“We know that LGBTQ-inclusive series can indeed be successful, as

said in response to the findings. “We know it is imperative for the queer
community, especially transgender people, to see our lives reflected on
screen to counteract the misinformation and harmful rhetoric going
unchecked by politicians and journalists. And we know that younger
audiences are hungry for shows that truly reflect the world around them.”

So stupid question but how many series period are represented in their
statistics vs last year? I mean if there are fewer shows it's not
shocking there would be less characters of ANY sexual preference
assuming all shows this year have the same number of characters as
those last year which I agree is  an assumption but I don't see
anything suggesting there are on average fewer characters per show
this year over past years...

I susepct they make the numbers up to support their premise.
