The LGBTQ+ community has faced and continues to struggle against harsh discrimination because they blur gender binaries and challenge sexual norms that until recently were taken as natural. Expressions of support, teaching, and scholarly discussion of LGBTQ+ issues were seen as taboo and, at times, even dangerous. For many across Latin America and the United States, this experience continues to be the unfortunate reality. Happily, scholars of Latin American history and culture have given increasingly sustained attention to gender and sexuality studies, which we at HAHR<\/em> are proud to highlight here. Informed by a multitude of diverse sources, methods, and interdisciplinary connections, we clearly see that LGBTQ+ people are indeed crucially important to the histories and cultures of the Americas. Scholarship on homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality, queerness, and other forms of gender and sex nonconformity has illuminated how genders and sexualities have been constructed historically, how they intersect with issues like race, class, health, and nation, how complex cultural interactions complicate notions of human sexuality, and how unique circumstances in Latin American history contextualize constructed norms. The five articles included here explore differing expressions of these issues over the centuries and in varied contexts. Collectively, they demonstrate the extraordinary diversity of the expressions of human sexualities and exciting possibilities for further research.<\/p>\n
