Abstract
Abstract: The histories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual minority (LGBTQ+) people in the United States are often minimal, nonexistent, or erased—mainly due to the systemic transphobia and heterosexism that have prevented LGBTQ+ of the past from living authentically in their gender identities and sexualities. For queer and trans people of color, including LGBTQ+ Filipina/x/o Americans, histories are even more susceptible to invisibility or erasure, due to the added stigmas within and toward communities of color, religious groups, and immigrants. This paper draws on limited existing resources and speculative analysis to highlight the histories of LGBTQ+ Filipina/x/o Americans from early to contemporary migration waves—utilizing primary sources, as well as queer theories and methods. Personal reflections and future directions for Filipina/x/o American history are discussed.
