| Long before he became lesbian superstar by simultaneously making Black,
Latina and LGBT her-story, I had the privilege of knowing Ignacio Rivera.
Ignacio is the matriarch of the first out, lesbian-headed family ever to be
profiled in Ebony magazine· In a single camera-ready moment Ignacio shattered
all their ghettolicious myths about who and what lesbians are and challenged
their narrow definitions of both the Black family and the LGBT "family". |

| "A storyteller, radical queer colored mujerista parent, activist artist,
and strategic/visionary organizer, he is committed to the liberation of our
bodies, minds, hearts, and souls. He is a warrior and a listener, a leader
who is accountable to his peoples. We are very blessed to have him on this
earth at this time. I am honored to call him my brother." |
