Abstract

The author presents her thoughts on the future of social conditions for Hispanic Americans (Latinx) and Hispanic American LGBT people in the aftermath of the 2016 massacre at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida. She criticizes the depiction of people of color and mixed-race people as "monstrous" in nationalist immigration narratives. She goes on to discuss how trans Latinx kinship can be created through solidarity and acts of acceptance.
