Boate Queen Vogue – Campina Grande – PB: espaço para afirmação de identidades homoafetivas?

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the nightclub Queen Vogue as an important space in the city of Campina Grande to the affirmation of identities homoaffectives. The use of theories about the constitution of the identity of individuals, especially the sociological category of subject allowed us to understand that identity is formed in the interaction between self and society. The sociological category of subject was fundamental to the understanding of identity in modernity, whose essential feature is to allow mobility of the individual, that is, their freedom of movement, assuming different identities. Employing the theory, ethnographic practice and the use of interviews, confirmed the importance of these spaces of sociability for individuals experiencing their sexual practices and to release their homoaffective desires, thus affirming an identity that is repressed in other social spaces.
