Producers: Tania Unzueta
...That you're a woman far away
is no hindrance to my love:
for the soul, as you well know,
distance and sex don't count...
"Phyllis"
Those who are familiar with Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz's poetic portraits, and especially the ones that are addressed to paintings of her friend and patron, the Condesa de Paredes (or Lísida), can naturally assume that she was a lesbian. But Tania Unzueta explains to us that while she would love to claim her as part of the LGBTQ community, she refuses to assign her to a category, since she is not alive for her to say. But if she were, there wouldn't be anything wrong with that, right?

Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz Review
Forgive my broken Spanish.
Tómelo por favor fácil. Déjeme explicar algo a usted: Te quiero. Quisiera que usted supiera que vaya a tomar a responsabilidad de me del tipo del tiempo I esto encendido. Entiendo que mi propia infelicidad y holgazanería son toda la parte de lo que decido hacer. No sé adónde iré de aquí. Una de mis líneas preferidas que he leído no es "nada prevista para el resto de la semana o el resto de mi vida." No recuerdo la fuente. Para todos sé que la escribí. Le amaré por siempre. El amor desafía categorías.
