Update on Cara a Cara Show on Gay pride

An update form the Cara a Cara talk show yesterday on Gay pride. I promised an update on the calls to the show. Amazingly we had 100% calls supportive of gay rights and gay marriage. One very moving call from the mom of a a teenage boy who's gay, asking for acceptance, and compassion from the community for gay teenagers. Things have changed. I can't imagine what the reaction to the show would've been five years ago.

My guests Juan Carlos Alanis Publisher of newspaper La Prensa de Minnesota and Mario Villega an AIDS and STD health activist gave us a lot of insight on what it's like to be a Latino gay man in Minnesota. When I asked Mario what was the main issue in the Minnesota Latino gay community, I was told that immigration issues and AIDS were the issues he heard people concerned about.

Will go to Minneapolis Gay Pride parade on Sunday, when there will be stonger than ever participation in the parade from the Minnesota Latino gay community.

Podcast of the show will be posted soon in www.lainvasora1400.com. Sorry only Spanish version.
