GBLT Community Making headlines and History in Puerto Rico

April 18 - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force reports that Communications Coordinator Pedro Julio Serrano made headlines following his testimony before a commission overseeing the revision of the civil code in Puerto Rico.

In a moving speech, Serrano implored the commission to support the right of same-sex couples to legally marry, and he called for transgender rights. At the April 11 hearing, Serrano (pictured, right) kissed his partner, Steven Toledo, prompting gasps by some and extensive media attention in Puerto Rico and beyond.
