Join us for the panel "Queer LA: Past & Present" at the East Los Angeles Library. This intergenerational community dialogue will address the challenges and joys of building solidarity across LGBTQIA Latina/o/x/e groups that share similarities but also grapple with key differences. Social justice organizers and founding members of GLLU (Gay and Lesbian Latinos Unidos) and LU (Lesbianas Unitas) will share their historical knowledge while a younger generation will reflect on their unique contributions and hopes for the future of Latina/o/x/e LGBTQIA Los Angeles communities. Panelists include Roland Palencia, Amado Muñoz, Elena Popp, Jocelyne Sanchez, and Vanessa Quintero. Stacy Macias, associate professor in the department of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies at California State University, Long Beach, and CSRC visiting researcher as part of the Latina Futures, 2050 Lab project, will moderate the discussion. A related pop-up exhibition will feature materials from the CSRC archive.

This event will take place during the Queer Mercado, a monthly gathering of vendors who identify as Latino and part of the LGBTQ community.

Organized by the CSRC; the Latina Futures, 2050 Lab; and Roland Palencia. Co-sponsored by the Latino Policy and Politics Institute.
