“…A professora Larissa Pelúcio , de olho no poder aquisitivo crescente de gays, lésbicas, bissexuais (pink money) e de demais sujeitos interessados na cultura LGBTQIA+. Um "jornalismo gay" que afirma sua qualidade na elaboração de pautas, reportagens e textos que tornam o circuito LGBTQIA+ mais próximo da sociedade brasileira(FEITOSA, 2018). Essa imprensa se inicia com o jornal alternativo Lampião da Esquina, nos anos 1970, e culmina na agência Diadorim, de jornalismo independente, engajada na promoção dos direitos da população LGBTQIA+.Existe ainda a averiguação de que as relações entre jornalismo e teoria queer se dão na busca e execução de linguagem fora da norma padrão.…”
