“…A remarkable characteristic of the Brazilian LGBT+ press is the amount of academic attention devoted to it. There are at least 4 books, 18 theses and over 50 articles on the subject (Green, 1999;Howes, 2004;Péret, 2011;Rodrigues, 2010). In the Histórias da Sexualidade (2017-2018) exhibition of the prestigious Museu de Arte de São Paulo, an entire section was devoted to the LGBT+ press, with a display of issues of Lampião.…”

This article charts the way that an idea originating in the United States – that homosexuals should be considered not as a marginalised minority but as a valuable niche market – was brought to Brazil by means of the glossy printed magazine, with its promise of attracting lucrative brand advertising. It examines two major titles –SuiGeneris and G Magazine – to show how the format was adapted in different ways to Brazilian conditions. This led to interactions with two existing factors, the LGBT+ social movement and the erotic male nude magazine, together with the contemporary phenomenon of celebrity culture. The article reviews scholarly research on the topic and tries to assess to what degree the original idea met its objectives, both on its own terms and within the wider social goal of combatting prejudice and discrimination against homosexuals.

Organa magazine (1990-1992) is the first known lesbian publication in Portugal and exemplifies the distinct course of lesbian activism in Portugal, namely the late emergence and consolidation of a national lesbian community and subculture. Organa also bears similarities with the international gay and lesbian press regarding its alternative character, objectives, editorial contents, and trajectory. Despite having adopted an assimilationist strategy during most of its existence, it is argued that Organa fostered the political mobilization of Portuguese lesbians.

This article describes the beginnings of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT) periodical press in Brazil. Structured around Benedict Anderson's concept of imagined communities and Jurgen Habermas's theory of the public sphere, it shows how a marginalized group constructed a positive sense of identity and set out to change popular culture by challenging prej udice and discrimination. The analysis concentrates on the mimeograph journals circulated among gay men in the 1960s, such as O Snob, and the pioneering community newspaper Lampiao (1978)(1979)(1980)(1981), examining their treatment of gender and sexuality through issues such as cross-dressing, sex roles, and street prostitution. Through their explorations of the LGBT sub culture and innovative use of discourse based on popular slang, these pub lications helped create a new space for the public discussion of sexuality as well as greater cultural awareness of a shared but diverse community.
