Main Article Content
This article provides a narrative of Colombian lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender asylum seekers arriving to Miami, Florida fleeing from Colombia due to persecution based on sexual orientation. How these migrants negotiate national, ethnic, and sexual identity in Miami is explored. While these gay migrants form part of the larger Colombian Exodus into Miami/United States which started during the late 90s, what evidences suggest that these particular migrants are marginalized in this greater migration phenomenon? What kinds of resources and organizational support exist for these migrants and what barriers exist?
