( CNN ) -- It 's not been an excellent year on television for LGBT characters . On Friday GLAAD released two of its reports , the seventh annual Network Responsibility Index and the 18th annual Where We Are on TV report , and none of the networks received an excellent rating for having diverse LGBT characters and stories . ABC , ABC Family , CW , FOX , MTV , NBC and Showtime were rated as `` good '' ; CBS , FX , HBO , TLC , TNT and USA were `` adequate '' ; and History and TBS received `` failing '' marks . The ratings in the index were based on LGBT-inclusive content between June 2012 and May 2013 , while Where We Are on TV relied on a character count and analysis of scripted characters in the upcoming 2013-2014 season . According to the data , the percentage of primetime broadcast scripted LGBT series regulars dropped to 3.3 % from a record high of 4.4 % last season . There was diversity , however . The report showed that there will be an equal number of women and men among LGBT characters during the 2013-2014 broadcast season , which means the storylines are moving beyond just featuring white gay males . `` Last season was a stellar one when it comes to the sheer number of gay , lesbian and bisexual representations on television , though diversity within those storylines showed room for improvement , '' said a statement from GLAAD 's Wilson Cruz . `` Though the number of LGBT characters dropped this season , shows like 'The Fosters , ' with an interracial female couple raising a family , and characters like Unique on 'Glee ' have not only moved the conversation about LGBT people forward , but are also a hit with audiences . '' Some of the other findings include : . `` Our television images not only reach American audiences , but countless others around the world , '' Cruz said . `` It is time for the television networks to make new and groundbreaking LGBT stories a priority once again .
