In Mexican culture, it is now relatively common to include gay characters on Mexican sitcoms and soap operas (telenovelas) and to discuss homosexuality in talk shows. But representations of male homosexuals vary widely. They often include stereotypical versions of male effeminacy meant to provide comic relief as well as representations meant to increase social awareness and to generate greater acceptance of homosexuality. However, efforts to represent lesbians remain almost non-existent, which might be related to the more general invisibility of lesbian subcultures in Mexico.
