Brazilian actor Amaury Lorenzo has come out as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Over the last few months, the popular primetime soap opera Terra e Paixão has made massive waves with TV viewers.
The show, which premiered in May, follows Aline Machado (Barbra Reis) as she deals with the aftermath of her husband’s death.
As she navigates through her grief, Aline must fight to keep her inherited property from the powerful landowner Antonio La Selva.
In addition to its murder mystery and family feud storylines, Terra e Paixão has been lauded for its LGBTQIA+ representation, specifically in regards to characters like Ramiro – a gruff and closeted cowboy – and Kelvin – an openly queer activist.
