American GLTB Characters In 2011

[evewithanapple]

Okay, so GLAAD just put out a list of queer characters currently on American television (not Canadian or British, hence why you might not see some characters) and formatted them as a list of who was a lead, supporting, recurring, etc, and split it up between cable and broadcast TV. I found it slightly confusing to scroll through and try to figure out why was bisexual, gay, lesbian, etc, and how to tell how many gay characters were leads as opposed to lesbian, how it varied by race, etc. So I made the ill-advised decision to sort the list by race and orientation and number them all. God help me.
