You started by putting up a poll of US latinx saying they don't use that word, which means very little. If you don't like that word, that's fine, but if you care about queer people, nb people who don't want to be forced into linguistic binaries (which is part of being a good socialist) you respect that first, maybe discuss it with them if it's good for the both of you, but to act like this is some sort of anglo conspiracy is ridiculous. You should know better than anyone how oppresively conservative our latinamerican countries can be and how that can seep into us, even if we can't see it.
