Chicanos Going to Hell?

So here's a link to the SeattleWeekly column - Ask A Mexican about... well you can read it for yourself. Here's the beginning statement:

'I am a chica struggling with coming out to my parents about my sexual orientation. My family is Catholic and my parents are old-school. While we are very close, I am scared of how badly this can go. My parents have been living in the U.S. about 45 years, and they have adopted some American attitudes about life. What are your thoughts concerning those of us who juggle Catholicism, homosexuality, and old-fashioned (but great) Mexican parents?' (Full-Article)

Oye! I didn't know you were still blogging!

The first thing that strikes me is of course, this "chicana" believes that because her parents are Catholic, she can therefore think about going to heaven or hell. I think she's got bigger things to think about than lesbianism.

Que tu piensas de todo esto?

(LOL!) I know I’m still here… I haven’t done much blogging for a while. I’m swamped in school work… too much! – I thought you had left the blogosphere as well.
Chicana? Well, issues and more issues, what can I say.
