Diversification

As culture evolves, so do the movies and TV shows that reflect it. Case in point:

Joining [Netflix's] roster of LGBTQ-friendly programming, which already includes a team of drag queen superheroes with Super Drags, is Q-Force, a new half-hour, adult animated comedy from Will & Grace star Sean Hayes, Parks and Recreation creator Mike Schur, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine writer Gabe Liedman.

Q-Force tells of “a handsome secret agent and his team of fellow LGBTQ super spies.” Images of Sterling Archer’s undercover twink-on-rollerskates disguise immediately come to mind.

Liedman will showrun the 10-episode series and executive produce with Schur ...

There was a time when the only gay characters who appeared in movies were broad, comedic caricatures of which film-makers made vicious fun. The same held true for the handicapped (Chaplin striking a match on a hunchback's deformity), and minorities (Butterfly McQueen in "Gone With the Wind").

Kindness and enlightenment don't always proceed in an upward trajectory, but here in the 21st century, more former outcasts are being brought into mainstream entertainment, and that's a good thing, yes? The days of nothing but white, Anglo Saxons in movies are O.Ver.
