The shame within

Hey guys sorry for being inactive but do I have a story to share that revolves around being ashamed of my heritage. Around primary school, my mom said she was coming over to have lunch with me and I didn’t really believe her but then during lunch time she appeared at my school and I felt ashamed because she couldn’t speak English all that well and dressed differently compared to the other adults at the school. I went up to her and told her that lunch had already ended and she could go home even though lunch was still going on, I did this out of a sense of shame and if I could go back in time I would have lead my mom to the lunch room and have sat down with her, I don't care if people would stare, my mom is my hero and to spend time with her would be better than anything else.

On being gay and part of the Latino community

2 parts of my identity that are constantly clashing are being Latino and being part of the LGBT community. there is a concept in the Latino community called machismo that pretty much states that men have to be men and women have to be women and to act otherwise is to be seen as an anomaly. This along with how religious we tend to be has made it hard being gay in the Latino community. This doesn't help because we already face enough discrimination as is for the color of our skin and to have to hide our identity even more if we're part of the LGBT is quite sad, this creates more division rather than unity.
