Latina lesbian organizations in the United States are community based organizations that emphasize the intersection of Latina and lesbian identities.[1][2] Generally, social in nature—they emerged in response to the limited availability of spaces that spoke to their racial, gender, and sexual experiences. These groups often addressed political issues specific to their geographical locations and social/cultural/historical contexts. Nationwide organizations focused on larger national issues that impacted immigrants and LGBTQ communities.
These groups emerged in relation to other identity based groups of the civil rights era, including LGBT organizations, feminist organizations and Latino and Chicano empowerment groups. These movements were often responding to racism and ethnocentricism of the Women’s Movement, the male centered nature of LGBTQ groups, and homophobia in Latino organizations and the Chicano movement.
