Pride Parades and the Gay Marriage Law as Politicizing Events: Biographical Modulations among Gay Argentinean Men

Abstract

In this paper, I analyze two politicizing events of contemporary sexual diversity in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, Argentina: pride parades and the enactment of the gay marriage law. From biographical interviews with gay men, I explore tensions involved in each event: between celebration and challenges, and between the private and the public. I conclude that it is necessary to understand these political measures and the marks they leave on biographies, as part of the complexity of political sociability.
