The Shifting Stance of Gavin Newsom on Latinx

The political landscape has been rife with discussions surrounding the term “Latinx,” a gender-neutral term for people of Latin American descent. Recently, Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, has made headlines for what some perceive as a significant shift in his stance towards this term.

Gavin Newsom’s past history with the term has been inconsistent, with recent assertions suggesting he and his office never utilized “Latinx.” In a discussion shared through various media outlets, Newsom outright rejected the term, stating, “not one person in my office has ever used the word Latinx.” This bold claim has raised eyebrows, particularly among those who closely followed his earlier endorsement of the term.
