This article discusses the idea of recognition through the image of the black ‘bicha’, effeminated and poor, to think about the issue of LGBT rights in the contemporary context. This is done from the critical reactions of LGBT and non-LGBT in front of the music video ‘Me solta’ by funk singer Nego do Borel. The clip of the aforementioned music is understood in this reflection as a cultural artifact produced and reproducing relations of power and subjectivities that, through the laughable image of a figure quite widespread in the national media, teaches how much the question of recognition has been different in relation to decades ago. The methodology used is the ‘etnografia de tela’, that is, the one that uses techniques of ethnography associated with strategies of analysis of images and films. The theoretical reflection is demarcated mainly by post-critical authors (Feminisms, queers, post-colonial and decolonial). It concludes, among other points, that one needs to think, in times of moral panic and greater claim of LGBT rights, the stigma and fields of intelligibilities in the face of new experiences of recognition and identification, LGBT and non-LGBT, even through the discourses of non-representactivities.
