In honor of PrideMonth, here are 15 defining moments from Latin LGBTQ+ artists who have moved the needle for queer representation.
Latin Pride: From Ricky Martin to Javiera Mena, 15 Latin LGBTQ Artists Who Have Defined the MovementOn March 29, 2010, Ricky Martin came out as gay on a post on his website. “I am very proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man,” he wrote.
Since that point, a growing number of Latin artists have either come out after years in the spotlight, or many have simply started their careers by embracing their gay identities. The latter has been the case for Mexican singer-songwriter Georgel and Mexican-American reggaetonero Solomon Ray. The fact that more Latin artists are confident in their sexuality is underscored by the likes of Joy Huerta, a star as part of Jesse & Joy, who came out on social media a few months back. Or by the increasing number of videos that celebrate gay love.
