[LifeSiteNews] 25 Sep 2008--America's major broadcast networks are upping their promotion of the homosexual movement, doubling the number of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transsexual scripted characters for the 2008-2009 broadcast schedule since last year.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) conducted their annual "Where We Are On TV" report on the five broadcast networks - ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW. GLAAD found that the number of LGBT scripted characters appearing in this year's 88 scripted dramas and comedies jumped to 16 from last year's seven.

This finding has broken a trend, as the proportion of LGBT characters to heterosexual characters fell in the three years before the 2008-2009 broadcast year, from 1.4 percent to 1.1 percent, but increased for this year to 2.6 percent.
