To hear him tell it, he’s always championed and centered marginalized people in his work; and it’s only now that he somehow — miraculously — earned enough success that he’s able effect real change, with Hollywood finally noticing the full weight of that longtime advocacy.
Though the very LGBTQ-positive “Glee” started the ball rolling on the Murphy productions of today, even early series like “Popular” and “Nip/Tuck” featured LGBTQ characters, whether outright or by reading between the lines. The hunky plastic surgeons in “Nip/Tuck” certainly shared a wealth of homoerotic subtext, and the punk rock baby feminists of “Popular” were years ahead of their time.

According to the, less than one year after launching, “Ryan Murphy Television’s director slate hired 60% women directors and 90% met its women and minority requirement.”
