Meet the newscaster in drag making LGBTQ+ history in Mexican television

The program, La Verdrag, is meant to radically transform the way LGBTQ+ communities are viewed in Mexican society.

Interesting and if it informs and addresses the issues of a certain demo well then congrats to the production staff supporting the host.


Tonight, in a small studio set in the heart of Mexico City, Barraza is making history.

Through his drag character Amanda, the 32-year-old journalist is the first-ever drag queen to host a news program for Mexican TV.
By stepping out under the glow of the studio lights, Barraza has sought to push the boundaries of society in a place where both LGBTQ+ people and journalists are violently targeted. And he is doing it at a moment when the issue has roared back into the public discourse with the violent death of one of the very guests on his program, one of the most prominent queer figures in the country who was later found dead along with their partner with dozens of cuts across their body.

“Having an alter ego, you have fewer problems because they can’t harass a character. You have more freedom to speak out,” he said. “There are many things that Guillermo wouldn’t do or say that Amanda wouldn’t think twice about.”

Actually judging from many of Kelly's past comments, especially regarding social and LGBTQIA2S+ (and whichever letters of the alphabet they choose to add next) issues, I'd say he's one of the more progressive voices on this site.
