GLAAD’s “Where We Are On TV” report is out! We’ll be sharing out the data shortly, but the numbers are not looking good.

We did a quick scan of this list and found some interesting data!
To sum up, queer-inclusive shows tenaciously continue to gather views even as other hit shows decline in viewership. 🧵

Even hit shows see a huge drop in views in the months after their debuts. That the likes of DBDA, S&B, and KAOS, which received little promotion and were quickly shelved, are still performing at >1/4 the popularity of these shows speaks to the evergreen appeal of queer stories.
These lists are always packed with amazing queer-inclusive shows. It’s funny how so rarely a non-queer show is unjustly canceled.

The cancellation of Colbert could not be a more stark example of the ways our media is restricted by those in power based on their personal agendas.
Democracy cannot thrive with censorship. Our media needs to commit to keeping inclusive voices on air.
Our partner fandoms still show up in Best Of lists a year+ after their cancellations. They are subjects of essays about the importance of diverse and queer stories.
Inclusive media matters. It’s also popular and in-demand.
Speak up for queer representation!

As we wait for GLAAD’s Where We Are on TV report, we’ve been dabbling in viewership numbers.
Though the reason hasn’t been announced, it’s hard not to read the cancellation of Queer Eye as a bad omen in our current political climate. The compassion, positivity, and inclusion the show stands for are sorely needed.

It’s interesting to note that Baby Reindeer was newly trending at Dead Boy Detectives’s release, and then Bridgerton trended for its new season on the 3rd week.
These shows competed on par with many shows that saw renewals. Yet studios seemed unwilling to give them a shot.
Though these examples illustrate the point, this is more than a matter of one poorly-performing show or another. It’s a consistent, measurable trend of disproportionate cancellations for queer shows.

As more bad news rolls in, please remember to take care of yourself.
Be angry, take action, but don’t break yourself. We need every last one of us.
A timely and important report from @_RyanGajewski about the state of anti-LGBTQ sentiment inside major studios like Pixar.
More and more, queer-positive content is being cut before it even airs. But we need it now more than ever!

“Suddenly, you remove this big, key piece, which is all about identity, and Elio just becomes about totally nothing.”
Stories about identity are relatable to everyone. Cutting diversity and depth for the sake of a “safe” product impoverishes good storytelling.
