July 16 (UPI) — The top Hollywood studios featured more LGBTQ characters in movies but overall had less diversity in 2019, GLAAD said Thursday in its annual studio report card.
For its eighth-annual, Studio Responsibility Index, the organization studied the films released by the eight top studios in 2019 — Lionsgate, Paramount, Sony, STX Films, United Artists, Universal, Disney and Warner Bros. Disney absorbed 20th Century Fox in mid-2019.
The study found 22 out of 118 films — or 18.6 percent — included LGBTQ characters, a record-high.
