GLAAD's Spanish-Language Media team worked this week with the producers of the show "Cala" on CNN en Español and CNN Latino when they were looking for guests to discuss marriage equality. GLAAD placed Bridgett Gonzales and Elena Popp, whoa re part of the Latino Equality Alliance, and attorney Sasha Westerman-Keuning from Unity Coalition on the show. Elena and Bridgett discussed their experiences as a couple and as advocates. They also countered erroneous statements made on the show that having LGBT parents negatively impacts kids. Sasha described the legal outlook for marriage equality. GLAAD's SLM team also worked with Univision Radio in Chicago to find guests such as local advocate Esther Baruja to discuss the importance of marriage equality to Latinos.
