Luisita & Amelia - Amar es para siempre

Ep. 1593

[hadesisqueer]

Can you recommend some queer shows or films in Spanish? I'm trying to improve my level

Okay so:

Skam España, specifically season two. The protagonist of that season is bi and has a love story with another bi girl. Watching this season live in 2019 was fun lmao. It's all on YouTube I believe.

Te Estoy Amando Locamente. It's a Spanish film from a couple of years ago. It is set on Southern Spain in 1970, when homosexuality was illegal, and tells the story of a young gay man, his mother and his queer group of friends, who are directly in the fight for LGBTQ rights.

Amar Es Para Siempre: It's a Spanish soap opera, the continuation of another one named Amar En Tiempos Revueltos. The first one had already a sapphic couple, and there had been several other queer characters over the years, but the most famous ones are Luisita and Amelia. By the time the soap opera reached their storyline, it was already set on the mid-late 70's, same as Te Estoy Amando Locamente, and it was the Spanish Transition from a dictatorship to democracy. Homosexuality was still illegal, as I said, so they have this sort of forbidden/secret romance that sometimes leads to really funny situations while trying to hide the relationship or when people find out, and sometimes it leads to gut-wrenching or moving moments. Realistic over all and a really cute couple. I do recomend to watch their compilations and not the whole soap opera if what you want is the gay only though, because it is LONG. Spanish grandmas's One Piece lmao.

Luimelia: Still about Luisita and Amelia! They got so popular that they got their own spin-off, kind of like a "What If" au set in the 2020's lol.

20000 especies de abejas: I haven't watched this one yet, but I have heard that it's beautiful. Shows the reality of the childhood of a trans kid.

Aquí No Hay Quien Viva: Spanish comedy TV show, years 2003-2006 I believe. Five seasons I think? It is not a queer show per se, and it's from over 20 years ago, so some things have not aged that well. But it was funny as fuck, and it does have several queer characters, and it includes a gay man and a lesbian woman having a kid together and raising him with their partners lmao. The main gay couple, Mauri and Fernando, actually were a big reason why same-sex marriage was legalized here in Spain.

Veneno: Biopic about Cristina Ortiz "La Veneno", a trans Spanish showgirl and sex worker, based on her memoir written by a transgender journalist, friend of hers.

Watching “Manual Para Señoritas” on Netflix for the plot. The plot:

Paula Usero, you know what you’re doing…

Why is it that shows like Sueños De Libertad and Amar Es Para Siempre get how to write WLW ships better than American Soap Operas?

As an American who ADORES Luimelia and has been sucked down the Mafin rabbit hole…American WLW ships are terrible compared to them.

Sooo it looks Fina is planning to leave as I expected but I'm not entirely sure if: a) Marta stops her before it happens or b) She actually leaves and Marta will go find her. I'm still hoping for Marta to make a big romantic gesture but I fear for those episodes Marta B. won't be in (allegedly). I can excuse any plot line except for them to be reunited and have some happy alone time together that we don't get to see.

Anyway for the spanish speakers and the brave ones who try to make sense of the automatic translation, the podcast 'Corten!' has already uploaded the live episode with Marta Belmonte, Paula Usero and Anna Marchessi. It's really good and just so funny. Especially when they talk about 'dead lesbian syndrome' (aka bury your gays trope). You can find it here:
