Nearly Invisible is the first GLAAD report that analyzes the inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) characters in primetime Spanish-language scripted television airing in the United States between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016. The report also analyzed the inclusion of characters of African and indigenous descent as well as characters with disabilities.

WHY LGBTQ REPRESENTATION MATTERS
- According to the Williams Institute at UCLA, there are approximately 2.3 million Latinx LGBTQ people in the United States alone. And, of course, we know there are millions more in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America.
- In 2018, Latino, Latina and Latine millennials (aged 18-34) were the most likely demographic in their age group to be part of the LGBTQ+ community (more than 1 in 5). And that rate remains higher among all Latine adults when compared to other communities.
- Latine consumers of both English and Spanish-language media want very much to see their lives reflected in the news that informs them and the entertainment they enjoy. That’s why GLAAD works to advance meaningful representation of LGBTQ Latine people.
- We offer resources for media professionals working in any medium, from newspapers and magazines, to web sites, movies, games and other forms of media.
- We also want to help community members and families find their voices and access important resources.

A NOTE ON LANGUAGE
When speaking about our community generally, we opt to use the inclusive term “Latine” in place of “Latino” or “Latina.” While “Latinx” will also sometimes be used across GLAAD platforms, and has been in Latin America as well as the United States, the word “Latine” is more accessible, as some reading devices may struggle with the “x” ending in Spanish. When referring to individuals or specific groups, GLAAD will always use the term they use to identify themselves.
