Because LGBT+ characters are showing up a lot more now. The best example, I believe, of a diverse representation, is RuPaul's Drag Race. In it's fluidity, transgression, breaking of heteronormative standards of gay men, and inclusion of many different gender identities. It's interesting, also, that some shows which are considered iconic in the gay community included poor/stereotypical representations of LGBT+ people. An example of which is Sex and the City. You have Stanford - an over the top, sex crazed, attention seeking gay man. Anthony - a bitchy gay man. And in one episode, Carrie dates a bisexual man, and causes a big fuss about it, claiming he's 'lacking a sexuality'. It's interesting.

Q8 - Additional comments
We only ever really see lgbt advertisements during the time when gay pride is happening. Why cant we have more lgbt advertising every day rather than just a few weeks a year.

Last question was awkwardly phrased - I don't know if it meant examples of the type of representation (ie. stereotypical, positive, queer-coded etc) or specific examples of LGBT characters.

It would have been good to ask about positive/adequate and negative representation separately. Eg bisexuals or trans folk are mostly misrepresented. And their representation might even do harm instead of helping the cause. It is not about quantity of LGBT people/stories in the media, is about quality. Quantity is important but secondary.

The gender/sexuality options in this survey were very strangely incomplete. I feel like "queer," "pansexual," and "asexual," for instance, are fairly common identifiers in the LGBTQA+ community that I usually see included on publications and surveys. As a person who identifies primarily as queer, it was off-putting not to see that option, again because I usually do see it included in these types of things.

As a transgender man I feel massively underrepresented by the mainstream media and feel that currently the only platform available for transmasculine people to be visible is on social media such as instagram.
