We identified four moments of thisprocess: 1) The "Gay Pride" represents the initial moment of organization inthe post-war period; 2) The "LGBTI" as result of the consolidation ofidentities; 3) The emergence of "Sexual Diversity" as a political player; and4) "Making a difference without being different" that represents restrictedsocial recognition. We used the concepts of sexual politics and symbolicactions for the analysis of each proposed historic moment. In conclusion, theLGBTI movement has promoted social questioning the binary patterns ofsexuality as well as the gender essentialism, through symbolic actions. Thesexual politics has focused on promoting the human rights of the LGBTpopulation.
