Pink News/by Ross Semple     08/06/2015

"The study – conducted by researchers at the University of Southern California – examined 700 films released between 2007 and 2014 and looked at those featured onscreen as well as those involved in film production.

LGBT filmmakers were found to feature more women, people of colour, and LGBT characters in their work.

It was found that only 0.4% of leading characters were gay. Furthermore, out of a total of 4,610 characters in the top 100 films of 2014, ten were gay men; four were lesbian; and five were bisexual. There wasn't a single trans character."
