Olivia Wilde: NEW YORK - Broadcast television will have 16 gay and bisexual regular characters in prime-time series this fall, more than double the seven of a year ago, a new study has found. In this image released by FOX, actress Olivia Wilde portrays Thirteen in a scene from the FOX TV medical drama "House." (AP Photo/FOX, Adam Taylor) The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation said it was a positive sign of networks making their shows more representative, although more work needed to be done. These characters accounted for 2.6 percent of all the regular characters in TV series, up from 1.1 percent last year and 1.3 percent in 2006, according to the study, released Monday.GLAAD Presi Read full story at www.auburnpub.com
