GLAAD’s annual “Where We Are on TV” report was released this week, and was a bit bleak. We’re losing characters across scripted broadcast programming, and of all 468 LGBTQ characters counted across broadcast, cable and streaming networks, 36% won’t be returning due to cancellations, the miniseries/anthology format, or a character dying or otherwise exiting the show. We’ve talked a lot around here about how much these cancellations are f*cking our community, and recently listed more than 52 shows with lesbian and multi-attracted characters cancelled after one season.
But you wouldn’t know how desperately our people needs more Homosexual characters on television from doing what I do every month, which is google all kinds of combinations of new show names and networks to figure out if they’re going to be showcasing LGBTQ characters. This is something I own to do to write the monthly streaming guide. And while those searches often turn out useful information, they also deliver, inevitably, a Reddit thread or Quora thread of people complaining about there organism too many LGBTQ characters on television, or worrying that their favorite comic b
The 25 Most Essential LGBTQ TV Shows of the 21st Century
25. “Tuca and Bertie” (2019)
What it is: The dearly departed “Tuca and Bertie” was one of TV’s best shows about friendship, dating, and being a hot mess: tried and true subject matter many queer people can relate to. The titular avian duo — impulsive party animal tucan Tuca (Tiffany Haddish) and sensible but anxious ballad thrush Bertie (Ali Wong) — have one of TV’s loveliest friendships, as the two total opposites support each other through career and romantic struggles. While the main amorous relationship of the exhibit is between Bertie and her adorably square partner Speckle (Steven Yeun), Tuca is very much an out-and-proud bisexual bird, flitting around from romantic partners of all genders and species.
Why it’s essential: The best season of the show, Season 2, features Tuca entering a connection with Kara (Sasheer Zamata), a seagull nurse. Initially a positive bond, the show steadily tracks the flaws in the pairing, as Kara puts Tuca down and forces her to change to fit the mold of her perfect partner. It’s a hard few episodes to watch, but a fasci

LGBT representations on television lacking diversity according to GLAAD’s Where We Are on TV report
NEW YORK, NY – GLAAD, the world's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) media representation organization, today launched its annual Where We Are on TV report. Where We Are on TV analyzes the overall diversity of primetime scripted series regulars on broadcast networks and looks at the number of LGBT characters on cable networks and streaming services for the 2015-2016 TV season. This season marks the 20th year that GLAAD has tracked the presence of LGBT characters on television.
