 Welcome
to the
Hombres Issue!
What simpler way is there to say it? This issue is
all about men—particularly Latino men. Specifically,
we
wanted to investigate how we gay Latinos see ourselves
and who or what has made us who we are.
Our recent QV Online Hombres Survey found starts us off
with some interesting little tidbits of information. First
of all, it let us know who were/are the individuals we
admire and look up to. In other words, who were our role
models when we were growing up? From parents to celebrities
to teachers and preachers, our readers share with us some
interesting stories about who helped make them who they
are today.
Next,
we put together a list of contemporary famous Latino hombres
and asked our readers what they thought of these guys.
From Martin Sheen to Ricky Martin, we got some really
interesting perspectives on these men.
And
in this issue, for the first time ever, we step outside
the U.S. and speak to two gay Latinos from different parts
of the world—one in Brazil and the other in London,
England. Find out what life is like for gay Latinos in
other parts of the globe.
In
another article we meet a very talented young gay Latino
poet who is truly making a big name for himself.New
Yorker Elliot Torres shares with us his thoughts on life,
love, and his journey towards happiness.
We
also continue with our on-going fictional story “Brighter
Shade of Brown” which depicts the life and times
of five gay Latino hombres.
So
sit back and enjoy this issue.
