re: GLAAD: 20% of TV Characters Must Be LGBTQ by 2025

Yet a 2017 Gallup survey of 340,000 people showed that only 4.5% of the U.S. population self-identify as LGBTQ, which is much closer historically to polling on these questions. If GLAAD succeeds in its push for 20% of television regulars to be LGBTQ characters, LGBTQ television characters would overrepresent the actual LGBTQ population by 40%, according to the organization’s own data.
