“Group helps gay Latinos with their struggles” – Greensboro, North Carolina
Tagged: family, North Carolina
Hernandez, who was gay, felt unloved and isolated because his family disapproved of his sexual orientation, Sanches says.
His death left Sanches wanting to help other gay Latinos struggling with their sexuality. Earlier this year, he helped start Luz y Esperanza, a support group for gay Latinos. In Spanish, the name of the group means “light and hope.”
The group, which meets weekly at FaithAction International House, is sponsored by the Mental Health Association in Greensboro. The agency offers several other Spanish-speaking support groups through its Latino Mental Health Awareness Campaign. Stress caused by immigration, domestic violence and depression are often issues they discuss.”*
