spelling A History of the LGBT Movement in MaputoUma história do movimento LGBT em MaputoMozambiqueActivismLGBTHomosexualityMoçambiqueAtivismoLGBTBased on ethnographic and archival research, this article presents a genealogy of the Mozambican LGBT movement from its origin to the present. Thus, it addresses the first homosexual parties; the movement’s first newspaper; the movement’s institutionalization via the organization known as “LAMBDA”; and the latter’s relationship to the Mozambican state. Two arguments are presented here: first, responding to debates about discourse on the exogeneity of homosexuality in Africa, I argue that the history of the local LGBT movement is one of the reasons that the predominating discourse in Mozambique identifies “homosexuality” with foreigners, with whites and with urban settings . Second, the article takes issue with Africanists that emphasize homophobia on the continent, showing that there is a certain ambiguity in the relationship between the Mozambican state and the local LGBT movement.A partir de pesquisa etnográfica e documental, o artigo apresenta uma genealogia do movimento LGBT moçambicano desde sua origem até os dias atuais. Nesse sentido, ele aborda as primeiras festas homossexuais; o primeiro jornal do movimento; a institucionalização do movimento na organização “LAMBDA”; e a relação desta última com o Estado moçambicano. Dois são os argumentos aqui apresentados: respondendo aos debates sobre os discursos de exogenia da homossexualidade em África, argumento que a história do movimento LGBT local é uma das razões pelas quais faz sentido para o senso comum, em Moçambique, atribuir a “homossexualidade” aos estrangeiros, aos brancos e à cidade. Em segundo lugar, o artigo busca se contrapor aos africanistas que enfatizam a homofobia no continente, demonstrando a particular ambiguidade que há na relação do Estado Moçambicano com o movimento LGBT local.UFBA2021-11-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDouble-blid peer-reviewed articleArtigo avaliado por pares em regime de duplo anonimatoetnologia africanaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/3638710.9771/aa.v0i64.36387Afro-Ásia; No. 64 (2021); 320-362Afro-Ásia; n. 64 (2021); 320-3621981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/36387/25533Copyright (c) 2021 Afro-Ásiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMiguel, Francisco Paolo Vieira2022-06-21T15:23:15Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/36387Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2022-06-21T15:23:15Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false
