Tal como somos. Latino GBT community
Description
Latino culture is celebrated for its rich traditions, close-knit families, and strong faith, but being Latino and gay, bisexual, or transgender is often seen as unforgivable. This documentary examines the lives of six Latino GBT men and women, focusing on their relationships with their families as well as their culture, religion, and professional lives. Subjects include Gus and Marcelo, a driven young Mexican couple; Gabriela, once a boy, now trying to prove she is worthy of acceptance as a woman; Ernesto, a Venezuelan struggling for a way to tell his family he's bisexual and HIV-positive; and David, a Colombian burying his past in Manhattan life. In addition, the film's host-a young, gay, Latino man from Chicago named Moises-provides incisive commentary.
