The number of LGBT scripted representations on the six major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, The CW and MyNetworkTV) will make up only 1.3% of all series-regular characters on the networks’ 2006-07 schedule, according to a GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) release. Out of a total 679 series regular lead or supporting characters, GLAAD counted only nine gay or lesbian characters, with seven out of the nine representing gay white men—another fact the organization condemned.
