Sergio Carlos has filled many roles and identities throughout his life, including student, athlete, activist, journalist, Mexican-American citizen, and open and proud member of the LGBTQ community. Through sharing stories of inequality and advocacy from people across the state, Equality Florida is elevating ally and community voices to come out and say #IAmFlorida.
Now, more than ever, the stories of people within this community serve as a reminder of our humanity, our diversity, and our collective drive toward positive change. It is a community that has been united in their oppression, but even more so in their resilience, strength, and hope. Over the decades, the LGBTQ community has been subject to violence and discrimination that has come to a head with the recent massacre at Pulse Nightclub.
