OUR MISSION
To create spaces where queer Latines and allies build meaningful connections through intentional events, an online community, and Spanish practice (hopefully Português também!). Everything we do is to foster queer joy and celebrate nuestra cultura.
our story
Many of us are familiar with choosing between queer spaces and Latin spaces, because rarely do we find spaces that celebrate both. Queer Latines was founded in 2024 when I went looking for queer meetups that centered Latines and came up empty. In true hija mayor fashion, I figured if the space I was looking for didn’t exist, then I might as well build it.
What started as small meetups across NYC has grown into a thriving national community of amiguis connecting through virtual events, Spanish practice, and queer Latine joy.
I hope this space provides you the safety and joy we deserve to feel in a world that can be so cruel. Through it all, siempre somos orgullosamente Latine y cuir.
Un abrazote,
Alyssa
