GLAAD’s 18th annual “State Of Television” report shows that although cable LGBT depictions are growing, you didn’t see as many gay faces on broadcast TV this year.
Today GLAAD released two yearly "State of Television" reports that map the quantity, quality, and diversity of images of LGBT individuals on television.
GLAAD's "Network Responsibility Index" (NRI), looks back on the previous season and rates the networks on LGBT-inclusive content between June 2012 and May 2013.
Based on the overall quantity, quality, and diversity of LGBT representation on scripted programming, GLAAD has assigned a grade to each network a ranking of "excellent, good, adequate, or failing." Each program was reviewed for on-screen inclusion of LGBT representations, looking for the number of LGBT-inclusive hours out of total broadcast hours.
*No networks received a rating of "Excellent" this year.
