The Struggles And Victories Of Latino Trans People

The classic steakhouse scene meets authentic Latin style and design at Eva Longoria's Hollywood Boulevard restaurant, Besos. Equipped with overstuffed chairs, wrap-around booths and a white oak wood-burning oven, the atmosphere complements the servings of sangria, tequila and cocktails derivative of meddled fruits.

Late May of this year, 22-year-old Victor Diego, a gay and transgender man, who goes by the name of Vivian Diego and works as a waitress at the trendy establishment was faced with the unthinkable. He left work at 2:30 a.m. after working a lengthy shift. As he made his way home, he was accosted by four men, and beaten until he lost consciousness.
