FSCMM help

OKAY I AM BEING A HUGE NERD, but I got super interested in the stats on FSCMM re: ladies and characters of color and LGBT characters, especially regarding this year versus previous years, AND I NEED YOUR HELP. I-I am probably going to post some thorough stats later, but right now I just need to know if I'm missing any CoC or LGBT characters for the shows I don't watch, since occasionally the first is easy to miss (lol once I saw someone talking about Ann from Parks as a white girl and I was like, DUDE, RASHIDA'S DAD IS QUINCY JONES, SHE IS BIRACIAL, GET A CLUE), and the second one obviously cannot be told from an imdb picture.

(all of these are being edited as per comments)

Characters of Color Who Won The Prelims
Troy Barnes (Community)
Kelly Kapoor (The Office, woo!)
Gus (Psych)
Kalinda Sharma (The Good Wife)

Maria DeLuca (Roswell) (the actress is hispanic, yes? Is the character explicitly?)

LBGT
Adam Torres (Degrassi: TNG)
Kurt Hummel (Glee)

Brian Kinney is gay! (V. surprising, him being from Queer as Folk and all.) I haven't watched Sherlock, but I hear he's asexual? Not sure if that applies here.

Spock is half-vulcan.

Kalinda's bi, Brian Kinney's gay, and Majandra Delfino's Venezuelan but canonically I'm pretty sure Maria was white. (The character was supposed to be Hispanic but they didn't think Majandra looked it, so it was cut, if I remember right. Also the female lead is Hispanic in the books and white on the show, NICE WORK WB.)

LOL YOUR NERDERY.

Not only is Kalinda Sharma a character of color, she's bisexual. ALSO THE BEST AT EVERYTHING. God if this were real life Kalinda Sharma would win the entire game and all the other character wouldn't even realize until it was too late, SHE IS SO SNEAKY AND GOOD.

Also I'm 99% sure Annie Sawyer is mixed-race. The actress is. I think there's an episode where you meet her parents? But I can't remember. According to this site, she's mixed-race.

I'm going to rant a bit, sort of kind of.

I know that the girl who runs it has previously come under all sorts of fire, etc, and that sucks, for srs, but at the same time, I was super disappointed that there was not one, but TWO serious female characters from White Collar unrepresented, particularly when she had one who was only in the first season.

In other news, I actually am sort of crafting a post about this, but literally ONE of those characters is Jewish and he's only got one Jewish parent and his Judaism is represented more as a quirk than anything else.

I wish I could say I'm hormonal right now, but really, this is just me being bitchy about life.
