I’m so sick of moments of silence. It’s not working. Obviously. So… why don’t we… not do a moment of silence. Why don’t we do a moment of action? Why don’t we do a moment of change? Why don’t we change what’s happening? Because it’s horrible. Mommas and daddies should be able to send their kids to school, to church, to movie theaters, to clubs. You should be able to live your life without that kind of fear. We need to do better. (x)

When the Nazi concentration camps were liberated by the Allies, it was a time of great jubilation for the tens of thousands of people incarcerated in them. But an often forgotten fact of this time is that prisoners who happened to be wearing the pink triangle (the Nazis’ way of marking and identifying homosexuals) were forced to serve out the rest of their sentence. This was due to a part of German law simply known as “Paragraph 175” which criminalized homosexuality. The law wasn’t repealed until 1969.

PASADENA, Calif. — Tanya Saracho had trouble containing her glee at a Television Critics Association panel for her new Starz series, Vida (due May 6), a half-hour drama about two Mexican-American sisters who return to their old neighborhood in East Los Angeles.
“We don’t get to do this,” she said of presenting a show told from the perspective of “brown, queer femaleness.”
Saracho, whose credits include HBO’s Looking and Girls and Lifetime’s Devious Maids, said Vida is “Latinx, but it’s a queer show.” The show’s story “is my vida, my life.”
She praised Starz for the creative freedom she has been given with the show, which includes such timely topics as “Chipsters” (Chicano hipsters) and gentrification or the return of upwardly mobile Latinos to their old neighborhoods.
“I wanted an all-Latinx writers room. All the directors are women of color or Latinx,” she said. “My (collaborating) executive at Starz has a ‘z’ in her last name, Fernandez. There, I don’t have to be a cultural ambassador.”
Vida is another step toward more representational programming, but there is still a long way to go, Saracho said. “We make up almost 20% of this country,” but are represented on only a tiny fraction of TV shows.
Despite the specificity of the story, Saracho said, “There is a universality to two sisters coming home,” where they learn a surprising truth about their mother’s identity.
Melissa Barrera (right) who plays one of the estranged sisters, said Vida is timely when people with a dual identity, such as Mexican-Americans, are being reminded “they are not home.”
“If you abide that this country was made up by the children of immigrants, that’s what this show is,” Saracho said.

Accept that you’ll sometimes be the bad guy in someone else’s story. Grow from it, forgive yourself, and move on.
