We latinos aren’t known for our wide acceptance of the homosexualisms, and unless you are both brown and same sex inclined, I never assume the most open mind. This year, a documentary by Judith McCray explores lives of some G’s, L’s and T’s (no B’s listed in the film description, sorry, wait, there is snibbet of a B in the trailer) in Chicago, D.C. and San Francisco. “The annual Latino Film Festival promotes Latino culture in the United States by presenting the best and most recent films from Spain, Portugal, Latin America and the United States.” Thankfully, amidst all the movies about dancing and familia, there’s at least one talking about us. Well, actually, a doc about queer latinos? Nevermind, this one will be about dancing and familia too. “Tal como somos / Just as we are” screens tonight at 8:30 PM and on the 15th at 6:00 PM, both at Instituto Cervantes, 31 W Ohio.
