Longtime lesbian writer/activist Jeanne Cordova is featured in LatinPost. A quote:
“Being a Latina butch, and also a woman, did hinder me in lots of aspects. When gays went on TV for the first time as openly gay in the early 1970’s, I wasn’t selected for those roles to represent [the] ‘out’ community, even though I had a high profile as a lesbian leader, because I was Latina and dark,” Córdova said. “But I decided that I’d rather continue my personal identity than de-gender or whiten myself …or ‘pass,’ I guess you’d call it, because I had only one self, and I wanted to tell the world that was good enough.”
