Edgar Gomez is an American writer whose work explores queer Latino identity with humor and candor. His debut memoir, High-Risk Homosexual (2022), takes its title from a phrase used on a medical form and traces Gomez’s coming-of-age as a gay Nicaraguan-American in Florida — from drag shows in Orlando to a trip to Nicaragua to understand his family’s roots.
His follow-up, Alligator Tears (2025), continues his blend of personal narrative and cultural observation. Gomez’s writing has been praised for its wit and its refusal to flatten the complexity of living at the intersection of multiple identities.
