I me out of the closet Mexi and Lat Ameri a while ago, but I kd of refed to do gay characters or muny characters for a while, bee... I thk that 's one of a few shows, the last year or two, where when people e out, they aren't reacted to wh homophobia. They were like, "We do not want homophobia at all, we want you to be very rpectful.
And then I was really sred bee my managers back then were tellg me that I had to say that was a mistake, that I wasn't gay, that everythg was jt a show that the media was tryg to set up bee they didn't want my reer to fall apart.
WH GAY UPLE AS STARS, MEXIN TELENOVELA SET TO MAKE HISTORY
And I'm really 're one of the first of your generatn to e out and play a gay character and stay Mexi, bee most actors do move to Ameri.
Gabriel Romero actually played the first posive, out gay character 1999 on Los Beltran on Telemundo. That's why I didn't want to play gay characters eher on TV bee I me out, but I tried to rema private. I hope that I n be -- I don't want to say a role mol, bee I don't want to put myself there -- but I want to be jt a gay man that works and that is seen and is a normal person that happens to love a guy.
