Workbook
Queer and Latino
Navigating a Culture That Loves You and Does Not Know What to Do With You
This workbook names both identities at full strength — and what each community owes you.
For the queer person who is also Latino — Chicano, Mexican-American, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Salvadoran, Colombian — navigating a cultural community where family loyalty is everything, Catholicism is system, machismo defines the social script, and queerness is simultaneously invisible and present. For the person who is not choosing between their queerness and their culture. For the person who needs both.
The Name It First Experience
Being loved and being fully seen are not the same — this workbook names both. Queer and Latino walks you through what it means to carry both identities in full: what your culture gives you and what it costs you, what the queer community assumes about you and what it misses, and what a life looks like that does not require either truth to be smaller than it is. It is for the queer Chicano, Mexican-American, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Salvadoran, and Colombian person who is not choosing between their queerness and their culture — and who needs a workbook that does not make them choose either. You finish with a documented dual identity — both truths named at full strength, and clarity about what you need from each community that claims you.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What has it cost you to be in spaces that only see one part of who you are?
- Where have you come closest to feeling seen as your whole self — and what made that possible?
- What does your culture give you that you would protect even in the face of its limitations?
