There are a number of organizations that do work to support the Latinx community, and there are also a number of organizations that work to support the LGBTQ community. However, it seems that often times these organizations exist mutually exclusive of each other. That is where organizations like AJAAS and Galaei come in. These are organizations that support the Latinx LGBTQ community through conferences, fundraisers, and other forms of activism. I also chose to include Julio Salgado, a queer Latinx artist, whose work serves as a form of political protest. His work centers around undocumented queer Latinx people and the struggles they face in today’s political climate.
These organizations and activists like Salgado are extremely important to the research that is represented on this website. They point out that there is not as big of a space for queer Latinx people to feel included and welcomed. Therefore they take it upon themselves to create spaces for people like them. The work that these people do will inspire others to continue raising their voices and celebrating their identity and cultures.
