| Sumario: | How to name the homo/lesbian/bi/trans/a/sexual –LGBT– transgressions in the case of Latin America when imported models do not respond (at least not completely) to the realities of the subjects that they attempt to define? This article explores how, against Western homosexual impositions, Latin American writers and artists, such as Néstor Perlongher, Pedro Lemebel, and Reinaldo Arenas, propose rebel strategies for re-imagining the queer Latin American project. Their creations contest important models, both theoretical analysis and dissident forms of being, and demand recognition of the social importance of love. To be queer in Latin America suggests, then, a kind of des-identity, an incessant-becoming, always-transgressive, always-self-emancipatory.
