As for Spanish-language media, he notes that Univision airing Amores Verdaderos is important because the company behind the novela is Televisa, which has traditionally been conservative in highlighting LGBT lives.

Pacheco said Spanish-language network Telemundo has shown "more fleshed out and multi-dimensional gay characters" but that Univision was a big deal because it is the largest Spanish-language network, and recently announced that it will be the most-watched network on television overall in July.
