A new emancipatory political culture for "sexual minorities"

A thoughtful look from LGBT reality to the proposal for renewal in the political culture and social emancipation of Boaventura de Sousa Santos

Abstract

Boaventura exposes two theoretical problems important to rid the great challenge of change the neo-liberal conservative utopia by the critical utopia. The silence and the difference. People gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans are part of these populations that have been silenced. But we don't talk about people gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans from hegemony. Because the neo-liberal utopia has hegemonized city white gay man. He has even erected it as a banner of a movement. It has proposed us a homosexual lifestyle according to the capitalist needs. Therefore, it is relevant to point out that when we talk about LGBT movements we refer to the voiceless of the voiceless. The oppressed of the oppressed. To Indians, mestizos, blacks, and poor. To them.
