GLAAD launches season two, digital comedy series Dímelo spotlighting Latine voices

The Gay, Lesbian, Alliance Against Defamation organization hosted a reception on Thursday, to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month and celebrate the season two premiere of the digital series, Dímelo.

The digital series Dímelo, or ‘tell me’ is an interview-based series with Latine comedians who identify as LGBTQ+, serves non-traditional conversations with critiques on media tropes and  unfiltered opinions about how LGBTQ+ identity is both understood and misunderstood. 

“Dimelo, is a digital series we created at GLAAD, in order to have a place to see ourselves and to have a place where we could come together in laughter and joy,” said Monica Trasandes, senior director of Spanish language and Latine representation at GLAAD and series executive producer. 

Season two featured series creator Gabe Gonzales, a boricua comedian, writer and consultant from Central Florida, who also self-identifies as the ‘LaCroix of Latinos.’ 

“There’s a little bit of flavor there, but I gotta tell you what it is first,” said Gonzalez. 

The interviews featured in the series are meant to be incisive and unfiltered views into the lives of the Latine, LGBTQ+ comedians who agreed to share their perspectives and laugh out their traumas. 

Last Thursday, GLAAD hosted a reception to launch season two with some of the comedians from the series as special guests who performed stand-up skits. 

Lorena Russi, Roz Hernandez, Danielle Perez and Gabe Gonzalez performed comedy skits at the series launch at The London Hotel in West Hollywood. 

The season premiere will be available to watch on GLAAD’s YouTube and the LatiNation+ app. Exclusive clips from the series will be released on TikTok and Instagram through October 15.
