Abstract
This paper comprises a qualitative study of the current struggles that Latinx sexual minority individuals experience when coming out and embracing their true identities. Specifically, this research addresses the contribution of familial values, religiosity, schooling/curriculum, and society with coming out. The narrative inquiry through currere allows the stories of three Latinx sexual minority educators’ experiences in public education. The in-depth stories captured in this research explore the lives of three Latinx sexual minority individuals who are educators and how embracing their stories helped them to navigate their positions as educators in an urban district and reflect on their education with the use of currere. This research could bring a better understanding of the unique experiences of multiple minorities that are cross-generational coming out experiences of three Latinx sexual minority educators and how they rise above the oppressions, social constructions, religion, and familial pressures by telling their story of their experience of the curriculum through currere.
