Latinos and Hispanics are solid supporters of fair and equal treatment for LGBT people. Talking About LGBT Equality with Latinos & Hispanics (which also includes Conversando con latinos sobre temas y personas gays), focuses on four key shared values - family, respect, faith, and opposition to discrimination - that form the foundation of effective conversations with Latino audiences. The guide also provides approaches for discussions that build support for marriage: a focus on shared values of family and fairness, and the importance of illustrating the harms of denying marriage to gay couples.
