Hola mi gente! Quiero dar saludos a todos!

About Me

I am a Mexican-American gay man working and living in fabulous Hollywood, and I welcome the opportunity to meet anyone and everyone. I particularly embrace the chance to interact with my Gay and Lesbian Latino hermanos. I know a lot of the time our community and cultura try to keep us hidden in the back of the fiestas or talk about us under whispered breath. My motto is one of inclusion, one of tolerance and one of visibility. Bienvenido! Espero que podamos charlar un poco pronto.

My Interests

My interests include practicing yoga, writing, reading, hanging with friends in West Hollywood, being a Social Butterfly and of course my dog - Rufus!

I'd like to meet:

I am interested in networking. Our Hispanic community is 40 million large and growing. I know under all of that catholic, machismo oppression exist my gay & lesbian brethren and I want to hear from you. I want to help those who have no one to turn to, those who feel alone or shamed, and those who simply need or want another friend. One can never be too rich to have too many friends, can he?I also just want to have fun. I want to share the Hollywood gossip, help support our GAY and LATINO writers, directors, actors and producers. I want to increase awareness and visibility of my GAY and LATINO community.

Music:

Rufus Wainwright, Shakira, Scissor Sister, Juanes, Madonna, Alejandro Sanz, Erasure, Massive Attack, Gwen Stefani, Underworld, Morrissey, Patsy Cline, Pet Shop Boys - I have very eclectic taste in music.
