Bio

Sue Moreno was born to Chicana and Indigenous Mexican parents on February 25th 1957 in Davenport, Iowa. She grew up in a low-income, multicultural neighborhood in the city’s East End. From a young age she wanted to play football with her brothers instead of cooking and playing with dolls as she was instead encouraged to. As a child of Mexican descent, Sue was segregated into a special class at school, then placed into vocational classes aimed towards hairdressing and secretarial work.

For as long as she could remember, Sue knew she had no interest in boys. She began experimenting with her sexuality from sixth grade, when she managed to persuade her female friends to practice kissing with her. In high school, she started sneaking out to gay bars with her friends, where she was able to fully embrace her sexuality comfortably for the first time.
