GLAAD Slams Hollywood's Rampant Homophobia And Transphobia

“We’re still the butt of the joke."

Shows like Transparent, Orange Is The New Black, Sense8 and The Fosters have helped increase and advance LGBT visibility on television.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Hollywood.

Exploring this grave injustice, GLAAD released a video compilation yesterday evening highlighting the innumerable instances of homophobic and transphobic slurs, jokes and violence in mainstream films over the past five years.

“We’re still the butt of the joke,” Sarah Kate Ellis, CEO and president of GLAAD, told Variety. “We’re still infrequently seen and when we are seen, it’s in a negative light.”

The "Hollywood Must Do Better" campaign features clips from films such as Ted, The Wolf Of Wall Street and Horrible Bosses.

“When jokes are made at the expense of a marginalized group, it creates a dangerous environment,” Ellis told Variety. “This isn’t about being the PC police. It’s about creating a safe environment.”
