There's been a glass ceiling to how well LGBTQ content and performers have fared in awards seasons’ past, according to awards consultant Jonathan Taylor. - NBCOUT
Nov. 25, 2019, 3:24 PM UTCThe LGBTQ community has made major strides on TV screens across the United States. Subjects that were once considered taboo even just a few years ago, including two same-sex people embracing on-screen, now dominate small-screen storylines. Behind the scenes, writers, producers and directors who identify as LGBTQ are also taking the reins of series, often mining their own lives for material.
“The entertainment business, considering how successful it is and how much money it makes, does an amazing job of overlooking the particular interests of particular communities,” says Jonathan Taylor of Robertson Taylor Partners, a communications and awards consulting firm. “I saw more LGBTQ+ representation than ever at this year’s Emmys. But still not as much as there could have been.”
