The organizations, which focus on the rights and welfare of Hispanic LGBTQ+ people, are 'severely underfunded,' according to Frankie Miranda, the first openly gay president of the Hispanic Federation.
Why it matters: More young people of Latino origins identify as LGBTQ+ than any other demographic at a time when conservatives are making a concerted push against gay and transgender rights.ĭetails: The Hispanic Federation will dedicate between $25,000 to $50,000 to each of the 20 organizations selected for the initiative. The Hispanic Federation, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering Latino communities, pledged $1 million on Tuesday to LGBTQ+ groups through a new initiative called Advance Change Together.
