Penelope Alvarez Is the Mother of a Queer Teenager

from Gayest Episode Ever · host Drew Mackie & Glen Lakin / TableCakes Productions

"Pride and Prejudice" (January 6, 2017) The new One Day at a Time gets major points for focusing on a Latin family, for successfully re-inventing a Norman Lear classic and for giving us another reason to love Rita Moreno. Most important for this podcast's purposes, however, is its nuanced handling of teenage Elena's coming out. This week, Tony Rodriguez joins us to discuss how this story arc is more interesting for having put the spotlight not on Elena but on Penelope, her mom, who is liberal but is still having trouble accepting her daughter's sexuality.
