As a young boy, Frank Rojas watched his older sister shine at her quinceañera. He secretly longed for a celebration of his own, but knew that these coming of age parties were only for girls.
Now, two decades later, the culture has changed and more boys are having their own quiceañeros. So Frank is throwing himself a double quince on his 30th birthday. On his own terms, but not without hesitation.
Come to Frank’s party to celebrate his big day. A day when he will be unapologetically queer, when he’ll blend his queer family with his blood family, and when he’ll get his own sparkle.
