ABC MOST GAY FRIENDLY SAYS GLAAD

SWEET.. ABC is one of my favourite stations. It includes several of my favourite shows such as Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters and Greek. It looks like the station is ahead of the gang.. Check out the results:

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - ABC and cable channel FX have been ranked the most gay-friendly networks by a gay-rights group.

At the other end of the scale, NBC, Fox, A&E, Spike, TBS, USA Network and TNT all received fail grades from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).

...The report said 24% of ABC's programming hours was considered inclusive. The report praised "Brothers & Sisters" in particular for portraying the first gay marriage on television...The CW, driven by "America's Next Top Model," was a close second (21%).

CBS was rated "adequate" (9%), while NBC (6%) and Fox (4%) were both labeled "failing," with their scores decreasing slightly this year. The report added that the quality of gay characters on NBC increased across several shows, but its score dropped overall because of the departure of Laura Innes' lesbian character, Kerry Weaver, from "ER."

I love this stuff.. Cause we get to see how gays are represented across the board. Interesting.. For more on the story Click Here.
