Abstract


The aging of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites, transexuals, transgenders, queers, intersexuals, asexuals and more (LGBTQIA+) has been gaining recently greater visibility, and with this receiving greater attention from civil society. In parallel, it is also possible to observe the current context of memory recovery initiatives related with LGBTQIA+  people’s experiences during the brazilian civilmilitary
dictatorship. Considering this double context of emergence of these agents as LGBTQIA+ elders and the interpolation of their memories about the dictatorship, this article seeks to investigate the
narrative agency in their testimonies. To this end, we analyze the testimonies produced by the Museum of
Sexual Diversity (MDS) of São Paulo, within the  "Memories of Sexual Diversity” program.
