New Mexico’s LGBTQ+ advocacy timeline By Madeline Pukite @madelinepukite
While the history of the LGBTQ+ advocacy movement is still being written and there is still much work to be done, there has been evidence of progress being made in New Mexico throughout the past century. The following is a timeline of the advancement of queer peoples and groups in New Mexico since the 1920s.
1920s: The early part of the LGBTQ+ rights movement had its own start in New Mexico as gay and lesbian artists and writers found safe spaces in cities like Santa Fe and Taos. The move to these cities proved that queer communities were drawn to smaller, rural areas and not just larger, urban locations. 1961: The New Mexico state legislature removed criminal punishment for consensual same-sex relations. 1969: The Stonewall Riots were
a series of riots against the police in front the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar located in New York City. The riots, which occurred from June 28 to July 3 of that year, spearheaded the gay rights movement. This was led in large part by activist Marsha P. Johnson, causing ripples of movements to spark up across the nation. These riots marked a turning point for the activist movement, allowing for greater freedom for LGBTQ+ communities in states around the U.S., like New Mexico.

Marchers at the Albuquerque Pride Parade in June 2019 carry letters that spell out “PRIDE.”
1976: Albuquerque’s first pride celebration was hosted by local advocacy group Juniper and the Metropolitan Community Church, both of which focused on “community, support and self-acceptance in the face of mainstream prejudice,” according to the New Mexico History Museum. 1977: An Albuquerque pride march in June 1977 was followed by a rally that featured New Mexico local Harry Hay as a speaker. Hay was a co-founder of the Mattachine Society, a gay rights advocacy group that started in the 1950s. 1983: A local drag and gay club called the Albuquerque Social Club officially opened, and quickly became the hub of the city’s queer community. 1984: The New Mexico Gay Rodeo Association was established as a way to bring the western lifestyle to queer communities. It is still held once a year and fundraises for different causes, including helping individuals with AIDS that live in the state. The New Mexico Gay Rodeo Association is also part of the International Gay Rodeo Association. 2004: New Mexico’s Sandoval County began issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. The licenses were discontinued at the objections of Attorney General Patricia Madrid. Afterward, the validity of the licenses were questioned, but in 2013, Attorney General Gary King reaffirmed that the licenses issued were always valid. 2007: A Massachusetts state
judge ruled that because of genderneutral language in New Mexico laws, Massachusetts could issue marriage licenses to gay couples from New Mexico. At the time, gay marriage in Massachusetts was legal but out-of-state couples from other states where gay marriage was illegal (except New Mexico and Rhode Island) could not obtain a marriage license in Massachusetts. This ruling, which was allowed due to New Mexico’s vague legislative language, gave gay couples from New Mexico the right to get married in Massachusetts, even though the license would not be valid outside of Massachusetts. 2013: Same-sex marriage officially became legal in New Mexico. 2015: Gay marriage was legalized nationally by the U.S. Supreme Court. Since the legalization of gay marriage federally in 2015, the push for acceptance and legal rights has not wavered within the LGBTQ+ community. With ongoing movements to fight for non-discriminatory legislation, having queer history taught in schools, continued legal acceptance of trans identities and more, the fight for queer and trans liberation is far from over.

