Jonathan Groff, most recently a regular on the Kelsey Grammer series Boss that was set in Chicago, is returning to television in a new series set in San Francisco.

Groff, openly gay in real life, heads the cast in the new untitled HBO series about a group of gay friends who live in The City By the Bay.

Also starring in the series will be Frankie J. Alvarez and Murray Bartlett.

In a major vote of confidence, Fox announced today that it has renewed Glee for two more seasons.

The show, currently in its fourth year, includes several LGBT characters including gay glee club members Kurt and Blaine, lesbian cheerleader Santana, and transgender student named Unique.

Lesbian actress Jane Lynch won an Emmy in 2010 for her performance as cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester and openly gay actor Chris Colfer won a Golden Globe Award in 2011 for his performance as Kurt.

Premium cable network has ordered a ‘complex’ relationship drama from the creator of Glee and American Horror Story.

Ryan Murphy, who also created gay relationship comedy The New Normal, has been given a pilot order for Open.

Two same-sex love scenes in the Glee episode entitled 'I Do' were edited by the Australia's Channel 10 when it aired this week.

But a heterosexual love scene in the same episode intact.

Fans of the show took to Facebook to complain about a scene between Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine (Darren Criss) in the back of a car being trimmed.

Also edited was an intimate scene between Santana (Naya Rivera) and Quinn (Diana Agron) on a bed inside a hotel room.

Jane Lynch has already shown, week after week on TV's Glee, that she can play the queen of mean just about better than anybody.

The lesbian actress has won an Emmy and a Golden Globe award for her portrayal of Glee's acid-tongue faculty member Sue Sylvester.

It was announced Wednesday (20 February) that Lynch will now be spreading her mean act to the Broadway stage in the musical Annie in the role of evil orphanage matron Miss Hannigan.

After one week of parenthood, television producer Ryan Murphy on Monday (1 January) has shared a photo of his newborn son with his Twitter followers.

'Thanks to everyone for the kind wishes,' Murphy tweeted. 'Logan is one week old and doing great. Happy new year!'

In the photo, Logan is dressed in a white outfit with '2012' written on it and is covered by a pale blue, knitted blanket with his name printed in white.

The baby was born on Christmas Eve to Murphy and his husband David Miller. The identity of the child's mother is not publicly known.

The characters of Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson were a solid couple at Glee's William McKinley High School last season. But this year, things have not gone as smoothly.

Kurt (Chris Colfer) graduated and went off to New York to pursue his dreams while Blaine (Darren Criss) stayed behind at McKinley High to finish his senior year.

Blaine, lonely for Kurt, cheated and they split up. But in last week's Christmas episode, they were reunited in New York and may or may not have a future together.

Somewhere in J.K. Rowling's files there is a fan letter from a 12 year old child named Chris Colfer.

The star of Glee talked to The New York Times about books and his reading past. He confessed that in his note to the author of the Harry Potter series he suggested her powers were more than just words.

'I may have also accused her of being a real witch and insisted she take me with her the next time she traveled into the wizarding world.'

Katy Perry was the main attraction and the last to arrive on a busy red carpet outside the Hollywood Palladium where Trevor Live, an evening with comedy and music, took place on Sunday evening (2 December).

Photographers positioned on bleachers screamed for the singer's attention in an attempt to get the perfect angle.

Nominations for the 2013 People's Choice Awards were announced in Beverly Hills Thursday (15 November) but you won't find much in the way of LGBT representation in any of the 17 movie categories.

The closest would be a nod for Perks of Being a Wallflower in the category of Favorite Dramatic Movie. One of the leads is a out actor Ezra Miller and he plays a gay teen in the movie.

The television categories are a bit of a different story.

Neil Meron remarked that the last time he and producing partner Craig Zadan were at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, it was to film Bette Midler performing Rose's Turn for their 1993 television production of Gypsy.

They returned over the weekend (13 October) for the Legacy Awards, a gala benefiting the Outfest Legacy Project for LGBT film preservation. Zadan and Meron received the Visionary Award for their work dealing with LGBT subject matter.

The number of gay characters on US television has reached a record high, according to a new study.

The Where We Are on TV report by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation reviewed scripted LGBT primetime characters in the upcoming 2012-2013 television season.

It found that after a decrease last year, the number of regular lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender characters on broadcast networks has risen to the highest ever recorded, while the overall LGBT character count also increased on cable television.
