The revolution that began in April 1974 did not guarantee from the outset the issues of gender equality and non-discrimination in relation to sexual orientation. These were issues in which the time of the revolution did not coincide with the legal and social changes that continued in the following decades. Even with the participation of women in the revolutionary process in its different contexts, the ancestral gender subalternity imposed by patriarchy remained after the revolution and was the stage for the existence of a significant women’s movement and, subsequently, for the LGBTI+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex) movement. The articulation between the two movements from the end of the 1990s, in shared actions around the demand for the decriminalization of abortion, makes evident the common problems and responses. This article seeks to illustrate the decisive influence of a radical component in both movements from 1974 onwards.

Palabras clave : Feminism; Homosexuality; Patriarchy; Social movements.
