Non-queer shows are allowed to get as raunchy as they please (see: Bridgerton), but there’s still a squeamishness around depicting queer sex in the US. Our media companies continue to miss out on profit over their refusal to commit to queer stories! We see it time and again.

This is a great little bit of investigation! Our data reflects the same - despite comparable cost and viewership, queer shows just don’t get as much of a chance. Boots had the numbers and the buzz. Thank you @bernardosim.com !

Stories like these are why representation is so important. It's wonderful that people are feeling seen and spoken to, and that some folks are feeling inspired to come out because of this show. So glad that it's been renewed!

Statistically not a surprise, but after the buzz this show generated, I gotta say I wasn't betting on a cancellation! #SaveQueerStories

Prior to the 2024 election season, media companies predicted increased interest in queer stories (accurate to viewership trends) and greenlit more queer storylines. After, they dropped these characters in a hurry. #SaveQueerStories

It’s equal parts validating and disappointing to see GLAAD’s data align so closely with our own study’s. We hope our data can provide a comparison between how this trend functions for queer inclusion vs average. These numbers on their own are upsetting. In context, even more so. #SaveQueerStories

The more queer characters a show has, the more likely its cancellation, too. It’s so frustrating to see so many great queer-positive shows disappear despite strong interest from viewers. Thank you for continuing to speak out! #SaveQueerStories

It seems that queer characters are vanishing in groups. Shows with prominent representation often have more than one queer character (some shows, like Our Flag and Heartstopper, have 4 or more). When an inclusive show is canceled, we lose a LOT of representation at once. #SaveQueerStories

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.

Way back in the pause before this announcement, I said that if Doctor Who and Heartstopper (two cultural juggernauts) were to be canceled, it would be a very grim sign of things to come.

Both of these shows have now been reshuffled and defunded. This is de facto censorship. #SaveQueerStories

They will continue to make lists like these and they will continue to be dominated by shows with prominent queer representation.

Our shows deserve proper endings. #SaveQueerStories
