29, is a queer man of color born and raised in Santa Ana, California where he works in his community spreading the message of visibility, acceptance, and liberation. A proud son of immigrant parents coming from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, he is proud to be Latino and to represent that community. A longtime member of community organization DeColores Queer Orange County, he feels passionate about family and hopes that ending deportations and incarcerations will stop breaking immigrant families apart. “Too often we are marginalized and treated in a ‘separate but equal’ manner and that needs to stop. I am not asking for equal rights, I’m demanding the human rights that I was born to have, and I’m talking about something bigger than marriage.”