LGBTQ+ mentor Frankie Flores champions queer issues on campus By Rebecca Hobart @rjhobart
Everyday, LGBTQ Resource Center director Frankie Flores supports and advocates for queer and transgender communities at the University of New Mexico. National Coming Out Day on Monday, Oct. 11 proves to be no different. Flores started their undergraduate program at the University of New Mexico in 2008, where a feminism action capstone course drove them to get involved with the then-new LGBTQ Resource Center, which has aimed to support education and advocacy efforts for queer and trans communities at UNM. “There is no right or wrong way to be out,” Flores said. “If you come out to just you and your partner, that’s okay. I encourage you to be as out as you can and to push those boundaries. I also acknowledge the emotional tax (coming out) carries and that not everybody can do so.” Though working with the LGBTQ
Resource Center wasn’t what Flores had in mind for a career path, Flores said they “really fell in love with the work and with assisting students.” Flores started with the center as a volunteer and assumed the role of program aide in 2011, eventually taking on the role of director in 2017. “I didn’t have queer mentorship … There’s not a lot of safe spaces for queer folks to go,” Flores said. Flores said they seek to create safe spaces on campus for LGBTQ+ youth where the mentorship of trusted older, queer adults are available to support those students. “(Flores) is a fierce advocate for people who are not always given a seat at the table,” said Alejandro Mendiaz-Rivera, long-time friend and member of LGBTQ Resource Center advisory board. Mendiaz-Rivera said Flores has their heart set on empowering LGBTQ+ youth of all backgrounds in collegiate spaces. “Sometimes (Flores) is a oneperson show, in the best sense of the expression,” Mendiaz-Rivera said. “They don’t let a small budget or
being short-staffed get in the way of doing the things they have to do … to make sure that LGBTQ students are being advocated for and have a safe space on campus.” Flores said UNM President Garnett Stokes has been a steadfast ally to the resource center, even attending the LGBTQ+ spring graduation ceremony in 2019 and a pride parade with Vice President for Equity and Inclusion Assata Zerai in August 2021. “(The LGBTQ Resource Center) has had very strong support across this campus,” Flores said. “This administration under President Stokes has been the most inclusive that we’ve had in the past ten years.” Zerai is the first Black, openly queer vice president to serve in the equity and inclusion division at UNM, according to Flores. “(Zerai) has really pushed diversity on this campus forward,” Flores said. “It is so profound to have someone at such a high level of leadership reflect who we are.” Stokes highlighted and honored Transgender Day of Remembrance

Martín Wannam amplifies queer, brown justice through artwork By Rebecca Hobart @rjhobart
With a commitment and passion for creating art which spurs conversations, University of New Mexico graphic design professor Martín Wannam educates “through a brown, queer lens” and broaches an ongoing dialogue on how queer individuals experience social and political systems in Guatemala. The experiences, as well as his identity of growing up in Guatemala and being an immigrant, are critical components in informing Wannam’s art and teaching at UNM. Wannam said queerness and brownness are core themes in his art. “It’s rare that you can really detach the artist from their own identity,” Wannam said. “It’s impossible to say that my art or my teaching doesn’t revolve around the way that I am.” Wannam said he identities as marica, which is a similar but not direct Spanish translation from "gay" in English. “I identity with marica because there’s such a construct for gay,” Wannam said. “Gay (implies) whiteness and specific stereotypical phenotype and structures of gender expression. Marica (implies) brown and not rich. So, it comes with different structures (and) identifies a different community.” Existing as such and educating through the representation of Black, Indigenous and people of color and queer individuals are important pieces of Wannam’s teaching.

“It’s interesting to think about white, cis(gender), gay men because they’re so in touch with white supremacy,” Wannam said. “It comes with blue eyes, buff, really beautiful western features. So, that’s where when folks do think about gayness or that spectrum of queerness, it goes back to this idea that … we have to fit that stereotype.” Wannam said it isn’t exclusively the responsibility of queer, BIPOC individuals to inform people on conversations which directly pertain to LGBTQ+ issues or language, and greater education is needed. “(Wannam) entered our program making photographs of his community in Guatemala City, examining how queer youth there resist the bigotry of both state and church,” associate professor of photography Meggan Gould said via email. “Martín has an acute ability to make artwork that is simultaneously sharp cultural criticism and poignant reflection.” Wannam said he intentionally asks students for the name and pronouns that they identify with to foster a safe, comfortable space in his classes. “My queerness, for sure, affects the way that I teach, the way that I see my students,” Wannam said. Wannam said he takes up space on campus by intentionally teaching through contemporary examples of queerness and people of color, and said that “modern (examples) are ... most of the time through whiteness because they’re the ones that had access to all the knowledge and tools.” “(Wannam’s) just a brave person

