The work aims to analyze the image of homosexual subject in the Brazilian gay press, from the
newspaper Lampião da Esquina, which circulated from 1978 to 1981. The study, affiliated with
French Discourse Analysis, adopts the thinking of authors like Pêcheux (2008, 2014, 2015),
Orlandi (2012), Trevisan (2004), among others. We seek to understand the roles imposed on
homosexuals by the society, marked by heteronormativity, repression and authoritarian
discourses. Lampião acted as a “counterdiscourse”, using elements that denounced the
conditions of period. Thus, it sought to remove gays from marginalized spaces, giving new
meaning to discourses and proposing new meanings.
