Gender ideology has been injected into our American culture through institutions like Hollywood, universities, and public education. These institutions are effective at creating the illusion that most of the country aligns with gender ideology. This is far from the truth. Gender ideology is having a difficult time settling in with Latinos worldwide.

In the United States, the Left has worked overtime to erase the Latino culture by forcing the term Latinx upon them. This term is meant to be inclusive to those struggling with gender dysphoria and their identity. The term Latinx however, disrupts the Spanish language that Latinos have been speaking for centuries and it does not align with the culture. The Pew Research Center found that only 3% of Latinos in the United States identify with the term Latinx.

Latinos are rooted in traditions and values that include having respect for the nuclear family, putting their faith in God, and men being the providers of their family. Gender ideology is foreign to Latinos and goes against their faith, traditions, and values. If Latinos do not accept gender ideology through terms like Latinx, how does the Left insert this ideology into Latin culture? Through entertainment.

In recent years, Latin pop culture figures like Bad Bunny have been used to insert gender ideology into the young Latino generation. Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican gender fluid feminist who claims to push the boundaries in the Latin music industry. His genre of music is reggaetón, which is dominated by masculine male artists.

A Forbes article describes a music video Bad Bunny is in: “The Puerto Rican rapper is in drag for most of the video, while flaunting all his looks and making statements empowering gender fluidity.” In different performances, Bad Bunny can be seen kissing male and female dancers and wearing shirts that support the transgender community. When asked about how his gender fluidity translates to the clothes he wears, he states that he believes that clothing has no gender and men can wear dresses. Bad Bunny has been a recipient of multiple awards including Latin Grammys, a Grammy, and MTV awards.

Leftists understand that artists like Bad Bunny do not represent traditional Latin values or culture, which is why they have elevated his music within the young Latin generation. If they can inject gender ideology through Latin entertainment, they may slowly but surely change how Latinos accept gender ideology into their culture within the United States. Globally, however, this is not the case.

Organizations like Con Mis Hijos No Te Metas (Do Not Mess With My Kids) have opened chapters in Spain, Peru, and Cuba. Since 2016, this organization has mobilized parents and community members to fight gender ideology and the sexualization of children in their countries.

Latinos worldwide will not allow gender ideology to take over their culture without a fight. Americans may feel alone in the battle to maintain our traditions and culture, but we must remember that our Latin neighbors are in this battle as well.
