Casting Gabriela Medeiros is a historic act at Globo

Gabriela spoke about her gender transition when posting a childhood photo on Instagram: “If I could hug that child in the photo, I would tell her that: you were not born in the wrong body, that your way of being is special, that your looking at the world is unique, that your sensitivity is not a sign of weakness. I would also tell this child not to cry anymore when they cut his hair, that eventually it will grow back; I would say not to withdraw your body because you are ashamed of being who you are,” she wrote.

Matheus Nachtrgaele does not define himself

In 2014, Matheus Nachtergaele revealed that he was bisexual. He then stated that he tried to define himself sexually, but that “it was no use”.

Matheus Nachtergaele is no longer a Globo employee. Understand!

According to him, no one “fits on a shelf” when it comes to sexuality and that everyone has their own definition.

“I no longer think about lesbians, gays, straights, bisexuals… I can't think in those terms because I realize that each human being has their own sexuality. I believe that, as many people as there are in the world, that's how many sexualities there are. And, what’s more, we have to remember that it is changing,” she declared.
