On this week's Very Special episode we are very excited to be talking to GLAAD's Raina Deerwater to discuss the newly published 2025 Studio Responsibility Index - which has found that LGBTQ representation and inclusion in film has it a three year low! Raina and Rowan sit down to talk about why this might be, and what we can do to change it. The GLAAD Studio Responsibility Index (SRI) maps the quantity, quality and diversity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) characters in films released by ten major motion picture studios during the 2024 calendar year. GLAAD researched films released by A24, Amazon Studios, Apple TV+, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount Global, Sony, The Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros. Discovery, and their subsidiaries. The report is intended to serve as a road map toward increasing fair, accurate and inclusive LGBTQ representation in film.
