Latine Celebrities go purple for #SpiritDay
This year, many influential Latine celebrities joined #SpiritDay to stand against bullying. Celebs like Thalia, Ana Maria Polo, Juan Pablo Espinosa, and Juan Pablo Di Pace have already gone purple. So have the casts of the Q Agenda on LATV, and the casts of hugely popular Spanish-Language morning shows Despierta América on Univision and Hoy Día on Telemundo. The shows have shared messages of support for LGBTQ youth and done segments on Spirit Day that help educate their millions of viewers on the need to combat bullying in schools, at home and everywhere.
Spanish-Language Shows Go Purple for #SpiritDay
One again this year it was fantastic to see the casts of leading Spanish-language shows go purple for #SpiritDay. The casts of the morning show Despierta América on Univision and of Un Nuevo Día on Telemundo all rocked purple again this year, as did the hosts of Primer Impacto and The Zoo on LATV. Spanish-language streamer Pantaya joined #SpiritDay and turned various channels purple.
Some Latinx #GLAADawards winners who are changing cultures, including fan favorites #Aristemo
One of the best things about working at GLAAD is getting to celebrate the smart, funny, moving AND LGBTQ-inclusive stories we are seeing—in English and en Español. Over the years, I have seen LGBTQ representation slowly increase—and sometimes, unfortunately, decrease again the next year. We have a lot more to do, and the work goes on!
Today we celebrate the steps forward, like the existence of a scripted show or novela from Mexico centered around two young men in love: El Corazón Nunca Se Equivoca which won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Scripted Television Series at the GLAAD Media Awards July 30.

What to watch en español: GLAAD Media Award nominated couples like Juliantina, Aristemo and more!
One of the best things about working at GLAAD is getting to celebrate the smart, funny, moving AND LGBTQ-inclusive stories we are seeing—in English and en Español. Sadly, this year, because of the worldwide health crisis, we are not able to announce award recipients as scheduled during the GLAAD Media Awards ceremonies. We will be announcing how award recipients will be announced soon. But right now we can enjoy many of the great shows and films and journalistic pieces nominated for awards. With so many of us spending evenings (and days) at home, this may be the perfect time to catch up on TV shows and movies and journalism you may have missed.
