"What Does the Dance Floor Mean to You?"
Francisco Ramirez and Jasmine Garsd visited Queens, N.Y., to celebrate queer Latinx pride and remember the 49 lives lost at the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.
The attack hit a place that is practically sacred for Latinxs, and especially members of the LGBTQ+ community: the dance floor. For this episode, we collect stories of love, hope, freedom and joy on the dance floor. Listen below, or see the full story.
Since 2008, Francisco has put out a sign that says “Free Advice on Relationships, Sex & Dating” in New York City parks, streets and subway platforms.
New Yorkers line up and ask any question about:
sex + sexuality
hooking up etiquette
handling the E's & F's (emotions + feelings)
dating + relationship dramas
sexual health & safer sex in the real world
