Covid pandemic's closed down some of the LGBT representation on TV

Israel HaYom reported that the Corona pandemic's had an interesting effect on the obsession with LGBT ideology, and shoving it down the throats of audiences via the quotas called for by advocates. That is, it's reversed them to some extent:
LGBTQ and gender inclusiveness on television has retreated slightly this season due to delays and shutdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study out Thursday by the advocacy group GLAAD.

The percentage of regularly seen LGBTQ characters on streaming as well as prime-time broadcast TV and cable during the 2020-21 season fell. Prime-time broadcast fell to 9.1% after reaching an all-time high of 10.2% last season. That represents the first decrease since GLAAD's 2013-14 report.

[...] GLAAD's report, "Where We Are on TV," found that 70 out of 773 series regular characters on broadcast scripted prime-time TV were LGBTQ. Last year, those numbers were 90 out of a total of 879 characters. Recurring LGBT characters were also down.

There were also declines in LGBTQ representation on streaming services and prime-time scripted cable shows, triggered in part by production shutdowns of such series as "The L Word," "Euphoria" and "Killing Eve."
Of course, much more than simply these specific programs these ideological lectures for the sake of normalization of an unhealthy practice may have been shut down. But that's hardly what interests these narrow-interest movements, who also demand the following non-stop:
GLAAD is asking the industry to reach 20% representation of LGBTQ regularly seen characters on all three platforms by 2025, and to ensure that half of LGBTQ characters on every TV platform are people of color within the next two years.
Because quotas of this sort are all that matter. They're not "asking" so much as they are demanding. When 20 percent is reached, they'll demand 50 next, and then 100. That's social justice advocacy for you.
"We still do focus on broadcast because that's where a majority of Americans are still taking in and absorbing content. That's still where the majority of Americans might meet their first gay person or transgender person or bisexual person for the first time," Ellis said.
And this is little more than pointless lecturing. Mainly because it's largely pushed as a "positive" influence, even at the expense of women, by the way. I'd once noticed while watching various old TV shows in the past decade that a lesbian was more likely to be depicted as a criminal than a male homosexual, proving a form of male supremacy has had some influence over the years on which gender can be depicted as criminals in a police show, for example, and how (21 Jump Street was one example of this bias). If the pandemic's having a reversing effect of all this SJW propaganda on TV, it's for the best. The question is whether most showbiz producers have what it takes to recognize why, when the pandemic is over, they'd do well to avoid hammering away with ideology if that's what it takes to regain fortune. But I have a sad feeling they won't.

Update: since we're on the subject, The Federalist warned about the incoming Biden administration going to extremes to force schools to kneel before transgender ideology. There is one thing that may require some skepticism though, based on what religion is mentioned:
The LGBT organization Human Rights Campaign recently made policy recommendations to the Biden administration that included pulling federal funds from all faithful Christian, Muslim, and Jewish institutions by banning their beliefs through the accreditation process. If a school is not accredited, its students may not benefit from the GI bill, transfer credits, or apply for graduate study, noted Southern Baptist Theological Seminary leader Al Mohler.
As a matter of fact, it's far more likely that Islam would be given exemptions from all this indoctrination, and besides, Islam is already indoctrinating for the worse as it is, in its own way. Let's remember that already, Biden intends to reestablish the "deal" with Iran.

All that aside, if parents really want to protect their children from this indoctrination, they have to demonstrate against it at rallies, something most don't seem to do, if at all. That's the weakness that enabled much of this LGBT propaganda to become entrenched.
