Resumo:
This ethnographic research aims an analysis of the LGBTQ movement in Montreal and
Salvador with regard to the tensions between actors/actresses and groups internal and/or
external to these movements, seeking to compare these power relations with the Brazilian scene
of the local LGBT movement. Approached from a comparative perspective, the conflict was
the object of work that had as its field 2 LGBTQ institutions in Montreal and 1 in Salvador, but
also all the LGBTQ spaces frequented, including incursions in social media. We observed that
these two matrices of political action present demands that, shared, gain transnational status,
communalities in terms of criticism and political strategies. This reinforces the idea of a
connection between struggles of the same group whose actors and actresses are marked by
shared intersections, even in disparate geographical spaces.