in the themes that he tackles,” former student Marlene Tafoya said. “The work speaks for itself and … his character comes out in his work.” Wannam said that, as a lecturer, he advocates for non-perfectionism from students in his courses, which is one way he deviates from perfectionist practices that are rooted in colonialism. “It’s important to teach (students) that everything is okay; it’s valid,” Wannam said. “We should not be teaching ‘this is wrong or right’ … Nothing is wrong; maybe it’s just not communicating enough of what you want to put out there.” Wannam is also part of Fronteristxs Collective, which seeks to address campaigns and coalitions in New Mexico, including issues centric to incarceration and private prisons, through art and education. This collective is composed of four artists total and Wannam said it operates through the framework of “the system doesn’t work (and) reform doesn’t really function.” He said that while there isn’t a singular solution to undertaking these critical issues, Fronteristxs Collective encourages a collective input. Wannam said he identifies with Regina Galindo and Sandra Monterroso, who are both Guatemalan artists. “I go back to history, to movements of resistance, what my own peers in the community back home are doing,” Wannam said. “Mostly now, I’m paying attention to who’s my audience ... and how I can speak really directly to people.” According to Wannam, his

art functions as a protest to U.S. imperialism in Guatemala and the erasure of history from Guatemalan perspectives. “I’m not an activist,” Wannam said. “I might be a little bit of an activist through my collective work but I don’t claim that title because I am an artist and I create conceptual thinking and try to (create) an aesthetic way for people to think about issues.” Wannam is currently showing an exhibition at the Harwood Art Cen-
ter called "La Furia en contra de la Máquina" with Tafoya, which Tafoya said addresses systems of oppression including religion and capitalism. “I create questions and I create conversations, but I do not create solutions,” Wannam said.

LETTER
National Coming Out Day celebrates LGBTQ+ community, defies colonialism
Greetings beloved trans and queer family, our allies, advocates and accomplices, Happy National Coming Out Day! I am so happy you are sitting in your authentic self. For those who don’t have the capacity for being out, thank you for staying with us and fighting through the hard times, we hold you near to us. National Coming Out Day means so many different things to many of us. For many, this is a day of celebration, a joyous milestone of affirming oneself. For others, it is a somber day, reminding us of those who were not able to live in their authenticity or punished for doing so. The concept of being out is a colonial construct. Before colonization, trans and queer folks existed not as separate, but as
part of the larger community. We have, are and will exist despite the ways that our bodies and existences are punished. According to the 2017 New Mexico Youth Risk & Resiliency Survey, 15.1% of high school students identify as either lesbian, gay, bisexual or are unsure of their sexual orientation. This number is an indicator that young folks are holding space for their holistic selves. In the scope of work that I do, I have the immense pleasure of advising the Queer Student Alliance. In working with them, I have found that younger folks are looking to connect with their past. They are looking for ways to honor their past so they can pave a new way forward. They are redefining what “out” means to them and whether, consciously or not, they are remembering
their ancestral strength. Being out is not a linear thing. Nor is it one-and-done. We come out in multitudes of ways and times. There is a narrative circulating that trans and queer language is becoming “too much.” When I hear this, I recall this quote from Cherrie Morraga: “When you are not physically starving, you have the luxury to realize psychic and emotional starvation.” Our youth are in such an amazing position of dissecting the language that was handed down to them and choosing to reinterpret it to fit their understanding of self. We have fought hard so that they may have some respite to create space for themselves in ways that others could not. It’s not that they are creating new identities; it is that they are finally creating language to replace what was stolen.
Cultures prior to colonization had language to describe the multitudes of experiences people had. This language was beaten out of us, but our culture was not. It is always important to remember that being trans, being queer, is a culture. We are more than who we love or who we sleep with. When you come out you are embracing your culture — a culture that has been denied, villainized, victimized and scorned for centuries. Coming out isn’t done for others. It is done for ourselves, to step into our authenticity. Because we all want to be seen. We all want to be seen for who we know ourselves to be, not for who we are expected to be. Coming out is an act of resistance against colonial violence, a defiance against systems of oppression. Coming out is stepping
into the beautiful light our ancestors shine upon us as we reclaim our rightful space. Thank you to all those who came before us, and the nameless voices that we have forgotten. In coming out, let us honor those who weren’t able to come out — to fight in memory of those who were taken from us for doing so. As we celebrate National Coming Out Day, let it be a call to action to protect those most marginalized, particularly trans women of color, who experience high rates of societal and systemic violence. Let us move forward using “we” instead of “I.” Because we will create the world we want to live in, but I cannot do it alone.

