This project analyzes literary representations of men from the LGBTQ+ community in Chile and Argentina from the period of 1990 2016. I intend to show that through the works Mi amado Mr. B (2006) by Luis Corbacho, Sudor (2016) by Alberto Fuguet, Tengo miedo torero (2001) by Pedro Lemebel, La tan compleja y heterofbica historia de Juance (2015) by Mhoris eMm, La razn de los amantes (2007) by Pablo Simonetti and Vos porque no tens hijos (2011) by Osvaldo Bazn that writers are challenging traditional masculine subjectivities from an LGBTQ+ perspective. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, literary representations of gay or queer men have generalized them as pathologized figures in need of help or as deviants. Following the demands from activists of the Gay Liberation Movement, men from the LGBTQ+ community are taking control of their own visibility and proposing new possibilities of masculinity in the process. They are challenging the derogatory visibility regimes that have controlled negative images of them and worked to disempower them as citizens and people. Through an analysis of the literary works listed above, I will demonstrate how new regimes of visibility from authors of the LGBTQ+ community are changing the way LGBTQ+ men are constructing their own versions of masculinity, thus giving rise to an empowered gay masculinity, queered masculinity and gay fathers that challenge hegemonic masculinity as the desired expression of masculinity for men. These men are no longer concerned with justifying their existence but instead focus on constructing their own masculine subjectivities.
