Zero Homophobia, Day 2: "I Choose Loving Our Families." 5/17/2022

On May 16-20th, 2022 Oasis Latino-LGBTQIA+ Wellness Center brought together community-based organizations, service providers, activists, and community leaders for a series of web-based discussions as part of the Zero Homophobia National Campaign. This year our central campaign theme was ”I Choose Loving”. Alongside LGBTQ and Latino leaders from across the country and in Latin America, we discussed the importance of loving: ourselves, our families, our love stories, and our resistance and resilience.

For day two of the Zero Homophobia campaign we hosted a movie night! We screened the short film, Bibi, and hosted a chat with the team behind the powerful story about the role family plays for LGBTQ+ latinxs’.

“Bibi, tells the story of a Latinx father and son who can talk about anything—but only in writing, in the letters, they pass back and forth when the conversation seems too much. Based on the experiences of the filmmakers behind the project, the 18-minute film explores intersectionality in a powerful way, illustrating the beauty and conflict that can arise as we move between languages, places, and societal expectations.”
