Resumen
MATIAS, Joana. Pink Carnations: Notes on the Place of Sexual and Gender Dissidence in the History of the Revolution. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2024, n.133, pp.35-50. Epub 31-Mar-2024. ISSN 2182-7435. https://doi.org/10.4000/11pr2.
Scholarship on LGBTQI+ history in Portugal has identified a point of inflexion in the pre- and post- revolution periods: the publication of a manifesto signed by the Movement for Revolutionary Homosexual Action (Movimento de Acção Homossexual Revolucionária - MAHR) in the Diário de Lisboa on May 13, 1974, and its condemnation by general Carlos Galvão de Melo on national television on May 27. This moment is considered to have triggered the end of MAHR and led to the rejection of the legitimacy of LGBTI+ issues in politics. This article invites a challenge to the thesis of an incongruence in the revolution with regard to sexualities. My goal is to insert this episode into a genealogy of the revolution’s many rejections, as well as assert the importance of gender and sexuality as analytical lenses through which larger political transformations can be viewed.
