| Sumario: | Lesbians and gays are about to gain full citizenship in Canada and several European countries. This represents a remarkable change, thirty-five years after the start of the contemporary movement for homosexual liberation sparked by the Stonewall riots. These achievements are the product of a social movement whose history is strongly marked by militant mobilization. Simultaneously, the process of restructuring capitalism opened space for lesbian and gay existence. The ever-deepening penetration of the market into everyday life created spaces for commodified forms of homosexual existence, represented by bars, restaurants, trade publications, fashions, and haircuts. Capitalism accommodated elements of lesbian and gay existence, facing frequent mobilizations, simultaneously opening and closing spaces for the practices of these communities. The era of citizenship and the commodification of homosexuality opens up new possibilities for anti-capitalist, queer, and Marxist-feminist politics. |
