Progressive
Primary
The show's central narrative champions LGBTQ+ identity and acceptance, a core progressive value, by following a gay protagonist's journey of self-discovery and coming out within a family that learns to embrace him.
The series prominently features a Latinx gay protagonist, demonstrating explicit DEI through its central casting. The narrative is deeply rooted in the protagonist's journey of self-discovery and coming out, providing a strong and explicit exploration of LGBTQ+ and minority experiences.
Secondary
Love, Victor provides an affirming portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters, centering on Victor's journey of self-discovery and coming out. It depicts his struggles with authenticity and acceptance with empathy, ultimately celebrating queer identity, love, and the importance of supportive communities. The show frames obstacles as external, reinforcing the worth of LGBTQ+ lives.
The show portrays a Catholic family grappling with their son's homosexuality. While initial religious interpretations cause conflict, the narrative focuses on the mother's journey to reconcile her faith with unconditional love, ultimately depicting faith as capable of embracing acceptance and compassion.
Love, Victor explores themes of sexual orientation, focusing on Victor's journey of coming out as gay and the experiences of other gay and lesbian characters. The series does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or storylines, therefore, there is no portrayal of transsexual themes to evaluate within its narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Love, Victor introduces a new set of main characters for its original storyline. While it is a spin-off of "Love, Simon," the primary cast members are new creations and do not have prior established genders that are then altered. Returning characters maintain their original genders.
The show introduces new main characters, such as Victor Salazar, who were not established in prior canon. Characters from the original film who appear retain their original actors. No established character from source material or previous installments was portrayed by an actor of a different race.
