“Programming executives at Mexico City-based Grupo Televisa and TV Azteca met late last month with the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and the Movemos organization of Mexico City in an effort to increase the number of fair and inclusive media representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. It is no secret that Latin American TV shows, from telenovelas to sitcoms, stereotypically portray gays and lesbians.

“Historically and culturally, Spanish-language media have often portrayed LGBT people in a sensationalistic and stereotyped manner,” said Mónica Taher, GLAAD’s people of color media director. According to the Los Angeles-based organization, nearly 80 percent of the programming that Spanish-language Latinos watch on Univision, Galavision and Azteca America are produced in Mexico and exported by Grupo Televisa and TV Azteca.”
