Tal Como Somos/Just As We Are -- Gay and Trans Latinos

Tal Como Somos (Just As We Are) reveals what it's like to be Latino yet not fit the cultural ideals of man, woman, and family. This feature length documentary follows the lives of six Latino gay and bisexual men and a transgender woman capturing their shared realities: the love and separation from their families, the support of friends, the struggle with religious faith, the unkindness of the school years, the alienation created by race and immigration, and the courage to confront adversity and HIV/AIDS. In Spanish and English.

I'd like to see a documentary on the latino lgbt community that has transmen included. This group is so often overlooked. I still think this is an interesting clip.

Life isnt easy for a Latino in the USA and add being gay to that. Its even more difficult...

I'm a proud 19 year old gay latino.

I saw the film at the Chicago Latino Film Festival -- and it did not disappoint. It has an honesty and integrity that the subjects bring to it that draws you in.
