17 percent of the total gaming audience identifies as LGBTQ , according to GLAAD.

Just 2 percent of all games on the market contain LGBTQ content.

28.5 percent of films from the top 10 distributors in 2022 contained an LGBTQ character.

More than 60 percent of non-LGBTQ respondents said they weren’t bothered by LGBTQ protagonists in their games.

GLAAD found that gamers of color are less resistant to titles with queer content than white players.

More than 40 percent of LGBTQ players said video games helped them cope with a lack of acceptance in the real world.

In the first weeks of 2024 , more than 500 anti-LGBTQ bills have been proposed or passed in the US .
