Lgbtq new movies 2022
- Of the 77 films released theatrically by the seven major studios in 2021, 16 (20.8 percent) contained LGBTQ characters. That is a decrease of 1.9 percent from 2020, but an amplify of six films from last year’s 10 out of 44 (22.7 percent). It is worth noting that the films released theatrically in a much smaller sample due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Of the 16 LGBTQ-inclusive films released in 2021, 11 (69 percent) included gay male characters, four (25 percent) included lesbian characters, two (13 percent) included a bisexual character, and one (seven percent) included a transgender character. This is a marked decrease in lesbian representation, as lesbians appeared in 50 percent of inclusive films in 2020. Only two films contained a bisexual character—a population that continues to be underrepresented.
- For the first time in five years, GLAAD has counted a transgender character in this report (Anybodys, West Side Story). The character is a trans man who plays a small role in the film. There were no trans women or non-binary characters counted in this report.
