Congratulation to the Hispanic community

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Saying "the time has come," Gov. David Paterson announced Thursday he will introduce a bill in the state legislature to legalize same-sex marriage in New York.
"The time has come to act. The time has come for leadership. The time has come to bring marriage equality to the state of New York," he said in a morning news conference.

The proposed legislation would allow same-sex couples in the state to enter into civil marriages and enjoy the same rights afforded to heterosexual married couples.
Hispanics present the largest minority group in NYC, and despite the fact that Hispanics tend more to be on the down low or having sex with other men for money, the new law is good for undocumented Hispanic, since it will allow them to legalize their situation by marrying another man....the all with stating straight and a family oriented man, the moto for Hispanics in USA is " la fin justifie les moyens", they consider their genitals and a professional atout, not related in any way to sexuality or decency.

We too are immigrants

gay Latinos are crossing the border from Mexico in search of a better life and a place where they can be themselves. But when they get here they're not always finding the American dream.

But Manuel and Gonzalez, who have been together for eight years, also live with moments of panic. Gonzalez, 32, is an undocumented immigrant. Fourteen years ago he walked across the border from Mexico in hopes of finding a job and helping his family back home. He found his way to San Diego, where other Mexican immigrants called him joto, meaning "faggot" in Spanish, and mariposa, the Spanish word for "butterfly," another pejorative
reference to gay men.

Conditions for gay men were much worse back home, however, and Gonzalez lives in constant fear of deportation. Even today, routine traffic stops can be terrifying




. "Trust me: We always live in fear," says Manuel, also born in Mexico but now a U.S. citizen.

HIV Infection Cases Surging Among Latinos; Gays in Border Towns Most at Risk

Health officials in California and Mexico have detected "alarming" increases in HIV infections among gay and bisexual Latino men moving across the border. New field surveys of Latino men in Tijuana and San Diego show that rates of infection are as much as ten times higher than in other California cities, according to George F. Lemp, director of the University of California's AIDS Research Program.

More than 45 percent of young gay and bisexual Latino men are infected with HIV in San Diego, while in Tijuana the infection rate is nearly 39 percent, according to Dr. Juan D. Ruiz of the California Health Department's AIDS office. Previous studies have found infection rates of about 8 to 9 percent among comparable populations in cities such as San Francisco, Sacramento, Long Beach and Riverside, Lemp said. The new study involved nearly 400 male volunteers recruited in San Diego bars and dance clubs, and in a Tijuana park known for cruising and prostitution. Researchers were members of the Bi-national AIDS Advocacy Project, known as PROCABI in Spanish.

"Those numbers are alarming and shocking, and they come as a real surprise," Lemp said. Lemp and a delegation of state experts on the epidemic have just returned from Mexico City, where they met with Mexican health officials in a collaborative effort to pin down the nature and causes of the rise in infection rates and to increase prevention and treatment services in border communities. Two cities in Mexico and two California counties are targeted for new research into AIDS and other STDs and their prevention and treatment resources.

In Tijuana, 56 percent of the men had received information on preventing HIV, compared to 77 percent in San Diego. In Tijuana, 46 percent of the men had tested for HIV, versus 63 percent in San Diego. Tijuana men were more likely to report that they had engaged in risky sex with women and also to have engaged in unprotected sex while high on drugs. In San Diego, the men surveyed were more likely to engage in risky sex only with other men. Men in both cities reported that their sex with both men and women often occurred on opposite sides of the border, the survey showed.

Nos otros los Homos ....

The tendency of Hispanics to be homosexuals has its historical explanation.

When English and French-Canadian fur trappers first grew acquainted with the cultures of the Native Americans among whom they found themselves, they were surprised to find that there were significant numbers of men dressed as women among the tribes of the region. What intrigued them the most, however, was the esteem with which these men were held by their fellow tribesmen. These men were considered to be spiritually gifted, a special gift to the tribe by God, men with a particular insight into spiritual matters. As they were encountered in most tribes, the trappers chose a French word to describe them all: "berdache." 

The term "Two-Spirit" has been proposed as a replacement.

Other terms also fail to convey the breadth of the phenomenon and the esteem in which these men were held. While men living as men with other men were a phenomenon that varied widely among tribes, the phenomenon of the man dressed as a woman who engaged in the pursuit of spiritual matters was almost universal among North American tribes. 

There were exceptions, of course, to the celebration of Two-Spirits, such as the Pimas of Arizona, but in most cases, Native American tribes, particularly the tribes of the Great Plains and the Southwest, were greatly admiring of their Two-Spirits. Among the Hopi and the Zuni of Arizona and New Mexico, these Two-Spirits held a special status. They were keepers of the ancient traditional stories of creation, healing and growth. But more than that, they were the keepers of the spiritual traditions, recognized for their special gift of being "between genders."

Indeed, some tribes considered their Two-Spirits as being in the middle of a continuum of gender, not an abberation between two opposite genders as the western European model would have it. In this way, they were prescient of the view of many modern psychologists, who themselves are uncomfortable with the black/white, either/or gender identification of the European model.
