One of the things I really appreciated about Las Aparicio and the story between Julia and Mariana is something that needs to be said more because people have set their minds about this is not always like people think.
To give a little of context, Las Aparicio is a mexican Novela where three sisters have to live their lives with a special curse. One of the sister, Julia Aparicio, gets a love story with her best friend Mariana Almada.
And one of the best things in the novela is the relationship between Mariana and Julia's mom, which eventually would be her mother in law.
This relationship and their scenes together were sometimes the best part of the story for me, and are so important that people don't realize.
Because at the same time, there's a character called Ileana that is a teen that is incredibly homophobic. Is weird, but they made a old lady super supportive that even in one scene was gonna get in a fight with a homophobic man; and a young girl was the one with all the prejudgment and ignorance.
And this is so important because in internet you see the majority of the people thinking that young are the ones that are allies and understand and support us and all the old are conservatives and hate us and that's not the true in a lot of aspects.
To say that in a personal level, my grandma of 92years at the moment was way supportive, and my 15year old cousin stop talking to me when I came out in the family as bi.
My grandma in her own way(spanish) told me she didn't care if I get a gf or bf or whatever; that what she wanted is to teach me how to cook so I don't depend on other people to live.
And my cousin cancelled a trip we had together after I told her.
And I'm pretty sure something like this has happened to a lot of other people.
