"Amar es para siempre" is the name given by A3 TV (Física o Química) to the 8th season of the series "Amar en tiempos revueltos", aired until now in TVE, the Spanish public TV. This series (dayly at the afternoon), talks about the dayly life in Spain during Franco's dictatorship. This 8th season, that started a month ago, happens at the end of 1960.
Among the characters, there is always a LGTB person. Unfortunately, these times were very hard in Spain for LGTB people. In the series, only two women who were sisters-in-law, Ana and Teresa, could have a relationship and live together (and they have to fake their death to start a new life in Argentina, because they were being blackmailed). A nice story started between Ubaldo, a Guatemalian diplomat, and Richi, a Spanish dancer. But the story ended because Richi didn't accept himself, thought he has an illness etc. The same thing happened with Julio, the gay person of the 7th season, who thought to have an illness, and at the end, he married a woman whose brother he could have a relationship with.
"Amar es para siempre" is started by Marc Clotet (Iago in El Cor de la Ciutat, Vaquero in FoQ) as its main male character. And seems to have also a LGTB person. They haven't still show it openly. But it seems that we have a transgender story as the third most important this season (after the two storys of the main couple, Inés and Mauro -this one played by Marc). The story of Roberta, a very beautiful woman with a secret. People of the forums think she's escaping from an abusing husband or father, or has some political and avoids police. But lately, there are clues about her being a transgender person from boy to girl. Besides, one of the sets of the series is a guesthouse where there is a transvestite (not Roberta): we know it because the owner of the guesthouse talked about it, but we haven't see him. So it seems this season we have a trans story.
Unfortunately, there are many problems to follow the series outside Spain. It can be seen throught A3 Internacional, who airs the series at 14'30 (time in Mexico). But not througth internet. Some people hung the first episodes in YT (because Amar en tiempos revueltos have many followers in America and Europe, who saw it in its TVE web page). But A3 has forbidden it.
