By analyzing the construction of interface field and dialogue between Communication for the Citizenship, Gender Relations, Feminisms and Lesbianities, the present article aims to contribute to the knowledge of recent history on the lesbians’ space in the knowledge production about media, in order to enlarge the reflection on democracy, from the consideration of intersectionality of Social Movements struggles and the alchemy of the categories. In order to achieve the intended aim, the text reports research that counted on survey and analyzes of presented works, in 2015, in the Research Group Communication for the Citizenship of Intercom (Brazilian Society of Interdisciplinary Studies of Communication), in the Work Group Communication and Citizenship of the National Meeting of Compós (Association of Post-Graduation Programs in Communication) in the WG of History of Alternative Media in National Meeting of Media History and in the Brazilian Conference of  Citizen Media. The article sought verify if the selected texts thematic was on communications of lesbians – organized in groups or present in the individual form in several medias; it also verified the theoretical contributions, general themes and articles authorships. The year 2015 was chosen because it establishes the 40 years from 1975, Woman International Year, created by UN, important date for all women. Also in 2015, in the 26th of June, the United States Supreme Court approved the marriage of the same sex people along the country, among other important facts related to the topic. In considering the recent historical conjuncture, the present text questions the focus of research in Communication events. In the scientific events mentioned here, we realize that there is little or no space for the lesbian theme. This, in a scenario that, on the one hand, presents the tension between the traditional erasure of these women and, on the other hand, presents the dynamics of the events of the year chosen as the frame of research.
