Oral History with Konstello Armonia Villegas Velasco, February 2020
Abstract
Self-described as a warm individual, Konstello came to Brampton when they were 4. For a few years they attended a Catholic school and had to deal with some bullying, but it did not stem exclusively because they were queer. Konstello identifies as non-binary, masculine presenting and referred to some specific instances where they were able to catch a ‘heteronormative break’ from the cultural and societal norms that they found themselves in. They also describe the relationship that they have with her family, which can be described as difficult. Konstello’s high school experience was better than that of elementary school, as they found a close group of queer friends.
