Como Sabes, Depresión” is a fragment of a passionate bilingual poem written by an English-speaking poet enamored of the Spanish language, and “To Sor Juana” is a poem dedicated to the seventeenth century poet and nun who has become an icon among Latina lesbians. Nevertheless, contemporary Latina lesbian literature in the United States has concentrated primarily on the writings by and about Latina queer women since the early 1980s. It’s appalling and shocking to them that a female isn’t turned on by their manliness or that they wouldn’t succumb to their ‘magic stick. Portraits like Carla Barboza include a declarative response: “I used to worry about being different. I’m not caught up on LGBTQIA+ history before Stonewall and, despite seeing the photos from the 2019 Met Gala, still can’t explain what camp means.

In January 1992, Aguilar sent Martel another letter, written on glossy photo paper and illustrated with ghostly images of stone angels from her ongoing Cemeteries series (1990–96): “I felt like killing myself again Im anger cause what made me get out of this place was cause I had to fight again deg deep? Data were collected through individual face-to-face interviews, using an interview protocol, and were analyzed using inductive, deductive, and comparative analyses. I work in a male-dominated industry with some of the most massive egos, and not one of my well-known clients have ever had an issue with my sexuality.These queer Latina letters highlight the impact that women like Sor Juana and Malinche had on the reconfigurations of Latina queer and ethnic identities. The scene captures Aguilar calmly sitting in repose, cooling off in front of an electric fan at a friend’s home.

before I don’t think I really every look at myself no one else look at me notice me so I just pick up that I don’t exist. In 1987, Aguilar embarked on her Latina Lesbians series, a suite of black-and-white portraits of queer Latinas framed by large white margins that contain notes written by the subjects. Aguilar’s most famous photo-text work may be her incendiary four-photo series Don’t Tell Her Art Can’t Hurt (1993), which shows Aguilar brandishing a gun; as the pictures progress, she removes her clothing and sticks the barrel into her mouth and closes her eyes.I roll my eyes when straight girls announce at their frustration with men and that they are “going to girls. This qualitative study explored the knowledge, attitudes, and values related to sexual health among a purposive sample of Latina LBQ women living in Seattle, WA. The Role of Carmelita Tropicana in the Performance Art of Alina Troyano, appraises the imaginative, hilarious, and insightful work of Cuban-American performance artist Alina Troyano (better known by her stage name, Carmelita Tropicana), examining the strategies she used (code switching, the breaking of heterosexist norms, the development of alter-egos, and more) to create a hybrid identity as an artist and performer. If you’re looking for other single LGBTQIA+ Latin women for friendship, dating, or more, then look no further than HER.

Vega, Gisela Ponce, "Latina Lesbian Students: Understanding Their Experiences and Perceived Sexual Identity Development at a Hispanic-Serving Institution" (2016).Nevertheless, the feelings of self-acceptance and happiness that she first began to experience during these sessions later blossomed into her series Clothed/Unclothed (1991–94), which shows lovers and families in states of dress and undress. This groundbreaking collection, originally published in 1987 by the Latina Lesbian History Project, allows women to speak about what it means to be Latina and lesbian in their communities. That means you’ll have no shortage of queer women of the Latine persuasion waiting to chat with you on our diverse and inclusive platform. Among her subjects are several queer professional women captured in their preferred fashion and chosen environments. Whenever I go to events or groups themed LGBT the people there are overwhelmingly White, and when I go to Latino/Chicano related ones the sentiment is heavily Catholic and not so comfy with LGBT people.
