The research aims to study the subversive issues surrounding lesbian sexuality, based on gender studies on the social representation of female experience, understanding lesbianity as a threat to these patriarchal and heteronormative values and standards. Accordingly, we look at the forms of repression employed socially to contain this potential and analyse the duality that characterizes lesbophobia: prejudice against homosexual relationships between women and the problematizing of women's refusal of romantic-sexual relationships with men. For this purpose, we used a literature review, especially of authors who reflect on the issue of lesbianism, and a focus group with the Coletivo Lésbico de Uberlândia (CoLeUdi), in order to include the experiences of lesbian women who experience lesbianity in Uberlândia. We found that the lesbian community faces invisibility, not only in society in general, but also in the movements it is part of, such as the LGBTI+ movement and the feminist movement. Therefore, we present in the research the historicity of lesbo-feminist resistance movements and the potential for transgression of conservative and discriminatory values of lesbianity.
