Meet the 2011 Latin@Pride Co-Chairs:

Marta Perrupato has been a queer activist in the Boston area for the past fifteen years, collaborating with groups such as the Lesbian Avengers, MTPC and Somos Latin@s. Currently a community health worker at Fenway Health Center, Marta provides valuable resources to connect people with affordable health care. Marta’s identities as a queer and as a Cuban-American inform her activism and her connections in her communities. Recipient of last year’s Somos Latin@s GLBT Latin@ Community Member Award, Marta is excited to be co-Chairing this year’s Latin@ Pride. Marta currently resides in the Pegasus house in Jamaica Plain and is proud to call Boston home.

He has also served in the board of the Equality Fund of Alabama and as director of fundraising. Paul was an important force in getting the first openly gay politician in Alabama elected.  Paul moved to Boston to attend Harvard Business School.
