Brazilian gay
Brazil is the largest and most populated country in South America and Brazilians are well established to be kind to foreigners, welcoming them as if they were their friends. Brazil is a paradise for visitors since the country has such a diverse offering. Incredible beaches, jungle, cold weather in the hills, adventure, desert landscapes and mega cities are just a rare of the things awaiting visitors to Brazil. Even traveling from the south to the north is a diverse experience due to the unique cultures found in a country of its size. In truth, this diversity can even be a culture shock for Brazilians themselves traveling their own country. When it comes to finding LGBTQ+ amiable destinations in Brazil, the options are quite varied, but they are mainly located along the east coast and in major capitals, even inland.

ABSTRACT
The exhibit article inquires into the ways in which a presumed Brazilian "managing" of sexual categories or identities (mainly associated to male homosexuality) has been conceived of in anthropology since the conclude of the 1970, sometimes becoming an axis for building and maintaining a national identity characterized as exotic, backward and non-Western. We also trace parallels between two historical moments of reflection regarding the links between sexuality, customs and politics, briefly reviewing some of the early theoretical and empirical contributions that prefigure the central concerns and conceptualizations of today's sexuality studies: the instability and fluidity of sexual identities and the entanglement of sexuality with dynamic and contextual power relationships and social h
