“Somos” Is A New Group For Seattle’s LGBTQ Latinx Community

March 14, 2017• byMichael Strangeways

SomosMerch

It’s been around since 1991 as a community resource for the area’s LGBTQ Latinx community but Seattle’s ENTRE HERMANOS isn’t the only game in town for queer Seattlites from Spanish speaking cultures. Reflecting Seattle and Washington State’s growing and diverse Latinx population, a new community group for Seattle’s LGBTQ people of Latinx descent has just been created. SOMOS, which is Spanish for “we are” has stated their mandate as:

“Somos is a socio-political group for LGBTQ Latinx folks. Our goal is to create community, share resources and foster learning to engage in collective action.”

“Somos es un grupo sociopolítico para las personas LGBTQ Latinas. Nuestra meta es crear comunidad, compartir recursos y promover el aprendizaje para tomar acción colectiva.”

The group has already organized two upcoming events. The first one is an introductory kick-off mixer scheduled for next Thursday, March 23 from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm at Montis Grill, 4864 Beacon Avenue South on Beacon Hill. More info from the FB invite:

Únete a celebrar el lanzamiento de Somos Seattle, nueva organización para Latinos LGBTQ.

Just a week or so later, on Saturday, April 1, 2017 SOMOS will host their first community forum/conversation, with trans Latinx activist Jennicet Gutiérrez at Gay City, 517 East Pike Street. This event is a collaboration with Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement to create and promote community awareness about queer Latinx people.

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