Queer representation in the media By Rebecca Hobart & Joseph McKee
dant with humanity. Throughout the film, we see Milk present in multidimensional forms — as a politician, a businessman, a queer person and lover. Youth today can look to Milk for examples of LGBTQ+ individuals taking up space. If you are as enamored with biographical films and LGBTQ+ history as I am, “Milk” is the movie for you.
@rjhobart @josephdmckee Queer media broaches conversations on queer existence and resilience, and gives the opportunity for the LGBTQ+ community to see themselves represented in an accurate way. Here, we’ve laid out some of our favorite and most poignant examples of queer representation through various mediums. Joseph’s picks: OIL OF EVERY PEARL’S UN-INSIDES, album by SOPHIE SOPHIE was a Scottish trans woman musician, and her tragic and untimely death earlier this year was painful for many of her fans and the LGBTQ+ community. SOPHIE’s legacy and artistic genius will forever reside in one of her most well-known works, “OIL OF EVERY PEARL’S UN-INSIDES.” Released in 2018, this album is emotional, genre-bending and magnificent. Even three years after its initial release, the album continues to sound fresh and postcontemporary, unlike anything that is currently being released. “OIL OF EVERY PEARL’S UN-INSIDES” is a distorted, beautiful and impassioned album that explores themes of self, body and love. Some of my favorite tracks off this album are “Is It Cold In The Water?” and “Not Okay” and the iconic “Immaterial.” The gritty, chaotic and pop-electric maximalist style of these songs showcases SOPHIE’s ability as not only a producer but also a songwriter. Pushing through the boundaries of the definitions of electronic and pop music, SOPHIE

defined herself as a leading figure within the music industry. Her artwork, artistic vision and influence will not be forgotten. “Paris is Burning” (1990), movie directed by Jennie Livingston “Paris is Burning” was directed by Jennie Livingston and released in 1990. The film provides an honest, blunt and raw depiction of the lives of queer people and drag queens in New York City in the late 1980s. It follows the ballroom scene in New York City and the origins of voguing. In the film, Livingston shows the importance of having queer spaces and communities for people to explore and create identity. The film shows how spaces like these are crucial, as they provide a system of support for those who are discriminated against and disowned for identifying as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Much of LGBTQ+ history is not taught in school, and while positive progress is being made, queer history must be sought out independently
by those in the community. This film is important as it depicts queer history. At its core, the documentary reveals a section of history and a perspective of the LGBTQ+ community that was never taught to me. “Paris is Burning” is a film that I hold close, as it shines a light on the experiences of those who came before me. I highly recommend everyone watch this classic and important film; it will make you cry, so have some tissues close by.
hold a candle for queer women everywhere, as it deviates from the predominantly white, cisgender male characters in queer media. Think “Love, Simon” or “Call Me by Your Name,” which are both excellent films but lack in the inclusion of queer female perspectives. In 2019, “The L Word: Generation Q” premiered as a sequel to the original and has completed two seasons, both of which I’m absolutely delighted by.
Rebecca’s picks:
“Milk” (2008), movie directed by Gus Van Sant Based on the life of pioneer Harvey Milk, an openly gay man intent on transcending artificial barriers constructed by a heteronormative society, “Milk” depicts a life of service and courage. Milk was a gay-rights activist and the one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S., breaking new ground in California and beyond for the LGBTQ+ community. This life story of Milk, as illustrated in this film, is absolutely riveting as it is sensual and queer and abun-
“The L Word” (2004-2009), show directed by Ilene Chaiken “The L Word,” a Showtime series that ran for six seasons from 2004 to 2009, was, frankly, light-years ahead of its time. This series, a television drama cinematizing a group of lesbian and bisexual women in Hollywood, was a breath of fresh air to watch as a young adult. Years later, I’m still marveling at its grandeur. The diverse group of women and their lives illustrated in “The L Word”

