Somos (1973-1976) and Lampião da Esquina (1978-1981) were journals that circulated respectively in Argentina and Brazil in a historical context marked by authoritarianism and military dictatorships in the 20th century. These journals produced a political identity that comprised the identity disputes established within the homosexual community of the period. This dissertation aims to analyze and interpret these journals to understand which identities were formed in that period, as well as to highlight the disputes that came from the ghetto and were presented in the pages of newspapers. In the reading of an American historian based in the Netherlands, Peter Drucker, this was a particular historical moment of invention of the new homonormativity. That is, a period in which the political regime of same-sex formations was defined by the constant approximation between homosexuality and capitalism, this identity would be marked by the strong political and performative perspective of social assimilation. In this sense, this dissertation analyzes whether the identities present in Somos and Lampião da Esquina correspond faithfully to this historical understanding. The hypothesis of this paper considers that, despite the identity disputes present in these newspapers, the new homonormativity, in both contexts, has not been consolidated. The Latin American peculiarity of dictatorial contexts made this regime impossible at that time. However, it is possible to demarcate that the bases of this regime would be present in the identity disputes with the growing adoption of a perspective that distanced and excluded from the process of redefining the representations of homosexuality, femininity and, consequently, the presence of locas and fagots. The writing of this dissertation was affected by the economic, political and social impacts generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This research advances, albeit in small steps, in the process of understanding the construction of homosexual citizenship in Argentina and Brazil and can be used as a tool to consolidate public policies for the humanization of LGBTI + people.
