There is a new article from the Aussie tabloid newspaper, Herald Sun, written by Alice Clarke (lol and that's her real name...) and it focuses on/takes into consideration almost all minorities, not only LGBT+.

"FOR each minority group, there is one thing that Hollywood completely buggers up. If Asian people are ever going to be a main character, they will be played by a white person. African Americans are there to be the sidekick that will probably die to motivate the hero.

Gay men are sassy, sexless and great at shopping.

And lesbians are there to give the show diversity points before catching a stray bullet.

But something interesting has been happening: the new wave of baby lesbians is demanding better representation, and it’s getting harder for Hollywood to ignore them.

No character should be immune to TV deaths, but killing off nearly a third of all characters of one variety does seem a bit extreme."

Honestly it doesn't really add anything new to the discussion, yet it's always nice to see a new article from a new news outlet reflecting on Hollywood's and the industry's behaviour. The more coverage, the more noise we generate, the better!
