Happy Wednesday! I was thinking a lot about how the culture of machismo really affects the LGBTQ community in Latin America. I stumbled upon this article about what that means for gay Latinos. Even though this article mainly discusses the experiences of gay Latinos, I pondered the following: How does a patriarchal society fueled by machismo affect transgender women, lesbian women, and others beyond the gay Latino community? How might machismo have impacted Atala's ex-husband to move forward with his actions in court against her? How does machismo clash with being queer? Is there a way for it to blend together with the LGBTQ community & its culture? Let me know what you think in the comments below.
Hello there! My name is Jacqueline Arteaga and I am one of your vice chairs for BMUN 67! I am currently a sophomore at UC Berkeley studying a double major in Political Science and Spanish Literature. I consider myself to be from both Santa Ana and Garden Grove in Orange County, California as both shaped my identity. Apart from BMUN, I also work for the External Affairs Vice President’s office of the ASUC (our student government) which deals with the issues of our student body. In my spare time, I watch a bit (or quite a lot) of Netflix and Hulu series. In recent times, I have also become quite a fan of musicals like Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Hamilton, and Les Miserables. I can’t wait to meet you all at conference and I wish you the best of luck! Best wishes, Jacqueline
