Resumo: In soccer, discrimination against homosexuals is perpetrated by homophobic injury, a performative speech act that silences and excludes gay individuals, reinforcing the hegemonic masculinity. As a reaction, gay soccer clubs have emerged to provide participation in the sport. Recognizing its relevance as practices of resistance, this article analyzes discourses of resistance to heteronormativity supported by players from gay soccer clubs. Interviews were conducted with 22 gay players from these clubs present in nine Brazilian capitals. According to the interviews, interpreted from the perspective of Foucault’s discourse analysis, three resistance discourses permeate such initiatives: resignification of injury by humor; interaction rules; and silences and invisibility. It is concluded that the speeches operate in a dual logic, in which the presence of statements tensioning the gender-sexuality order and the closet regime does not prevent the persistence of statements that reinforces these same heteronormative deployments.

Como reacción, han surgido clubes de fútbol gay para propiciar la participación de los homosexuales. Reconociendo la relevancia de estas iniciativas como prácticas de resistencia, este artículo analiza los discursos de resistencia a la heteronormatividad apoyados por jugadores de clubes de fútbol gay. Con este fin, se entrevistaron a 22 jugadores homosexuales de estos clubes, presentes en nueve capitales brasileñas. Los relatos, interpretados desde la perspectiva del análisis del discurso de Foucault, revelan tres discursos de resistencia que impregnan tales iniciativas: resignificación de la ofensa a través del humor; reglas de interacción; y silenciamientos e invisibilidades. Se concluye que los discursos operan en una lógica dual, en la que la presencia de declaraciones que tensionan el orden de género-sexualidad y el régimen del armario no impiden la persistencia de enunciados que, paradójicamente, refuerzan los dispositivos heteronormativos.No futebol, a discriminação contra homossexuais é perpetrada pela injúria homofóbica, ato performativo de fala que silencia e afasta indivíduos gays do referido esporte, reforçando o culto à masculinidade hegemônica. Como reação, clubes de futebol gay têm emergido para proporcionar a participação dos homossexuais no esporte. Reconhecendo a relevância dessas iniciativas como práticas de resistência, neste artigo são analisados discursos de resistência à heteronormatividade sustentados por jogadores de clubes de futebol gay. Para tal, foram entrevistados 22 jogadores gays integrantes dos referidos clubes presentes em nove capitais brasileiras. Os relatos, interpretados sob a ótica da análise do discurso de Foucault, revelaram três discursos de resistência permeando tais iniciativas: ressignificação da injúria pelo humor; regras de interação; e silenciamentos e invisibilidades. Conclui-se que os discursos operam em uma lógica dual, produzindo enunciados que, embora tensionem a ordem gênero-sexualidade e o regime do armário, não impedem a persistência de enunciados que, paradoxalmente, atuam reforçando estes dispositivos heteronormativos.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2020-12-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8270710.1590/1679-395120200097Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 18 No. 4 (2020); 1058-1070Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 18 Núm. 4 (2020); 1058-1070Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 18 n. 4 (2020); 1058-10701679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/82707/78729https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/82707/78733Copyright (c) 2020 Cadernos EBAPE.BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCastro, Gustavo Henrique Carvalho deSiqueira, Marcus Vinicius Soares2022-07-07T15:04:53Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/82707Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:18.770790Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