“All the Young Men,” book by Ruth Coker Burks “All the Young Men” is a biography of Ruth Coker Burks which will enthrall you in a way that imaginatively catapults you to the thick of the 1980s AIDS epidemic — a crisis which disproportionately impacted LGBTQ+ communities — and the enduring resilience of the people it impacted. Coker Burks instills pride and activism in readers as she relays her experiences advocating for young men afflicted by AIDS in Arkansas. This narrative is a sensitive and impassioned look back at one woman who valiantly campaigned to educate the public on AIDS and bring dignity and empathy back to those it affected. Queerness in media is incredibly important and representation is still lacking across all platforms, but we hope this short selection of queer media has piqued your interest and cracked open the closet door for you.

PLAYLIST: ‘Pride 2021’ By Rebecca Hobart @rjhobart
Oct. 11 is National Coming Out Day, when LGTBQ+ people are encouraged to celebrate who they are, how far they’ve come and the legacy of LGBTQ+ individuals throughout history. In commemoration of queerness, I’ve constructed a non-exhaustive list of my favorite tunes either by or about LGBTQ+ protagonists. “Vogue” by Madonna A classic LGBTQ+ hit song, “Vogue” is an anthem fit for a groovy, disco moment on the dance floor. “Vogue” was inspired by a dance of the same name born in the 1980s out of Harlem, New York’s ballroom culture, later made mainstream by Madonna. Frequently heard in “Pose,” a Netflix LGBTQ+ drama, “Vogue” recognizes the Black and Latinx gay communities of which the song was influenced by. “Elton’s Song” by Elton John “Elton’s Song” is a beautiful, anguished ballad narrating a
teenage boy’s feelings for another boy with themes of shame and unrequited love. The song followed Elton John’s own coming out as bisexual in October 1976. Elton John told Rolling Stone the song was “very homoerotic.”
displaying their queerness. King Princess told music discovery platform the Line of Best Fit that “queer love was only able to exist privately for a long time.” “Forever” (Stripped) by Fletcher The stripped, bare-bones version of Fletcher’s “Forever” is sensual and fervent as one verse moves to the next with tones of mourning and resolution. Fletcher openly sings about her ex-girlfriend, Shannon Beveridge, being “the one” for forever, but not right now. In honor of coming out, queer love and the mostly inevitable queer heartbreak, “Forever” is the right song to cry to.
“Youth” by Troye Sivan From Troye Sivan’s debut album, “Youth” is the anthem every LGBTQ+ individual should listen to and dance to on National Coming Out Day this year. This upbeat pop anthem illustrates the characteristically naive, idyllic honeymoon phase feelings of coming out and being in love. Even as the minutes of this song pass you by, the feelings of youth and exhilarating queer experiences persist.
Pride celebrations are a yearround reminder of community, resilience and love, and these tunes are even more cause for praise. These songs, and more, on this “Pride 2021” playlist can be accessed by scanning the Spotify code on the right.
“1950” by King Princess The pop song “1950” by King Princess pays tribute to an era in U.S. history when LGBTQ+ people couldn’t freely exist as such in public. In the second verse, King Princess sings “I like it when we play 1950/ So bold, make them know that you’re with me,” referring to this decade in U.S. history where LGBTQ+ people were persecuted for defying public expectations and

