Nearly one in five gamers are members of the LGBT+ community, yet LGBT+ storylines and characters account for less than two percent of all games.
That’s according to the first ever GLAAD Gaming Report, the global leader in advocacy for LGBT+ representation, alongside market research company Nielson.
A previous report from Nielson three years ago stated 10 percent of gamers were LGBT+. Now that’s up to 17 percent – an increase of 70 percent.
