'Vida' creator Tanya Saracho and 'Pose' star Mj Rodriguez discuss changing tide for queer Latinos in media.
Though the event was honoring celebrities advocating for others, Outfest itself has opened the door for many of the LGBTQIA stars who gathered at Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles for the annual event, presented by Cadillac, to celebrate and support the night's honorees, which also included"Queer Eye" producers Rob Eric and Michael Williams.
Onstage, Mj Rodriguez elaborated on Outfest's role in giving women like her a chance to be seen."It is not often when [you see] young African American, Latina, trans women of color...they're shining a light on women like ourselves," Rodriguez said."But also, I'm just thankful, thankful, thankful to Mr. Ryan Murphy for taking a shot [on me]."
Rodriguez wasn't the only attendee who credits Outfest with helping to launch their career. The fest also opened the door for"The Lizzie McGuire Movie" director Jim Fall. "My first film 'Trick,' that I made in 1999, premiered at Sundance, but then it was a closing night movie at Outfest," Fall recalled."And ever since 1999, Outfest has just been the core of Los Angeles filmmaking and gay filmmaking specifically. And this [Legacy Awards Gala] is an amazing time to meet all of our peers and to celebrate our heroes."
