If it feels like LGBTQ characters are everywhere these days on TV shows and
streaming sites, GLAAD just confirmed how true that fact is in their annual
report.

In the 18th edition of �Where We Are on TV,� the media watchdog group GLAAD
bemoaned the fact that representation of LGBTQ characters was actually down,
with 596 characters on the air compared to 637 characters in the 2022 report,
according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The group analyzed the number of LGBTQ regular and recurring characters on
scripted primetime cable, scripted primetime broadcast, along with scripted
series on the streaming platforms of Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu,
HBO Max, Netflix, Paramount+, and Peacock.

GLAAD found that between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023, there are 139 LGBTQ
characters on cable, 141 on broadcast, and 356 on the major 8 streaming sites
listed above.

The piece also noted, that for the next report those numbers will drop again,
with 24% of LGBTQ characters on projects that have been canceled or are in
the midst of a final season. Another 35 characters will not return due to
being featured on a miniseries or anthology. To break the numbers down
further, of the 596 LGBTQ characters, 32 identify as transgender, with 16
biological men [trans women], 11 biological women [trans men], and five trans
�nonbinary.�

The news comes following reports that woke shows like the reboot of the hit
Penny Marshall 1992 film �A League of Their Own� is reportedly on the
chopping block with its second and final season, THR recently reported.

The first eight-episode season aired on Amazon Prime in August 2022. The
second season will consist of only four episodes. The new version promised to
be as woke as ever with �queer stories,� according to the show�s co-creator
Will Graham.

�There was a much bigger story there that wasn�t just about a team,
but that was really about a whole generation,� Graham explained at
the time. �That�s a big part of why we wanted to make it. It was just
this feeling of � especially with queer stories, women of color �
having a story that�s really centered on joy.�

�There were between eight and nine hundred women who played in the
AAGPBL,� he added. �There were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds
more who either weren�t allowed to play or played on industrial teams
or weren�t in the right cities. There was just such a wealth of
characters.�

�That includes straight people, queer people, people of color, you
know, all the people who couldn�t get fit into the two-hour 1992
movie,� Graham continued. �I think our focus is just on telling
those stories joyfully, truthfully, and in a way that resonates with
the world now.�

Critics on CommonSenseMedia said the show was all �about sex� and called it
�disappointing.�

�It is entirely about sex there�s barely any baseball in it,� one
parent reviewer wrote. �One of the episodes starts off with nothing
but sex. It should be rated R. My son is almost 18 and we watch all
kinds of stuff (even rated R) so I�m not some prude. It was a great
opportunity to make a quality family show, but no.�

Another series that was billed as a sequel to the classic 1988 fantasy movie
�Willow� but with an LGBTQ angle has been canceled after one season, Deadline
recently noted. News of the Disney+ series being canceled came two months
after the eight-episode first season launched on the streaming site on
November 30.

Series producer Jonathan Kasdan previously spoke about the decision to
include a �queer� romance between two female characters on the show that�s
rated TV-14, as previously reported.

�What�s interesting is � I hope and I believe we�re at a moment
where you�re going to see a paradigm shift in that,� Kasdan said.
�And hopefully, the way that it�s gonna happen is that these kinds
of [queer] stories, particularly like this one, that were just
organic to the narrative we were telling, find their way in, and it
becomes less of a surprising and unusual thing to see.�

Parent reviews over on CommonSenseMedia noted that the show was much more
sexual than the previous movie and too much for their kids, which could have
led to the show being given the boot.

�Very sexual compared to the original which I was able to watch with
my young kids � dissapointed,� one parent wrote.

Another critic said, �Disney once again pushing an agenda. I love
that they have brought diversity into the show. But they need to
keep the romance out. Disney has lost focus on family friendly. I
don�t like watching people make out on a �what seems to be� kid
friendly show. I don�t recommend this show I was super disappointed,
the original was such a better version.�

While another parent reviewer wrote, �Too sexual for a kids show.
Too cheesy and trying to add lesbian relationships just to add it.
It didn�t even fit. It is just getting old.�

A report in Collider in January noted other shows on the various streaming
sites that went woke with LGBTQ storylines that have also been canceled. One
being �Paper Girls� on Amazon Prime, based on the popular fictional comic
book series by the same name about four time-traveling girls. In the new
show, one of the girls turns out to be a lesbian. Some noted the show was
like �Stranger Things� but with gay storylines. The series aired for one
season last summer before being canceled.

Most modern LED TVs have a secret control, usually a big red button.

It's not always labeled, but otherwise known as the "OFF" button.

A simple press of this button is all that is required to work the tremendous power and magic of this device.

If you can not find the button, consult your wife and she will help guide your finger.

An On/Off switch is basic technology, but newer TVs don't
even have an on/off switch! That's how inferior the
engineering is in the entertainment industry! If you can't
find the remote control you have to pull the plug.

And more on the point, some people should watch TV so they
can tell the rest of us how bad it is.
