The Gay Latino Collective (GLC) is a social group building professional connections among Gay Latinos in New York City and beyond with the mission of growing our networks, celebrating our culture, leveraging our resources, and strengthening our collective power.
VALUES
Community
Our membership aims to build a flourishing community of Latino professionals—a “family” and safe space where they can build deep and authentic relationships with one another.
Culture
Each person has a unique story, and through sharing our experiences and traditions, we aim to celebrate the culture of the Gay Latino community, ranging from hosting drag brunches to our annual holiday event, La Posada.
Empowerment
Our community aims to uplift each other and to further each person’s self-confidence, so we can accomplish our individual and collective dreams through courageous leadership.
Intersectionality
Created in the wake of PULSE Nightclub, the Gay Latino Collective welcomes people from all of the LGBTQIA+ community of all backgrounds to our events and community. As stated by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ``no one is free until we are all free.”
WHAT WE DO
We nurture and leverage the power of our community through socials, volunteering, and organizing.
SOCIALIZING
From weekend brunches to tight-knit family-style dinners, we foster community through social events where members can get to know one another.
VOLUNTEERING
Our members engage in service projects through mentorship, such as Y Tú También, soup kitchens, and fundraisers, such as the AIDS Walk, that benefit the community.
ORGANIZING
We leverage the power of our community to move the needle on issues such as housing, immigration, urban planning, education, and others through special events and panels.
