Each year the list of Emmy nominees is rightfully analyzed and scrutinized for diversity. The list of LGBTQ Emmy nominees is then further examined for its own racial and gender diversity, but that analysis consistently has overlooked the geographic diversity of LGBTQ people. Though GLAAD’s latest TV report found the largest number of LGBTQ characters ever, LGBTQ people and stories outside of major cities are immensely underrepresented in entertainment.
That’s why this year’s Emmy nomination for HBO’s “We’re Here” in outstanding unstructured reality series deserves attention and should send a message to the broader industry about the necessity and the power of telling stories of LGBTQ people living outside of urban centers.
As the industry undergoes self-reflection and begins to prioritize diversity, LGBTQ people in rural America, and the power of showcasing the interaction between LGBTQ people and their neighbors in these cities, cannot be underestimated or overlooked.

It may be the dawn of a new era: Freshman series, especially in the unscripted categories, are having their moment with the Television Academy.
Of 15 nominees across competition, unstructured and structured programs, almost half (seven) were newcomers to the Emmy race, with six of those seeing accolades their first time eligible. In unstructured, this includes Food Network’s remotely produced “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook”; Netflix’s “Cheer” and “Kevin Hart: Don’t F**k This Up”; and HBO’s “We’re Here” while in structured the new nominees are Netflix’s “Love Is Blind” and HGTV’s “A Very Brady Renovation.” Fox’s “The Masked Singer” finally broke into the competition-program category its second year up at Emmy bat, the only newcomer to that race.
“The voters have had more time home, more sampling and more time to consider stuff,” awards consultant Richard Licata of Licata & Co says of the “stay at...
