Telemundo receives nomination for its novela, Daniela,
in Outstanding Daily Drama category
MIAMI, FL - The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against defamation (GLAAD)
recently notified Telemundo that they had nominated the network for
its innovative approach to programming that included airing
³Daniela," a Mexican novela which featured a multi-dimensional
portrayal of a transgender woman.
In the novela Roger (Alejandra de la Mora), Daniela's stepbrother
who had left for Brazil several years earlier, returned and much to
everyone's surprise, rejoined the family as Renata. Her arrival
spurs an emotional crisis among her parents and sisters, exposing a
hot topic that society has a hard time understanding and accepting:
transsexualism.
Renata is rejected by her parents, when they can't come to terms
with her new persona. She feels lonely and misses her loved ones'
support during a vulnerable period in her life. Now, the only
person she can count on is her half-sister, Daniela, who got her
family to talk openly about the issue, understand it, and realize
that despite it all, Renata is still part of the family and needed
to be accepted.
The GLAAD Media Awards recognize and honor the media for their
presentation of fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and the issues that
affect our lives. Nearly 1,000 media projects were considered in 23
categories.
Telemundo, a U.S. Spanish-language television network, is the
essential entertainment, news and sports source for Hispanics.
Broadcasting unique national and local programming for the fastest
growing segment of the U.S. population, Telemundo reaches 90% of
U.S. Hispanic viewers through its 11 owned and operated stations and
more than 50 broadcast affiliates. Telemundo is a wholly-owned and
