Grupo LL “¿Quienes somos?” flyer, 1994. Nancy V. “Rusty” Barceló Papers [RG99.0351], University Archives.
From the exhibit:
As with any community, needs and desires in the LGBTQ community vary widely, often along lines of intersecting identities. El Grupo LL was a student group that sought to support and address the unique needs of LGBTQ Latinx people. Founded in 1994 and active during the mid-1990s, the organization put on potluck dinners, held regular meetings, and hosted speaker receptions at the Latino Native American Cultural Center (LNACC). Today, the LNACC partners with the Pride Alliance Center on campus to continue building community at the intersection of LGBTQ and Latinx identities by hosting annual Queer Latinidad programming.
