Ellis said Glaad’s target was that 20% of studio films should include LGBTQ characters by 2021 and 50% of by 2024.
The report criticised 2017 releases Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok and DC’s Wonder Woman for removing LGBTQ characters that were contained in the source material.
It reports that nine of the 14 (64%) LGBTQ-inclusive major studio films passed the test in 2017.
Monitoring and advocacy group Glaad (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) have called on Hollywood studios to ensure that lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual characters comprise 20% of the total.
