GLBTI group reduced legal complaint to only three television programs

Last Monday Diane Rodríguez, president of the GLBTI (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersexual) Silueta X group, along with other members of the group, went to the Ombudsman to file a legal complaint against three national television programs: Vivos, La Pareja Feliz and Mi Recinto, whose contents are considered as “offensive” by the group.

“We do not want these (programs) to disappear, we want them to give us a risibility quality, we want them to make us laugh in an appropriate way, in a smart way, in a way that does not involve the stigma and discrimination,” Rodríguez explained.

The paper asks the Superintendent of Communication (Supercom) to perform a review and regulation of these national comedy shows. Initially, the complaint was addressed to 25 programs, later reduced to four, and finally, the claim was reduced to three.
