Character: Jackson Morrison

From: Conviction

Representation: LGBTQIA+, body type

Their importance: Jackson is the brother of Hayes Morrison, the main character on the show. The child of a political family, Jackson has addressed how being gay (note: see issues) and fat has led to his being isolated and ignored by his parents in favour of his little sister. Despite that, Jackson is the family member who is most supportive towards Hayes. He also enjoys his career as campaign manager to his mother, to the extent that he and Hayes have a short falling-out when she disrespects his career. Despite being a character who appears only semi-regularly, Jackson is reasonably fleshed out and has his own traits, beliefs, and identity.

Issues: Jackson’s sexual orientation is never labelled directly by himself, but rather mentioned by his sister when he points out how his being “fat and effeminate” has led to his alienation. While the character biography on the ABC website refers to him as ‘gay-around-the-edges,’ his love life is not explored on the show. However, Daniel Franzese, the actor who plays Jackson Morrison, came out in 2014 and does identify as gay.
