“I think it came from a community that wanted to feel acknowledged and seen,” Odalys said. “It turned, I think, into corporations maybe adopting it and making it so that it’s like a blanket term for our community. I think we’re almost like perpetuating the problem when we have one kind of quote-unquote inclusive term but then it’s not inclusive of everyone’s experiences.”
Then in the early 2000s, “Latinx” started to gain popularity when queer communities in Latin America started to use the ‘x’ in various words such as “bexos” instead of “besos,” Spanish for “kisses,” Guzmán said.In 2017, Elisabeth Rosario founded the “Latinx Collective,” a newsletter highlighting achievements within the community. Rosario said the choice of name was a conscious effort to be open and inclusive.
