Grab the remote, set your DVR or queue up your streaming service of choice! GLAAD is bringing you the highlights LGBTQ on TV this week. Check back every Sunday for up-to-date coverage in LGBTQ-inclusive programming on TV.

The ninth season of Showtime’s Shameless premieres this Sunday. The show continues to follow the dysfunctional Gallagher family, including Ian, who ended last season being hailed as a “Gay Jesus.” Season nine will continue that storyline as well as telling further queer stories. In the Season 9 premiere, Frank’s latest sexual escapades get him into trouble with the Hopkins Academy PTA; Fiona struggles with her decision to bail Ian out of jail, while he continues his Gay Jesus antics inside; Debbie fights for equal pay at work; and Kev and V have trouble with the twins without Svetlana. Shameless: Sunday, 9pm on Showtime.

This Friday, the fifth season of animated dark comedy BoJack Horseman will be released in its entirety on Netflix. The critically acclaimed show is notable for including one of television’s few asexual characters, Todd Chavez, a human who finds himself caught up in frequent hijinks. We hope that his storyline will continue in this season, and open doors for further asexual and aromantic characters in media. BoJack Horseman: Friday on Netflix.

On Saturday the 15th, FXX will air the first televised Creative Arts Emmys, edited down from the awards being handed out over this weekend. The categories at the Creative Arts Emmys include several technical awards, awards for animation, reality, and guest acting categories, among others. Some of the many LGBTQ and inclusive nominations are Queer Eye, Steven Universe, Jane Lynch, Samira Wiley, and more. Check out the list of LGBTQ-inclusive Emmy nominees here! Creative Arts Emmys: Saturday, 8pm on FXX.

Gay Man Sues Farrah Fawcett’s Son, Says Redmond O’Neal Beat Him in Brutal, Homophobic Attack: WATCH

Gay Man Sues Farrah Fawcett’s Son, Says Redmond O’Neal Beat Him in Brutal, Homophobic Attack: WATCH

Ken Fox, an L.A. man, sued Redmond O’Neal, the son of Ryan O’Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett, for assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violation of civil rights, negligence, loss of consortium and negligent infliction of emotional distress, and is seeking damages in excess of $25,000.

USA Today reports that the lawsuit was announced by Fox on Friday with his lawyer Gloria Allred: ‘In a choked voice, Fox described what he said O’Neal did to him and the consequences he is still suffering. He said he was minding his own business, dragging a wheeled laundry basket to a nearby laundromat, when he saw a young man approaching dressed in a hoodie and carrying a bottle in a paper bag. Fox said the man snarled, “What are you looking at,” adding a common gay slur. “I was not dressed provocatively. All I did was look up when I saw him approach me.” Fox said the slur the man used amounts to “hate speech” and is “just one of many offensive terms used to make gay men feel ashamed of themselves.”

The paper adds: “He said the man, later identified by police as O’Neal, rushed at him, bashed him on the nose with a beer bottle, then stood over him as he lay on the ground bleeding. He said the man continued to taunt him with slurs, throwing punches and threatening to hit him with the bottle.”

According to The Blast, “O’Neal eventually fled the scene and ended up getting arrested several days later after he allegedly committed several other crimes. He was eventually charged with attempted murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, criminal threats, brandishing a knife and battery.”

Said Fox: “I have spent the last four months recovering from what Redmond O’Neal did to me. I am speaking out today because I need to do what I can to make sure that this man never injures or hurts another defenseless ‘faggot’ ever again. That’s what Mr. O’Neal called me right before he sucker punched me. The word faggot is hate speech and just one of many offensive terms used to make gay men feel ashamed of themselves.”

Allred added: “We contend in our lawsuit that a substantial motivating reason for Redmond O’Neal’s conduct towards Ken was Mr. O’Neal’s perception of Ken’s sexual orientation. There must be serious consequences for anyone who engages in violence against innocent victims and particularly where the victim is victimized on account of his status as a member of a minority which has a long history of persecution and violence against them on account of their sexual orientation.”
