Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
While there may be greater inclusion and more positive treatment of LGBTQ people in the media, it does not necessarily mean that they have achieved equal status with heterosexual people. It simply suggests that more people are becoming tolerant towards LGBTQ individuals and that media outlets are trying to cater to their changing audience. However, this does not necessarily mean that the representation is perfect or that LGBTQ people now control major media channels.
