Interview with Crispin Torres
Crispin Torres has been an LGBT advocate and worked to support LGBT people with national organizations for much of his professional career. In this oral history, Torres shares his personal story, from exploring his queerness in high school in Chicago to transitioning in his twenties, to the importance of family--chosen and biological--and the shifts he’s seen in transgender politics over the past 25 years. Torres shares insights on relationships, gay community and the spectrums of gender and sexuality. His story is full of nuance, complexity and reflection.
