In the midst of the controversy surrounding the eminent deportation of hundreds of thousands of Dominicans of Haitian descent, it will be remiss if we do not discuss Queerness in the Dominican Diaspora, especially knowing that many Dominicans of Haitian descent are Queer or Transgender. Even in movements that strive to defend the human rights of thousands of folks, well-intentioned Dominicans contribute to the erasure and violence towards queer and Trans people.

My fellow Dominicans must recognize and learn about our Queer and Trans family on and off the island. For many of us we have to balance our Queer identity with our Dominican one. Frequently, we are not given the opportunity to be both at the same time. This piece is for you, in the cusp of diaspora trying to be an authentic self.

This powerful act of resistance is a definite indicator that Queer and Trans Dominicans are steady and confident in their fight for rights and visibility. But where does this come from? Like Polanco, many have been able to travel back to DR and use their skills learned abroad to promote Queer activism and academia.

It was the first time that Gay Dominicans were able to march in a visible presentation in unity—a powerful statement in the face of the homophobic patriarchal culture that permeates the globe. This march is one of many examples to show that, even though Queer and Trans Dominicans face violence, neglect, homelessness and depression both on the island and in the Diaspora, Queer Dominicans have found ways to remain resilient.

Art has always been an outlet for Queer expression. Be they implicit, or explicit, music and literature have played crucial roles in shaping Queer Dominican culture. There has definitely been an insurgency of Queer Dominican subjectivity in Dominican art and culture. Queer subjectivity is becoming more intentional. It is fair to say that Queer Dominicans have set the ground for Queerness to be part of Dominican identity.

Be it vulgar, artistic or political, Queer Dominicans are no longer accepting having to balance their identities. Unfortunately, like most Queer movements, the Dominican one leans heavily on the presentation of gay cis-gender men. It must be critiqued because any Queer movement is not complete if all genders and sexualities are not benefitting. Still, the diaspora has played a big role in pushing for the rights of Queer and Trans folks.

So I have hope. As Dominican sexuality and gender constructs continue to be redefined, more people are understanding their identities as Queer or Trans. On the mainland, many organizations have sprung up to help maintain the movement and enforce their Dominican identity politically, culturally and socially. As a diaspora, it is our duty to uplift queer Dominicans.

If your Dominican dance club plays homophobic music, stop it. If your Dominican community organizing and activism uses homophobic slurs, change it. Decena, Carlos Ulises.
