I wish everyone could understand Spanish because barbara was amazing during that uncomfortable and ignorant interview. I love her so much.

Aww, that’s great! 

It’s by some weird circumstance that often (straight) actors are in the position of being our biggest spokespeople, both raising awareness and providing encouragement. And this isn’t really fair to us or them, they’re promoting a role, and yet, it becomes something larger. But that makes it especially nice when there are supportive actors in environments where it makes a difference. 🙂

Bárbara had to go on interview and the other woman was so homophobic ?

Aw, anon, I’m sorry. For her too, of course, for putting up with it, but you for seeing it and all the other fans excitedly tuning in and getting that.

We all got kind of spoiled and even complacent when the kisses started airing and getting better and better and there was so much positive coverage. It’s easy to forget the context and environment in which this is all happening. And of course it’s a little sad to be reminded, but it also highlights how much progress has been made and how quickly, that even for a while there was that comfort and amazement with the positivity.

While the episode was angst as hell I notice a few things people didn’t praise on here and is that with all that shit going on Val didn’t drink. Also, she never stood to Lucho until he mention Juliana. She usually let him do things and I think both of this things are amazing as her character.

You’re right, anon. That was pretty tough as far as days go but she stuck it out and was even able to argue back against Eva’s literal conversion therapy idiocy. Usually in plots like this the characters are left with some doubt but she absolutely turned it around on Eva and stood her ground. She showed a lot of strength today, honestly, there’s some steel behind all that fluff. AND she did stand up to Lucho for Juls. A lot of standing up for Val yesterday. 🙂

I didn’t really mind the missed call so much, in the context of the ep. If she had answered she would have sounded so upset, she would only have upset Juls further. Though she does need to call her back, girl is justifiably worried.
