NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” and cast member Michael Che have been accused of transphobia following a controversial joke this past weekend. During the “Weekend Update” segment, Che addressed President Joe Biden’s recent executive order reversing the Trump administration’s ban on transgender people serving openly in the military. “It’s good news, except Biden is calling the policy, ‘don’t ask, don’t tuck,’ which is not good news,” Che said. The remark referred to the now-defunct “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, which banned gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military from 1993 to 2010.

Presence vs. Representation: Report Breaks Down LGBTQ Visibility on TV

From Billy Porter in “Pose” to Dan Levy in “Schitt’s Creek” and Elliot Page in “Umbrella Academy,” LGBTQ people have been increasingly seeing themselves and their stories represented and celebrated on television.
