Resources for further reference: 1. https://www.meetup.com/East-Los-Angeles-Latina-Bisexual-Lesbian-Amigas-Meetup/ I talk about looking for women that look like me, sound like me and like some one like me. This is important because cultural connections and matter and empower. However this group is also inclusive of those who are not Latina but want to meet and commune with other latinas. We have Asian, African American, White and European women who have joined and participate in our meetups. Our community is welcoming to all queer women who want to build with us. 2. https://www.hrc.org/resources/being-latino-a-lgbtq-an-introduction For data that I cite in this interview about Latinx LGBTQ 3. https://www.lgbt.ucla.edu/Latinos For history and information about Latino LGBT resources at UCLA. 4. https://www.nglcc.org/what-we-do For data that I cited about LGBT business 5. https://queeringthemap.com For more information about the concept of "Queering Space" and "Queering the map" as we lose physical space but cover more ground as we go online. 6. I use LATINX and Latina/o interchangeably. Latinx has been popularized recently and I am trying to incorporate the use of this term into my vocabulary but I also love using the gendered LATINA identifier because I can only speak to this experience as a cisgendered Latina/Chicana. I will pass the "mic" to other expert voices in the future to discuss the latina transgender experience.
