Focusing on the 1970s, the analysis explores how the Brazilian homosexual movement challenged societal norms during the military regime. Amidst increasing repression, activists emerged, demanding recognition and respect through protests and publications. The periodical Lampião da Esquina, particularly its "Cartas na Mesa" section, serves as a key resource for understanding this transformative identity formation and the fight against heteronormativity, highlighting the evolving social landscape and the emergence of new voices within the movement.
