LGBTQ+ inclusion in film at a three-year low, Glaad survey suggests

The Glaad survey reveals a concerning decline in LGBTQ+ representation in films, with only 20.4% of 2025 movies featuring these characters. This drop is particularly stark for queer people of color and trans individuals, with no trans characters appearing at all. This trend highlights a troubling regression in inclusivity, which is crucial as diverse representation fosters understanding and acceptance in broader society. The findings underscore the need for greater advocacy and action to ensure films reflect the rich tapestry of human identities.
