The Puerto Rican Lesbian and the Puerto Rican Community

Hidalgo, Hilda A.; Christensen, Elia Hidalgo

Journal of Homosexuality, 2, 2, 109-120, Win 76

Puerto Rican lesbians (N=61) were interviewed as well as members of the general Puerto Rican community (N=264). Attitudes of both groups were analyzed. Lesbians feared rejection from the community, which was the dominant attitude of community members. Cultural values and a literature review are also presented. (HLM)
