Donald Trump has nominated L. Brent Bozell III, a prominent anti-LGBTQ+ activist, to lead the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees Voice of America. Bozell's history includes denouncing LGBTQ+ representation in media, claiming it is exaggerated, while data indicates a growing acknowledgment of LGBTQ+ identities in society. His nomination is significant given the agency's influence on global media and the need for confirmation from the Senate. Critics argue that Bozell's views could impact how LGBTQ+ stories are reported and represented across platforms.
Bozell has often raged against positive LGBTQ+ inclusion in the media, suggesting that portrayals of gay characters bias representation and falsely assume victories for leftist agendas.
He denounced GLAAD's tracking of LGBTQ+ characters, alleging that their representation exceeded reality, despite data indicating that over 7.1% of U.S. adults identify as LGBTQ+.
