Latino Beginnings

2005 • Directed by

Norm Green

To be Latino in America is one thing, but to be a gay Latino is another. Norman Green's documentary delves into this minority within a minority. Gay Latinos have to break through the added layer of religion and masculinity embedded in the Hispanic culture. Jesse, an openly gay college student; Marisol, a woman who's nervous about coming out to her mother; and Gustavo, a drag performer, all share their thoughts and experiences.
