6 Latinas in Politics That Are Here to Change the World

Texas state representative and overall Latina trailblazer, Gonzalez is making a name for Latinx in politics, especially those who identify as LGBTQ. After being elected in 2012, Gonzalez came out as pansexual (which means she's attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender identity), becoming the first openly pansexual legislator. As both a Latina and a self-identifying member of the LGBTQ community, Gonzalez has opened doors and allowed other LGBTQ Latinxs to see themselves in her position.
