Julio is a very shy and self-conscious queer boy. After years of living under his mother’s protection from his abusive father in the past, she is his only comfort. When she disowned him, being an only child, Julio felt remorse and disgusted by himself. The only other comfort he has had was when he discovered Drag. In his drag persona, "July Joy," Julio feels more comfortable in his skin, like putting up a barrier that protects him; he is more outgoing and can feel himself.
Lydia is an old woman who regrets her life decisions. After her son’s death of AIDS, she felt like she had to live life for once, since she lost him before by throwing him out of the house and never reconnecting with him. She seeks the same connection and to redeem herself for that horrible mistake. She finds the courage to go to where her son performed as a drag queen, trying to find a connection with him and what he loved to do.
Catalina is a Latina, Conservative, and Catholic woman who pushes out anything that does not go with her vision of life. After suffering from an abusive relationship in the past, she became the breadwinner of the house. She is too scared to make anything change, and she is fearful of what the world will say about her son, but she also regrets that she failed to love her son and support him, as he did the same when her husband left.
