Netflix receives high marks for diversity and inclusion in terms of gender and people of color, but not among the LGBTQ community

Los Angeles Times

The USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative released a new study this morning that compared Netflix's numbers to figures from the broader industry as well as the U.S. population. Netflix executives said they will use the 36-page report, which addressed gender, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation and disability, to serve as a benchmark to measure progress toward greater representation. “We’ve released this report in the interests of transparency,” Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos wrote in a blog post. “Because without this kind of information it’s very hard to judge whether we’re improving or not. And the report makes clear that while Netflix has made advances in representation year-over-year, we still have a long way to go.”
