Queer Mercado

¡Vámonos! Because in this podcast, you will be listening to LGBTQ+ vendors, artists, & creators that make up the Queer Mercado Community. You will get to hear their stories, motivations, and the many ways they contribute to their local communities. They are the magic of the Queer Mercado (QM).

Get ready to listen to the love, passion, and dedication behind the QM with your host Gaudencio Márquez.

In this episode, you will meet Amado Muñoz, Founder of Ethical Punk. He is a TransChicano creator and curator. His work and Arte adorn the spirit and challenge the toxic culture of masculinity.  

Thank you for listening!
