I came across this by chance as a result of a Google AdSense ad for the keyword “Latino”. MarcaEres, which looks to me to be a pretty small company, got my attention because I don’t think anyone else in the U.S. (I’m assuming they are in the U.S. as the site is in English) is doing t-shirts and accessories for the gay Latino market.
It makes sense. Here in San Francisco, in the Castro District, you see lots of t-shirts with gay themes and clever comments on them (granted, only gay tourists buy and wear these), but I’ve never seen one in Spanish.
Study: Latino gay couples more hurt by marriage ban

In light of the gay marriage amendment’s passing in Texas, it’s interesting to look at statistics on how the marriage ban affects Latino gay and lesbian couples. A new study from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force does just that:
The policy implications vary according to the findings. According to Cianciotto, the analysis of the income data revealed that Hispanic same-sex couples may be even more affected by the inability to marry than comparable white non-Hispanic couples because of several factors—including the facts that they earn less, are less likely to own a home and are even more likely to report a disability. The report stated that access to the marriage’s “1,138 federal protections and benefits” would certainly help Hispanic couples buy homes and provide for their children.
