So what do you know about ballroom culture? Ballroom culture in 1980s New York City was an underground LGBTQ+ subculture primarily formed by Queer and Trans individuals from the Black diaspora, and Latino/Latina/Latine people played a major role in shaping the scene as we know it today.   Today, houses like laborivogue in Puerto Rico, houseofbrava in Peru, houseofapocalipstick in Mexico, and draguealo in the Dominican Republic continue to highlight Latine contributions to the contemporary ballroom scene.    🏳️‍🌈 Looking for more fascinating LGBTQ+ history?
