The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the lived experiences of queer Latino men in the community college borderlands and how community college spaces shape the activation and deactivation of their identities. Twenty-one queer Latino men enrolled in San Diego County community colleges provided insight into the role that interlocking systems of power and oppression play in the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality in their community college experience. The queeruptions in this study seek to inform community college practitioners, education leaders, and scholars on how to develop a critical awareness of self within dualistic and hegemonic discursive spaces. I posit that this transcendence and reflexive experience is necessary to effectively design evidence-based diversity, equity, and inclusion practices and policy that are mindful of the intersectional identities and lived experiences of queer Latino men.
