Univision, Telemundo and UniMas Lagged in LGBT Characters This Year, GLAAD Study Finds

Univision, Telemundo and UniMas Lagged in LGBT Characters This Year, GLAAD Study Finds | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it

GLAAD's second report analyzing Spanish-language media found that the big three networks still lag behind the rest of primetime television in LGBTQ representation. The report, titled "Still Invisible / Todavía Invisibles," counted just 19 LGBTQ characters across all of primetime on Telemundo, Univision and UniMas. With 682 characters in total, that's about 3 percent, and a marginal increase from last year's finding of 19 out of 698 characters. Worse, the study found that nearly a third of those non-straight characters were killed off on their respective shows.

‘¡Cuéntamelo! Oral Histories by LGBT Latino Immigrants’

‘¡Cuéntamelo! Oral Histories by LGBT Latino Immigrants’ | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it

"¡Cuéntamelo!," a rereleased collection of oral histories by seven LGBT Latino immigrants, might have Juliana Delgado Lopera's name on its cover, but, save for an introduction and some scene-setting details, Lopera very wisely cedes the book to her subjects. Lopera, of course, deserves considerable credit for the hours spent interviewing, transcribing, translating and condensing these histories, but the most difficult task - and one she manages well - is letting a sense of who each of these individuals are come through on the page.
