#ToxicMasculinity: An Outcome of #Colonialism and its Effects on the #Latinx / #Chicanx #LGBTQ+ Community
by Monica Martinez
2019
Abstract
"This research examines masculinity in the Latinx community within the U.S. Much of the theory behind masculinity involves discussing toxic masculinity and #machismo. To do this, I look at film, poetry, and literature to discuss how toxic masculinity affects #QueerLatinxs. Although this research focuses on fictional characters and the analysis of fictional works, these characters’ stories do not fall far from current LGBTQ+ Latinxs who may be experiencing the same issues. I examine La Mission, Mosquita y Mari, Gun Hill Road, 'I am Joaquin,' 'La Loca de la Raza Cosmica,' Rain God, and What Night Brings. These pieces work well with one another to show how gay Latino men, Latina lesbian women, and transgender Latina women are affected by toxic masculinity, internalized homophobia and transphobia. With this research I hope to show how the way we construct #masculinity as a society, should be reconfigured to something more positive; I also hope to eliminate #homophobia and #transphobia, as well as violence and #HateCrimes towards the LGBTQ+ community."

“No clichés, stereotypes, tropes. No didactic yawns for high school and even younger students. A real mag for a larger community.”
But to create the premier #Chicanx literary #magazine, this publication had to flee the state:
