Abstract
This article analyzes and explains the interpretive framework that the Homosexual Liberation Front of Argentina (FLH, 1971-1976) constructed regarding (homo)sexuality, the family, and the politics of liberation through the articulation of “psi knowledge” with a contestatory discursive field. Through the analysis of its publications (the journal Somos and the document Sexo y Revolución), it is possible to observe the intricate conceptual triangle composed by these three notions and by which the FLH understood that, to obtain a liberation capable of invert the stigma attached to homosexuality, the death of the family was imperative.
