In the organizational context, the gay subject is the target of prejudice and situations that put him in a position of embarrassment and vulnerability. In this sense, this article seeks to unveil how effeminate gays are perceived by other gays in an organizational context. In methodological terms, this article has a qualitative character and to produce the corpus of the research nine gay subjects inserted in public and private organizations were interviewed. Regarding the analysis of the corpus, we opted for the critical analysis of the discourse. It was concluded, from the interviews, that the subject who carries traits considered effeminate is understood as someone less capable for work, as well as masculinity is seen as a necessary attribute for the insertion of the individual in the organizational environment.
