TRINO and Adam have been together for 18 years, but the couple have endured backlash throughout their relationship. Both proud MexicanAmericans, the men's Chicano culture means that not everyone approved of their love. Speaking to truly about their culture, Trino explained: "The gay man, it's an embarrassment to the family," and Adam added: "Someone said they'd rather be a drug addict than gay. It's the bottom of the barrel for some people." Growing up in Los Angeles' gang neighbourhoods, the pair's dress sense has been heavily influenced by their upbringing. Adam said: "Sometimes people will say, 'It's ok to be gay, but just dress like you're gay,'... How do you dress like you're gay?" Agreeing, Trino added: "People want us to be a certain way, they just can't understand that gay guys come from the hood!" In this episode of Love Don't Judge, Trino and Adam will have an honest conversation with Trina's sister, Brenda, about her initial concerns of the relationship. We'll also meet the couple's daughter, Natalie, who opens up on how people reacted to her having two dads. Reflecting on their relationship judgement, Adam said: "People see us and they think a certain way, but you know what, for us, we really give our heart."
