		<description><![CDATA[Without a doubt, we are supporters of the Latino Equality Alliance. This organization is made up of friends and leaders that are all passionate about the movement in our community. In 2011, their organization became a proud sponsor and financial investor of our documentary. They are an agent of positive cultural, political and  social change in Los Angeles and are helping projects like ours to become visible to people throughout the city. We would like to endorse the Latino Equality Alliance and ask you to support Love by donating to the Latino Equality Alliance in 2012! We are Latinos. We are Equal. We are Allies. We are all the Latino Equality Alliance. LEA was established in November 2008 as a response to the passing of California&#8217;s Proposition 8, the anti-equality marriage ballot initiative. Organizations and individuals that came together to work on the No on Proposition 8 campaign in East Los Angeles founded a formal alliance that will coordinate efforts to increase support of LGBT people and issues by the Latino community. LEA&#8217;s mission is to promote liberty, equality, and justice for the Latino LGBTQ community.

		<description><![CDATA[Q &#38; A With Giovanni Aguayo, a 21 year old gay Latino Male in Las Vegas with a big dream and a story to go with it. Do you identify as gay? Queer? Latino? a singer? artist? performer? What would best describe your identity using these words, or not? If not, why not? I would consider my self  a gay man that is trying to start something in the entertainment business. How did you get started? What are your obstacles I started back in Februrary of 2011. I felt as if music was my only escape from my past relationship i felt it was a world full of imagination and you can go as far as you can and get lost in it and never look back to me it was my way to get away from the anger and the emotions i had i said my thoughts in lyrics, and beats and different things about it made me feel home in it. Some people are comparing you to Quentin Elias. He performs at gay clubs and events and is super good looking, has a personality, but doesn&#8217;t have the best voice. How does this make you feel? What do you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[La Colectiva Chorizo y Maguey present with Company of Angels The World Premiere of blu by Virginia Grise Directed by Laurie Carlos “blu is technically expert. … Grise’s choral effects are thrilling and unexpected. But, just as important, the play uses a heady mix of Latino and musical influences to cast oblique light on people you don’t usually come across on the English speaking stage.” -David Hare, playwright, Yale Drama Award Judge Set in Barrio, USA, Virginia Grise’s blu traces the explosive after-effects of prison and hunger, desire and war. Told in a heightened poetic language of street talk, the play follows a queer Chicana/o family as they try to envision an earth and sky without police and their helicopters. Soledad and her woman Hailstorm raise Blu, Gemini and Lunatico while their father Eme serves a three-strike sentence. Blu seeks a better way, Hailstorm fights for beauty amidst all the hurt and ugly, Eme yearns for his lost love and fam, Lunatico is true to tradition and Gemini dreams dreams for everyone while Soledad tries to hold it all together without having her bruised heart touched or broken, one more time. blu is a tattooed offering to Los Angeles audiences, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[written by Erasmo Guerra in the  NYDaily News.com It&#8217;s been more than 10 years since our last kiss of Latino gay lit. Writer Charles Rice-González says the last time a group of Latino gay fiction appeared in print was the 1999 collection &#8220;Bésame Mucho,&#8221; edited by Jaime Manrique. A flurry of other anthologies of fiction, nonfiction and poetry followed. And then nothing. So like a man &#8211; gay or otherwise &#8211; who comes back into our lives as if nothing happened, that&#8217;s how it seems with the new book &#8220;From Macho to Mariposa: New Gay Latino Fiction,&#8221; edited by Rice-González and Charlie Vázquez, both from the Bronx. Though billed as &#8220;new,&#8221; much of the writing feels familiar, picking up on classic narrative themes like the coming-out confessional and tales of unrequited love. It&#8217;s like &#8220;he&#8221; never left &#8211; the collective &#8220;he&#8221; composed of 29 gay, male, Latino writers who come from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Nearly half of the contributors live in the New York area. A local reading is set for Sept. 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the LGBT Center, 208 W. 13th St. The stories vary &#8211; from a 7-year-old boy&#8217;s birthday party to the searing account of two gay teens crossing from Guatemala, through Mexico [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[﻿ Blog Source: A Gender Variance Who&#8217;s Who Research by Zagria In 1961, José Sarria was the first out gay person to ever run for public office in the US. He did not win, but he made history. Sarria went on to found the International Imperial Court System and became better known as Absolute Empress I, The Widow Norton. José was born in San Francisco, the child of unmarried Columbian and Nicaraguan immigrants. He was raised by his mother and then by his godmother for whom his mother worked as a live-in domestic. They combined their households and moved to Redwood City during the Depression of the 1930s. They both indulged his fondness for dressing in their clothes, and encouraged his singing. He took lessons from a retired opera singer. In addition to English and his native Spanish, he also learned French and German. His first lover was Paul Kolish, an Austrian refugee whom he tutored. Sarria enlisted in the US Army during World War II, despite his short height, by seducing the major at the recruiting station. He was assigned to the Signals Corps. He was rejected for Intelligence for unstated reasons (probably for being fey), and was trained [...]]]></description>
