Showing results for "the queen" in Specific Demographics

El esperado nuevo libro del autor de eighteen. ¿Qué inspiró eighteen, el poemario revelación de Alberto Ramos? Este audiolibro narra sin cortapisas qué pasó en la vida de este joven estudiante para huir de su casa en Málaga rumbo a Suecia, esperando una vida mejor y encontrándose allí con otro tipo de crueldad, la marginación social, el abuso.

Nos encontramos, en el umbral de queen, con varias cartas íntimas en las que el protagonista, Alberto, se desahoga y decide romper con todo lo que conoce hasta ese momento.

At age five Sonia Rodriguez's stepfather began to abuse her; at 10 she was molested by her uncle and beaten by her mother when she told on him; and by 13 her home had become a hangout for the Latin Kings and Queens who were friends with her older sister. Threatened by rival gang members at school, Sonia turned away from her education and extracurricular activities in favor of a world of drugs and violence.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, did you know that you naturally have some amazing leadership skills inside you, based upon your experience, that you may not be capitalizing on? Now, it’s not to say that our straight brothers and sisters don’t have the potential to be rock star leaders, but — through many of our shared experiences being LGBTQ+ folks — we’ve had the opportunity to truly develop such skills as leveraging empathy, shaping our culture, being courageous, and being authentic.

Drags, fags and trans-women were attracted to the Big Apple because they were able to find work as impersonators in a small number of Lower East Side clubs. Decades before Stonewall, they occupied the margins of society, determined to live as they pleased, despite of the attentions of the police. Sometimes reduced to stealing to get their costumes, these girls were unstoppable, fearless and fabulous. When a cache of their letters were discovered, these individuals were given a voice where they had traditionally been silenced.

No Tea, No Shade is a collective anthem written by six drag queens who believe in equality, peace, and in a world that loves and respects all people. The defiant legacy of drag will endure fearmongering and hate because their hearts have endured the unthinkable, their courage has been relentlessly tested, and to be blunt, they have the balls to prevail.
