“Vida” was always going to be about the “gentefication” — gentrification driven by young, upwardly mobile Latinx individuals — but it was Tanya Saracho who decided to place LGBTQ actors, crew members, and writers at its forefront.

Before “Vida,” Colindrez’s work included a long list of LGBTQ characters, including Tako on HBO’s “Girls,” Devon in Amazon’s “I Love Dick,” and Joan in the Broadway production of “Fun Home.”

"Vida" cast members, from left, Carlos Miranda, Chelsea Rendon, Roberta Colindrez, Mishel Prada, Tanya Saracho, Melissa Barrera, Ser Anzoategui, Ramses Jimenez and Raul Castillo arrive at the Tribeca Film Festival.“Vida” was always going to be about the “gentefication” — gentrification driven by young, upwardly mobile Latinx individuals — but it was Saracho who decided to place LGBTQ actors, crew members and writers at its forefront.

“It felt like a lot of stuff that’s happened in the show is happening in my neighborhood, in my life,” Anzoategui said. “My neighbor is very homophobic, very transphobic … When you think of a person like myself or a trans person walking down the street, we have to think of these things before we go out.”

I miss when TV was just TV and not different versions of the same social commentary.

Hooking.

No one cares who is more queer.

I think “queerness” is complicated enough. Lotta letters in that acronym.

Homosexuality is over kill. You think some men look feminine and some women look masculine for sexual purposes. No silly. That is a caste system bred into place over thousands of years. Warriors , farmers , crafters , etc. There is some body perfect for you.

Thank goodness people are starting to revolt on this crap. Mental illness should never be celebrated

I can tell by looking at this, that it will suck...and it will have such a small target audience....but at least it's diverse.
