On Wednesday, we released our 8th annual Network Responsibility Index (NRI) and the 19th annual Where We Are on TV Report, which map the quantity, quality, and diversity of images of LGBT people on television. With the release of those reports, we asked our followers some questions about LGBT images on television. Check out the responses we got below:
