These queer ladies — featuring on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Santa Clarita Diet, respectively — play empowered Latinx role models, which television is finally adopting.
Once we search for change occurring in Hollywood, it is time for you to shout the brilliance out of actresses Natalie Morales (the fascinating Sheriff Anne Garcia on Santa Clarita Diet) and Stephanie Beatriz (the badass Detective Rosa Diaz on Brooklyn Nine-Nine). Both are tough out Latinas on hit television show, and their characters talk to TV’s development also. Both actresses portray police force officers (authority numbers, formerly referred to as “The Man”), and their female cop figures have actuallyn’t been forced to sport ridiculously high heel pumps and skirts in just what was previously a typical hollywood atttempt to apparently keep ladies in uniform from appearing like lesbians. Even while their figures have recently come out queer on-screen, Morales and Beatriz are permitted to remain neither overly uber-feminized nor masculinized. This means, they aren’t overcompensating, they’re just themselves — and that’s a welcome relief. Better still, that empowered ethos follows both feamales in real world.
