This paper aims to present and discuss the representation of the first bisexual protagonist of a telenovela. This is Paloma, from the play Os Gigantes by Lauro César Muniz shown by TV Globo between the years of 1979 and 1980 in the band of 8pm. Through a documentary analysis, based on the understanding of the TV de Papel and the Communicative Resource, we study the repercussion of the bisexual identity of the character in mass and specialized newspapers and magazines. Also consulted the documents of the Divisão de Censura de Diversões Públicas with the objective of perceiving the censoring interference in the telenovela, regarding lesbianity.
