Abstract

In this note on current situation, I propose to demonstrate a path of the relation between homosexuality and the press of national circulation in Brazil. As a starting point, I speak of the emergence of AIDS in the early 1980s, given that in order to talk about homosexuality the media resorted to medical and religious discourses to enunciate about the homosexual/the homosexuality, and I finish in the 2010s, when, in the same information carriers, other relations arise for LGBTQI+ subjects. From the French theoretical approach of discourse analysis, I write about the operations of the press and the slip of meanings in recent years of a relationship that never ends: these subjects are always objects of consideration in journalistic discourse.
