Media plays an important part in conveying an understanding of the role sexuality plays in our daily lives. In many cases these are the headline stories.
Many of the daily stories they cover reference the LGBTQ community and its issues. So while the number of LGBTQ individuals in the media is important, how they are conveyed to the public is equally important - the authority of a newscaster seen on a regular basis instills an aura of tolerance and acceptance of the broad range of sexual identity. This list of individuals is often seen at the forefront of breaking news on a daily basis, and they reflect the presence of the community itself in society.
As the face of daily newscasts and commentaries, they play a role in conveying integrity, reliability, diversity, and comfort in a tumultuous world of news and events. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer television newscasters have a prominent profile in many countries around the world.
