More 2014 Honor 41 Trans Videos

There were nine trans people named to the 2014 edition of the Honor 41 list honoring the contributions of LGBT Latinos.  As their videos get released, I'll be posting them to TransGriot.

I've already posted Ruby Corado's video, and now I'll post the latest ones to be released in the persons of Luis Gutierrez-Mock and Brenda Del Rio Gonzales

2014 Honor 41 List Initial Videos

The links to the 2014 Honor 41 List honoree videos are becoming available. .  

So what's the Honor 41 list?  It was founded by Alberto B. Mendoza last year to recognize and celebrate LGBTQ Latin@ community role models.   The inaugural list had 5 trans people on it, this year there were nine trans people selected.  One of them was my DC homegirl Ruby Corado.



I'm going to compose an Honor 41 post highlighting all the trans Latin@ peeps selected this year and those nine videos..

In the meantime, congratulations to all the people selected this year, and to see the posted so far Honor 41 List videos, just click on this link.

The 2014 Honor 41 List Honorees Are...

The Honor 41 list founded by Alberto B. Mendoza celebrates  LGBTQ Latin@ role models, and last year we were excited to learn that the inaugural 2013 class of Honor 41 List honorees included 5 trans people.

The Honor 41 list takes its name from a 1901 Mexico City hate crime in which a clandestine party was raided and the 41 people in attendance were beaten, arrested, and disappeared from society because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.   In Mexico, the number 41 became a slang term to refer to someone with a different sexual orientation

Honor 41 confronts this history and reclaims it to honor inspirational individuals and LGBTQ leaders of Latina/o heritage who are blazing the trail toward acceptance and equality. 

The Honor 41 2014 Class was announced this morning, and the trans representation is up to nine people.   As you probably guessed I do know a few of them.   Ruby Corado is one of the nine people honored this year!




"Everyone has a story, so having the opportunity to capture the stories of these amazing role models and share them with others is incredible, said Alberto B. Mendoza, founder of Honor 41 and the producer of the Honor 41 List.  "I know by sharing these stories, we are making it easier for Latino LGBTQ individuals to come out and live their lives with honor and pride."  

In the coming weeks as they are released and I get them from Alberto, I'll be posting the links to all the Honor 41 trans honoree videos.

Congratulations to all the Honor 41 class of 2014 honorees for all they do to advance our human rights struggle and understanding of LGBTQ people inside and outside the Latino/a community. 

2014 Edition Of The Honor 41 List Coming Soon!

Last year Alberto Mendoza unveiled the inaugural version of the Honor 41 List, which serves to honor and highlight the contributions of LGBTQ Latin@ people.  

I was thrilled to see there was trans masculine and transfeminine representation on the inaugural list, with 5 trans people, Bamby Salcedo, Arianna Inurritegui Lint, Maria Roman, Danielle Castro and Isaac Gomez.being honored in 2013.  

I'm happy to hear that the 2014 edition of the Honor 41 list will be coming out soon, and I'm interested to see who will be honored this year.   TBLGQ Latin@ people are doing wonderful work across the country to move our community and our TBLG human rights struggle forward, in addition to contributing their talents to make our communities and our country better.   It's nice to see them get some recognition for doing so.

I'm also hoping when the 2014 Honor 41 List is revealed, we'll have even more deserving trans Latin@ trans folks honored this year.

When the Honor 41 list is finally revealed, I'll be honored to post the links to it.

Honor 41 List Trans Honoree Videos

The Honor 41 list was created by Alberto Mendoza to bring visibility to and honor the contributions of Latina and Latino TBLGQ people.

On the inaugural Honor 41 list we have five transpeople represented on it in the persons of Bamby Salcedo, Arianna Inurritegui Lint, Maria Roman, Danielle Castro and Isaac Gomez.

Nominations will open soon for the 2014 edition of the Honor 41 list, so if there are BTLGQ Latina/o folks you think deserve to be on the next list, when Alberto sends me the word, you TransGriot readers will also know when, where and how to send those nominations in. 

I have a few peeps I'm definitely going to suggest for next year's list.  And naw, they are not all Texans either.

As part of the process of being named to the Honor 41 List, the honorees also submitted videos.  So take the time to get to know our trans Latino/a brothers and sisters who were honored on this inaugural list and hope to see many more Honor 41 trans honorees in future editions of it.

Upon Further Review, The 2013 Honor 41 List...

Has FIVE trams people on it..    There are four trans Latinas and trans man Isaac Gomez on the 2013 edition of the Honor 41 List. 

To explain the significance of the Honor 41 list and how it became a reality, here's the creator of the list Alberto Mendoza to discuss it. 

The Honor 41 List highlights and shines a much needed media spotlight on the contributions of LGBT Latino/a people.

I knew about three of the women who were honored when I composed my initial post about it and have had the pleasure of meeting two of them personally over the last several months in Arianna and Bamby. 

The videos for numbers 31-41 weren't up yet at the time i compiled the initial post, and I wanted to share that good news with the rest of our community and congratulate the women I knew who had been given the honor of being on the inaugural list..

Speaking of honors, the other trans Latina besides the lovely trio of Bamby Salcedo, Maria Roman and Arianna Inurritegui Lint who is on the initial list is Danielle Castro. 

Maria, Danielle and Isaac I am so looking forward to meeting you one day.  I wish you continued success in being outstanding role models for not only the trans Latina/o community and the TBLG Latina/o one, but your local, state and the national LGBT community as a whole.
