GLAAD honors gay-friendly Spanish-language media
27 Sep 2005
Non-profit organization GLAAD has had a tough time getting their heads and hands around the anti-gay presence on many television shows on Spanish-language TV in the years since it launched its People of Color Media Program. They’ve made a lot of headway, though, getting corporate giants like Pizza Hut to pull ads aired on Univision during a show known to antagonize and stereotype gay people. GLAAD’s Media Awards, a start-studded three-city event boasting stars like Robin Williams, Tippi Hedren, etc. makes a big splash each year, and now they are taking the show to Miami, to honor the “good guys” in Spanish-language media. According to a press release, Univision’s Jorge Ramos will present TV’s Cristina Saralegui with the “Premio ValentÃa”.
ValentÃa is right. I think it’s pretty valiente for Cristina to publicly support the gay community knowing that a significant number of her viewers do not.
The event is presented by GLAAD’s long-time sponsor Absolut Vodka, along with new sponsor Coors Light.

Immigrant childen alienated from “Naco” school?
12:53 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Immigration · 3 Comments
27 Sep 2005
Interesting story out of Arizona via HispanicTips. Intriguing first because of the weird word play: the school is called “Naco” (which for non-Mexicans is a classist, racially charged insult flung from Mexican to Mexican) and it’s located in an Arizona town called “Ajo”. Is this one of those Latin American magical realism movies?
No. Apparently, there’s some tension going on in the town of Ajo, between Naco students and parents and authorities, with charges of discrimination against Mexican families:
The U.S. Department of Education received complaints of discrimination and sent a team to investigate. The complaint says Hispanic students who live within the school district were being asked to pay tuition while non-Hispanic students were not.
The allegation is that the children cross back into Mexico across the Arizona border after school, so they should be paying non-resident (probably international student) tuition.
Study: Most Livable Cities in Mexico
27 Sep 2005
Over the past couple of years Mexican agency Cofemer has been conducting a study to find Mexico’s most livable cities. They used 38 measures, including: geographic location, crime, education services, health care, and job market.
The winners are: Querétaro, Monterrey, Chihuahua, Saltillo, and Mexico City.
This Vivirlatino writer has lived in 3 of those 5 cities, and has visited all but one. I have to agree that these are some great cities, and besides Mexico City (a.k.a.: DF) itself, are some great alternatives to the monstrous capital.
Mexico has quite a bit of land, most of it very sparsely populated. In order to find work, people must go to one of maybe just 20 cities or so that are of significant size. That’s why there are so many people in Mexico City; but there are more and more options arising as companies and families are trying to escape the traffic and pollution of DF.
As time goes on, we will continue to see the population of cities such as Querétaro, Saltillo and Monterrey continue to grow by huge numbers every year.
