"Study: ABC Family has most gay characters"
For what it's worth; a sign of the times...
Whitney Jones recently reported this on the Baptist Press website:
"The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) completed its fifth annual Network Responsibility Index -- a report that grades broadcast and cable networks for the quantity and quality of homosexual characters and issues included in their programming.
ABC Family was given an excellent rating because more than half of its programming included gay characters or discussions about homosexuality. ABC Family had the highest percentage of hours -- 55 percent -- that included gays or references to them. In a year, the network's homosexual content rose 18 percent.
The only other channel to receive an "excellent" rating in the report's history was MTV (2010)."
