another check god made on men…
& to women for birthing so many unwanted bastard children. ..
I still believe that ..but
Allowing them to change their birth certificate though? …I’m still processing it

And that’s all we can do, is sit down and enjoy being blessed. The most high will handle the rest.
