According to a survey conducted throughout 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 in selected countries worldwide, over half of LGBTQ+ respondents said they found content on traditional TV to be very non-inclusive. When it came to movies and TV series on streaming services, the share of LGBTQ+ respondents found them to be very non-inclusive was significantly lower. For example, under 30 percent of people identifying as bisexual or lesbian believing TV series on streaming services were problematic in this regard, compared to over 50 percent who said the same about content on traditional TV.
