ABC FAY, MEANWHILE, RECEIVED THE SEND-EVER “EXCELLENT” SRE OM GLAAD 2011 (FOR THE RERD, ABC FAY ONLY RECEIVED A “GOOD” SRE THE 2012 REPORT). KANE SAYS THE ABC FAY HAS TRANSFORMED “NSIRG WHERE THEY ME OM—ALTHOUGH THAT WAS A VERY, VERY LONG TIME AGO THAT THE WORK HAD A NSERVATIVE BENT AND SIMPLY ISN’T THAT WORK ANY SHAPE OR FORM.”PAT ROBERTSON STARTED ABC FAY AS THE CBN SATELLE SERVICE 1977 TO FOC ON RELIG PROGRAMMG. IN 1990, HE SPUN THE HUGELY PROFABLE CHANNEL OFF TO THE INTERNATNAL FAY ENTERTAMENT INC., WH THE NEWLY-NAMED “FAY CHANNEL” BEG THE PRCIPLE PROPERTY.

PRETTY LTLE LIARS CREATOR MARLENE KG SAYS THAT WHEN ABC FAY APPROACHED HER TO ADAPT THE BOOK SERI TO A SHOW, SHE ASKED IF THE WORK WAS FORTABLE WH A CENTRAL CHARACTER BEG A LBIAN. WHAT’S MORE, KG DIDN’T WANT EY’S SEXUALY BE SOMETHG THAT F HER. “SHE JT SO HAPPENED TO BE GAY,” KG SAYS. BEG GAY IS “PART OF WHO SHE IS, BUT DON’T FE HER AND ’S NOT 100 PERCENT A PART OF WHO SHE IS.”THE FOSTERS, WHICH PREMIERED JUNE 2013, TELLS THE STORY OF A LBIAN UPLE RAISG SEVERAL CHILDREN, CLUDG THE BLOGIL SON OF ONE OF THE WOMEN AND SEVERAL ADOPTED AND FOSTER CHILDREN. GLAAD’S KANE LLS THE FOSTERS “A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A SHOW THAT HAS VERY DIVERSE CHARACTERS TERMS OF THEIR BACKGROUNDS AND THEIR ETHNICY.” IN FACT, THE SEASON FALE (SPOILERS), WHICH WAS FILMED JT DAYS AFTER THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT WAS STCK DOWN, FEATURED THE WEDDG OF MA CHARACTERS LENA AND STEF.“BY FAR, WE WERE THE FIRST POST-DOMA LGBT WEDDG ON TELEVISN,” PAIGE SAYS. IN FACT, THE SCRIPT THE WEDDG SPEECH WAS LEFT WH ELLIPS TO CLU THE SUPREME COURT’S CISN. BIS BOTH HAVG NSERVATIVE ROOTS, ABC FAY AND WORK TELEVISN LEAR FOX ARE TARGETG LENNIALS (AND YOUNGER)—A MOGRAPHIC THAT IS MORE LIKELY TO SUPPORT GAY RIGHTS THAN OLR GENERATNS. AMONG YOUNG ADULTS AGED 18-32 (LENNIALS), 70 PERCENT SUPPORT SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, ACRDG TO A MARCH PEW REARCH POLL. THE GENERATN AFTER LENNIALS, THE TEEN DIENCE THAT ABC FAY URTS, IS LIKELY TO BE EVEN MORE SUPPORTIVE OF LGBT RIGHTS.“THE TEEN DIENCE HAS EMBRACED THIS SHOW AND THIS FAY TO SUCH A GREE THAT THEY’RE CELEBRATG ,” PAIGE SAYS. “THEY DON’T SEE , AND THEY’RE NOT WATCHG THE SHOW THE WAY PEOPLE OF MY GENERATN ARE, WHERE THEY’RE LIKE ‘HOLY SMOK, I N’T BELIEVE THIS IS ON TV.’ THEY’RE GOG, ‘OH YEAH, THAT’S LIKE MY IEND JIM, WHO'S GOT TWO MOMS. OR MY IEND BILL, WHO'S GOT TWO MOMS.’ IT’S JT A PART OF THE WORLD THEY LIVE , AND I THK THAT’S SUCH A BETIFUL, BETIFUL THG.”BUT THERE’S A FLIPSI TO THAT: AMONG THE BABY BOOMERS, ONLY 38 PERCENT SUPPORT SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, ACRDG TO THE SAME PEW POLL. MORE THAN 70 PERCENT OF REPUBLINS, MEANWHILE, ARE OPPOSED TO SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, ACRDG TO A JUNE PEW POLL. THAT ULD HELP EXPLA THE HISTORY CHANNEL HAVG ZERO GAY CHARACTERS. VIEWERS OF THE HISTORY CHANNEL TEND TO LEAN REPUBLIN, ACRDG TO A 2012 REPORT BY YOUGOV BRAND INX, AS WELL AS TEND TO BE OLR, WH 39 PERCENT OF THE WORKS DIENCE BEG OVER 55 AND THE AVERAGE AGE OF S VIEWERS IS 49.4 YEARS, ACRDG TO NATNAL TV SPOTS.WHEN ASKED FOR MENT, THE HISTORY CHANNEL SENT A STATEMENT SAYG THAT THE MAJORY OF S NTENT IS “HISTORIL NATURE, AND PRIMARILY FEATUR PROGRAMMG THE HISTORY-BASED REALY GENRE. ADDNALLY, WE HAVE VERY LIMED SCRIPTED PROGRAMS, AND WHAT WE DO HAVE, IS HISTORILLY-BASED, SUCH AS VIKGS AND HATFIELDS & MCCOYS. BEE OF THE NATURE OF OUR PROGRAMMG, AS A WORK, WE FEEL IS APPROPRIATE AND SENSIVE TO ASK ANY OF OUR CHARACTERS ABOUT THEIR SEXUALY (AND SEXUAL PREFERENCE).”IN THE MEANTIME, KANE REMAS OPTIMISTIC THAT THE HISTORY CHANNEL AND OTHER WORKS WH LOW REPRENTATN OF GAY AND LBIAN CHARACTERS WILL PROGRS MORE TOWARD CLN. FOR EXAMPLE, KANE, SAYS, TRANSGENR PEOPLE WERE ONCE “NEARLY VISIBLE” ON WORKS, AND NOW GLEE HAS MA UNIQUE A RECURRG CHARACTER, NETFLIX’S ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK HAS A TRANS CHARACTER, AND THE FOSTERS IS ADDG A TRANS CHARACTER NEXT SEASON.“THERE’S A LOT OF REALLY GREAT ORIGAL STORI OUT THERE TO TELL ABOUT LGBT PEOPLE THAT YOU’RE NOT GOG TO GET SIMPLY BY PUTTG ANOTHER GAY WHE MAN ON TELEVISN,” KANE SAYS.
