Megan Townsend is the Senior Director of Entertainment Research & Analysis at GLAAD, where she plays a crucial role in studying and advocating for LGBTQ representation in media. In a recent report, she emphasized the importance of including LGBTQ stories in films to engage younger audiences, highlighting that approximately 23% of Americans under 30 identify as LGBTQ. Her insights reflect a growing concern over the declining representation of LGBTQ characters in Hollywood, especially in light of GLAAD's findings that the percentage of inclusive films has fallen significantly in recent years.
