For the first time, Nielsen has released ratings from same-gender partner households and the results for what LGBTQ people watch on TV might surprise you...
Starting last fall, Nielsen began the effort to let same-gender couples self-identify on their surveys. This week's data shows that most LGBTQ viewers watched HBO's hit series Game of Thrones followed by the NCAA Men's Championship.
The Rachel Maddow Show and RuPaul's Drag Race also make the list, the latter boasting 16 percent of its total viewership from LGBTQ households.
