Abstract

In this article, I focus on the integration practices and discourses regarding "LGBTI refugees" in Brazil, in contrast with the precarity faced by queer immigrants and refugees in the country. I argue that those integration practices and discourses tend to limit "LGBTI refugees" to their sexual and gender identities, in dynamics that overshadow the processes of racialization that they experience as queer migrants from/in the Global South. In a critical analysis based on ethnographic research, I argue that the precarity lived by those refugees can only be understood in their articulations among gender, sexuality, and race. (AU)