The evolution of language within the LGBTQ+ community By Emma Trevino @itsemmatr Language is ever-changing, and this is especially true in the LGBTQ+ community. Words, phrases and acronyms have been evolving for decades in response to the call for more inclusive language and taking back a once persecuted identity. In the past decade or so, there’s been a noticeable addition of the word “queer” as an identifier for many
in the LGBTQ+ community. The addition of the “Q” (queer) has different implications than the addition of the “B” (bisexual) or the “T” (transgender) because, according to sociolinguistic researcher Remy Attig, the word “queer” means two things: an umbrella term for sexuality and an anti-establishment group. According to Attig, “queer” as an umbrella term doesn’t necessarily resonate with everyone, but using the term as a more general idea or belief system is more on par with the reclamation of
once-offensive language. “‘Queer’ as an anti-establishment group … says ‘equality doesn’t come from society recognizing us on their terms; it comes from us taking that which is inherently ours by virtue of being human beings,’” Attig said. Steven Petrow, a gay columnist for the Washington Post who often writes on LGBTQ+ issues, affirmed that many in the LGBTQ+ community don’t identify as queer. “I don’t use queer to define myself,” Petrow told the Post in
an article about the LGTBQ+ acronym. “A lot of people who are of my generation remember what a horrible hateful slur that was.” The word “queer” originated in the 16th century meaning “strange,” but around the turn of the 20th century it became a homophobic slur that was used to denigrate individuals outside of the heteronormative blueprint society had for people. It wasn’t until the 1969 Stonewall Riots that members of the LGBTQ+ community started taking back the term.

Attig, who identifies as queer, said his interest in linguistics began in looking at the way identity is navigated and understood by people who don’t fit the standard heteronormative, male-dominant society. “When you have intersecting identities that aren’t part of the group in power … it becomes a bit of an interesting way of figuring out how to communicate who you are,” Attig said. According to Attig, community-specific queer language, such as words like gay, lesbian and more, being used as opposed to standard, heteronormative language is well-documented, going at least as far back as the 1950s. “In some ways, early on (the language) was a way of connecting with people when being queer was illegal,” Attig said.

6 Language fostering inclusivity is becoming more commonplace by the day. Mainstream-accepted phrases and words that were once used to identify a person or group of people have been changing to give everyone a place in society. According to the Safe Zone Project, which describes itself as an online resource for “powerful, effective LGBTQ+ awareness,” binary language restricts accessibility for people of all genders. The project says that the phrase “ladies and gentlemen” should be replaced by “everyone,” “folks” or “honored guests.” The Safe Zone Project also advises changing professional titles with traditionally male suffixes because a person of any gender can do those jobs. For
example, “fireman” and “mailman” can easily be changed to “firefighter” and “mail clerk,” respectively. Changes in vocabulary also led to changes in acronyms that identify organizations and communities. GLAAD, an organization founded to advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, was originally an acronym for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. In 2013, the organization announced the shift to simply the GLAAD initials on their own, without the original full name behind it. The goal was to include a wider scope of people than just those who identify as gay and lesbian. “It is a natural progression that reflects the work GLAAD's staff is already leading," actor, LGBTQ+ activist and GLAAD staff member Wilson Cruz told MSNBC.
The acronym of LGBTQ+ in itself has changed as well. The more dated form of the acronym is LGBT, but in 2016, GLAAD formally added “Q” to make the acronym more inclusive, which was gradually added on by other groups and organizations as well. Although GLAAD recognizes that queer was once a pejorative term and there are individuals in the community who don’t identify as queer, GLAAD said it has been “reclaimed by some LGBT people to describe themselves.” Emma Trevino is the culture editor at the Daily Lobo. She can be contacted at culture@dailylobo. com or on Twitter @itsemmatr
