LGBTQ Representation in Film: A Shrinking Reflected Reality The film industry has seen a decline in LGBTQ representation for the third consecutive year, according to GLAAD's Where We Are in Film report.
In 2025, only 20. 4% of top grossing studio releases featured some form of LGBTQ character, down from 23. 6% in 2024 and significantly lower than the 28. 5% peak reached two years prior.
The statistics are stark: out of 225 films released by the 10 largest studio distributors in 2025, only 46 contained LGBTQ characters – less than one fifth of the total.
