GLAAD plans to recognize the best LGBTQ representation in games via a new category for its upcoming GLAAD Media Awards, according to a press release. The annual awards show, which will be in its 30th year for 2019, will recognize video games that achieve excellence in “LBGTQ-inclusive content” in the new category, the Outstanding Video Game Award. “[The] award is given for an interactive experience that includes authentic and impactfu

GLAAD's second report analyzing Spanish-language media found that the big three networks still lag behind the rest of primetime television in LGBTQ representation. The report, titled "Still Invisible / Todavía Invisibles," counted just 19 LGBTQ characters across all of primetime on Telemundo, Univision and UniMas. With 682 characters in total, that's about 3 percent, and a marginal increase from last year's finding of 19 out of 698 characters. Worse, the study found that nearly a third of those non-straight characters were killed off on their respective shows.
